Sarah Harding heads for the catwalk and the big screen!

What's the lovely Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud up to these days? Well, for starters, she'll be turning her talents to modelling for an exclusive Look magazine fashion show at the new Stratford Westfield shopping centre.

The glamorous show will take place during the East London superstore's first week of trading when it opens its doors to the public on September 17th.

The show is part of that high-point of the year - London Fashion Week; expect appearances from big name brands like Miss Selfridge, New Look and River Island.

This isn't the only exciting solo project Sarah has going at the moment though - she's also been cast in new Brit film Run For Your Life.

Appearing alongside the likes of Danny Dyer, Maureen Lipman, Ray Winstone and Denise Van Outen, Sarah plays the partner of the main character - Danny Dyer's South London taxi driver.

Judging by the cast, it sounds like it has the potential to be a future Brit-classic - one of those gritty cockney Lock, Stock styled action thrillers; the kind of film Sarah would be perfect for. Going by her roles in the likes of Bad Day and Freefall, I reckon she'll turn in a great performance again.

Roger Sanchez - Worldwide

The name Roger Sanchez comes as a symbol of quality, an assured safe bet when it comes to dance music. And in the year that his landmark No. 1 single Another Chance reaches its 10th birthday, it's as good as time as any to revisit the club supremo.

My interest in Sanchez had actually been piqued recently by rumours he was working on new material with Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding - for the time being though, let's focus on his new single, Worldwide.

Sanchez's recent mixes of the likes of Depeche Mode have been towering constructions; throbbing tribal anthems that throb with a dark primal alive-ness. And Worldwide follows along the same lines, also working in sweaty, energetic hip-hop influences.

It seems only right that a track entitled Worldwide would bear such an electric stamp of sonic influences, and it's a good fit - the track feels genuinely exciting; flipping between sounds and rhythms at the drop of a hat. The bass is real buzz-saw stuff, juddering right into your bones, propelling the track onwards in an almost machine-like fashion.

Definitely one for all those jetting off to Ibiza this summer to pop on their iPods before they go.

Worldwide is available to download from iTunes now.

Sarah Harding: 'I'm ready for Dating In The Dark. Are you?'

It's the perfect opening gambit (although quite how you can get 'ready' for pitch black romance, we're not sure).

We wrote a little about one of Sarah's recent interviews promoting the new Sky Living show last week, and seeing this new advert, it all looks very classy indeed. Sarah nails up a door and sticks tape over the edges to make absolutely sure no light can get in. She's certainly thorough, that girl.

And all this to the sultry tones of Dusty Springfield singing The Look Of Love. Amazing.

Sarah Harding: 'Tom just laughed me into bed'

In terms of bagging yourself a partner, being able to laugh them into your bed seems like a pretty cool skill to have. Girls Aloud super-hottie Sarah Harding speaks out in a new interview for Celebritain explaining how this was precisely how her Dj boyfriend Tom Crane won her over as she delves into the wonders and mysteries of dating - all in conjunction with her new job presenting Dating In The Dark.

Talking about whether looks are important in a relationship, she says:

"I used to want to go for the bad boys because I thought I could turn them – I’m sure every girl does. I
always liked excitement and I never liked boring; I like a bit of unpredictability but it was never to my favour.

With Tom, I knew him for about sixth months before and it really paid off to have that foundation of
friendship. We’ve got the same future outlook and stuff and it all fitted together.

He just laughed me into bed. He wasn’t my type at all, we’re a very similar height and I used to go for tall, big guys. But personality-wise we really clicked and he made me laugh my socks off. He’s just a really cheeky chappy. He can get on with anyone… but not get off with anyone."

The rest of the interview has the lovely Sarah explaining some of the workings behind the show - as you might imagine, going on a 'date' with someone when it's so dark you can't see their face is rather tricky.

Dating in the Dark begins on Sky Living on the 17th May - 9pm.

Sarah Harding lining up new dance collab with 'Sympho Nympho'

We've had Cheryl, Nadine and Kimberley releasing solo singles (albeit Kimba's being as a featured artist with Aggro Santos) and Nicola's album is due out shortly, but what is Sarah Harding up to these days? We've had a little taste of her music on the St. Trinian's soundtrack album and there have been rumours of her working with Roger Sanchez for a while now. But here's something else...


She's been working on a track with dance outfit Sympho Nympho. Comprised of producers Erick Morillo, Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero and Jose Nunez, the various members of the 'electro crossover band' have been tweeting about what they've been up to with the no-longer-blonde member of Girls Aloud. Exciting stuff!

Girls Aloud Forever - A tweet from Nadine to Sarah H

As a collective, Girls Aloud fans across the world went AWWWWW! <3 What could be more adorable? After what seems like uncountable millions of years, pop darling Nadine Coyle finally said a little about one of her bandmates on Twitter. Blonde bombshell/Gothic queen Sarah Harding is having her engagement party tonight and Nadine sent a little tweet to let the world know why she couldn't make it. It's like the ultimate 21st century digital RSVP.

And so, for one day perhaps, the tabloids and celeb mags will be hushed about that apparent 'rift' they seem so keen on chatting about when it comes to Girls Aloud.

And so, to our 'lovely Sarah H', have an absolutely awesome party. And to the ever-charming 'Nadineworldwide', thank you for that tweet. You've warmed the hearts of Girls Aloud fans everywhere.

Sarah Harding goes Gothic!

Well, Miss Harding, I certainly did not expect this! Only a week or so after everyone's favourite girl-band blonde stunned us by going brunette, Sarah Harding has now gone one step further with a stunning gothic, black look for a series of HTC adverts. I've always had a soft spot for Sarah but she looks absolutely amazing here - This kind of edginess suits her so well, it's slick, modern and very, very sexy.

More pictures like this please Sarah!

A very happy engagement for Sarah Harding

I’ve always loved Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding, so when I heard she had got engaged, I was over the moon for her. Sarah had been a bit quiet in the Girls Aloud stakes recently, what with all the Cheryl and Nadine news, so it was a great time to remind us all what an awesome person she is. I’ve always adored her feisty attitude, the way at times she could seem a law unto herself, and then on other occasions displaying a more subtle, emotive side. Sarah is the Girl that, come an interview, you can always count on to pop up with some genius comment or memorable quote. Her acting roles are dead cool too, especially the film Bad Day (which more people need to go and see, because it’s awesome).

Sarah’s a girl who’s unabashed love for the likes of Primal Scream and the Stone Roses might seem out of place in a traditional girl band, but then again, that’s what made Girls Aloud so amazing, that they were so much more than that. Sarah brought that indie cool to the band, attending NME award shows and hanging out with the Arctic Monkeys. There’s something defiantly British about her and the ever-changing length of her hair is always a source of fascination. Whenever I’ve been to see Girls Aloud live, Sarah and Cheryl were the always the ones you’d have the most eyes for. They just knew exactly how to work the crowd.

So here’s three cheers for Sarah and Tommy, the prospect of two Girls Aloud weddings in a year is very exciting (and who knows, we might even have three if Justin pops the question to Kimberley too...).

You can also catch Sarah on Living TV’s Dating In The Dark very soon!
