ARE YOU SURE THEY SAID FIVE, ANTHONY?

Clearly, these are the good times at Universal, as they've got enough cash sloshing about to sign up Anthony Costa for a five album deal. Perhaps he misheard and they thought he was in Five. Anthony - whose main talent is not wearing a shirt - seems to be about the seventeenth former member of Blue to be given a solo contract for reasons that aren't actually that obvious.

His first single will be out just as soon as he's chosen a shirt to not wear. There was supposed to have been a release this week, but it was pulled in order to avoid a head-to-head battle with Blue village idiot Lee Ryan's single - which suggests that Universal aren't entirely convinced they picked up the right bit in the Blue distress sale.
