Busted in the Jungle


So failed solo star Matt Jay/Willis (whatever hes calling himself these days) has been in the jungle for two weeks now, and to say hes in the outback hes been a busy boy.

Last week his album, complete with 'as seen on I'm A Celebrity!' stickers hit the shelves and successfully flunked into the charts at 46 and his new single with this ridiculously serious video is lined up due for his release from the jungle jail.

But whats the real scoop about Matt's entrance into the jungle is the current law suit against him, James Bourne (see Son of Dork) and Busted's former manager filed by two previous members of the band.

But what's that you say, Busted were a trio?

True but only after the two main founding members Ki Fitzgerald and Owen Doyle were thrown out by the record company (that's when Charlie was recruited therefore not involved). Now the two founding members want a split of the royalties and their names back on the songs they helped write (which turns out to be most of the band's hits)

In other words, they're due some long awaited cash.

So the jungle trip has proved quite successful for Matt. Despite an unsuccessful chart position, when exiting the jungle Matt is due for publicity all round, and he managed to avoid a court appearance in the process!
Its just a shame he may be parting with some large cash amounts at the end of it.

Who said fame comes at a price?
