Calvin Harris: 'Saturdays lack vision'

Rex Features

Calvin Harris has reportedly taken a swipe at The Saturdays for turning down one of his songs.

According to The Mirror, the chart-topper originally offered the girlband his ‘Ready For The Weekend’ single but was rejected by the group.

The tabloid quotes him as saying: “The thing is, being the guy who makes music and sends it out to people, eventually someone is going to say no. I offered it to The Saturdays but they didn’t want to use it. Obviously they didn’t have the vision.

“I’ve heard the Saturdays aren’t that great live. I see they haven’t developed live Auto-Tune yet – it must be in the works.”

Harris has previously revealed that The Saturdays also turned down his ‘Holiday’ track, which eventually went to Dizzee Rascal.

The Saturdays in Demand for Artistic Charity Campaign

The public selects….. The Saturdays!

The Saturdays are some of Britain’s most in-demand celebrities according to a national poll conducted for the charity campaign Pushing the Envelope.

The poll reveals which celebrity they would most like to see design an envelope for the charity campaign which raises money for the National Literacy Trust and is funded by Pitney Bowes.

On 2 November 2009, a host of celebrity-designed envelopes will be auctioned on eBay as part of the sixth annual ‘Pushing the Envelope’ charity campaign. In the past, many celebrated entertainers, authors, illustrators and artists have lent their support, including Kate Winslet, Bruce Forsyth and Damien Hirst.

Saturdays single ‘penned by Busted star’

Saturdays single 'penned by Busted star'

The Saturdays’ new single ‘Forever Is Over’ was written by former Busted star James Bourne, it has emerged.

The girl group, who are currently putting the finishing touches to their second studio album, reportedly paired up with Bourne to create a “rockier” sound distinct from their labelmates Girls Aloud.

“‘Forever Is Over’ will be the song which finally distances The Saturdays from all the Girls Aloud clones remarks,” a source told the Daily Star.

“It’s totally unlike anything they’ve ever done before. It’s a big ‘F*** you’ to a boyfriend after a break-up, and sounds like nothing Girls Aloud would ever release either.

“Everyone around the band is very excited as they’ve really started to hone their own sound. James wrote all of Busted’s number ones, and a massive bunch of McFly hits too, so he knows what he’s doing when it comes to pop and rock with a mainstream edge.”

The Saturdays reportedly threatened to go on strike recently after claiming that their management were working them too hard.

‘Forever As One’ will precede the girl band’s second album, scheduled for release in October.

Saturdays star 'walks around naked'

Mollie King has revealed that her friends are unsurprised to find her walking around the house naked when they visit.

The Saturdays singer said that despite being comfortable with no clothes on, she is not interested in exposing herself to the paparazzi, The Sun reports.

King said: “I am always walking around naked. When people walk in, they say, ‘Oh God, Mollie’s nude again’.

“I guess I’m not very British like that, although I wouldn’t flash my pants to any photographers.”

Earlier this year, King promised to “give GaGa a run for her money” with a “raunchy” video for The Saturdays’ fifth single Work’.

The Saturdays confess to diva strops

The Saturdays have admitted that they are known to behave like divas when things annoy them.

Bandmember Una Healy, 27, revealed that she makes her feelings known if she doesn’t receive high standards of service when eating out.

She told Celebs On Sunday: “I’m most diva-like in a restaurant – if I get put on a table that’s too close to someone else, or it’s not in the area with the nicest lighting. I’ve been known to walk out before.”

Meanwhile, her fellow singer Frankie Sandford, 20, confessed that she saves her outspoken antics for her relationship with McFly star Dougie Poynter.

“I think girls are always a bit diva-ish with their boyfriends,” she explained. “Me and Dougie keep getting pictured with him carrying loads of bags. It’s like: ‘He’s a gentleman, he carries my bags’.”

The girls recently made headlines after allegedly threatening to go on strike following a dispute with their record label.
