Girls Aloud To Return Without Nadine Coyle

As reported back in March on this blog, it seems Girls Aloud will return in 2011 without Irish singer Nadine Coyle. The Sun reports that the other four girls are set to return and work on new material and begin touring again.

The newspaper reports a source as saying, "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 roller-coaster ride since 2002 and have just grown apart from Nadine.

"Relations with her had been strained within the camp for a while.

"Disputes began cropping up towards the final days of the band before they went on a hiatus.

"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."

Nadine Coyle has spent most of her time in America with boyfriend Jesse Metcalfe and has been working on her own solo material, and has opened her own bar near Los Angeles. Nadine angered the other Girls Aloud members when she refused to take part in the girls' 2008 TV series The Passions Of Girls Aloud. Watch this space for more news...................

Nadine To Leave Girls Aloud?

Girls Aloud are on the brink of becoming a four piece group as it looks like Nadine Coyle could be leaving as reports in the weekend press suggest. The Irish singer has been spending most of her time in America setting up her solo career and has hardly been in contact with the other members of Girls Aloud.

According to the News of the World - Sarah Harding, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and even Cheryl Cole are all eager to get back into the studio at the end of the year to record a new Girls Aloud album. The girls have recently signed a new three album deal yet Nadine is less than enthusiastic about working with her band mates. Apparently Nadine has no plans to work with Girls Aloud for the rest of 2010 but the other girls are seriously considering continuing without her.

A week earlier the same newspaper reported that Nadine Coyle HAD been in contact with all four band members.

PICTURES: Nicola Roberts Drunk

Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts has been pictured in the press today looking rather drunk, as these pictures show. But Nicola had a good reason - it was New Years Eve and the majority of the country had consumed a drink or twenty, so why shouldn't she? It's not the first time the press have captured Nicola Roberts enjoying a night out, as previously seen HERE.

Nicola Roberts is 24 and was out celebrating New Year’s Eve with boyfriend Charlie Fennell when Magic Moments took the pictures at Gilgamesh in Camden, London. Most girls her age would have been doing the same so it's wrong of the press to knock her for having a good time. Let's face it, Nicola and the rest of Girls Aloud have earned a good night out after working so hard in 2009.


Sarah Harding looked lush in a classic black dress as she enjoyed New Year celebrations in Camden and seems to be losing her image as the drunken one in Girls Aloud.

Nadine Coyle Forgets Her Bra

The Girls Aloud singer turned heads as she arrived at the Kings of Leon gig in Los Angeles wearing a see through black top without a bra. The 23 year old is about to launch her solo career that the press have billed as a head to head battle with Cheryl Cole.

Nadine has been capturing the attention of record labels over in the States and has no shortage of offers. While it seems she may be short on bra's, Coyle knows how to work the media as she arrived at the LA Forum on Saturday night with her American footballer boyfriend Jason Bell.

PICTURES: Nicola Roberts Drunk

Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud likes to let her hair down once in a while and enjoy a good night out, sadly the press are always one click away as these pictures taken by Rex/ Matrixphotos/ Magic Moments show. Nicola was out on the town at London's Gilgamesh Bar with friends enjoying the V.I.P treatment, she had to be coxed down from the furniture after having a few too many. Later she had to rescue the same man when he tripped over at the end of the night.

Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding was also in attendance and looked as stunning as ever, joining Nicola Roberts for a few drinks inside the bar and restaurant as it celebrated it's third birthday. The pictures still better than the ones captured last October where Nicola Roberts nipple was seen in one of the pictures. (Nicola Roberts birthday pictures: HERE)

Girls Aloud Singer Weighs Food Then Sends It Back!

Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle shocked diners at posh London restaurant, The Ivy as she weighed her food then ordered the rest to be taken away.
According to The Sun newspaper, Nadine ordered a plain fish from the waiter and then produced a pair of digital scales from her bag.

It seems Nadine has come along way from her humble beginnings as a winner on the reality programme Popstars: The Rivals. One onlooker said she looked as if, "it was the most normal thing in the world."

Concerns have been growing over the weight loss within Girls Aloud as we reported last month in our Skinny Sarah Harding story.

Fears For 'Skinny' Sarah Harding

Concerns are growing for Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud as she continues to lose weight. The 27 year-old was captured on camera by Alan Chapman (seen below) and is a far cry from the healthier fuller figure seen on the left.

Sarah Harding is currently on tour with Girls Aloud as they go 'Out Of Control' around the UK, but questions have been raised as the chart topping blonde bombshell looks gaunt and frail in recent public appearances. She may have sung the words, 'No Good Advice' yet now Sarah could do with heeding some good advice and eating a good meal or two! Once the face of Ultimo underwear - Harding had the figure women would die for and men lust over, could the touring have taken it's toll finally?

Her DJ boyfriend, Tom Crane has come to Sarah's defence saying, "It doesn't bother her but it's not fair because she eats well and if she's hungry, she will eat. She works it off from dancing and exercising, that's why, plus she has a good metabolism." The couple are planning on getting married as reported HERE.

Meanwhile, Sarah Harding could be heading to America for more acting work once the Girls Aloud tour finishes on June 6th. Top talent agency are apparently interested in setting up some work for Sarah, having been impressed with her acting in the upcoming BBC drama 'Freefall'.

Girls Aloud 'Untouchable' Set To Flop?

Girls Aloud look set to miss the Top 10 singles chart for the first time ever, according to midweek chart predictions. The new single 'Untouchable' becomes Girls Aloud twenty first UK single as they embark on their 'Out of Control' UK tour, denying reports about splitting up.

The single currently sits just outside the Top 10 in the latest midweek chart but still has a chance of making the Top 10 by Sunday if the public get behind Girls Aloud. Polydor need not worry if 'Untouchable' fails to make the Top 10, as the album 'Out of Control' topped the charts back in November.

Girls Aloud Going Solo?

It's official, Girls Aloud are to pursue solo projects according to their spokesman and rumoured on websites like this for months. Once the current 'Out of Control' tour ends, solo projects will begin in earnest.

Cheryl Cole has had several offers from various music producers with her spokesman saying, "Cheryl is going to work on some solo music - there is no release date set for this yet as she has not recorded any music." Sarah Harding has already been building up her acting roles with a part in the BBC Two drama Freefall. Nadine spends a lot of her time in America where she has set up side projects and moved her family out there.

Split rumours have always been denied by Girls Aloud and they have signed up for another three albums with Polydor with the first of those albums set for release late 2010.

Cheryl Tweedy

Cheryl Ann Cole (née Tweedy, born 30 June 1983) is a British singer and member of the band Girls Aloud. As part of Girls Aloud and as a featuring artist, Cole has had 21 UK Top Ten singles.
