13/3/2003 - supporting comic relief

Ronan recently visited the most deprived area of London to see children in poverty.  These children have had suffered in the past and have struggled to survive.  There was a small art gallery where young children were expressing their feelings in pictures.  This is a project sponsored as part of Comic Relief.  Red Nose Day is tomorrow (14th March 2003) and you can help by making donations and helping those get a second chance in life.

You can see Ronan's message by visiting the Official Ronan Keating Website.  Also visit the Red Nose Day website for more information about how to donate and help.  Please help.  Thank you.

6/3/2003 - unlike ronan!

Ronan has been working in a brand new advertisement for Dutch brewer, Heineken.  But it won't be Ronan as we know him...because believe or not, the picture show top left is actually Ronan!!!  He is impersonating Lily Savage for the advert!  The advertisement campaign gets several stars disguised in such a way that they become total unrecognisable! 

Take another look at the picture below left, this is a celebrity dressed as a gangster, but the person is a model named Jodie Kidd who actually looks like what is shown on the bottom right!  Cool, eh?  The advertisements will be on TV soon, so you better have a look out!!!
