DELTA Goodrem has just thrown a glass of red wine in a fit of rage. The target the forehead of her fiance, Brian McFadden. Her aim is spot on.

A bleeding McFadden is eyeing off a chainsaw with a destructive glint in his eyes.

He’s swearing at her, she’s yelling at him. Then the director says “cut”.

The loved-up pair are playing combative lovers in the video for their duet Mistakes.

Loosely based on Brangelina’s Mr and Mrs Smith, the clip starts with a romantic dinner that triggers an explosive domestic dispute.

The pair may have the occasional argument, but this fictitious one is turbo-nuclear.

On set in Sydney last week, director Dan Reisinger is yelling obscenities at Goodrem to get her in the (war) zone for the fiery feud.

“It’s not every day Australia’s sweetheart gets called a f—-g b—-,”Reisinger laughs.

“I had to get her motivated.”

“The first word I said after ‘cut’ was sorry . . . before re-loading and letting her have it again.”

While Goodrem taps into her Logie-winning Neighbours days for angst-on-cue (“Brian’s like ‘I don’t want to offend you’ I’m going, ‘Come on!”‘), McFadden struggles to abuse his partner of six years.

“The happy bits are easy,” McFadden says, “trying to get each other riled up is hard.”

IT’S Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden – now with added chainsaw.

The musical couple play dysfunctional, destructive lovers in the video for their new duet Mistakes, a song about a failed relationship.

“The song isn’t romantic, so neither is the video,” Goodrem said on set in Sydney yesterday.

“Privately we’re romantic people and we’re very much in love but we don’t feel the need to express that in public.

“We like the idea of playing. It’s meant to be fun and angry, like the lyrics.”

Loosely based on the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie Mr And Mrs Smith, the video has Goodrem put McFadden’s watch in a blender and smash up his gold records.

McFadden retaliates by slashing her handbags and taking a chainsaw to her piano.

“Apparently the piano was in the graveyard and about to be destroyed anyway,” he said.

“No real pianos were harmed in the making of this video.”

The video will hit TV screens later this month. The song is from McFadden’s current album Wall Of Soundz.”

Goodrem, who was in Melbourne on Thursday night performing at fashion label Forever New’s spring collection launch, said she felt inspired and refreshed and was busy recording her fourth album in the US.

“It is strange, turning 25 was like starting a new chapter for me,” Goodrem said.

“I am in the most creative head space I have been in for such a long time.”

Goodrem, who is engaged to singer Brian McFadden, said she hoped the album would be ready next year.

Goodrem, who has set up home in LA, will be in Australia for a fortnight.

SONGBIRD Delta Goodrem has put down roots in the US, buying a home in the Hollywood Hills.

Goodrem bought the five-bedroom, four-bathroom, double-storey home after having looked around for the perfect base in the US real estate market for months.

“Yes, that is true. It is a great time to buy and it was a good opportunity at this time to get into the market there,” Goodrem said.

“I started saying to myself last year I would find a base and at Christmas time I started looking.”

Goodrem, who performed at the Forever New Spring collection launch in Melbourne on Thursday night, said home ownership in the US did not mean she was leaving Australia behind.

“I love Australia and it will always be home,” she said. “In fairness, I have spent so much time there (LA). I know it just as well as I know anywhere.

“I noticed the change in the air that a lot more things were coming up there (in the US) and it was a good time for me to be there and have a home there, especially while I write this record.”

Goodrem, who is working on her fourth album, also dismissed speculation she had secretly wed her fiance, Brian McFadden.

While Tinseltown tattle suggested the I Believe (sic) singer had bought the house for herself and fiance of almost three years Brian McFadden, apparently it’s just a lease.
