Music-News.com are the first to reveal that Dragon's Den star and owner of RKA Records, Duncan Bannatyne is rumoured to be making a TV show to rival the likes of the X Factor, The Voice and Britain's Got Talent, and Music-News.com's very own reality TV guru, Dean Midas Maynard is involved.Source: Music-News.com
It was only last week, that Rupert Adams at William Hill, said Dean was 66/1 to join the judges X Factor panel. Even though Dean openly says it is his 'dream job' to work alongside Simon Cowell, he also has the ambition, if you can't join them, beat them.
Ryan Ashmore, the co-founder of RKA Records, contacted Dean and advised that Duncan (Bannatyne) was looking for innovative ideas for a new reality show format. So the team locked themselves away together and put their brilliant minds to work. They emerged full of excitement. An idea was born.
Dean said, "We can't give anything away at this stage but the idea is fresh, new and will certainly get people interested".
Ryan Ashmore commented "I am working closely with Dean Maynard and I believe we have come up with a TV concept to find the next world star".
Who will be involved? The main judges will be Ryan, Duncan and Dean. But they also need some female influence. Selena Gomez, Rachel Stevens and Holly Valance are rumoured to be high on their list.
As we speak the finishing touches are being put to the project with more news to follow..very soon.
Hi Saara, thanks for the interest! We're excited too, we're just getting them ready for our website so keep an eye out and I'll make sure we update you when they are online. Thanks again :)
Rachel Stevens looks red hot to launch Red for HeartSource: Bhf.org.uk
Rachel Stevens is getting hearts in a flutter with her red hot look to launch our annual Red for Heart campaign, as part of National Heart Month.
February is National Heart Month and we encourage everyone to go Red for Heart and raise vital funds for us to continue our life-saving work.
From red nails, to a red tie, socks or a top to toe outfit, we are urging people across the UK to follow Rachel’s example and wear red on National Wear Red Day on 24 February.
Rachel says: “I’m wearing red during National Heart Month for the BHF to help the fight against heart disease. You can help save lives too by getting involved in Red for Heart and wearing your best red outfit on National Wear Red Day, 24 February.”
However, National Wear Red Day is not the only day you can help us to save lives as there are lots of other fundraising ideas, anything goes as long as it's red.
Eek! So excited about our event next week at our client's restaurant, Golden Union Fish Bar where Alexandra Burke, Rachel Stevens and Aldo Zilli will be serving Britain's favourite meal to @centrepoint youths. Here's our Jason wearing one of the aprons that were delivered today
@northwestmag: Re-launched February issue came in today with @MsRachelStevens on the cover - looking gorgeous as ever! Be sure to look out for it!
@MsRachelStevens: Face time is beyond amazing!...Alex just had a conversation with @DJYodaUK down under like he was round the corner!
@MsRachelStevens: Mmm what a yummy dinner!
@MsRachelStevens: Just watching Got To Dance...can't believe how amazing these dancers are!
@MsRachelStevens: Off to make a nice cuppa!
@MsRachelStevens: I do make a great cuppa!
Rachel Stevens has been away for too long. Sure, the demands of motherhood quite legitimately expect full and devoted attention, but little Amelie’s gain has surely been the music industry’s loss … Thankfully, the ‘Sweet Dreams My LA Ex’ and ‘Some Girls’ singer is back – revived, revitalised, and looking as stunning as ever.Source: On Magazine
And this time, as well as the music, she carries with her some rather engaging research about the partying habits of the female population. But first, the music … “I’m in the studio again, and it feels brilliant to be back doing it,” she begins. “It feels like the right time. Music’s something I absolutely love. It makes me feel complete. But this time I’m changing things around a bit – a new sound, a bit of a departure from what I did before, and exciting times.”
The mum of one, regularly voted one of the sexiest women on the planet by FHM readers, toyed with the idea of an acting career, winning supporting roles in such intellectual fare as Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and ITV drama Susie Gold, and even uprooted herself to LA to pursue her on-screen dream. So are there any plans to step in front on the lens again?
“Nothing at the moment, but you never know. If something comes up, maybe, but I’m really busy with everything else going on, so it’s not my main priority. For the time being at least, I’m going to keep my focus in the studio.” She adds: “I loved my time out in LA, I didn’t do it solely for the purpose of my career; I just really fancied a change as well. I did go for lots of auditions and worked on my music, but nothing concrete came out of it. But give me the chance; I would jump at an opportunity to move out there again for a while. Maybe when Amelie’s older? The lifestyle is second to none.”
For the time being, Stevens – the face of the Baileys drink and their ‘Add a Little Something’ campaign – is busy encouraging women to have their girlfriends round for a fun night in. With going out becoming much more expensive, it’s a notion that sits nicely with newfound motherhood and the constant need for babysitters!
“Everything has changed so dramatically really,” she says. “Nothing could have prepared me for it. I’m up early every morning, and I’m not great at getting up early. At least I wasn’t before … I’m better now. We used to go out all the time at the drop of a hat but we can’t do that now. It takes so much forward planning. Everything changes. We’re responsible for this little person. But I’m in love with her, she’s such a great girl, so good, has never really cried, and makes it very easy for us. And we’ve great support from family about the area.
“But it’s been really interesting getting involved with the Baileys campaign as well. People are socialising in different ways than they used to. I’ve loved the drink for years, and was interested to hear that 73% of women never or only get together on special occasions for girly nights. I think the credit crunch has had a real effect on that, so we’re calling for girls to get involved in and inspired to be going out or staying in more – whatever, as long as they are enjoying themselves. Whatever we do in life, everyone needs a bit of a break.”
So while she’s out enjoying herself, Rachel’s putting on hold plans to extend the family?! “Amelie’s magical, and a delightful thing. At some point, yes, I love more kids, but right now, we’re happy with just the one extra mouth to feed!”
Rachel Stevens adds a little something special to her girls’ nights with Baileys. Check out www.facebook.com/BaileysGB for delicious cocktail ideas and tips for your girls’ nights in or out.
Rachel Stevens is probably the best known for S Club 7 but she has also released two solo albums and starred in several BBC shows. The British FHM has chosen her as the sexiest woman of the world twice.
