Transworld has paid a substantial six-figure sum for the first book from girl band and tabloid favourites Girls Aloud. The news comes as HarperCollins snapped up the autobiography of Irish boy band Westlife.
Transworld senior editor Sarah Emsley saw off stiff competition to win the Girls Aloud book, currently entitled Girls Aloud—Dreams That Glitter—Our Story and due in October. Singers Cheryl (wife of footballer Ashley Cole), Kimberley, Nadine, Nicola and Sarah started out as hopefuls on “Popstars: The Rivals” in 2002, and have since had 18 consecutive Top 10 singles.
Transworld said that in the past two years there has only been one day on which a story about the band has not appeared in the British national press. Girls Aloud said the book would cover the stories of their lives, both individually and as a band, their style tips, and “everything we’ve learnt about life, love and music”.
The Westlife title, due in June, was acquired by Harper Non-fiction editorial director Natalie Jerome from agent Marianne Gunn O’Connor in a “substantial deal” that was “hotly contested”. All four members—Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan—will contribute to the autobiography, which will chart how they became a band that has had more number ones that any other group except the Beatles.

THE PASSIONS OF GIRLS ALOUD – SARAH KITS OUT IN POLISTAS FOR POLO EXPERIENCE

ITV has produced a series following the experiences of Britain’s most successful girl band, Girls Aloud.
Each of the members of the band was given the opportunity to experience a lifelong dream activity.

Sarah Harding, the blond haired sexy lingerie modelling member of the group, chose to learn the sport of polo on horseback as her “passion”.
Sarah starts her polo lifestyle experience with a trip to the prestigious Burlington Arcade in London’s Mayfair. There, with fellow band member Kimberley Walsh, Sarah kits herself out in the latest polo fashion from genuine polo outfitter to polo players and polo watchers around the world, Polistas.
From the glamour of the West End, Sarah, with film crew in tow, went to one of Britain’s equestrian heartlands, the Warwickshire countryside, to get on her first polo pony at the Royal Leamington Spa Polo Club. The camera catches all of Sarah’s ups and downs as she learns how to swing a mallet, ride a polo pony and bump the competition in ride-offs. Rules have to be learned as well as technique as Sarah is taken under the wing of polo professional and instructor Tarquin Southwell.
Founder of Polistas, Johnny Lynn, a professional polo instructor himself, gives a helping hand during instructional chukkas as Sarah is guided through her first week introduction of the sometimes not so glamorous “Game of Kings”.
Then Sarah is whisked off to Argentina, the modern home of polo, for a different level of polo practice on a rustic Argentine estancia (polo ranch).
She returns to England for her final test a week later where she plays on the Polistas Polo Team in a genuinely competitive match with celebrity polo player Jack Kidd and Royal County of Berkshire principal Jamie Morrison.
The one hour episodes of “The Passions of Girls Aloud” air in March 2008 on ITV2 on Friday evenings from 10pm.
To catch the action of Sarah’s exiting experience tune in at 10pm on Friday 21st.

Girls Aloud Feud?

Gather round kids, and let us clean up the splatterings of goss off you.
We know how easily these things are spread.
But it’s our job to spit on our hankies and wipe off the gossip that is of the filthy false variety.
So step forward, Girls Aloud.
There was talk that a couple of the girlies were having a bust-up.
Yet we can lay this one to rest…
Cheryl Cole and Sarah Harding have piped up about this little nugget.
New! magazine asked the twosome about a feud.
And Sarah told them: “Yeah, I read about that – Cheryl asking for a shotgun to shoot me with apparently.
“It’s rubbish and I want to get that straight.”
Cheryl added: “I haven’t had an argument with Sarah for four years and I remember that argument – it was at Pineapple dance studios and she was p***ing me off.
“And that’s the last cross word I’ve had with her.”
Ah, nowt but a whole lotta love here.

WE’RE IN FOR A SIZZLER

GET ready for the sexiest summer ever as babes prepare to flash the flesh.
Experts reckon this summer could be the hottest on record with the mercury rising well above the 101.3F (38.5C) UK record set in Brogdale, Kent, on August 10, 2003.And it will not just be the heat that sends temperatures soaring. A survey claims babes are gearing up to flaunt their flesh in skimpy dresses and micro-bikinis – like 26-year-old Girls Aloud beauty Sarah Harding.The study says 77% of women plan to show their cleavage in dresses and bikinis. And 60% say they’ll give lads an eyeful in daring mini-skirts, while almost half confess they will also be going commando.One in three even reckon they will sunbathe topless.Global warming has changed recent weather patterns, sparking some of the most topsy-turvy seasons ever.Last summer large parts of the UK were under water as the nation was hit by floods. But it looks as if we will need to stock up on suntan cream instead of wellies this year. One weather expert said: “You won’t need to go abroad for your holiday.”Meanwhile, William Hill is offering 4-1 that 2008 is the hottest year on record. The bookie is also offering 8-1 that a UK temperature of more than 100F (37.7C) will be registered.Spokesman Rupert Adams said: “If someone told you that summer was starting, you would think it was an April Fools’ joke, but the odds suggest we could be in for a great summer.”

SARAH’S CUPS GET THE PUSH
By Alice Walker, Emma Donnan & Katie Hind
Moist tissues all round lads – it’s goodbye to these boys after GIRLS ALOUD totty SARAH HARDING was dumped by bra firm Ultimo.
Sarah, 25, has been perking up the nation in her best undies since signing a £100,000 deal.
But after just a year she’s been bounced out and is rumoured to be replaced by another saucy singer – Pussycat Doll NICOLE SHERZINGER, 29.
It’s not the first time Ultimo boss MICHELLE MONE has hired and fired like-for-like models. Back in 2004 she axed ROD STEWART’s then girlfriend PENNY LANCASTER, 37, for his ex-wife RACHEL HUNTER, 38.
We’re told: “Sarah’s a bit upset but she is sure she won’t be short of modelling offers – plus she’s really busy with the group. She’s got more than enough going on.”

If I’m seen out with a guy then I’m automatically supposed to be involved with them.”
