Atomic Kitten taking babies on tour


Atomic Kitten are taking their babies on tour.
The 'Whole Again' hitmakers - who are set to hit the road next year to celebrate the group's 15th anniversary - have revealed that members Natasha Hamilton, 32, and Kerry Katona, 34, will both be taking their tots with them.
Natasha gave birth to her fourth child, Ella, with her husband, Five singer Ritchie Neville, in September, while Kerry has an eight-month-old daughter Dylan-Jorge with her husband George Kay.
When asked if they would take the youngsters on tour, Kerry - who also has four other children, Molly, 12, Lilly-Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and Maxwell, six, from previous relationships - said: "The babies more than likely, the other kids no because they've got school - they need stability. They'll come to the gigs in England but flying away, no. It costs too much."
Natasha - who also has Josh, 12, Harry, nine, and Alfie, five, from past relationships - added: "It will be funny - George and Rich doing Kiddie crèche."
Meanwhile, Liz McClarnon is the only member of band yet to have children and prefers to keep the details of her relationship under wraps.
However, the 33-year-old singer confessed she is scared by the idea of having babies and isn't ready to get married just yet.
When asked if being around her bandmates' kids has made her broody, Liz explained: "For about ten minutes when I see a baby girl. It scares me. I'd have to be caught out. I don't think I could plan it."
And on the subject of tying the knot with her mystery man, she said: "Frigging hell, no way, jeez! No, no, no."
The girls decided to go on tour following their successful stint on ITV2's 'The Big Renion' last year.
Natasha said: "We did The Big Reunion and it was a complete success. We saw some of the boybands go off and do their thing and its just what we wanted to do. This year, me and Kezza had babies, so now we can actually do it and we're so excited."

Carrie Underwood feels pressure from unborn baby


Carrie Underwood's toughest critic is her unborn baby.
The 31-year-old singer is pregnant with her first child, a son, and admitted she feels under pressure to impress the foetus when she sings because he cannot escape if her vocals are bad.
She explained: "I feel like he kind of feels ... he hears me singing whether he would like that or not. I mean, that's what I do, he doesn't have a choice."
The 'Something in the Water' singer - who is expecting the baby with her hockey playing husband Mike Fisher, 34, who she wed in 2010 - said the pressure is especially strong because she feels like the child is always listening.
She added: "I do feel like I have to sing good all the time. Like, if I'm just in my car driving, I feel like I have to make it good because he's listening. He's always in there."
Carrie - who rose to fame after winning 'American Idol' in 2005 - also joked her parents weren't very excited when they found out the star was expecting a child, because her siblings have already had several children of their own.
Appearing on 'The Tonight Show', she said: "I have lots of nieces and nephews so my parents were obviously very happy, but they've heard it all before. They have great grandchildren. I'm slow."

Victoria Beckham believes in ‘creative visualisation’


Victoria Beckham fulfils her dreams through the mental technique "creative visualisation".
The former Spice Girls star's eponymous clothing label was named Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last week and she believes her success can be partly attributed to the positive thinking process she adopted to become the "best version of herself".
Speaking to the new UK issue of Grazia magazine, she said: "I had a dream many years ago and I focused and worked hard and I believed in creative visualisation.
"It's about doing what feels right. I'm not trying to be anybody else, I'm just trying to be the best version of myself.
"I want to make women feel good and empower them - as long as they like what I'm doing, I'm happy."
The technique is detailed in Shakti Gawain's book 'Creative Visualisation' - which has sold over six million copies worldwide - and it requires individuals to use mental imagery and affirmation to produce positive changes in their lives.
Victoria - who is married to David Beckham - also admitted the win was so unexpected, she hadn't prepared a speech.
The 40-year-old star added: "It was really emotional because I just wasn't expecting it. Everybody else who got up had notes but no one told me to make any."
And Victoria is hoping her success will inspire others to strive to achieve their dreams.
She said: "Twelve seasons ago who would have thought this possible? Probably no one.
"But this shows, if I can do this, you can do this. If anybody can be inspired by what I've achieved, that's great."
