The Saturdays star Frankie Sandford 'in talks to be judge on UK X Factor

The Saturdays star Frankie Sandford is in talks to be a new judge on The X Factor, it has been claimed.

The 22-year-old singer apparently impressed producers with her stunning looks and outspoken opinions, with executives believing she would make the perfect addition to the panel.

And bosses think Frankie would be the perfect celebrity to replace Cheryl Cole if she leaves the programme to work as a judge on the U.S. version of the show.

A source told The Sun: 'Frankie has all the right ingredients for an X Factor judge - she looks great, she can hold her own and she's been there.

'The Saturdays have had to work hard so she knows what the wannabes are going through.

'Just like Cheryl, Frankie is young and glamorous and someone the contestants can relate to.'

If she lands the prestigious job, Frankie will undoubtedly shoot to fame as the nation's new golden girl.

And her girl group background isn't the only similarity Frankie shares with Cheryl.

In the same way Cheryl was married to Ashley Cole when she started as a judge on the show, Frankie is currently dating footballer Wayne Bridge and is now considered one of the country's most fashionable young WAGs.

However, following reports she was attempting to model herself on Cheryl and emulate the Girls Aloud star's career, Frankie came forward to insist she was happy enjoying her own success.

She tweeted earlier this week: 'Hahah!!! appears im off to Marbella this summer, growing my hair, working on a solo album and tv presenting!!!

'The Saturdays keep me busy enough....And im more than happy being me!!! :) If there was still any doubt....its all rubbish! lol.'

A spokesperson for the show declined to comment on whether Frankie is in the running.

Victoria Beckham to name daughter Santa?

Victoria Beckham is considering naming her new daughter Santa, according to reports.

The 36-year-old, who already has children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and 6-year-old Cruz with husband David, allegedly wants to name her new baby after the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica.

A source told The Sun: "Posh thinks Santa Beckham has a lovely ring to it and wants something unique.

"David prefers something traditional, but will probably go along with what she chooses."

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has announced that he would like to create a "fly" fashion line for babies with David.

The 39-year-old said: "I'd love to do a babygro range with baby shoes with Beckham. It's going to be fly. It's great news they are having a baby."

The hip-hop star also revealed that he's going to teach the 35-year-old how to rap.

He added: "Whenever I make a record I give him a copy before it's done.

"He's like a brother. I'm gonna show him to rap. He's my boy. I love soccer just as he does hip-hop. Beckham needs to keep doing what he's doing. He's a great father."

David previously admitted that his friendship with the rapper is "weird".

The Saturdays dare to bare in tiny shorts in Hollywood

The Saturdays clearly packed for some superhot weather judging by the wardrobe they've been wearing on their trip to Los Angeles this week - so the girls will be disappointed to hear that the climate's now better back home.

After spending the day yesterday in skimpy bikinis as they frolicked by the pool at their hotel in Hollywood, today, the girls were seen heading to a dance studio in teeny-tiny short shorts.

Rochelle Wiseman, 22, was wearing a candy-coloured checked shirt, cut-off denims and nude platform peeptoes.

Meanwhile Vanessa White, 21, was going for titchy black shorts, a white T-shirt with a black claw mark across the front, and like Rochelle, lace up peep toe platforms and aviator shades.

Mollie, 23, was wearing a brightly striped sleeveless top and miniscule denims whereas bandmate Una Healy, 29, was in white and blue floral Own The Runway shorts and a tight black vest top.

They looked like they'd taken clothes more suitable for a few days ago, when LA was experiencing record temperatures for the time of year.

The band flew out to the States on Monday, ostensibly to work on their new video, but there's been little sign of any action so far.

However, it seems the girls were going to rehearse their dance moves to go along with the promos for the new single today after a couple of days of shopping and sun.

The band will be hoping that the new track will land them that ever-elusive Number One.

So far, the best the girls have managed is Number Two with singles Just can't Get Enough and Forever Is Over, both in 200

As for the new track, they've yet to reveal the title, but have hinted that fans can expect a 'different' sound from them, with Rochelle teasing: 'You guys are in for a treat'.

The band shot the video for their last single Higher in LA too.

The new track will be the first taste from the girl's fourth album, which is also as yet unnamed and is due for release later this year.

Rachel Hurd-Wood: 'Twilight the new Peter Pan'

Rachel Hurd-Wood has suggested that the Twilight series owes a debt to Peter Pan.

The British actress, who played Wendy Darling in the 2003 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic story, spoke to DS about Hollywood launching several Pan projects to compete with the Twilight saga.

"Well, I think Twilight is the new Peter Pan if we're going to look at a timeframe," she said.

Discussing the lasting appeal of Peter Pan, Hurd-Wood added: "It's an incredible story, it's timeless and it's classic and it's a story that's in everyone's hearts and minds. Everyone grows up with that story, so in that respect I suppose that's why people want to keep doing it.

"That and Twilight have that thing in common, there's that unrequited love or that love that can't be. I think that's prevalent today; it's going to be a timeless theme. I think that'll probably be why [Peter Pan] keeps coming back."

'Essex' Lydia Bright 'dumps James Argent'

The Only Way Is Essexx stars Lydia Bright and James 'Arg' Argent have reportedly split.

According to The Sun, the pair, who appear together on ITV2's reality show, had a public argument at co-star Harry Derbidge's 17th birthday party, after Argent accused Bright of behaving jealously.

A witness said: "Lydia really kicked off at Arg and things were very tense between them.

"She ended up asking his best pal Mark Wright for advice - even though it's no secret she doesn't approve of Arg seeing him all the time.

"Mark told her straight that her jealousy is getting out of hand - and said Arg needed a break from their relationship. Lydia was really upset but ended up taking Mark's advice and told Arg she thought they needed space."

An insider at the show added: "Things are very rocky between them at the moment.

"Officially they are still together but who knows if that will still be the case in a day or two."

Amy Childs 'wants Wright, Goodger invite'

Amy Childs has said that she is hoping for an invite to Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger's wedding.

The Only Way Is Essex couple, who split last July, reportedly became engaged earlier this month after being reunited.

Writing in her New magazine column, Childs revealed that she would like to serve as a bridesmaid on the big day.

"I've always said there's something between them," she said. "I knew they'd be back together one day."

She added: "I just hope that I get invited to the wedding. Can I be bridesmaid?!"

It has been claimed that the couple are faking their romance and are now cashing in on magazine deals about their rekindled relationship.

Wright's ex-girlfriend Kayla Collins has claimed that Wright has made a "mistake" by proposing to Goodger, stating that he will be "unhappy".

Selena Gomez quizzed over "brother" Bieber

Selena Gomez has laughed off a past comment she made describing Justin Bieber as a "little brother".

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress was quizzed about rumours suggesting she is romancing Bieber during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday.

DeGeneres opened the questioning by playing a clip of Gomez's past appearance on the show, during which she brushed off speculation of a romance, comparing the 'Baby' singer to a family member. "What do you have to say now?" she asked Gomez.

"Don't take me to jail!" responded the actress. "I don't know! I don't know!"

As the 18-year-old dissolved into giggles, the host went on to suggest that Gomez and Bieber had been trying to hide their romance until going public at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February, joking that Gomez had made a "fool" of her.

"I really didn't!" said Gomez. "I promise you I didn't! He's just sweet!... I didn't lie to you, though. I will say that!"

The star didn't directly comment on her current relationship status with Bieber, who is on tour in the UK, but did agree with DeGeneres when the host suggested that a little brother isn't someone you would want to date.

"Well, no," she said. "That would be weird and wrong."

Gomez is currently promoting her new single 'Who Says?' and has said that she will launch her first headline tour this summer.
