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."

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh stops


Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh stops to ask for directions as she loses her way round central London.

Who live in London for a band and have played there on many occasions, you'd have thought that Girls Aloud would know the city like the back of their hands.
But in a big town it's easy to lose your sense of direction, as Kimberley Walsh discovered this weekend.
The girl band member looked around her in bewilderment as she left her hotel in central London this weekend.

Walsh, 29, and her assistant spent a few minutes standing around aimlessly, looking in both directions as they left the Sanderson Hotel.
Having concluded that they had no idea where they were going, it was down to a helpful local to show them the way.
Kimberley was snapped stopping to ask a restaurant owner directions, who gladly obliged.

She then laughed as she realised where she was going as she and her assistant headed off in the right direction.
Kimberley is still enjoying Girls Aloud's recent hiatus and has been trying to get into TV presenting while the other four also pursue solo projects
She was tipped to present ITV2's spin off show The Xtra Factor for its upcoming new series, but the job went to former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq.

She currently starred in a documentary on Sky 1 called Kimberley Walsh: Blue Jean Girl, which focused on the singer delving into the world of denim, after struggling to find the perfect pair of jeans her herself.
She also recently denied rumours that Girls Aloud where splitting and told Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning: 'We’ve definitely not split up, but we are enjoying trying out new things.
'It's funny because even though we are not together we are still supporting each other in our own little pathways, so it feels like you have got them with you. But no, we’ve not split up.'

Girls Aloud: At Airbrake gig


Girls Aloud the line up for this month's Harp Ice Cold Big Gig brings together some of the best home grown talent, featuring two female fronted bands that are quickly climbing to the top.
Female fronted headliners Sweet Jane, based in Dublin, have quickly become one of Ireland's most exciting and talked about rock and roll bands.
The foursome released in 2008 their debut EP ‘Blackboots & Blackhearts’ to raving reviews resulting in their 2009 signing to Reekus Records in Ireland. They have supported the likes of Glasvegas, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Kills, White Lies and more.
Second on the bill for this month’s concert on June 25 at in the Spring and Airbrake, Belfast, are Silhouette, a dark, alternative band fronted by the multi-talented Shauna Tohill, from Magherafelt.
The cutting edge group of musicians create finely crafted, heartfelt music through a mixture of cello, double bass and drums. They are appearing shortly after their return from a successful showcase in LA and ahead of their appearance at the Glasgowbury festival.
Nasa Assassin are bringing full throttle rock to this month’s line up. This enigmatic band from Lisburn, Carrickfergus and Banbridge make few appearances and surrender yet less information about their influences or history. They simply ask you allow them to be the soundtrack to your night next Friday.

'Will Be Back Next Year' Girls Aloud


Kimberley Walsh has revealed that at some point next year Girls Aloud will 'probably get back together'.
Rumours surrounding whether there would be a GA reunion have surfaced in current months, following reports that member Nadine Coyle was jealous of Cheryl Cole's solo success but Walsh insists the girls will be getting back in the studio soon.

Walsh told Star magazine: "Fingers crossed, we'll be getting back into the studio at some point - probably next year,"
"I don't actually know what direction the music will go in. We never plan any further ahead than a few months and never have. It has always been quite an organic thing."
She continued: "We never actually thought we'd end up still here, seven years down the line. God knows where we'll end up!"

Nadine Coyle too Thin !


Skinny Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle has hit back at criticism she is too thin, saying: “My big ­weakness is a good fry-up, ­chocolate and mash potatoes”.The singer rubbished claims she was underweight and said how much she enjoyed junk food and that she was “100 per cent fit and healthy”.

Charmaine Yabsley, author of How To Look Good Naked, said: “As a member of a girl band, marketing to young girls, it is important she promotes a healthy weight and lifestyle.

Girls Aloud's Cheryl Cole set for fastest-selling single of 2009?


Cheryl Cole could be heading for the fastest-selling single of the year with her debut solo effort.
'Fight For This Love' sold more on its first day available (October 19) than Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' did last Monday (October 12), according to the Official Charts Company.

The 'X Factor' winner's track is currently the fastest-selling single of the year, but it's believed Cole's track, taken from her debut solo album, '3 Words', out October 26, could break Burke's record.

Official Charts Company Managing Director Martin Talbot explained: "This will be second successive week of massive single sales – led by Cheryl. Her first day's sales are just amazing and put her in pole position to top the Official Singles Chart on Sunday. Together with Alexandra Burke, she is likely to set the sales standard by which everyone will be judged for the rest of the year, in the run-up to Christmas."

Cole performed 'Fight For This Love' on last week's 'X Factor' in front of around 13million viewers.
