Corrs & Cranberries make up...

As the world's top pop stars prepare to fight it out at the MTV Awards here in Frankfurt, we can reveal that rivals THE CORRS and CRANBERRIES have finally ended their bitter feud.

The pop stars, who have both been snubbed from the nominations for tomorrow's bash in Frankfurt, have been locked in a war of words for six months after Cranberries star DOLORES O'RIORDAN attacked the Corrs in an interview.

Tempers flared when Dolores bumped into guitarist JIM CORR at a night-club in Dublin and confronted her about her remarks. But now the groups have called a truce after Dolores and ANDREA CORR met backstage at a concert and patched up their differences.

Dolores, 30, told me: "I have to say that I met Andrea Corr back stage at a concert and she was absolutely lovely. She was with her dad and everything was cool between us. The argument initially started because I said in an interview that I wasn't a big fan of the Corrs. Yes, Jim and I had a bit of a run in at a night club but it was because we were both a bit drunk. He said that he had heard about my comments and was hurt by them. But I've met Andrea and I actually admire what the Corrs have done. I want to be quoted that everything is fine and it's all sorted out."

Sources close to the bands say both the Corrs and Cranberries are breathing a heavy sigh of relief. "It wasn't good for either of them to be waging a war of words against each other," an insider said. "They are both in the process of promoting new albums and it doesn't look good if they end up spending more time talking about each other than their own work. Andrea and Dolores got on very well and there was no tension or bitterness between them. I don't think they'll be lining up to do a duet together but it's fair to say that the war is over."

BRYAN McFADDEN has decided that he is getting married at Slane after all - and now he's hired a magician to entertain guests on the big day. The star furiously denied reports he was to tie the knot at the famous venue recently, but just like magic he changed his mind a few days later admitting he was trying to protect the privacy of the big day.

The singer has hired local magician Keith Barry for the January 5 wedding and splashed out on the same security guards as Posh Spice Victoria Beckham used for her wedding to David. Lets just hope that they turn up at the right venue!

RONAN KEATING better not get in the way of LIMP BIZKIT hard man FRED DURST at tomorrow night's bash. The motor mouth lead singer warned: "I can't stand male pop singers - they are all the same. If any of them get in my way I'll probably knock them out. They should all be ashamed of themselves."

Looks like Fred could have his hands fill tonight if he is forced to share the back stage area with the likes of Ronan, TRAVIS and CRAIG DAVID.

WESTLIFE star KIAN EGAN can't hold down a serious relationship because girls can't handle his fame: "They just don't understand that girls are going to try and come on to me at night-clubs because of the Westlife thing. They say they love me and then complain because of my job - it's an impossible situation sometimes. It's hard to hold down a serious relationship at the minute."

EMMA LEDDEN admits her biggest downfall is that she can't stand working out - even though she is a member of four top London gyms. The TV beauty told me: "I have been trying for ages to get motivated to start keeping fit and I just can't do it. I gave up smoking a while ago and I vowed to start going to the gym a couple of times a week. I have membership at four different places and I never go. It's terrible."
