Bride Wars

We all know that there is no love lost between Nadine Coyle and the other members of the band formally known as Girls Aloud. Now, Nads has been snubbed again as Sarah Harding prepares for her big engagement party at Mahiki. Apparently Nadine has been left off the guest list for the Treasure Island themed night.
Still, apparently Nadine is keen for revenge. She was (allegedly) hoping that a big celeb wedding would revitalise her flagging solo career, and is supposedly not keen on the fact that another GA member is threatening to steal a bit of her limelight. So, the plan is for a huge bash, to ensure her wedding tops any others that might be coming up. Mind you, Nadine, you need to tread carefully - if you want that 7 figure magazine deal, you had better make sure you've still got some celeb friends to invite!

Another Celeb Wedding

Although a festive romantic break in the Indian Ocean didn't seem to do the trick for her former bessie mate, Katie Price, and her husband, Alex Reid, it certainly proved a winner for Sarah Harding, whose boyfriend, Dan Crane, proposed to her on New Year's Day. The two are obviously thrilled as they sealed their love by telling the world how made up they are on Twitter. Hmm, really adds to the romance, your partner down on one knee, a diamond solitaire ring on your finger, a "yes" and then "wait, let me get my phone, I must quickly tweet all my friends, family and fans..."
So that's two Girls Aloud weddings to look forward to in 2011 - Nadine and Sarah. Who will the bridesmaids be? Presumably Katie won't be returning the favour for Sarah now that the two are no longer so close (Sarah was bridesmaid at Katie's wedding to Pete, though didn't make the cut for the Reid-Price blessing extravaganza) - although Celebritree would pay good money to see a peach taffeta face off between Katie, Cheryl and Nicola in OK! magazine...

They're lining up to knock the nation's sweetheart...

Any regular X Factor viewers will probably have heard Cheryl laying into Wagner on last night's show, after he said in a newspaper interview that she was just "a girl from a council estate who got lucky".
However, it seems the crazy Brazilian isn't the only one anxious to badmouth Chezza. It has emerged that designer, Julien McDonald, came up to Cheryl at Sarah Harding's Halloween party and told her that her red hair looked "s**t" before calling her a chav. Cheryl didn't take this lying down screeching, "f**k you! Didn't you hear me? I said f**k you!" thereby revealing her class, before her knight in shining armour, random celeb, Will Mellor, stepped in to defend her honour. She then hit the dance floor to indulge in some provocative dance routines with Nicola from Girls Aloud. (Celebritree imagines that Will Mellor was disappointed not to be involved in that!)
Nobody really knows what got Julien's goat - he used to dress Cheryl (I.e. Provide her with fancy frocks to wear, rather than helping her squeeze into bandage leggings and the like) but it seems pretty unlikely she'll be stepping out in any of his gear again...

Girls Aloud - rapprochement?

Girls Aloud (minus Nadine - of course - she has slunk back to the States following the 'success' of her single) were out in force at the Mirror's Pride of Britain awards last night. Although Nadine was out of the picture, Girls Aloud fans will be pleased to hear that she has at last spoken to one of her bandmates. After seeing all of the other girls together on X Factor, Nadine held out an olive branch to Cheryl and the two got together at Chezza's house to have a good old chinwag and clear the air. However, it seems Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley couldn't make the peace talks. Still maybe there's hope of a reunion yet...

Girls Aloud - remain estranged?

As Cheryl suns herself in California, picking up a transatlantic accent (allegedly - though hard to imagine Geordie with an American twang), Nadine is heading back Stateside, having laid down the tracks for her solo album (at last - after all that talk, there's finally some action!)
Nadine said goodbye to some bloke on her own doorstep (he was wearing a towelling robe and in her house, so obviously a story there), then headed to Heathrow, showing off her very slim legs in some shiny leggings. It's been a bit of a fleeting trip back to London - just under a week - and was doubtless very busy, with all those amazing tracks to record. Still, you would think Nads might have found time to catch up with old friends - like her ex-bandmates. The perfect opportunity might have been the launch of Nicola's make-up collection at the Mandarin Oriental, where Sarah, Kimberley and Nicola looked thick as thieves. Celebritree wonders: would you buy make-up from this woman?

And then there were four...

Rumours are rife that Girls Aloud ARE set to reform, but as a foursome! And guess who's out in the cold - yep, the papers are suggesting that Nadine could be given the elbow. Their publicists deny it, as does Nadine, who says that they are just enjoying time on their own, while they're still young. She says, "everyone wants to do their own thing - Sarah with the acting, or whatever they're doing". Hmm, if you ever are interested in what your former bandmates are doing, Nadine, try picking up a paper or magazine or even reading Celebritree...
On the subject of which, the nation's sweetheart has finally been seen out and about, as she popped down to her local Starbuck's for a coffee. Apparently, she's got two round the clock nurses in the form of mum, Joan, and Derek Hough - although rumours that Dezza and Chezza are engaged are likely to be wide of the mark, in Celebritree's opinion! Still, good to see Cheryl out and about.

Girls Aloud are quiet

Well, apart from the never-ending drama surrounding Cheryl's health and love-life, Girls Aloud have been very quiet of late. There's certainly no sign of their much longed-for reunion! Anyway, Sarah Harding has been out and about showing off a particularly dodgy new hairdon't. Sarah's decided to add an interesting pink tint to her usual bleached locks. Aside from the colour, doesn't look like it's done the condition much good, but still, Sarah looks pleased with it - and that's what matters, Celebritree supposes.

Carry on in Cannes

Cheryl Cole's £250,000 performance in Cannes went down a storm on Tuesday night. Will.i.am, was doing a DJ set at the same party and the two celebrated with a kiss and a dance after their respective performances. Apparently the pair will be reunited at a party on a private yacht on Friday night and Cheryl will again be supporting the Black Eyed Peas in Barcelona in July. Rumour has it that Will.i.am has arranged for he and his 'close friend' Cheryl to share a dressing room.

Whilst clearly this new friendship is showing lots of promise, Celebritree thinks Cheryl might need to nurture some older friendships. It seems Sarah Harding, also in Cannes, didn't attend her bandmate's performance, preferring to hang out at Grace Jones's 62nd birthday party. Celebritree was somewhat surprised to learn that Sarah and Grace were clearly such big buddies...

Katie's Kids Model Mum's Latest "collection"

Katie Price has employed her two youngest children, Junior and Princess, as models for her latest collection of equestrian gear. She has certainly taught them a thing or two about posing and pouting as the pair appear to be real naturals in front of the cameras. Celebritree has one question though: where's Harvey?
We're still waiting to find out what Pete thinks of Katie exploiting his children, though I'm sure he's saving his views for a heartfelt piece in his New magazine column.

Meanwhile, one of Katie's bridesmaids, Kerry Katona, has declared herself well and truly in "team Pete" blaming Katie's behaviour for the breakdown of her marriage to Pete (if there's one person on this earth Katie doesn't need advice from, it's probably Kezza). Kerry has recently signed to the same management as Pete and the two seem to have been using the tabloids to show their mutual admiration for each other's impressive talents.

Kerry is not the first of Katie's bridesmaids to fall out with her: indeed Sarah Harding no longer speaks to the star; Kerry and Katie had a spat over Kerry's ex, Mark Croft; Michelle Clack and Katie had a huge row after Katie accused her friend of having an affair with Pete; only Michelle Heaton hanging on in there now...

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...

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...
