Atomic Kitten Liz McLarnon has been offered half a million pounds to go on a blind date - and turned it down.

A Dubai businessman called her agent, saying his 21-year-old son was besotted.

The man said his son was heading to London for a holiday and wanted to meet up with the star.

He thought £500,000 was an offer that could not be refused - but it was.

"Of course it's flattering but I was really embarrassed," said McLarnon.

"There's no way I could go out with someone for their money," she told the Daily Star.

The businessman and his son saw Atomic Kitten perform in Dubai during the summer.

The paper says they were ready to transfer the money into McLarnon's bank account and offered first-class flights, a limo and an expense account.

It also reports that, last year, an Italian playboy sent her £1,000 worth of flowers every day for weeks. Last Updated: 10:33 UK, Tuesday October 28, 2003

Money can't buy happiness, so you'll just have to rent it. Part of me feels sorry for this guy's son. What a revolting thing to have one's dad try to buy you a date...and have it turned down!

Reminds me of when two lady friends of mine went to Egypt. Both were single at the time but were advised by their travel agents to purchase wedding rings and wear them at all times unless they wanted to be incessantly propositioned by the "pious" Muslims over there. Ugh.

[Sir Gawain]

Never heard of her.

What does an Atomic Kitten perform?

"Atomic Kitten"..................sounds like a bad Ed Wood movie. (or is that redundant??)

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

Her press agent dreamed this up, probably while under the influence of heavy drugs. People will believe ANYTHING, if they see it in print!

What the heck is an Atomic Kitten?

Sounds like something prone to urinary tract infections, spews radioactive hairballs, and has to be killed nine times.

I must be getting old...

Beats me, but I hear it has 9 half-lives. ;)

[Zavien Doombringer]

Sort of what the Viking Kittens do here, except Atomic Kitten does it on another level

[johnb838]

They are Hot, Hot, Hot, and not freaks like spearz and aguilera, at least not yet, we can always hope they'll stay that way.

[Onelifetogive]

Can you imaging how messed up a family has to be....

Uh...Dad...Could you buy me a date for 500,000 pounds? Please....I'll keep my room clean....take out the garbage.....

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks. Now, which of the kitties is the 500,000 Pound Liz?

Well, to be fair, any woman on the street in a Muslim country is automatically assumed to be a whore, since "good" women are kept under lock and key, out of the public eye. Diversity. Go figure.

[Ditto]

...and has to be killed nine times.

I quess that means they have 18 half-lives.

500,000 pounds for a date! Man, that's one expensive pu---------- er ------- kitten.
