News In Brief: Burton In Hot Water As Baby Theo Goes Worldwide
Let it be known, this was the week in which NIB curled up into a ball and died inside.
Theo Horan (Niall’s 1-year-old nephew, in case you didn’t know) now has his own website in what can only be described as mind crushingly insane.

Despite the trademark tattoos and body piercings they insist they wouldn’t harm a fly, a country music loving farmer from Roscommon though, that’s a different matter. Continue reading
