GIRLS ALOUD are hitting the road next year for their first ever tour.

NADINE COYLE, SARAH HARDING, NICOLA ROBERTS, KIMBERLEY WALSH and CHERYL TWEEDY will be performing 17 dates.

It’s called the What Will The Neighbours Say? Tour 2005. Kimberley told me: “We’ve been itching to do this for a long time.

“But we decided to wait until we had two albums worth of songs to perform before we took to the stage. “The time is right for us to give the fans a show they deserve. We’re so excited.”

And here are the dates:

4/5 Nottingham Royal Concert Hall
5/5 Brighton Centre
7/5 Plymouth Pavillions
8/5 Cardiff International Arena
9/5 Oxford Apollo
11/5 Blackpool Opera House
13/5 Glasgow Auditorium
14/5 Edinburgh Playhouse
16/5 Newcastle City Hall
19/5 Manchester Apollo
20/5 Sheffield Hallam FM Arena
21/5 Birmingham NIA
23/5 Bristol Colston Hall
24/5 Portsmouth Guildhall
25/5 Ipswich Regent
27/5 Liverpool Empire
28/5 Hammersmith Apollo

Tickets are £21 except at Hammersmith Appollo, where they cost £22.50.

They were spotted stumbling out of London’s Pangea nightclub in the early hours of Saturday – but their tummies were still as flat as washboards so I guess the bender wasn’t on beer.

Sarah was the most hammered. By the time she got into a cab her eyes were pointing in different directions.

All the pics at http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2004422560,00.html. http://www.thesun.co.uk/popupWindow/0,,2004422605,00.html shows the full length shot of Kim and Cheryl - Kim's looking GORGEOUS - as usual! How fantastic do her legs look?!

Kimberley, her sister Sally and Nadine have been snapped, a little merrier than usual, leaving a nightclub and getting into a taxi. Big deal, I hear you say. Well, yes, except the excitement comes from the fact that Kim and Nadine are wearing rather short skirts and have not managed to escape flashing a little underwear at the camera. (It may not be a groundbreaking news story but the pics are quite nice.)

From the paper that can't stop writing stories about the Pouty Goddess - whether true or not!

Lusty Lemar, had a ball chatting up Girls Aloud babe Kimberley Walsh at a recent event. An onlooker at TFM live in Stockton said, "It was so sweet to see. They were giggling & flirting, & there was definately chemistry there!." So, watch this space.

Kimberley Walsh's pillow-esque lips are so sexy she's having to fight off men and women who want a snog. The Girls Aloud fave said, "We did a signing at G.A.Y and this girl was going on about my lips. I love you, she said, I love your lips. I was like - woah! I used to be paranoid about the size of my lips, but not anymore."

Girls aloud are set for a top 5 entry this week, with the first single off their second album, "The Show". After their chart topping debut "Sound of the underground" Kimberley admits the Popstars the Rivals winners worry about their own chart future. She said, "unless you get top 3 with your first singles, then that's it. It's not fair, as it's too much to expect from people when they've not got that much profile. We had a big profile from the tv programme, but when your a new band starting out you don't have that. You've got to make the most of what you've got. Be grateful when you have got the chance to make another album. I think people have bought into us more than others because of the music more than anything. I'm a little bit scared, but I'm glad that everything seems to be going well with our single."

The Girls Aloud star is single again after splitting from boyfriend of four years, Stockport County midfielder Martin Pemberton. The former Trinity & All Saints College student has confessed that she's on the lookout for a new beau – but says personality is more important than looks.

The 22-year-old, from Allerton in Bradford, said: "I want to find someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around, so it's more about personality.

"He would have to be quiet but con'fid'ent and have some intrigue about him. I don't like guys who give everything away."

Kimberley said work commitments had played a major part in the decision to call it a day with Martin.

"We hardly saw each other to be fair. We were both really busy with work and that meant when we saw each other we took it out on each other.

"We thought it best to cut our losses and go our separate ways. We are still on speaking terms."

Kimberley was also keen to pour cold water on recent press speculation claiming she had undergone cosmetic surgery to put collagen implants in her lips.

"That is just untrue," she said. "I would never consider cosmetic surgery. I'm not comfortable with the idea of going under the knife. It scares me."

Kimberley and her fellow bandmates are now preparing for the release of their new single, The Show, which is released next week (28 June).

The band will be performing in West Yorkshire next month as a support act for Blue at the McAlpine Stadium in Huddersfield on Saturday, July 31.

"I am dying to see my friends and family as I haven't been up North for ages," she said. "So hopefully I can get home after the concert."

Congratulations to Kimberley and the girls who picked up an award last night for Top Band. There is an amazing picture of them in the Sun newspaper. Kimberley looks incredibly sexy - cleavage galore.

More hype, this time from the CD UK site:

"GIRLS ALOUD: The Show

How long can you hold your breath? A few seconds? A minute? An Hour? (what? are you a fish or something?!?)

Well we've been holding our breath for six entire months now. It's why we write such nonsense- cos absolutely no oxygen has reached our brains for quite some time! And why have we been holding our breath? Good question. Glad you asked. We've been holding our breath because we've been missing Girls Aloud. Frankly, without The Loud in our lives, petty things like air and oxygen and breathing just seem...well, pointless. We also haven't tied our shoelaces or combed our hair. Our houses are a mess, Our dogs need walking. And our pants are really beginning to whiff. But, as of next Saturday, that's all going to change, because the girls will be BACK! Back and live and absolutely exclusive on CDUK, performing their astonishingly ace new single, 'The Show'. Finally, our lives can pick up where we so stinkily let them drop six months ago! Huuuuuurah!"

Rather than siding with the singer, who claims she was the target of Eamon's ranting no1 f**k It, the lippy birds have had a pop at her.

Kimberley Walsh told me. " We love Eamon. He's so cute and I felt for him when I heard his girlfriend had cheated on him." "Good on him for speaking up."

Thankfully , Cheryl Tweedy was, as ever, more vocal on the subject. She said: " I would be feeling it more if she wasn't so nasty in her lyrics and if she was genuinely the ex-girlfriend. But i just think she's trying to jump on the bandwagon & it's a bit cheap & tarty. And he's taking 80% of her earnings. To be honest, on the first song,even though he sings quite abruptly you can understand why. But she's just the opposite. She's like 'I'm glad i didn't catch your crabs, you're s**t in bed' and i just think 'ohh you're a really horrible girl'."
Nicola Roberst chipped in: " What kind of girl sings about that anyway. It's awful. It's s**t."
The girls- who haven't released anything since the powerful and critically acclaimed cover Jump for the Love Actually soundtrack - will soon be sharing their shenanigans with us again. Despite being told to lose weight and lay off the booze by anxious record execs, the girls have regularly been spotted snacking on fast foods and enjoying nights out on the town.
And a band insider told me: "They'll be back soon, stronger than ever and ready to mix it up again. They've got a brand new single coming out at the end of June and an album they've been working on will be released in September."
At least we'll be getting a bit of controversey back in the charts. I look forward to the next instalment of Girls Aloud rucks and romances. And obviously their music too.....

Soap star Ray Panthaki has really got the hots for Girls Aloud sex siren Kimberley Walsh.
But there is just one little problem on the road to true romance - she's not sure if she fancies the lusty lad, who plays cheeky Ronny Ferreira in Eastenders. We hear he's developed a crush on the foxy chick and has been wooing her with his wicked ways. An insider said "Ray and Kimberley have met up a few times and on a recent night out in north London, he confessed to having the hots for her. He thinks she's gorgeous, well witty and funny. She gets on with him really well and they have a right giggle but doesn't seem to fancy him as much as he fancies her. He's very charming around girls and uses this sexy glint in his eyes when he flirts."
Ray was recently linked to co-star Brooke Kinsella after they were seen strolling in a park together, but pals dismiss any romance between them saying he's "happily single". While Ray, 25, makes the most of his single status, it seems Kim, 22, feels the same way. Earlier this year she split from her boyfriend of 3 years, footballer Martin Pemberton, blaming her "hectic schedule". And Ray hasn't had a relationship for 4 years.
Our insider added: "They have so much in common, both being in the limelight, and seem so well suited." Ray, voted one of Britain's most eligible bachelors, recently told us he wants nothing better than to find a foxy chick. He said: "It's so hard for me. Girls just come up and start talking to me. I've had to use my instincts. I've learned to work out who is genuine and who isn't. I guess it is like that when you are on telly." Ray said if the right woman came along he'd be delighted. He said: "When it happens it happens and I'll know it's meant to be."
Something tells us to watch this space…(Really??!!!!!)

June - Kimberley has since said she's never even met the guy!

Has Kimba dyed her her for yet another new look?!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2004182036,,00.html

Plus she was "spotted" again - this time out clubbing in Machester with Heidi from the Sugababes. Hopefully we'll be able to spot her ourselves soon...Bring on the new single & vid...

GIRLS ALOUD KIM IS GYM REBEL (she ignores 'shape up' warning.)
Girls Aloud sex-bomb Kimberley Walsh is giving her bosses the runaround by refusing to join a gym. The lovely lass was warned 6 months ago to shape up, along with bandmates. But golden girl Sarah is the only one who has been working out regularly. An insider said, Sarah uses the gym on frequent basis but Nicola & Cheryl only signed up this month. "They are
well aware they need to work hard to stay in shape, as it's part of their job to look good". Kimberley hasn't got round to joining the swanky gym in North London yet because she's been too busy. So bosses have told her they need to be fighting fit if they want to stay ahead of the competition. None of the girls like being told what to do, especially Kimberley, who is extremely determined. The girls are also under pressure because boybands Busted Mcfly and V all work out at the same gym. Rows about the girls hectic schedules have been escalating for some time, & they have been holed up in the studio.
Earlier this year the girls were sent to a special boot camp in a bid to get them toned up. That didn't go down well with sexy Nadine, who descibed working out as exhausting. Nadine also made no bones about her feelings for their boss
lovely Louis Walsh. She said, "honestly He is the one who keeps us out when we go to parties, convincing us to stay long past our bedtime. Next thing we know, we have to get up to perform with hangovers from hell". "So to think about going to the gym is just too much". A fitness guru from the Esporta health club said, "No matter how busy the girls are they should make time to pump iron, it's not only a good way of toning up but it also relieves stress."
KIMBERLEY TAKE NOTE....

If this is true, I think this is really sad. Hope they're both ok.

"IT'S GIRLS ALONE
Fourth love split hits pop group
VALENTINE'S Day is fast approaching and it looks like being a lonely one for the ladies in Britain's sexiest pop group Girls Aloud.

For we can reveal that yet another of the lovely lasses has split from her long-term boyfriend.

This time it's the turn of Kimberley Walsh, below, who has dumped her lover, footballer Martin Pemberton. The 22-year-old Bradford lass was seeing the Stockport County player before she found fame on hit ITV show Popstars: The Rivals.

But gorgeous Kimberley has called time on their three-year romance because of that age-old showbiz problem - busy schedules.

That leaves Nicola Roberts, 18, as the only member with a fella. Her relationship with Liverpool student Carl Egerton is still going strong after two years.

A friend of Kimberley's tells us: "She and Martin are both really upset about the split.

"They managed to hold things together this past year but the distance between them just became too much.

"He lives in Bradford and she's based down in London. They were just seeing less and less of each other. When that happens the strain on the relationship just gets too much.

"Even though they are no longer together, they still speak on the phone and are totally supportive of one another.

"But in the end they just had to be realistic. Things are raw but they're determined to remain civil.

"Now they are single, the girls have vowed to send each other Valentine's day
cards so that they don't feel left out."

Ah, how sweet.

Kimberley is the fourth member of the manufactured group to opt for the single life this year.

Last night a band spokesman said: "Kimberley has split from her boyfriend. It was amicable, there was no one else involved and they are still friends."

Kimberley has delighted the world by going to Samantha Mumba's 21st birthday bash in Dublin in a gorgeous short dress. It's unusual for us to get a glimpse of the Lush Puppy's legs so enjoy this:

Pictures: Kim by her car & Kim in her car

Girls Aloud babe Kimberley Walsh is over the va-va voom after treating herself to a brand new sporty motor.
But the brakes locked on her happiness when she realised she's the only gal in the group with a set of wheels. Now the 22 yr old fears she will become a cabbie for bandmates Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Cheryl Tweedy & Sarah Harding.
Kimberley snapped up her sleek Peugeot 206 Cabriolet when she popped home to see her family in Bradford for Christmas.
She decided to splurge £15k on the wonder wagon after none of her bandmates bought her a festive gift.
"We never had time to buy each other presents," she said. "We were going to do the whole 'secret santa' thing but it never happened."

Kimberley's dad John drove her & her sister Amy 16, to motor dealers JCT 600 to collect the silver blue car. And she couldn't wait to take it for a spin.

"I've been driving since I was 17 but this is the first new car I've ever bought, " she said. " I haven't had one for a while and I looked at a Z3 and other sporty ones , but i wanted to take passengers in the back."
But Kimberley's worried she's going to miss out on booze during night out with her bandmates - because she fears they'll get her to chauffer them about. "Sarah's the only other one of us who can drive, and she hasn't got a car" she added . "So i'll end up being the taxi."

We reckon she's the one who should take advantage - and get a fast - running meter fixed onto the dashboard. No doubt she'll will be whizzing down the M1 in her new toy - she joins the rest of the band in London this week to start recording their second album.

Perhaps, given Kimberley's new wheels, they can cover that that Vanessa Paridis classic ' Joe Le Taxi '? or perhaps Road to Nowhere by Torque-ing Heads.

Newsflash!
Saint Kim's halo is caught on camera.

Jump, Girls Aloud's fourth single is in the shops NOW! Buy it and show your support for the Girls in light of recent troubles. The single comes from the movie Love Actually which premiered in London last night. The Girls were there looking like you've never seen them before. Prepare for a jaw dropping experience - particularly of gorgeous Ms Walsh. Scroll down the page to see the just how stunning they look. Amazing.

Kimberley is going to be co-hosting SMTV on Sat afternoon (15th Nov). Make sure you watch it! It's on after CD:UK. She's also supposed to be keeping Cheryl company on the Frank Skinner show on Mon 17th Nov (ITV1, 10.35pm). Hopefully you saw Girls Aloud perform the fantastic Jump at the National Music Awards. I am absolutely loving that routine and Kimberley is looking truly amazing. And now she's on the TV even more! People finally realising just how gorgeous she really is.

As for the next single, well Annie DID get the exclusive that it would be Life Got Cold. Watch out for the video on one of the Sat shows very soon. Release date in August. Hurray! Not long! Here's hoping Kimberley features prominently in the vid.

Cheryl Tweedy appeared before Guildford Magistrates in Surrey today accused of racially aggravated assault on 39-year-old toilet attendant and part-time law student, Sophie Amogbokpa. She has been sent for trial denying the charges.She spoke only to confirm her name, age and address during the five-minute hearing. The case was adjourned by Chairman of the Bench, Sue Urquhart for a plea and directions hearing at Guildford Crown Court on July 11. [We're all thinking of you Cheryl and wishing there was something we could do. Charlie]

The album's out on 26th May.

Good Luck Cheryl.

And one more alert for digital viewers, watch out for a performance from the Girls on MTV's free TMF channel on 17th April 5-6pm - SOTU I imagine.
And then hopefully there'll be loads of appearances from the Girls on TV as they promote their wicked new tune.

CD-UK's catch up with Girls Aloud revealed some interesting new images for Cheryl and Kimberley. Cheryl's locks have been chopped while Kimberley's been given a fringe (if you don't like it at first, give it time). The Girls were doing a "behind the scenes" of their vid for new single "No Good Advice", which sounds fantastic. Silver is the colour of the day and some dodgy pale lipstick but maybe it will all make sense in the finished version.
The piece was edited to show Cheryl as the only band member able to talk (apart from Sarah who said a couple of things) - I think I heard Kim speak once and that was cut short by, er, Cheryl who said that they hadn't seen one true story written about them in the papers.
So on that note I don't think I'll bother with this news section anymore!
If you want to see pics of the Girls' new look for the video, visit this site by fantasy4ever. Kim's haircut may be a bit of a shock but the more I see it, the more I like it - and she looks great.

The Gorgeous Geordie has headed back to Newcastle for the weekend following serious assault charges being brought against her on Thursday by police in Surrey. The Girls were set to appear on Comic Relief night on Fri but they weren't on the show and they've now pulled out of performing at an event in Birmingham on Sunday 16 March. A spokesperson (according to the Mirror) says that Cheryl is shocked by the charge and bosses wouldn't expect her to perform under these circumstances.

The Girls WILL be on CD-UK on Saturday morning though - 11.30am ITV1 (repeated ITV2 4pm).

Girls Aloud's debut album will be out beginning of June, hopefully. Reports say that if all goes well, the Girls will release their hotly anticipated album on June 2nd.

The tour of Popstars the Rivals' Girls Aloud and One True Voice has been cancelled allegedly due to poor ticket sales - and the gutter press are loving it.
The main reason for the show - rivalry - was brushed aside for the joint tour but Louis Walsh acknowledges that touring together was not a good idea. He says "Girls Aloud are doing brilliantly and they don't need to be supported by anyone else. The association with the boys was letting them down."
The Girls, "disappointed" at the cancellation, are looking to tour on their own later in the year.

Girls Aloud are the official girl group for Red Nose Day next month on the 14th March.
If you haven't done so already, visit the official site for pictures of the Girls in Red Nose Day t-shirts. I've put one photo in the gallery.

The organisers of the Brits have allegedly told Girls Aloud (amongst others) to stay away from the Brits as manufactured pop bands are not welcome - only real bands(!). Do I smell double standards?
Louis Walsh has since said that it was he that told the Girls they shouldn't be attending such events yet. Could this all be another case of tabloids making stories up? I prefer Louis' version (if it's true).

What's wrong with letting your hair down now and then?
