You may think there’s no such thing as a smart pop star but take Girls Aloud lead singer Nadine Coyle out of the question as she is quite the business woman. She already has a Mexican restaurant she opened in Orange County in California and also has property investments. In addition to that, she’s opening up a candle shop in Los Angeles. She definitely has a good head on her shoulders and knows that a pop career isn’t going to last forever. The UK pop princess is now based in LA where her family lives. Why can’t all pop stars be like her?

Sarah Harding is making moves behind the scenes to launch a solo career away from Girls Aloud. The Manc caner has been in touch with a select group of top music managers to sound them out in a bid to secure solo success after her girl band dream ends.

But so far she has been knocked back by operators including the team who put Lily Allen on the map and made Natasha Bedingfield a big name in the US.

An insider said: “Sarah has had an eye on her future for a long time. She knows girl bands only have a short shelf-life and that the dream wouldn’t last for ever”

Girls Aloud band member, Cheryl Cole is desperate to have children, claims bandmate Kim Walsh.

Cheryl is married to England soccer star Ashley Cole and admits that she wants a family, but promises to finish touring before she starts trying.

Kimberley said: “Cheryl will have kids first. She is the softest and has taken on the motherly role since getting married. She would happily have one but she is so committed to what we are doing right now. She would say, ‘But we have to do the tour!’

Kimberley, who has been dating Triple 8 singer Justin Scott since May 2006, also revealed she is looking forward to getting married and having children one day.

So it may not be long until I announce yet another celebrity pregnancy…
