The good news is that Mike Tyson wants to get involved with a boy band. The bad news is that he doesn’t want to beat the piss out of them.
Iron Mike, as noted this morning on BenMaller.com, wants to get involved with a boy band called “Westlife.” He says he wants to cut a song with them. Seriously. He wants to sing with them.
I’ve never heard of these Westlife characters, but I think it’s fairly safe to assume that they are an embarrassment, and to call them musicians would be akin to calling Craig Stadler an athlete. It’s not my concern that Mike Tyson is going to be a part of a terrible song… that’s pretty much a certainty. My concern is that there’s just no limit to what Mike Tyson will do for a few bucks, no matter how embarrassing it is, and I just don’t want to see this keep snowballing. Porn just seems inevitable at this point, doesn’t it?

Actually, that ship has pretty much sailed too.

I remember Jameson’s reps blowing up that whole Tyson thing as being false. But you never know. Mike once said that people would pay to see him sit in the middle of the ring and rub one out.

Oddly enough, I actually heard about these Westlife guys the other night. My girlfriend was watching Simon Cowell’s True Life, or whatever. Biography style show. Anyways, I guess he was the one who worked with them back in the day. This was all before his American Idol crap.
