NICOLA’S PREACHING… AGAIN

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts is back on her crusade against sun-tanning. This time she’s made a documentary for BBC3 in the UK titled “What Would You Do To Get a Tan?” and has posed for some digitally manipulated photos to show the damage excessive tanning can do to the skin.

To be honest though we’ve had enough of Nicola’s whining. We get that she has blue skin and isn’t capable of tanning, but is that really any reason for her to go bleating on about the dangers? Would she have such an issue with tanning if she had lovely olive skin? We don’t think so.

Come on Nicola, enough of the jealousy. You can’t tan – deal with it. It’s really no reason to go trying to put the rest of us off our safe, moderate tanning (Vitamin D and all that!).

SARAH HARDING TURNS CLUB ENTREPRENEUR

Sarah Harding, Girls Aloud member leaves the launch party of her new night club Kanaloa

Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding has given up on trying to make it onto Rumer’s Rankings (Z-list is the lowest we go) and so now she’s trying to infiltrate our site by opening Kanaloa, a London nightclub that she hopes will make it onto Rumer Recommends. Last night was the launch party and judging by the complete lack of desirable celebs in attendance, there is very little chance of that happening either.

Her ‘celebrity’ guests included JLS (fame-whores), the Sugababes (did someone mention free booze?), Holly Valance (how’s that Hollywood career coming along Holly?) and pensioner Cilla Black (really Sarah!?). From what we heard not even her bandmates showed up, which is a bit of a poor show considering the support they gave Cheryl Cole leading up to her X Factor performance.

Sarah should be particularly mortified as the opening of her club comes just weeks after the re-opening of London hotspot China White. Their launch party was bursting at the seams with top celebs including Noel Gallacher, Princess Beatrice, Chelsy Davy, Holly and Sam Branson, Jo Woods and Natalie Imbruglia.

Now pay attention Sarah – here comes the science bit. RumerMills is about reporting on the cream of the celebrity world, and Rumer Recommends is where we divulge details of the fabulous venues that they frequent. Get back to us when your dingy club manages to attract a celebrity worth writing about, or alternatively when hell freezes over (which in all likelihood will be sooner).

GHASTLIEST DRESS OF THE YEAR MAKES SECOND APPEARANCE

MTV Europe Music Awards 2009 - Show

cheryl

We never thought we’d see this monstrosity again and so you can imagine how shocked we were to see Beyonce at the MTV Europe Awards wearing the $2,000 David Koma dress that Cheryl Cole wore on Saturday night’s X Factor (well a slightly different but very similar version of it).

We have to admit it looks FAR better on Beyonce, particularly as she left off the horrendous fur collar that Cheryl tried to glam it up with. It also helped that Beyonce fills the dress whereas Cheryl looked like a drowned rat.

See our reaction to Cheryl wearing the dress here.

CHERYL’S FROCKY HORROR SHOW

cheryl

Was Cheryl Cole sniffing glue before last night’s X Factor? Either that or she got dressed in the dark, what an absolute DISASTER of an outfit. This woman reportedly spends $300,000 a year on fashion and styling, so how on Earth did she end up in this!?

Dear Cheryl – GET A STYLIST!

ANOTHER FASHION DISASTER FROM NICOLA

Nicola Roberts, Girls Aloud member, steps out of the Mayfair Hotel wearing a hair matching brown tweed suit

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts paid tribute to the Fantastic Mr Fox last night as she stepped out of the Mayfair Hotel in London. What a truly AWFUL outfit! Every time we see Nicola we think her style couldn’t possibly get any more horrendous, but somehow she manages to look progressively worse with each new look. You’d think Mrs Cole would step in at some point and offer some advice!

SACK THE A&R

nadine

The world of pop music is a truly strange one, and it doesn’t get much more bizarre than this. While Girls Aloud’s least talented member Cheryl Cole heads for a massive no. 1 hit with the cool and credible Fight for this Love, its most talented member Nadine Coyle decided to record a super cheesy cover of Take That’s classic Back for Good with one of the naffest bands of the 90’s, Boyz II Men. How the tables have turned! Poor Nadine clearly thought she could skip the step of conquering her home territory before launching her solo assault on the US charts, and we agree that teaming up with a US group would be a pretty good way of achieving this… IF the group had had a hit in the US in the past 10 years!

We have to wonder how many credible US bands didn’t return her frantic calls before she finally got to the bottom of her list and found Boyz II Men as the only option…

Update: While the song doesn’t get any less cheesy or embarrasing on the second or third listen, we are (very) secretly starting to like it. We even found ourselves daydreaming about what a lovely Xmas hit it might make if they beefed up the production and added some jingle bells… Maybe a snowy video showing Nadine frolicking with the Boyz in a Santa hat…

Listen here and let us know what you think.

What do YOU think of Nadine's latest career choice?

CHERYL TRIES (AND FAILS) TO OUTWIT THOSE PESKY PAPARAZZI

Cheryl & Ashley

It has been reported that Cheryl Cole sought planning permission to build an underground swimming pool and gym complex at her $6m home in Surrey to prevent her and footballer hubby Ashley being photographed in “intimate episodes” by paparazzi flying aircraft overhead. While we have to give Cheryl credit for remarkably high sales of her debut single (which has unbelievably sold 210,000 copies in just 4 days), we would like to remind her that they are “Cheryl and Ashley Cole” and not quite the Jolie-Pitts. While a picture of her in a bikini would probably be of moderate interest to the UK paparazzi, we doubt that they are about to start launching aircraft to get the shot!

CHERYL ON COURSE FOR THE FASTEST SELLING SINGLE OF THE YEAR

Cheryl

As predicted by us after her MUCH better than expected X Factor performance, Cheryl Cole is set to storm in at number 1 in the UK charts this week with her debut single “Fight for this Love”. We’re hearing that her first day’s sales figures are absolutely massive and the prediction is that she’ll sell over 200,000 units by the end of the week. While Alexandra Burke achieved the fastest selling single of 2009 last week with “Bad Boys”, she didn’t quite break the 200,000 mark and so it’s looking very likely that Cheryl will snatch this honor from her.

We’re sure Alexandra will be tearing her hair out in a fit of rage delighted for her friend and mentor!

Sure Fire Number 1

We’re rarely wrong at RumerMills, but when we are then we’re happy to admit it. Cheryl Cole’s performance on X Factor this week was outstanding and will surely send the single rocketing to number 1 in the UK this week. May we be the first to say congratulations Cheryl!

Cheryl

CTC doing her best Michael Jackson impression as she stepped out in London yesterday. We can’t wait for her performance on the X Factor and hope that the public outcry will shame her into singing live – potentially the most entertaining moment of the year (but for all the wrong reasons). It’s not that we’re implying she’s tone deaf… have a listen to this blast from the past and judge for yourself. A perfect demonstration of her complete inability to sing or dance pure raw talent.

Too funny!
