Ricky martin shocker


In perhaps the least surprising revelation ever committed to a blog, Ricky Martin yesterday revealed to the world on his website that he is a "fortunate homosexual man". Celebritree wonders if this was news to anyone; whatever next? Will cheryl be exclusively revealing that she's a Geordie? Will posh admit to the world that she can't sing?

Cheryl Cole - SHOCK news!

Cheryl Cole is to write a book revealing her rise to "national treasure" status. Celebritree can't wait for this literary masterpiece to hit the shelves, amid rumours that she was offered amounts rivalling those given to Tony Blair for a tell all autobiography.
However, closer reading of the story reveals that in fact this book is destined to be more of a glossy picture book than a real outpouring of all the intrigue of Cheryl's life. Apparently Cheryl likes looking at pictures of herself as they bring back memories (her wedding, discovering her husband's a love-rat via the tabloids, her slugging a toilet attendant in a Croydon nightclub, the subsequent court case etc etc).
Well, maybe Ashley's scrapbook idea isn't such a bad one - Cheryl can use that as her starting point! (Although Ashley's own autobiography was hardly a rip-roaring success...)
The book is to be released in September and will apparently have the highly original name, My World. Unfortunately Peter Andre is beating her to it with his revealing and scintillating lifestory coming out in July - also called My World.

Peaches Geldof

Peaches Geldof must be in big trouble with her Dad, Bob. Topless photos of her have been circulating on the internet - now nothing particularly unusual in that, some readers might say. However, rather more worrying is that the guy who posted them (nice chap, apparently thrown out of university for holding a female student at knifepoint) claims that their one-night stand was a heroin and viagra fuelled shagfest. He claims that they ended up at a Scientology center to be cleansed (although Celebritree thinks that a good long shower would have been far more appropriate).

Peaches is strongly denying the stories and says that the photos were taken on a boozey night. There is certainly no denying that it's Peaches in the pics though - her distinctive tattoos give her away (celebrities: when will you learn? Tattoos only seem to bring trouble!). Peaches was out and about yesterday, picking up a coffee from an LA branch of Starbucks, where she is now based (LA, not Starbucks).

The questions now are what will Bob do about his middle daugher, who seems to be veering further and further off the rails? Why can't she just be sensible like Fifi Trixibelle? And is Peaches heading for a collision along the lines of that of her late mother, Paula Yates? Please, step in Bob, before it's too late for Peaches!

Jobs for the X-Girls

Well, there have been plenty of rumours as to who Simon Cowell would recruit as a judge for his new US version of the X Factor. Lots of people thought that he would favour Cheryl Cole and give her the opportunity to start afresh in the States after her marital problems.
However, it seems that Simon has another lovely lady from his life in mind: headline star and ex-girlfriend, Sinitta! Sinitta, always ready with some worldy wisdom for the much younger Cheryl has apparently suggested that she try elocution lessons so the Americans can understand her Geordie accent...

Seems that's not all of Simon's recruitment issues resolved though. Dannii Minogue's baby is due whilst X Factor is filming and she is keen to give birth in Australia, meaning he needs another X Factor judge for the UK. Any suggestions, Celebritree readers?

Nadine dropped from Girls Aloud?

Rumours are continuing to circulate about the future of Girls Aloud - as regular Celebritree readers know, the girls are scheduled to get back together later this year to fulfil their 3 album deal with their record company. However, seems that the other girls are starting to come to terms with the idea that their next album and tour might be as a fourpiece. Apparently Nadine has indicated that she has no plans to get back in the studio with the other girls this year and is busy on her solo material (which still doesn't seem to have seen the light of day despite being amazing and in great abundance...)
The others are all still super-chummy, rallying around Cheryl in her hour of need, but Nadine seems to be out of the picture. Let's hope that Nadine doesn't go off the rails as previous 'first to leave a 5 piece band' celebs: Robbie and Geri...

Oh, you old romantic!

Ashley Cole seems to be showing a previously unsuspected romantic side. He and Cheryl have another potential reconciliation meeting scheduled for Easter weekend and Ashley's clearly hoping for better things this time.
So keen is he for a reconciliation, that he's got out his (hopefully round-edged) scissors and Pritt stick and is using his free time (while he recovers from his injury) to put together a scrapbook for Cheryl showing all their happy memories together. Presumably this won't include any of the naked pictures that he mistakenly texted to other women or indeed the cheesy shot on the right for which the couple were slated.
Who would have thought that Ashley was secretly such an old romantic? Previously, his idea of romance seemed to be stopping mid-deed to vomit on some poor hairdresser's carpet, before getting back to the job...
Good luck, Ashley! Although what a shame Cheryl's 'surprise' has been spoilt by a leak to the papers...

Another tattoo removal

Honestly, it's really hard to keep apace with celebrity tattoos. As fast as some celebs are adding to their body-art collection, others are frantically trying to get them erased. The latest is Kerry Katona, who has her ex-leech, Mark's name tastefully tattooed on her shoulder. Kerry has said she wants rid and "it will be gone within weeks".

Meanwhile, Kerry is on the up again and is busy with her latest fitness regime - for another reality TV show. This time she has an ex-Corrie star (stripper Sam if I recall rightly) to help her train. I'm sure we'll all be glued to our screens with this A-list pairing. Good to see that there's life after Coronation St though...

"Robbie saved my life"

Geri Halliwell has confessed to Piers Morgan (does anyone else think it's weird that celebs and politicians are lining up to confess their deepest darkest secrets to Piers - who, not so long ago, was celebrity enemy no. 1 as Editor of the Mirror?) that she nearly died after leaving the Spice Girls. Thankfully Robbie Williams was on hand to save her from herself (note to readers: if Celebritree's life is on the line, please allow her to die peacefully rather than inflict Robbie and all his issues on her) and brought her back from the brink. Geri has spoken before about her issues with bulimia and admitted to Piers that she still attends overeaters anonymous sessions to help her cope with her relationship with food. Celebritree wonders what the other people at these sessions look like - are there lots of stick-thin people attending overeaters anonymous sessions? Maybe Geri should take Nadine along next time for some company...

David Beckham's new tattoo

Well, isn't that sweet? David Beckham has found a small spare bit of arm to tattoo with a touching tribute to his late grandfather. David's back in sunny LA now with his Dad helping him look after the boys, while Victoria catches pneumonia (probably) in Moscow. He needs to watch those tattoos though - he just needs to grow some moobs and he'll be at risk of getting jumped by Jesse James...
In another piece of heart-warming news, apparently World Cup officials are keen to give David some kind of role in the opening ceremony, now that he won't be able to play. Let's just hope they don't make him dress up as the mascot!

Cheryl Correction

Apologies, readers! It seems that Cheryl was just "readjusting her hair" and not sending out messages to her ex-hubby or trying to get her pic in the tabloids with her beaming smile and wedding ringless finger. Sorry Chezza! (Yes, readers, she actually issued a statement to tell the world this...)

VB chilly in Moscow

Celebritree favourite, Victoria Beckham, has been out and about in Moscow. She was there to launch her fashion label in one of their exclusive stores and wore her own creation to do so - a stunning shirt dress that Celebritree would willingly add to her wardrobe.
Later that evening she enjoyed a night at the Bolshoi ballet, wearing another of her creations, although Celebritree thinks she must have been a bit chilly in sub-zero temperatures and no coat, hat, scarf etc! Although, let's face it, VB is never afraid to suffer for fashion - squeezing her bunions into those pointy high heels. As Celebritree's mum would say, "Och, her pride will keep her warm".

Sober "Celebrity" Mum

One 'Celebrity' Mummy who certainly wasn't rocking last night was notorious WAG, Vanessa Perroncel, who was preparing to face her ex Wayne Bridge in court as she fights for more child support from him. He apparently takes home £88,000 per week from Man City so can probably afford to send a bob or two Vanessa's way. However, he claims he's offered her £10K a month and a fab house (hmm, Celebritree is thinking that she could probably bring up a child and add to her shoe collection substantially on that tidy sum) and doesn't want to give his "parasitic" ex any more, believing rumours that she recently received a generous payout of £800,000 from her ex lover and his ex team-mate, John Terry. Vanessa's PR (who else but Max Clifford - whose whole income seems to be based on B list celebrity affairs) states that this is categorically untrue - though Celebritree wonders why she turned down some big offers to tell all to the tabloids. Although maybe Vanessa is just a decent woman who didn't want to air her dirty linen in the Sun? She certainly doesn't seem to be enjoying the attention here, does she?

Cheryl back in the news - PHEW!

Celebritree has just realised with horror that a whole day went by yesterday without Cheryl Cole doing anything that warranted Celebritree comment. Thank goodness though as Chezza has been out and about in Paris, adding fuel to Nadine's accusation that she likes to play out her private life in front of the cameras.
Yes, never one to forego a photo opportunity, Cheryl is keen to show all the paps that she is not wearing her wedding ring. Looks like she's really shattered about it too, doesn't it?
No doubt due to her devastation and recent bout of bronchitis, Cheryl is looking worryingly thin in these photos. She's certainly not about to let Nadine hog the 'OMG! Has she got an eating disorder?' headlineswith this teeny tiny waist!

Mummys rock

Celebritree imagines there will be a few sore heads in London this morning after the Mummy Rocks event last night at the Bloomsbury Ballroom. This was a real celebrity mum fest, though Kate Moss managed to steal most of the headlines as she hit the karaoke hard! She could even teach Pammy a thing or two about tossing her hair around!
Sadie Frost also looks a little worse for wear... Thankfully Tamara Beckwith and Sharleen Spiteri were on hand to add a bit more sophistication to the evening.

Sandra Bullock and the tattoo covered ladies

Of course, normally Celebritree is entirely focused on Katie Price’s latest wedding plans, Cheryl and Ashley’s “will they, won’t they” divorce and what Victoria Beckham is wearing for today’s flight. However, this side of the Atlantic, gossip seems to be entirely focused on poor Sandra Bullock and her disintegrating marriage.
Has Sandra already called time on her marriage and consulted a divorce lawyer? Thankfully, she shouldn’t have to worry about her finances as apparently she and Jesse signed a pre-nup, so she’s safe on that count.
Was Michelle McGee an isolated affair or is Jesse a serial philanderer? Rumour has it that she is just the first to go public and that while Sandra was away filming, Jesse would get bored (maybe he should just get together with Brian McFadden while their better halves are away?) and would advertise for big breasted women with lots of tattoos. Well Michelle certainly fits the bill there. As does his ex-wife - see pics. This man is all class, clearly.
Now MM’s ex-hubby has come out (looking spookily like Jesse) and said that she is a bunny-boiler who was obsessed with bedding Jesse and was convinced that he would dump Sandra for her. He claims that she was going to profit financially and gain celebrity (or should that be notoriety?) from her affair with Jesse one way or another.
Now Jesse’s ex-wife has come crawling out to bring a custody battle back into the courts for their 6 year old daughter, Sunny. Jesse and Sandra were awarded custody after Sunny’s mum, porn star Janine Lindemulder, was jailed for tax evasion. Now in a halfway house, Janine apparently feels that life with her and her husband (an ex-jail bird with a background in gun crime and drug-dealing) would be better than the insecurity offered by Jesse and Sandra’s crumbling marriage.
The only thing that all of America seems to agree on is that Sandra is the loveliest person in Hollywood and nobody deserves this less than her. Nobody seems to have seen Sandra since the news came out but everyone who has ever known her has been jostling to give exclusive insider interviews!

Keeping up with the Spice Girls

So, we all know that Mel C is busy glamming herself up and playing in the West End's Blood Brothers; Geri is out on the party circuit with her latest beau, Tamara Beckwith's baby bro; Victoria is living in airports; Emma is offering her considerable ice-skating expertise every week on ITV - but what of Mel B? What has she been up to (apart from inflicting scary haircuts on her kids)?
Well, it seems that she's been involved in a celebrity tennis match, partnering up with pro Novak Djokovic to lose to Jay Sean and Ana Ivanovic. She selected a very conservative, Wimbledon-worthy tennis outfit for the match.
However, Celebritree is pleased to see that Mel B hasn't suddenly gone all classy on us after photos of her out with her husband at an Italian restaurant. Someone should tell Melanie that the idea of a kaftan is to cover yourself up...

Jordan already driving Alex nuts?

Alex Reid has taken up 'Emotional Freedom Therapy' in order to help him cope with the stresses of being an "international celebrity" (get over yourself, Alex!) and (the probably considerably more stressful) pressures of being married to Katie Price. He says that he is hoping the therapy will have a positive and calming influence on his new wife and that it will help them build an even deeper connection. Bleurgh!
One sign that, despite this miracle-working therapy, the stresses are getting to him, is that Alex has declared that, like her ex, Pete, Alex is in love with Katie but definitely not enamoured of her alter-ego, Jordan. Celebritree is pretty sure that his new manager/wife didn't authorise that statement...
It would seem that Katie is doing a reasonable job as his manager though, as apparently Alex has auditions coming up for a role in a big budget, high profile BBC drama. But should things sour between Alex and Katie, he can rest assured that he has a fall-back option: Boy George has revealed that he has the hots for Alex...

Brian and Delta - Split shocker!

Celebritree is often quick to criticise celebrities for moving through their relationships at lightening pace. Not an accusation that could be levelled at Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem, who have been together for 5 years and engaged since 2007. There was talk of a wedding at one point but apparently their schedules were so busy, they couldn't fit one in. Now, it seems, their busy schedules may be to blame for a split. Delta has been in LA working on new material (or something), whilst Brian is in Australia touring as a judge on Australia's got talent (pity Australians if they are relying on ex-Westlifer Brian to uncover their talent...) Unfortunately he's also found time to work on a new album, Wall of Soundz, which, unfortunately again for Australians, is getting lots of airplay over there. Celebritree also heard that he was still embroiled in a custody battle for his 2 daughters with Kerry Katona, Molly and Lily Sue, after Kerry's drug shame scandal.
Amazingly, despite all this going on in his life, Brian is finding that he is getting very bored home alone without Delta and so is moving out of Delta's $1.4million luxury and in with his mate, director Dan Reisinger. No doubt they can crack open a few tinnies, throw a few barbies, play on their X-Box together and have a whale of a time. Will Delta be rushing home to rescue her relationship? Hmmm...

Dancing with the Stars

Yes, on this side of the Atlantic, Celebritree is ahead of readers over in Blighty. Last night the new series of Dancing with the Stars premiered in North America (catch it on Friday in the UK). Now, Celebritree has often snubbed this show in the past as the 'stars' are often unknowns back in Europe. But, let's face it, last year most of Strictly's 'stars' needed full introductions before we had a clue who they were.
So, DWTS's line-up is looking pretty good this year: that one from the Pussy Cat Dolls (with beau, Lewis Hamilton distracted from the F1 season in the audience) surprised nobody by finishing top of the leaderboard. Octogenerian, Buzz Aldrin (who according to Bruno 'looked like he'd left his moon boots on') was equally unsurprising at the bottom. In between was a hive-covered Shannon Doherty, who doesn't seem nearly as mean as she was back in the days of 90210. And the highlight of the night was Pamela Anderson - what was she on? She seemed to get herself into nearly every camera shot, schmoozing, cavorting and pouting her way around the set. Her dance routine needs to be seen to be believed as she shakes her hair extensions and her other ample gifts to within an inch of their lives. Bruno practically leapt over the desk to get at her as his head was filled with 'rough, dirty sex' (funny Celebritree never thought that fake boobs and all that hair would do it for Bruno...)

Anyway, this extravaganza got Celebritree thinking - the BBC needs to up its game. So, readers, who would you like to see on this year's Strictly?

Beckhams' complicated babysitting arrangements

David and Victoria were both at Heathrow Airport today - although flying in opposite directions. Victoria was looking her usual stylish self (phew! The heels are back) as she arrived in London. Not sure what she's here for, although the Beckham carbon bunion is starting to look like a carbuncle...

So, Victoria's in the UK, which means David is on his way back over to the States to babysit the lovely Beckham boys. Dad Ted got the job of lacky, carrying David's luggage - I bet he's glad he's escorting David and not his wife! Celebritree knows only too well from recent travelling experiences the weight of shoes...



Cheryl vs. Nadine: Battle for the tabloids continues

Nadine has come out today and told us all the secret to her amazingly thin legs. Apparently she is eating plenty and just running a lot in Los Angeles. I guess Celebritree isn't running far enough, fast enough or frequently enough. Tell us more about your regime Nadine - we need to get to the bottom of the secret of skinny pins!
So, Nadine thought that this revelation and an appearance on Irish TV with Boyzone in a touching tribute to Stephen Gately would knock her rival off the front pages. But Cheryl has come back with fighting talk! She has publicly knocked back Nadine's olive branch of 'the perfect duet' saying she will sing with either all or none of the other Girls Aloud and that a duet with Nadine would be 'just weird'.
And to top it all, apparently Dermot O'Leary has received a scary text message that contains a threat to Cheryl. Police are investigating. Question: Celebritree knows he presents X-Factor, but why would a scary texter make this threat to Dermot? Why not to Ashley? After all his phone number is surely in the public domain now with all the sexting he's been doing!

Cheryl news

Celebritree really doesn't know how Nadine Coyle could possibly think that Cheryl was milking her devastation over her husband's infidelity. This weekend various newspapers have reported Cheryl's 'friends' speaking out that she is keen to have a quick divorce and make a clean break and that she is still in love with Ashley and is prepared to hold on for 6 months until after the World Cup to meet his request and that Ashley is confident to win her back...
So which is it? What we do know is that Cheryl was not wearing her wedding ring on BBC's Sports Relief, but did have her hair up to expose her Mrs C tattoo. She had apparently banned Derek Hough from joining her for her performance to calm down rumours that they are having an affair (but it seems far more likely that he is just too busy on the other side of the pond with Nicole Scherzinger preparing for Dancing with the Stars).
In case everyone's fed up with hearing about her 'will they? won't they' relationship with Ashley, Cheryl has also spoken out to tell us that she would very much like cameo roles in the next Sex and the City movie and Coronation Street. The one thing that is certain is that Cheryl certainly doesn't want to give us all a break from her dramas any time soon...
Are any readers as depressed at Celebritree that Cheryl Cole has been voted 'most inspirational woman of the decade'?

A butterfly emerges


Celebritree had to do a double-take when we saw pictures of Melanie C at the Olivier Awards. Not normally known for her elegance, Mel C has opted for a Victoria Beckham dress - no dodgy tats on show in this classy number.

Dare we say it - we think she might even wear it better than the lady herself...?

Baby news

At long last! Some good news from the World of the WAGs. Carly Cole gave birth to a baby girl at London's Portland hospital (birthplace of Brooklyn Beckham, Bluebell Haliwell and Anais Gallagher) on Thursday night.

It's not all good news though - apparently they are having to rethink their planned name of Scarlet as they don't feel it suits the little tot, who is apparently the spitting image of her father.

Friday 19 March 2010

Another suitcase in another airport

Victoria Beckham is at Heathrow on her way back to her children in Los Angeles. This time, she's opted for a slightly jauntier look than earlier in the week and has seen fit to get back into heels. Of course, the omnipresent Birkin bag and big sunnies remain - Celebritree thought it was raining in London?
Apparently the Beckhams are thinking of using David's spare time to try for another baby as they would like a girl to complete their family. The race is on with Katie, who is telling all and sundry how desperate to be 'Reidonated' she is...

Paradox dressing

Britney Spears has been in the news this week after rumours emerged that she had split from her boyfriend (who also happens to be her manager). They then made a very public show of togetherness - although Britney looked a bit fed up if you ask Celebritree.

Now Britney's been out doing what Britney does best (apart from singing, dancing and eating junk food) - shopping and looking a bit of a mess. Clearly she wasn't very pleased with her outfit either, as she decided to change into her new rigout before leaving the shop, not even stopping to remove the tags.

Celebritree is wondering if Britney is sporting the ultimate in paradox dressing: thin vest on top and yet opaque tights and big boots on the bottom half. Aren't her legs and feet awfully hot? Or her arms very chilly? Let's hope this trend doesn't catch on!

During the shopping trip, Britney was spotted clutching her tummy several times. Could this mean that we can look forward to another little Spearsette or was it just a case of some trapped wind?

Painful tattoo removal

Katie has apparently had her 'Pete' tattoo covered over already with a, no doubt, tasteful pattern. Now that she's got spliced to another, Pete has finally decided to bite the bullet and have her name removed from his wedding finger. Perhaps he can give the number of his tattoo remover to Cheryl.
Why, oh why do celebrities feel the need to have other celebrities' names etched onto their skin? Shouldn't they all have learnt from Johnny Depp, who had to have his 'Winona Forever' tattoo changed to 'Wino Forever' after their forever turned out to be only 3 years?

Suri 'no shoes' Cruise

What is going on? Just a month or so ago, Celebritree was enviously eying up Suri's shoe collection, highly indignant that a 3 year old was wearing such elegant (and no doubt expensive - no sensible Clark's shoes for this little lady!) footwear. Has the public criticism finally gotten through to her mum and dad? Has Suri already blown her annual shoe budget? Or is there something more sinister afoot? Yet again, Suri is spotted without shoes...




However, Celebritree feels that Katie Price really needs to get in touch with Suri. Katie's latest business plans include a make-up range for children to be branded and fronted by Princess. Celebritree thinks that Katie could have found a big customer and potential celebrity endorser in Suri - check out that lipstick!

The Quiet Life

Katie Price appeared on ITV's This Morning today, anxious to tell the world that she is a changed woman - yes, publicity-hungry Katie would have us all believe that she wants to keep her private life private, now that she's in a "perfect relationship" with Alex.
So, mused her stunned interviewers, Philip and Holly, will this mean an end to the popular ITV show What Katie Did Next? Of course not! Katie is keeping her private life private whilst the ITV crew follow her round constantly. She also has (another) autobiography coming out, no doubt revealing her innermost secrets in cringe-inducing detail and plans for her countless autobiographies to be made into a movie (although thankfully she recognises that she's not an actress so will restrict herself to a cameo role) - can't wait!

Katie waxed lyrical about her wonderful relationship with Alex (it's so wonderful, that she even forgot his name once and referred to him as Pete), wishing that she'd met him years ago (but surely then there would be no Junior or Princess - Celebritree is SO glad she didn't!)

Apparently Alex proposed to her in September (so before she dumped him live on yet another ITV show) and Vegas was the only place they could marry so soon after her divorce.

Oh and just to prove how private she is keeping her life right now, Katie also announced that she's got her period at the moment. TMI!

Oscar's curse?

Following Monday's news that 2009 Best Actress winner, Kate Winslet, had split from her husband, the Daily Mail carried an article on the curse of the Best Actress Oscar, citing 7 of the last 10 winners whose relationships had broken up either just before or just after their most lauded moment. If today's rumours about Sandra's marriage are true, then she has just hit a new record for the Oscar curse (or maybe that should read the curse of The Daily Mail?)
Today comes the news that the London premiere of The Blind Side is cancelled as Sandra Bullock has pulled out due to "unforeseen personal reasons". Although Sandra and hubby, Jesse James looked very cosy at the Oscars, a revelation in InTouch magazine has seemingly rocked thier marriage.
The demure-looking model, Michelle McGee, said in the magazine interview that she and Jesse enjoyed a steamy liaison whilst Sandra was away busy filming for her Oscar winning role.
Having seen pictures of Jesse's previous wife, a tattoo-covered porn star, Michelle would certainly seem to be Jesse's 'type'.




Latest divorce twist

Is this a first for a celebrity divorce? Fiona Shackleton has an unusual battle on her hands as apparently neither Cheryl nor Ashley wants their joint assets, including their aptly named Hurtmore House. Ashley seems to have told every newspaper that will listen to him that his generosity knows no bounds and "Cheryl can have it all" but it seems she wants none of it, keen to move on without being saddled with reminders of her rollercoaster marriage.

I'm assuming this doesn't extend to their beloved chuahuas - surely Cheryl will want to fight for their love?

Tuesday 16 March 2010

Things ARE serious

Victoria has landed in Finland on her mercy mission to stand by her man.

But, what's this?! First she was throwing away her own style book by wearing flats on a flight. Now we find that she's landed in the same outfit that she took off from LAX in! Could Victoria be (shock! horror!) travelling light?

Girls Aloud - split rumours

How much can one woman take? Rumours abound that Cheryl Cole may be facing another split in her life - having faced down her husband, it is believed that now all is not well in the Girls Aloud camp and their "year out" may be more permanent than expected.
The stories centre on tensions between Cheryl and Nadine. It seems Nadine was not quick to comfort Cheryl when the latter took refuge in LA following the breakdown of her marriage (well, with Sinitta, Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, some chap from Dancing with the Stars and Will.i.am wading in with shoulders to cry on, Nadine's bony shoulder wouldn't stand a chance!)

Nadine has been busily beavering away in the States on her own solo career (she's apparently recorded 40 songs - Heaven help us! No wonder she's not had time to eat...) but time is running out for her to actually release and promote them, with the girls scheduled to reunite for the rest of their 3 album deal in July. Sources would have us believe that she's seething with jealousy at Cheryl's runaway chart success, although Nadine's 'friends' deny this: "Nadine tries to keep very private and believes that her success will come through her talent and not any kind of media circus which might surround someone's private life." MIAOW!

So, while Nadine and Cheryl battle it out as the superlightfeatherweights of the pop charts, what of the other members of Girls Aloud?

Sarah Harding now has a fledgling career as an actress, having nailed a demanding role in the second St Trinian's movie and BBC series Bad Day. She is well established on The Sun's celebrity caners list and has recently launched her own nightclub, Kanaloa, with her boyfriend (well, if you're going to spend your life falling out of nightclubs, might as well be your own...).

Nicola Roberts, meanwhile, is taking herself far more seriously. Smile, Nicola, please smile! She has launched her own make-up range for pale ladies and recently received critical acclaim for a BBC documentary on the dangers of tanning. She's been strutting her stuff all over London Fashion Week and has been announced as the face of Vivienne Westwood!

So, what of Kimberley Walsh? Well... She's the face of New Look!
Now, I know she doesn't demand as much press attention as the others, but, having retained a relatively normal body shape and her down-to-earth Yorkshire charm, she is certainly Celebritree's favourite member of Britain's most successful girl group.

Liz - don't panic yet. We've heard these rumours before and they do still have a 3 album deal to fulfil...
