Cher is a big fan of The Corrs and begged us to take a photo of her with the Brit-winners. The wigged one commented on the size of the wee Irish family who joked back, "We're only little leprechauns!"
Andrea's Hot Stuff
The Rumour: Andrea Corr is being romanced by two of pop's greats. Robbie Williams showered the singer with bouquets of flowers and a cactus, while Andrea was also spotted leaving a swanky showbiz party with U2's Bono.
The Truth: A "What Can I Do To Make You Love Me?" no romance here! "As far as I know, Robbie did indeed send Andrea some beautiful flowers and a cactus, but it would be wrong to read anything into it - they're just good friends," explained Andrea's press lady, calmly. As for Bono and Andrea getting it on: "All the Corrs are very friendly with all of U2. They've known each other a long time. The other Corrs were at the party but Andrea wanted to leave early so Bono very kindly agreed to give Andrea a lift home." Good to hear the age of chivalry's not dead after all!
TOTP Magazine Anniversary Greeting

Message Reads: "Congratulations Top of the Pops.
Love The Corrs." |
"Superstars? Who, Us?!"
Do you reckon The Corrs are more at home washing their smalls in a lauderette than hanging out at celeb-packed haunts like London's trendy Met bar? Read on and prepare to be shocked....

If we were to turn up unexpectedly at your house, what would we find you doing?
Andrea: Cooking, definitely! I do a good fish dish.
Sharon: Me too. I make up my own recipes. Lentil and bacon soup, Chicken Catalan, trout with pistachio nuts and Cajun seasoning.... I've only ever had one cooking disaster when I dressed the salad too early and it went completely soggy. Awful!
Caroline: I love cooking Irish stew or steak and mashed potatoes.
|
Sharon: My fridge is always well-stocked with fresh vegetable and different types of cheese. (Getting very enthusiatic!) I love the stuff but cheese kills my sinuses. It completely blocks up my nose.
Jim: I eat out a lot or shove something in the microwave. I'm a bit lazy that way.
Do you ever do your own laundry?
Andrea: Not often cos when we're on the road we just hand it over to the hotel staff.
Caroline: I do my own washing at home but I get a lot of clothes dry-cleaned. I've got a gorgeous blue Italian coat that I couldn't risk ruining.
Have you ever suffered any washing machine disasters?
Andrea: Plenty! I've shrunk things and once everything in my white wash went pink!
When was the last time you cleaned your toilet?
Jim: Ha! The last time I was home my mother cleaned my toilet for me. I didn't ask her to, she volunteered!
Disgraceful! Do you have a favourite household chore?
Sharon: I really enjoyed grouting the tiles in my bathroom. It was a bit of a pain but it was quite nice not thinking of anything else but the grouting!
And your most dreaded type of housework?
Sharon: Vacuuming! I hate it. I'd rather sweep than vacuum so I got rid of all the carpets in my house and laid down bare floorboards.
Caroline: I hate it when there's loads of toothpaste all over the bathroom. Oh, and I can't stand cleaning mirrors.
Jim: I have loads of candles all over my apartment. Sometimes the wax drips on the maple floor and it's a curse to get off. I have to get down on my hands and knees and scrape it away with a blunt knife. It takes ages.
Do you ever wander around your home naked?
Jim: I'd feel very comfortable wandering around the house with no clothes on, as long as no one was looking. Trouble is, I've just moved into a new apartment and there's no blinds on my windows yet so I have to be very careful when I walk out of the bathroom after a shower.
When was the last time you went to the dentist?
Jim: Quite recently, when I broke a tooth in the BBC canteen eating some pork.
Were you scared?
Jim: To be honest I tend to gag if anybody goes towards the back of my throat so I don't really enjoy it but I'm not scared. I have a very good dentist and even the way he puts the needle in is painless.
And your last visit to the supermarket?
Andrea: A few days ago when we were home. I bought some stuff for the house - bread, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt.
Do you ever get trolley rage?
Caroline: No! I've never had trolley rage, although I have got very irritated if there's been a load of people crowding round the vegetables blocking my way to the mangetout. I don't push and shove though cos I hate it when people do that. I just wait politely.
Have any of you tried to blag a half-price kid's ticket?
Sharon: Yes, Andrea always pulled that trick when we first started working as a band. She looks really young anyway and she used to put a wee hat on and suck a lollipop at the ticket window. The guy knew quite well how old she really was cos we used to serve him pints in the pub. That's charm for you!
Caroline Corr's Snob Or Slob Quiz
How much is a pint of milk?
I haven't a clue! Erm, about 60 or 70 pence?
Where do you buy your knickers?
Oh, that's personal! Either M&S, cos they always have a great range, or just a regular lingerie shop. I prefer comfy undies.
How many credit cards are you carrying right now?
One. Just a regular VISA card.
Where do you get your hair cut?
At a small salon in Dublin. That's my regular place cos I like the guy there.
What kind of toilet paper do you buy?
Hahahaha. Mad questions! I like extra padded. I always go for the most luxurious option!
