Lauren and Mark at War!

Things turn ugly for the former lovers as Mark posts a scathing Twitter rant aimed at his ex

Lauren and Mark in the golden (orange) years

Just when we thought the drama between Lauren Goodger and her ex Mark Wright was over, what with him recently getting married to former Corrie babe Michelle Keegan, a new scandal has reared its ugly head! In the last few days, there’s been so much drama surrounding these two that we can barely keep up!

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, ex TOWIE star Mark posted a series of tweets bashing Lauren for constantly using his name to make money, he wrote:

'Endless mentions RE: me and us is embarrassing. I really thought after lawyers being involved and polite pleas to stop mentioning me she... 

'Would stop. Maybe not. It's hurtful to think one person needs to mention YOU every week to earn a living. Being married to another women 

'Almost makes it unfair !! If your reading this, please PLEASE respect my wife and STOP. Everyone has a past, get over it !! I really didn't 

'Want to have to do this but enough is enough. I wish you well but leave me, my life and my wife out of it. Im sure there is other ways to make money.' [sic]

Mark's explosive Twitter rant

Ouch, that’s gotta hurt! It seems that Mark has finally reached the end of his tether following recent events that saw Lauren holiday in Dubai­- the same place he is on honeymoon with Michelle! This also follows the seemingly bitter Instagram post Lauren put up the day before Mark and Michelle’s fairytale wedding.

Not one to take it lying down, Lauren’s team were quick to jump to her defence and posted a response blaming the media for continually fabricating lies about Lauren. The statement read:

Mark is right - this situation is incredibly embarrassing.

'Week after week Lauren has to suffer endless source story lies printed about her in the press surrounding Mark. 

'The list is as long as it is ridiculous. It's hurtful for Lauren to constantly be painted in this way and for readers to actually believe it. 

'That is why Lauren has taken to her own column in the past to defend herself against ludicrous claims such as the one that said she was going to gate crash the wedding. 

'Anyone facing such embarrassing lies week in and week out is of course going to want to defend themselves.'

'Lauren has privately been in a relationship too and this unwanted attention surrounding her ex of many years ago is certainly not welcomed. 

'We would like to clarify that Lauren is paid the same weekly fee for her column every week whether it mentions Mark or not, and she has given no other interviews on him - despite the numerous offers. She once again wishes them nothing but the best.' 

Mark and his new wife Michelle

And to back up the statement’s claim that she is seeing someone, Lauren today posted a pic of her ex boyfriend Jake McLean confirming the are back together.

Phew! It’s becoming increasingly frosty between the former couple who were on and off more times than Ross and Rachael! Whether or not Lauren intentionally went to Dubai whilst Mark was there or posted the Instagram message about her ex, it seems that now is the time for the pair of them to truly move on. But the way things are going, thats unlikely to happen any time soon- so watch this space!

“Welcome to the wifey club”: Frankie Sandford and Wayne Bridge are engaged!

The Saturdays star announces her engagement on Twitter and Instagram by posting a pic of her with a giant sparkler on her finger!

OMG, I'm like totally engaged!

It’s soon to be marriage number three for girl group The Saturdays as it’s just been announced today that Frankie is set to wed her footballer beau Wayne Bridge.

The sexy singer revealed the news, by following the latest celeb trend by posting a picture on her social media pages- Millie from made in Chelsea recently did this, I bet she’s fuming that Frankie stole her posh thunder!

On her Twitter and Instagram accounts, Frankie posts a pic of her showing off the huge iceberg ring (and pretty pink nails!) with her new fiancé kissing her on the cheek- aaw!

The rest of the Saturdays have tweeted their delight at the exciting news. 

Una tweeted:  "So Happy for @FrankieTheSats and Wayne who have recently got engaged X"
Whilst Rochelle then congratulated the pair, saying: "Big congratulations to @FrankieTheSats and Wayney. He did so well :-) and the ring is to die for in the flesh. Welcome to the wifey club xxx"
Vanessa then added: "Congrats @FrankieTheSats & Wayne! So happy for you guys. Woooooo xxx"

The girls official site also had kind words to say: "LOTS AND LOTS of love and best wishes to our @FrankieTheSats and Wayne!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together! xoxo"

The former S Club Juniors member (pretty sure she loves to be reminded of this) will become the third bride in the group after her fellow band members Una Healy and Rochelle Humes got married last year.  

The happy couple

And with both girls a new mum and a mum-to-be, will there be a tiny pitter patter of feet coming for Frankie and Wayne soon?  Who knows.

One thing’s for sure, Mollie and Vanessa better hurry up and announce some good news quick, otherwise they’ll feel all left out and a tad jealous (although probably not of Wayne Bridge, more of that that chandelier Franks calls a ring)

How about Mollie announces that she’s getting a new micro pig or Vanessa tweets that she found a tenner on the floor at Waitrose? Now that’s one way to make the headlines!

The BRITS are the PITS!

Watching the BRIT Awards last week, I can only draw one conclusion: it’s the pits!

Long gone are the days where the awards were a wild drunken affair where pop stars and rock stars alike really let their hair down and actually had a GOOD TIME! Last week’s awards ceremony seemed drab, boring and far too sensible. 

It’s quite obvious that the producers wanted everything to be perfect and after last year’s ‘Adele-gate’ where host James Cordon cut off the star halfway through her acceptance speech, it’s clear that they were trying too hard. So hard in fact that they did the final acceptance speech BEFORE the ad break, so the closing act (this year Emeli Sande- yes, her AGAIN!), would have the whole of the final section to perform. However, in their desperate attempt to stay on the right side of PC, the makers of the BRITS has lost the whole essence of the show and misplaced that certain something that has previously made the BRITS one of the most anticipated events in British music.

 What happened to the days of yesteryear when Britpop giants Oasis and Blur went head-to-head or where a drunken Jarvis Cocker attempted to ruin Michael Jackson’s performance or Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood presented a shambolic show where auto cues and microphones proved to be catalysts for disaster? Yes, these are eyebrow-raising events but they are MEMORABLE events that will go down in the BRIT awards HISTORY! What did we have to remember from this year? One Direction proving that they have amazing talent... at murdering two songs in one go! Or what about those good but safe performances by Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard and even Justin Timberlake. All great artists, but seriously- YAWN!!  The most exciting thing part was when Taylor Swift ripped off her wedding dress and revealed a sexy black outfit underneath whilst performing her really catchy tune I knew you were trouble. This moved was no doubt to show ex boyfriend/song inspiration Harry Styles what he’s missing. 

 

But seriously, if the BRITS don’t want to go down the same way as the MOBO’S (I mean, who still watches that?) then they have to pull their dull, grey socks up! Loosen up and let the BRITS be the fun, unpredictable night it once was. Let it not all be about the ‘suits’ making stupid ‘executive decisions’ but allow it to be about the MUSIC and the all important FANS. Otherwise it’ll be all over as fast as you can say “ratings flop”- I kid you not!

Scouse Spice anyone?

You know that situation where an old clingy friend keeps inviting you for a ‘catch-up’ even though it’s the last thing you want to do? Well that’s probably how Victoria Beckham feels about the rumoured Spice Girls reunion. After looking more awkward than Caroline Flack at a One Direction concert at last week’s premiere for the Viva Forever musical, Victoria probably can't wait to say goodbyeeee myyyy frieeend to the rest of the girls- you see what I did there!

Anyways, lucky for her the rest of the Spice Girls have seemingly got the message and have apparently pushed ahead for a new album and tour without the moody one sulking in the corner. 

But, instead of reforming as a four piece a la Take That, it seems that they want to replace Victoria all together and either hold auditions in a televised talent search or simply replace her with someone already in the industry. What?! Don’t they remember Hearsay’s disastrous attempt to continue with some bloke called Johnny Shentall after Michelle from Corrie left?

As if the idea isn’t bonkers enough already, the word on the grapevine is that Sugababes star Heidi Range has been scouted as a possible replacement for Posh! Say whaaat!

Now I’m sure Heidi is a nice girl and all, but if she does this she’ll just be known as the girl who replaces people in bands, having formerly left Atomic Kitten to be in the Sugababes after the eternally scowling Mutya Buena left. And what will she be known as if this ludicrous idea does go ahead? Scouse spice? Replacement spice? They couldn’t get Johnny Shentall, so they got me instead spice?

And what will become of the Sugababes if she leaves? They’ve already had more line-up changes than Taylor Swift’s had boyfriends (ok, not quite!). They’ll probably end up where all the other forgotten pop stars go- to the I’m a celebrity...get me out of here jungle of course! Limahl anyone?

Look, the solution is simple. If the Spice Girls really want to carry on milking, I mean performing as a band then all they have to do is get a cardboard cut-out of Posh and plonk her on the stage. After all, she barely sings and dances as it is so no one will tell the difference- problem solved!
