“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!

Kate Middleton is Pregnant!



Hold the front pages because the story of the year is here: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have today announced that they are expecting their first baby! 

Yes, the pitter patter of royal feet will soon be gracing the halls of the royal residence. A statement from St James’ Palace read:

‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby, St James's Palace announced today’

Reports have said that the Duchess has been taken to King Edward VII hospital in London suffering from acute morning sickness and she’s expecting to stay for several days.
A statement on the couples website said that “The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news."

Yes, I’m sure prince Harry is chuffed to bits that he’s now been demoted to fourth in line to the throne as the new arrival will automatically take third spot- hard luck Harry!

And it seems is the rest of the country is also delighted with the news with celebrities including Cheryl Cole and fellow mum-to-be Rochelle Humes tweeting their excitement.

Is this is how they took the news?
Even the Prime Minister is happy with the news, tweeting: “I'm delighted by the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby.’ But nobody cares what you think, so shush!

And now the news has gone global, there will no doubt be an endless speculation of baby names. I’m thinking Beyonce if it’s a girl- no?

One thing’s for sure, K-Middy will be the new yummy mummy about town, so move over Fearne Cotton! And of course designers will be tripping over themselves to dress her now famous bump- and what better person than Sarah Burton (she designed Kate’s wedding dress- keep up!) as it’s rumoured that she has a bun in the oven as well!

No doubt the happy couple will have absolutely NO PRIVACY for months to come, what with people like me gawping at their every move! But none the less, I wish them all the very best and thanks for making this an excellent ending for what has been an amazing year for Great Britain!

Don't make Chris Brown angry, you won't like him when he's angry!



Chris Brown has never been one to hold back, and his latest Twitter spat shows he has no plans to change!

He recently partook in an abusive exchange of words with US comedienne Jenny Johnson which began when Brown tweeted a picture alongside the comment "I look old as f**k! I'm only 23..." Johnson took it upon herself to respond to this, saying "I know! Being a worthless piece of s**t can really age a person."

The ‘Don’t wake me up’ singer obviously did an ‘OH HELL NO!’ (Including the finger snap I presume) and crudely responded “Take them teeth out when u Sucking my d**k HOE” to which Johnson replied: "It's 'HO' not 'HOE' you ignorant f**k." I quite agree, spelling is important!

What followed was a series of heated exchanges between the two, which included Brown tweeting comments such as "I should fart while ur giving me top" and “mom says hello... She told me not to s**** in ur mouth, wanted me to s*** right on the retina.” Eew, and also lol.

 Johnson seemed to back down from the confrontation in the end, saying “Okay. I'm done. All I got from that exchange with Chris Brown is that he wants to s**t and fart on me."

Rihanna herself seemed to later get in on the act by later posting a picture of the comments and tweeting “How does one find the time? We gotta do better than this!!" Her response certainly adds fuel to the fire that the pair are definitely back together; and that didn’t do it, then she must’ve used a flame thrower or got Charmander on board when she posted an earlier snap of Chris brown sprawled out on her bed! That’ll get the gossips talking- ingenious RiRi!
If the two megastars are really back together, then it seems that Jenny Johnson won’t be the last person who’ll be eager to give their opinion. But if their latest duet ‘Nobody’s business’ is anything to go by, I don’t think they give two hoots!
