Last night in a tweet, News of the World Showbiz Editor Dan Wootton said he'd be releasing a bombshell regarding Girls Aloud's future. As
predicted by me, the story is made up almost entirely of 'insiders, sources, friends' etc, so we can pretty much dismiss this story as bull, although ill write it up anyways....
Girls Aloud have supposedly discussed becoming a four-piece and recording their next album this year WITHOUT Nadine Coyle. A "source" close to the band confirmed the bombshell news and said: "
They're tired of her mucking them around."
Cheryl, Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley had been planning to go into the studio with Nadine in November to record their next album, but Nadine has said in an interview last week that she would definitely NOT work on an album this year.
Nadine Coyle says there has been no discussions between the girls and management about specific plans for the future, in a NOTW article last Sunday. That was apparently news to her bandmates, who reacted angrily because they remain committed to the band's studio time THIS YEAR.
The insider goes on to explain: "
The girls always had the end of 2010 booked in to record their next album and all of them, other than Nadine, still want to go ahead. If Nadine refuses they could simply go ahead as the four of them. It's not ideal and they would rather find a way to make it work, but she doesn't seem interested."
"
Nadine hasn't been in contact with the girls in ages. But the other four are still best of friends and have been rallying around Cheryl during this tough time. That's very telling and it could be a sign of things to come. The band could survive without her. Some fans might be disappointed but they'd rather Girls Aloud continue with four members than not go on at all."
When the girls announced a temporary split last year, they implicitly stated they would reform for a new album in 2010, which is inline with their new three-album contract. But those plans are currently in chaos as Nadine focuses on launching her solo career now she's finally managed to get a contract.
The source added: "
Nadine is essentially mucking the other girls around. They are ready and waiting. But it's become clear to us that her heard doesn't seem to be in the band anymore."
So what do you think folks??? Is this a case of another insider feeding the media BS, or is Nadine mucking the band around now she's finally getting into gear after a long-search for a solo record deal.
