It's fair to say we all have little obsessions, whether it's with a band, a singer or even just going shopping; everyone has a guilty little pleasure. 

But when that guilty little pleasure comes between your marriage, it should be pretty clear that you've gone too far. 

That's what happened to a woman, Kirsty, who appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show, and after many years, replaced her husband with her obsession for Westlife. 

The couple even named their children after band members, Shane Filan and Kian Egan. But her husband, Adam, said he's had enough. 

Adam told Jeremy: "I'm tired of being the doormat. I've had enough of Westlie."

He even admitted that his wife was so obsessed with the Irish band that she said she wished Shane Filan was the father of her children. 

"I'm obsessed, I've got an obsession with them," Kirsty said. 

But then Jeremy had a special surprise for the mother-of-two and played her a video message from Shane, who invited her to one of his gigs next year. 

Kirsty then proceeded to go into meltdown mode but made a big error when Jeremy asked her a question.

The host thought that he might have patched things up with the couple – as did everyone else – but when he asked, "Then you're probably going to go back to the hotel and have copious quantities of sex.. You want sex [with your husband], yeah?"

To which Kirsty replied, "Well Shane would be better." *facepalm*

He's been married to Jada Pinkett Smith for twenty years, and Will Smith has finally revealed the secret to a happy relationship.

Unfortunately, it's a little less romantic than you might think. Speaking at the LA premiere of his film Concussion this week, the actor said the main thing keeping his marriage going strong was his and Jada's insistence on "not quitting."

And indeed, the 47-year-old star admits his two decades of marriage haven't always been easy.

"It’s like our marriage was the most difficult, gruelling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know we're just not quitters."

While many long-term couples would say teamwork is important in a relationship, Will seems inclined to disagree.

"I would say is that we never went into working on our relationship.

"We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously."

Over the last few years the couple, who have 17-year-old son Jaden and 15-year-old daughter Willow together, have been plagued by divorce rumours.

However they've always insisted they're as strong as ever – with Will even taking to Facebook earlier this year to put an end to the speculation.

"So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness… Jada and I are…NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he wrote.

"I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I'll tell you myself."

Their approach to marriage might be a little unorthodox, but twenty years on it still seems to be working for this pair.

Countless numbers of Irish women might disagree – but research has now revealed that men are, in fact, BETTER in bed after taking a few pints of the black stuff.

Yes, in her recently published book, The Married Sex Solution: A Realistic Guide To Saving Your Sex Life, Dr Kat Van Kirk highlights the four different ways beer-drinking guys benefit when it comes to getting busy in between the sheets.

And coming in for particular praise are dark beers such as Guinness.

Why? Because, explains Dr Kirk and as reported by askmen.com, the high amounts of iron contained in stout increases the amount of blood circulation to the penis. This in turn can then boost a man’s libido and lead to longer, more intense erections.

That's not all, however. No siree. Dr Kirk, a clinical sexologist and marriage and family therapist, also explains that beer ultimately supplies your body with plenty of phytoestrogens which are scientifically proven to delay orgasm.

Meanwhile, Italian researchers have found that daily beer drinkers have more stamina than their sober counterparts — and are 31 percent less likely to have heart disease, heart attacks or strokes (nope, we're not questioning it either).

Finally, Guinness is especially rich in probiotics and B vitamins, which are excellent for digestive health (because nothing says 'mood kill' like a dodgy tum). This also means "you won’t feel sluggish during sex," Dr Kirk adds.

She broke up with her boyfriend of six months, James Harden, last week in light of her estranged husband's collapse and hospitalisation.

Now Khloe Kardashian, 31, is officially throwing herself back into her marriage: she and Lamar Odom have gone to court to dissolve the divorce paperwork they filed in July.

TMZ reports that Ms Kardashian's lawyer Laura Wasser went before a judge this morning asking that the documentation they both signed to end their marriage be withdrawn. 

Ms Wasser had with her a written statement from Mr Odom, which he had penned from his hospital bed, writes the New York Daily News.

The court has now granted the request and their file has been thrown out. This all means, of course, that the couple (they married in September 2009) very much plan on remaining husband and wife.

"This is a very delicate and difficult time for both Lamar and Khloé, and the most sensible thing to do at such a time is not make any big moves and put everything on hold," a source also told PEOPLE.

"So that’s what she is doing." 

The duo had split in December 2013 but conflicting emotions meant they never actually got around to signing official divorce papers until earlier this year. 

Khloe’s rapper ex French Montana, whom she dated last year, has called her vigil at her estranged husband's bedside "a beautiful thing."

"I feel like once somebody's going through a critical condition, I feel like people should step up to the plate to help because once upon a time they had a real relationship when they was married, they still married," he told the New York Daily News.

It is believed that 35-year-old Lamar's recovery and rehabilitation will now take months. And certainly, he's lucky to be alive – a fact that evidently has made both him and his wife reevaluate their love for one another.

They've been inseparable for close-to six months.

Indeed, in August when a loved-up Khloe Kardashian threw a mega 26th birthday bash for the equally-smitten basketball star James Harden, it very much seemed that the pair were the real-deal. 

However, in light of her estranged husband's collapse in a Nevada brothel and subsequent hospitalisation, Ms Kardashian has been forced to re-evaluate their fledgling relationship.

And despite friends and family being hugely supportive of their union, it's not good news for Mr Harden.

Yes, perhaps unsurprisingly, the 31-year-old reality TV star has now made the decision to cut all romantic ties with James so she can focus 100 percent on Lamar Odom's rehabilitation and recovery – which reportedly will take several months.

TMZ, which broke the story, now says: "We're told Khloe is putting her relationship with the NBA star on ice, and as one source puts it, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see she still has deep feelings for Lamar."

She and Lamar, 35, split in December 2013 but only signed divorce papers in recent months – documentation which hasn't yet been processed. 

Ms Kardashian dated rapper French Montana last year before hooking up with 6ft 5in Houston Rockets star James. 

After staying quiet on social media while Mr Odom remained in a critical condition, Mr Harden has in the last 48hours made a return to Instagram. He posted a snap which shows him posing up alongside Houston Astros baseball star, Carlos Correa.

On Sunday an interview he did before Lamar's collapse appeared in the The Houston Chronicle. "Turning 26 was special,' Mr Harden admitted.

"Khloe did an amazing job with the birthday party."

He added that professionally and personally, things in his life were going well. "Everything is flowing. Everything is what I imagined it would be," James explained. "My family is great. Friends. Everyone is in a good place right now."

It's been a particularly baffling breakup: even in celebrity terms.

When Brian McFadden and Vogue Williams announced their split in July – via identical messages on Twitter – their fans were undoubtedly shocked.

Married for just two-and-half years, the couple had recently bought a house together in north Dublin and had acquired a new puppy. 

Even their closest friends were said at the time to be taken aback by the revelation of the duo's apparent marital strife. 

Since then, the stars have also rarely been out of each other's company, attending a load of the same high-profile events and regularly directing public messages to one another – complete with kisses – on social media.

Indeed, when the model and DJ celebrated her 30th birthday in Dublin earlier this month, she did so with the former Westlife crooner by her side.

But then, Brian, 35, and Vogue are still living together in London, with Vogue explaining that "it's hard," to find a place in the English capital.

Now, there are fresh claims that the close pair are in fact in the midst of reconciling. 

A well-placed source told the The Mirror: "Officially, both are saying they’re still not together. 

"But it’s plain to see there’s still chemistry there and their old feelings for one another haven’t gone away."

There is currently no official comment from either camp.

Incredibly, online commentators have recently begun to increasingly question whether the pair ever really broke up in the first place.

"It was a publicity stunt to raise Vogue's profile," suggested one. "It worked. She's been in the media more than ever since their 'split'."

Another offered: "This has been a master class as to how to keep you name in the papers."

But a third was kinder, saying they'd love to see them reunite: "Yea I don't believe that they really split up. You can tell that they adore each other and nothing has come out about why they split. In an interview recently he described her as his 'best friend'.

"As amicable as a divorce can be, I wouldn't say that's how you would refer to your ex. Would be nice to see them back together."

Mr McFadden has, of course, experienced marital breakdown before: he and his first wife Kerry Katona were married for two-and-a-half years. They broke up in 2004 and together have two children, Molly, 13, and Lilly-Sue, 12.

Curiously, his own break-up announcement came hot on the heels of gossip that Kerry and her third marriage, to George Kay, was over. That couple have now confirmed their split and are in the midst of divorcing. 

Also engaged for several years to Aussie singer Delta Goodrem, Brian married Ms Williams in a lavish ceremony held in Florence in September 2012, photographs of which were featured in a glossy Hello! magazine spread.

Usher, you have broken many hearts around the world today!

The singer stepped out yesterday in Beverly Hills wearing a big gold wedding ring, which sparked A LOT of speculation of whether he tied the knot to his fianceé Grace Miguel.

But now, E! News have confirmed that the couple did indeed get hitched, but there's still a lot of guessing to where and when. 

Speculation of a possible marriage first began to fill the Internet when the bride – and long-time business partner – posted a photo on Instagram from Habana, Cuba, that showed Usher's new gold band on full display. 

Not to be outdone, Grace also sported some major bling over that holiday too, which appears now to be when the couple were on their honeymoon.

Back in January, E! News confirmed that Usher popped the question, but all other details were left frustratingly unknown. 

"They are extremely happy and the way it was done was very sweet and romantic," one insider told E!. "He can't wait to spend the rest of his life with her."

Late last year, Usher spoke to Billboard about the love of his life. 

"She's someone who's been able to support and understand all of who I am. Not just as a dancer or as a performer or as a singer, but as a humanitarian and a businessman and as a person."

They said "I do," nine months ago in Hawaii – a lavish but family-focused ceremony held following a five-year relationship.

But as they approach their one-year anniversary, Jenson Button has spoken candidly of his marriage, admitting that he and his model wife Jessica don't see each other very often.

In fact, the Formula One star travels the world's motor-racing circuits for much of the year. And when he does have down-time, he spends it at his residence in Monaco. 

Jessica Michibata, 30, on the other hand, resides some 10,000km away from the south of France – in Tokyo with her mum, in the same apartment she lived in prior to her marriage.

"Jessie still works a lot in Japan. She enjoys her job, she models, she had a television show and has just done a Japanese film,’ he explained.

"She enjoys working, which is great, but obviously it means that we don’t see each other very often. We’re definitely not settled in Monaco together."

The 35-year-old, worth €83.5m, furthermore admitted in conversation with Mail Online that he is a "not the same," while racing.

"I have to be selfish. I have to be focused," the Englishman said. 

"I am a very different person, and Jessie knows that, and she understands that, as do most of my friends and family. I can be a bit snappy over a race weekend."

And it seems Jenson is pretty set in his ways too: "I just need my apartment to be simple, easy, so I can come in, do my thing, and leave again, pack and repack and leave."

Mr Button, who currently drives for McLaren, continued: "You have to be so selfish when it comes to motorsport. The amount of hours you have to put into the training… you have to be selfish to succeed."

He and Jessica met in a hotel bar in Japan back in 2008 – though it took him a full eight months to persuade the lingerie model that his reputation as a womaniser and playboy was unfounded.

They separated for a while in 2011 – allegedly because she was becoming impatient with his lack of real commitment – but they quickly got back together.

Jenson popped the question on Valentine's Day last year, and they married within ten months.

Brian is currently doing the rounds with media ahead of the release of his new single Call On Me Brother.

The 35-year old, who recently split from wife Vogue, has said that he has no regrets about the failure of both of his marriages. The 35-year old pointed out that happines is what he belives is the most important thing for people. He said that:

"If people break up, they break up and it's not as big a deal as people make it out to be."

Having lived in the US Brian believes that their approach to marriage is more realistic than the Irish approach:

."I have lived in America, in LA and New York and this is normal. People get married all the time.

“Irish people are so used to meeting someone, getting married, having kids and then spending the next 40 years hating each other but living under the same roof."

Brian said that we don't live in that world anymore and people "have just got to be happy."

He and Vogue announced their break up in July and since then have been the subject of must discussion regarding how they still appear to be quite close. The Mirror writes that Brian has pointed out that he doesn't think that breaking up with someone means you never speak to them again.

“It doesn’t always have to be some big World War where people start fighting and hating each other. Everyone should just live their own lives by their own rules," the father of two added. 

He also commented that he doesn't think he will be getting married again any time soon, pointing out he's still technically married now so he doesn't see a third trip down the aisle in his future. His marriage to Kerry Katona in 2002 also ended in a break up four years later.

The singer is currently revamping his solo career with his latest single which notes is:

“It’s about the lads because I think boys always struggle to tell each other about emotions or feelings or anything like that.

“They are all a bit too cool so I wanted to write a song saying ‘You’ve always been there for me so if you ever need anything I’ll be there for you."

Brian will be playing his first Dublin gig in a decade this November in Whelans and his new album is set to be released early next year.

They were married for just three years – but a decade after their divorce; Jessica Simpson says that Nick Lachey remains her most costly mistake.

The businesswoman – now worth some €132m – was speaking on CNBC’s Closing Bell slot yesterday when she was asked about what her most expensive blunder was.

“My first marriage,” the 35-year-old star says immediately before breaking out into a smile.

During their time together, Jessica and Nick, 41, famously appeared in three series of the hit reality MTV show, Newlyweds.

It made them both international stars, but they filed for divorce in December 2005; they had said ‘I do,’ during a lavish ceremony held in her native Texas in October 2002.

Both Ms Simpson and Mr Lachy now have children from their current relationships: he has been married to Vanessa Minnillo since 2011, while she wed Eric Johnson last year following a lengthy engagement.  

Earlier this year, Jessica said she'd have a “panic attack,” if she had to watch an episode of Newlyweds now.

This is just adorable!

It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since Neil Patrick Harris said "I do" to his partner David Burtka. 

But in honour of the special day, the former How I Met Your Mother actor took to Instagram (because who doesn't nowadays) to celebrate his anniversary. 

"One year ago today I had the pleasure of marrying David Burtka."

"I am so happy that I did—he's a truly wonderful man." He also added, "Here's to many more laughs and adventures…!"

The IG snap is just perfect for showing their love and affection!

The lavish wedding took place in Italy – with only a small number of friends and family attending the romantic ceremony.  

Sir Elton John treated Neil and David's twins to a performance, followed by the newly married pair dancing to Kelly Clarkson's hit, A Moment Like This. 

"It was nice. It was very small, intimate. Only 45 people were there," Neil told The View shortly after the big day. "I just wanted to be able to say nice things about David, to David, in front of the people who matter most to us…a declaration to share in front of our kids."

Their recent nuptials were the talk of Hollywood: together for four years – and engaged for three – Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux should still very much be in the throes of newly-wedded bliss.

Indeed, and despite their lengthy engagement, the actors were seen to have a rock-solid union.

But the couple, who said their vows during a top secret ceremony on August 5 at their €20m LA home, have now been shaken by claims that their three-week-old marriage is OVER.

Specifically, the most recent edition of Life & Style magazine claims that Ms Aniston, 46, can "no longer fake the happiness".

A source goes on to explain that she and Mr Theroux are "fighting non-stop," and that 45-year-old Justin is simply “happier when he’s away from her than when he’s with her”.

“She can’t even fake the happiness anymore," the Life & Style source adds. "Jen is wondering if she made the biggest mistake of her life by marrying Justin."

Whether the rumour is true or not has yet to be confirmed by the couple's representatives, however, one thing does seem certain: they are currently apart – albeit for filming. 

He has now begun work on his new HBO series, The Leftovers in Texas, while Jen is filming in Atlanta for Mother's Day.

Following their wedding, the love-birds had enjoyed a sun-soaked trip to luxurious Bora Bora for their honeymoon – and, unusually, they were joined by a gaggle of pals including Jason Bateman and Courteney Cox.

If true, Justin and Jennifer could lay claim to one of showbusiness's shortest marriages.

Members of that notorious group include the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson, and Britney Spears and Jason Alexander.
