Performing together: Charlotte Church was on stage again with Jonathan Powell in Balham last night


Gavin Henson has spoken of his agony at seeing his children being brought up by another man following his split from Charlotte Church.

In his first full interview since his break-up with the singer, the 28-year-old Wales rugby international revealed he felt so 'raw' that he has pleaded for a release from his rugby club for 'compassionate reasons … and my mental state of mind'.

Henson and Miss Church, 24, ended their volatile five-year romance in May, only weeks after their engagement.


Fledgling romance: Charlotte says Jonathan is a 'handsome guy' but Gavin Henson says it tears him apart to see another man with his children


Miss Church – who was nicknamed the Voice of an Angel after finding fame as a child – is now in a relationship with musician Jonathan Powell.

Speaking about his former fiancee’s new boyfriend, an emotional Henson said: 'It’s the worst thing in the world to see your kids being brought up by another fella. It’s not nice at all.

'I don’t want people feeling sorry for me, it goes on and I’ve got to deal with it and I’m dealing with it.

'The last thing I want to do is bad-mouth Charlotte. I’m never going to do that – she’s the mother of my kids.

'We’re just opposites and it just hasn’t worked out.


Bold outfit: Charlotte wore a sheer lace dress over a body suit


'It’s a nightmare situation and it’s been in the tabloids at the weekend again.'

Pain was etched on his face as he talked about his children, one-year-old Dexter and two-year-old Ruby, during the interview on BBC Breakfast.

Henson, who has signed up to star on the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, said: 'I am trying to be the best father I can be when I see them – which is limited – but I want to make my kids proud and for them to see me play rugby.'

His comments came hours after Miss Church appeared alongside Powell at a 'warm-up' gig at a pub in Balham, South London, ahead of the release of her new album, Back To Scratch.

She was accompanied by 23-year-old Powell as he sang backing vocals and played the guitar.

They exchanged loving glances throughout the intimate set in The Bedford pub as she sang songs from the album, which Powell helped write.


'Raw': Gavin Henson spoke to the BBC about his pain from seeing Charlotte with another man


Looking svelte, Miss Church performed barefoot in a glittery, seethrough black lace dress.

Speaking for the first time about her new romance, she said: 'Jonathan is a handsome guy and really cool and we have worked together a lot. We get on well, so we’ll see how it goes.'



Before the break up: The couple with their son Dexter and daughter Ruby


The couple met in Miss Church’s mother’s local pub, the Robin Hood, in Cardiff, although she insisted nothing happened before she and Henson split.

She said: 'Both Jonathan and I ended our relationships long before either of us even thought of moving on.'

Despite Miss Church’s upbeat remarks, Henson made it clear that he is still feeling distraught.

He is on unpaid leave from his club, Ospreys, and injuries appear to have all but finished his international dreams.

Henson said he wanted to be released from the club so he can have a fresh start away from Wales, but could not as Miss Church lives in Cardiff with their children.

'It’s just tough,' he said. 'It’s because I know the players so well and obviously there’ll be banter and obviously the personal relationship with Charlotte is in all the papers. They'll be asking me questions and I’m not quite ready for that. I'm a bit raw, to be honest.

'I had heart-to-heart talks with the Ospreys, I opened my heart to them really, told them what had gone on. I told them for compassionate reasons, for my mental state of mind, I need to go somewhere for the season.

'I don’t want to face it. I want to be somewhere new where people are a little bit too respectful to ask about my business and just don’t know who I am – just have a fresh club and see where I am rugby-wise and then come back to Wales.'

His manager, Matt Ginvert, told the Daily Mail that although this was Henson’s desire, nothing had been confirmed yet.

Balletic: Cheryl Cole is seen wearing pointe shoes with her hair tied back in the video for her new single Promise This


It would be fair to say quite a lot has changed in Cheryl Cole's personal life since the release of her last record.

In the intervening period, Cheryl Cole, 27, has been struck down by malaria, and divorced her ex-husband, footballer Ashley.

However, despite her woes, Mrs Cole has been determined to continue with her burgeoning music career.


*** Listen to Promise This below ***


In the aftermath of the breakdown of her marriage and then as she recovered from malaria this summer, the singer headed to Los Angeles to continue work on the new record.

This morning, the new track, called Promise This, was aired for the first time on Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles’ breakfast programme.

Somewhat unsurprisingly it won rave reviews from her fans on the Internet. The new album will follow in November.

Now these photographs from the video for the new single have emerged.



Graceful: Cheryl is seen with a dancer in the video, which was directed by Sophie Muller


They show Miss Cole – with simply styled swept back hair – as a ballerina as well as dancing with a mystery man dressed all in black.

The video was directed by Sophie Muller, who has worked with stars including Beyonce Knowles, Coldplay, Gwen Stefani and the Kings Of Leon in the past.

Mrs Cole was granted her decree nisi from Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole at the beginning of this month.

The pair, who married in July 2006, separated in February after he was accused of cheating on her with a number of women.

She then contracted malaria following a trip to Tanzania in June.

The Girls Aloud star's first album 3 Words went to No1 last November as did her debut solo single Fight For This Love.

Buona sera, Italia! Kylie performs her hit single All The Lovers at day two of Miss Italia 2010 last night


If anyone was going to give the contestants of a beauty contest a run for their money then it would be Kylie Minogue.

The pop princess nearly diverted the attention away from the girls hoping to be crowned Miss Italy last night as she put on a sexy performance at the annual event.

The singer shimmied in white satin Dolce & Gabbana as she performed her hit single All The Lovers for the audience.


Scroll down for the videos...


Surrounded by half-naked dancers - which has become the norm for the Aussie superstar these days - she gyrated and writhed on the round white podium much to the delight of the crowd.

And while her set and her beautiful dress were very modern and chic, she sported a very Eighties hairdo, her long wavy locks swept over to one side of her head.

As the special guest of day two of the pageant, which is now in its 71st year, she started her set with a performance of her new song Get Outta My Way.


Sexy signora: Kylie starts her performance lying on a white podium surrounded by dancers


Grazie, tutto: Kylie smiles appreciatively at the Italian audience as she finishes her set


And satin was clearly the fabric of the night for Miss Minogue, as she arrived on the stage in a very short Persian green dress, also by Dolce & Gabbana.

Starting her song perched atop a chair, she was soon on her feet as she launched into the catchy dance song.

It is her second single from her album Aphrodite and will be released on September 27.

Green goddess: Kylie looked stunning in a Persian green satin dress as she began her set


Pop princess: Kylie dazzled the Italian audience in her very short dress and very high sparkly gold heels


Before she arrived at the annual event, which is held in the northern town of Salsomaggiore Terme, she excitedly took to her Twitter page.

She wrote: 'Italy ... here I come!!! See you all later this evening :) CIAO!!!!!!'
The pageant final takes place tonight and actress Sharon Stone is expected to attend as the guest of honour judge and will decide the winner alongside presenter Milly Carlucci and Prince of Emanuele Filiberto, grandson of Italy’s last king, Umberto II.


Get on your feet! Kylie and her half-naked dancers strut their stuff



Hopeful: The 60 contestants show off their dancing skills to the judges


This weekend, Kylie gave a frank interview to the Mail on Sunday's You magazine in which she revealed that she is not ready to stop performing yet.

The tireless pop star joked that she will be 'the one in the old people’s home doing high-kicks in the corner'.

But Kylie, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, also admitted that the medication – which continues for five years after treatment – has troubling side effects, including nausea and headaches which leaves her in 'floods of tears'.

Reunited: Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow performed for the first time in 15 years at the Help For Heroes Concert at Twickenham Stadium


Newly-reunited Take That stars Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams tonight performed together live for the first time in 15 years.

In a sign that their dark years were behind them, Williams and Barlow embraced on stage in front of fans.

The duo sang to 60,000 people, including Prince Harry, at Twickenham Stadium in south west London in aid of the Help For Heroes charity which supports members of the armed forces.



Back together: The Take That bandmates performed their single Shame, written about their relationship


Best of friends: Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow hug and congratulate one another

Introducing Barlow to the stage, Williams said: 'Have I got a treat for you, this is one of the most amazing moments in my professional career so far.

'It has been 15 years in the making. My wife calls him my boyfriend, I call him my captain, you call him Gary Barlow.'

The crowd cheered as the Take That frontman entered the stage and Williams bowed down to him


Army officer Prince Harry was accmpanied by his friends, but also joined Help for Heroes founder, Bryn Parry


Injured service personnel had earlier spoken spoke of their gratitude after thousands of people turned out for a charity gig to support the armed forces.

Twickenham Stadium, in south west London, hosted 60,000 people as stars including Alexandra Burke, The Saturdays, Peter Kay and Alesha Dixon performed for the Help For Heroes charity.

Trooper James Dolby of The Royal Dragoon Guards was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) in June while working as part of a clearance operation in southern Afghanistan.


The Saturdays: Vanessa White, Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Frankie Sandford and Mollie King perform


Dancing girls: Rochelle, Mollie and Una perform their routine to their track Missing You; they had earlier tweeted: 'SUPER excited...especially as it's such a great cause'


The 19-year-old, from York, broke his arm, leg and eye socket in the explosion in June which killed his comrade Trooper Ashley Smith.

Speaking from Twickenham, Trooper Dolby said Help For Heroes had supported him since he returned.

'In the past people haven't had the opportunity to see about the injured lads that come back from Afghanistan the media focus more on the deaths,' he said.


Quick change: Alexandra covered up in a military style jacket, before revealing her risque top beneath


Strictly business: Lucky Bruce Forsyth performs alongside his workmate Alesha Dixon, although his outfit can't compete with her gold leotard


'It is important that people know that lads come back injured who need the money and support to be able to have a normal life again.'

Lance Corporal Wyn Austin said it was 'amazing' to see the support from the crowd in the stadium.

The 22-year-old amputee, from Grantham, Leicestershire, got to meet Williams on Friday.

He said: 'Robbie came to see us and we got to have a picture with him and The Saturdays. He just came up and shook our hands and he was normal with us which is how we want people to be with us


What an angel: Katherine Jenkins performed with a troup of dancers


Pixie Lott holds her arm up as she dances for the crowd


'It is brilliant to be here today and see the crowds of people supporting us. Help For Heroes are doing as much as they can to help us out and it's just great.'

L/Cpl Austin lost his leg and crushed two vertebrae when his vehicle struck a pressure-plate IED in July.

The blast killed Trooper James Leverett who was driving the vehicle in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province.


Audience favourites: Pop star James Blunt and Welsh croonerTom Jones


Enrique Iglesias fittingly performed his track Hero

Nadine Coyle poses provocatively in artwork for new single Insatiable

Sultry: Nadine Coyle poses provocatively in the artwork for new single Insatiable


Nadine Coyle has got some tough competition as she prepares to release her debut solo single.

With Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole having proved a huge hit with her own solo career, the pressure is on Nadine to follow in Ms Cole's multi-talented footsteps.

But the 25-year-old singer is determined to give it her best shot, and has released artwork for her new single Insatiable which shows her posing provocatively.
Scroll down to hear a snippet of Insatiable

In the photograph, Nadine is seen looking sultry as she stares into the camera - wearing only a tight red skirt and a sheepskin jacket.

Nadine is preparing to release her debut single Insatiable on November 1st, with the album of the same name following on November 8th.

Talking about the upcoming track, which was co-written with legendary songwriter Guy Chambers, Nadine said she knew it was going to be a hit as soon as they finished it, because it was so catchy.


Bandmates: It is unclear whether Nadine will be returning to Girls Aloud


She said: 'I’m a pop artist, and that’s what pop songs should do at their best. I just knew we had something special when we wrote that song.'

And Nadine thinks the album, which features 13 songs all written or co-written by her, is her best work to date, adding: 'It had to be right.

'It had to be my sound and my songs. Insatiable feels like that.'

But creating the album and single was a long and difficult process for Nadine, who eventually decided to set up her own record label Black Pen Records so she could take complete control.

Explaining the decision, Nadine said: 'So much has changed in the way artists work now. I think we have learned that the traditional model for selling an album isn’t the only way of doing things.

'To be able to create an album where you are in complete control of your own work is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an artist.’


Competition: Nadine's Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole has proved a huge success with her solo career


Nadine also revealed this morning that she will be performing the single, and some other tracks from the album, at London's G-A-Y on Saturday 30th October.

She wrote on Twitter this morning: 'Soooo excited to be performing new songs for the first time at G-A-Y... Halloween weekend it's going to be madness.. see you there! woohoo.'

The album and single release will mark a return to the music industry for Nadine, who has been in America since Girls Aloud announced in April 2009 they would be taking a break.

And while Sarah Harding has been concentrating on her acting career with a role in St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold, Nicola Roberts has released a make-up range while Kimberley Walsh is presenting a new TV show called Suck My Pop.

But it's Cheryl who has arguably proved the most successful, with numerous hit singles including Fight For This Love and Parachutes as well as a hugely popular debut album under her belt.

With plans to record a new album at the end of the year, Girls Aloud fans are getting ready to welcome their favourite group back to the music circuit.




Excited: Nadine, pictured in London last month, is excited about the release


However, in a recent interview, Nicola neatly avoided a question on the rumours that Nadine will not be joining the girls upon their return.

She said: 'I think it’s just one of those things as a band we’ve just always kind of had from day one, but at the moment it seems to be very prominent.

'We were in the band for day and had a press conference and they were already asking "When’s Nadine leaving the band?" It’s kind of just one of those things that’s part and parcel of the whole job.'

A decade on, Kylie Minogue is Spinning Around in her hotpants again for Get Outta My Way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDZ00XHDAgendofvid

By Jody Thompson

Red hot: Kylie Minogue sports a pair of barely-there pants in the video for new single Get Outta My Way which was premiered online today


She's got one of the most famous rears in the world - so fans will be delighted that Kylie Minogue is brandishing her rather beautiful bottom again in the video for her latest single Get Outta My Way.

This time round, the hotpants are red rather than gold and are matched with a skimpy red satin top and sexy suspender-style over-the-knee boots.

Kylie, 42, infamously reignited her career by donning a pair of gold hotpants in the video for her 2000 hit Spinning Around.


In the spotlight: The singer throws shapes of a different kind on the dancefloor


The video saw the star catapulted back up the charts after a fairly fallow period in her career - and the hotpants went into the popular culture history books.


They were bought by the video's stylist for just 50p at Portobello Road vintage market in London's Notting Hill, and went on to be displayed at the Victoria And Albert Museum.

However, this time round, the red hot pants are most definitely brand new and part of a dazzling array of costume changes in the promo.


In Vogue: A touch of the Madonnas here as the Aussie popstrel poses in her promo


The new video for her forthcoming single also features Kylie writhing on the floor in echoes of the raunchy promo for another of her hits, 2003's Slow.

The follow-up to her last hit single All The Lovers, the video for Get Outta My Way got it's UK premiere online at 11am today.

It's the second single to be released from her current album Aphrodite.

The star's 11th LP, it went to Number One when it was released in July, exactly 22 years after her first UK Number One, her self-titled debut album.


Removal men: Kylie sports a gold basque as some topless men rearrange the furniture


As well as showing off her behind and rolling around on the floor, the I Should Be So Lucky Aussie songstress - who was recently awarded UK citizenship - the star takes part in a choreographed West End musical-style routine using chair.

She also wears an amazing sculpted gold dress at one point, with matching gold shoes and an outrageous claw-shaped knuckle duster.


On the throne: Pop queen Kylie gets a boost from her dancers


Sex kitten: The singer sports a fierce looking gold claw-shaped knuckle duster


Kylie's coming: The star stalks along like a cat


The video also has incredible lighting effects and some rather fit looking men who must have been hot doing doing all that dancing as they take their tops off a lot.

The video was directed by promo dream team AlexandLiane, who have previously shot videos for Cheryl Cole's Parachute, La Roux's I'm Not Your Toy and The Ting Tings' award-winning video for Shut Up And Let Me Go.

The incredibly catchy Get Outta My Way meanwhile hits the shops on September 27.

Lady Gaga starves herself to fit into her costumes, new book claims

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHloy9LgiXYendofvid

By Daily Mail Reporter


Slender: Lady Gaga looking slender. Her petite frame is under scrutiny in a new book that claims she has unusual eating habits


A new book is claiming that Lady Gaga was hospitalised six times in 2009 due to her yo-yo dieting which caused her to get dangerously ill.

The singer's former tour manager David Ciemny says the controversial star goes to dangerous lengths to fit into her infamous costumes.

In his new book Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga, Ciemny says the performer found it hard coping with her new found celebrity.

'When I say she was sick, I mean physically and mentally.'

David writes in his book that Gaga would go on junk food binges while on tour and would gorge on sweets and unhealthy food.

He claimed she'd then not eat for weeks so she could slim to fit into her costumes. He recalls she once lost 20 pounds in between fittings.


Toned: It's claimed that the singer goes on eating binges where she scoffs junk food and then doesn't eat for days afterwards


Talent scout Wendy Starland added, 'The pressure on her to lose weight was very high.'

The issue had allegedly been the subject of concern when she shot her music video for Paparazzi.

A witness from the shoot said: 'Producers had to shoot around her. They draped fabric over her thighs and shot her backside with a softer lens.'


Fluctuating weight: Although Gaga has never been fat - her weight has fluctuated during her career. Her costumes are usually revealing and tend to leave nothing to the imagination


David's wife Angela also weighs in on what she described as bizarre behaviour by Gaga. She claims that the 24-year-old would cuddle up next to her in bed before her performances and then beg for her to come back when she left.

'I would say, 'Gaga, I have a husband to go home to. I'll be in the room next door.

'She'd call and text me, 'I miss you Ange, can you come back?'

Angela said she would return to Gaga's room and they soon ended up spending lots of time together.


Unique style: Gaga always pushes the envelope regarding her fashion but it's now claimed she's pushing herself too far in her quest to remain skinny


'We literally would do our make-up together every morning and get ready for bed together at night.'

The Bad Romance singer has admitted in the past to being insecure.

'When I wake up in the morning I feel just like any other insecure girl. Then I say, B***h, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.'

Gaga also revealed she was bullied about her appearance while at an all-girls private school in New York.


Bullied: The singer has revealed that she was bullied about her looks while attending an all girls school as a child in New York


'I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of.'

Although the hurtful comments hit her to the core, Gaga admits that throwing herself into her work and her musical talent helped her to cope.

However, Gaga's desire to succeed and to please her fans has sometimes taken its toll on the petite star.

In January she was forced to cancel four US shows suffering from an irregular heartbeat brought on by exhaustion.

She also tested 'borderline positive' for Lupus, a tissue disease which claimed the life of her aunt.


Unflattering: Lady Gaga's costumes sometimes don't portray her figure in the best light.


Following a severe case of jet lag after arriving in Australia, Gaga passed out three times while performing her first show in Auckland back in March.

'I was so jet lagged,' she told Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O.

'I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I'd rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.'

There has been speculation about Gaga's eating habits before.

A rep for the singer had dismissed reports earlier this year that Gaga was just eating baby food in order to stay slim.

Her fans are probably hoping that Lady Gaga's non conformist attitude and sense of individuality isn't lost in her quest to become skinny.

Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga is out on September 14.
