Girls Aloud band reunite without Nadine Coyle


Girls Aloud set to reunite without Nadine Coyle.
The other members of the chart topping girl band are Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh and Cheryl Cole haven't been in contact with Nadine in months as she works on her debut solo LP and are now prepared to get back together without her following their hiatus.
An insider said: 'It's been a painful decision for Sarah, Nicola, Kimberley and Cheryl but they have decided that the future of Girls Aloud lies without Nadine. They've all been on a rollercoaster ride since 2002 and have just grown apart from Nadine.'
Last month, Nicola admitted none of the girls had spoken to Nadine - who is recently in Los Angeles finishing off her debut solo single - since the band supported Coldplay in London last September, but she denied rumours of a feud.
The group are said to be looking forward to returning and can't wait to get to work on some new music following their self imposed break so each member could pursue their own individual projects.
The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: 'The four remaining girls want to return on their own terms and avoiding any squabbles is a high priority. That's why they have decided to go on without Nadine.'

Cheryl Cole Still 'Drifts In and Out of Consciousness'


The Girls Aloud singer 'was literally only hours from death's door' in her battle with malaria, a source testifies.

Cheryl Cole British pop star was reportedly "hours from death" in her battle with malaria and is still drifting in and out of consciousness, a week after her diagnosis.

She is believed to have contracted the mosquito borne illness during a trip to Tanzania last month. She was treated in the specialist unit for tropical diseases, where her condition was said to be "a lot more serious" than doctors initially thought and an insider tells Britain's News of the World that Cole almost died after she was rushed into expert care. A source tells the publication, "It got so bad she was literally only hours from death's door. Thank goodness she was diagnosed in time." "Even now she can't talk. She drifts in and out of consciousness and when she comes round all she can do is sob. There was no news coming out of the hospital because it was all so touch and go. We couldn't give any assurances to fans because there weren't any to give." "The fact is, we came close to losing someone very particular. She can't even speak at the moment and doesn't know what's happening to her. All she can do is sob. It's terrifying." The singer, who turned 27 on June 30, has been moved out of the hospital's intensive care unit but is still facing tough times. The insider adds, "She's not out of the woods yet. We nearly lost her and the battle is far from over. She is so weak and this horrible illness has taken complete hold of her.. there's no end in sight. It's still a very serious situation and she's actually going to have to battle."

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, 28, on Botox and her muffin top


HAIR
"My hair colour is naturally mousey brown. I dye it blonde, so I use Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner, from £10 each, to stop it drying out. I love experimenting with different wigs when I'm on tour with Girls Aloud, and I'm thinking about going dark at the moment."
LIPS
"Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, £13, is a great all rounder. It keeps my lips moisturised and shiny. Christian Dior does actually good, natural lipglosses, and sometimes I'll mix them up with a Mac lipstick or liner."
SKIN
"With my bright blonde hair, I can look actually washed out if I don't have a tan, so I always use St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan for Face And Body, £13. I love having tanned, smooth legs, and Veet Suprem' Essence Spray On Hair Removal Cream, £4.23, is actually effective."
FACE
I'm not going to say if I've had Botox
"When I wear make up on stage, it's like I'm wearing a mask: I feel confident. I'm not going to say if I've had Botox or not but I can still frown and my lines move. Age gets the better of us all at some point."
EYES
"I like my eyes. I can look feisty with make up or innocent without. I use La Prairie Cellular Radiance Eye Cream, £186, morning and night, and I keep my lashes looking big with Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara, £6.99."
BODY
"I've not been on stage dancing so much in the last year, so I've got my curves back. I hate my muffin top - it spills over jeans - so I've started Pilates to tone up. I get cellulite too, but body-brushing helps - I do it every day before I shower."
