The Girls Aloud singer is well known for her good looks, but she told French website Get The Look that it isn't always just about how you look on the outside.

The 'Call My Name' star said that sometimes no amount of makeup can beat some inner gorgeousness. She said:

"You can wear all the make-up you want, but beauty comes from within. A lot of people say it's a cliché, but it's so true."

Cole continued: "If you feel beautiful inside, you can tell. So you need to feel comfortable within yourself, which is definitely not always easy - but you should try!"

Despite the inner beauty talk, the singer is long associated with makeup company L'Oreal and she was recently in Cannes to promote the brand.

The 18-year-old ‘Party Over’ star told Javari.co.uk “''I have a lucky pair of shoes I wear to perform, I wore them on the Girls Aloud tour... the one night I didn't wear them I lost the hearing in my ears ... I came off stage and knew it was the shoes ... so now I'm kind of paranoid about always wearing them!''

The pink-coiffed singer also talked about her “X Factor audition shoes”, a pair of coral brogues she wore on her first appearance for the talent show.

''I will never throw away my 'X Factor' audition shoes, they're so worn out and full of holes but every time mum tries to throw them out I go crazy,” she revealed. “I keep them in a satin box in my bedroom.”

The diverse line-up will make up part of the programme for A Day At the Park, an event featuring children’s entertainment from The Gruffalo, Horrible Histories and Braniac.

The show will be a part of a series of events called the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time. The series already boasts performances from Elton John, The Rolling Stones and Bon Jovi along with a variety of activities for ticket holders to enjoy.

President of International Live Touring and AEG Live Rob Hallett used the new announcement as an example of how the series will be fun for the whole family:

"Junior can be enthralled with the Gruffalo and your daughter can scream at JLS while your parents dance around to The Beach Boys. Everyone’s happy!" he said.

Explaining the song, Frankie said  “Gentleman is a totally different sound for us but it feels like a natural progression from 'What About Us.’” Mollie added, "who knew you would hear The Saturdays rapping? We had so much fun in the studio messing around on this track!”

The accompanying video sees the girls not only as glamorous housewives but also dressed as their male love interests. Rochelle says: "In the video, you definitely get to see us in a completely new light…dressed as men! It was definitely our most fun video shoot yet.”

Speaking exclusively to Rolling Stone magazine, the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper explained that once he realised he could control big groups of women with his power he "put an organization together" and dealt them out to his friends and athletes for a fee:

"I put an organization together. I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten bitches on it. I could fire a bitch, f**k a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer."

Referring specifically to the interest his services would garner from athletes, he added: "If I'm in a city where where the Denver Broncos or the Nuggets play, I get a couple of they players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number. A lot of athletes bought pussy from me." 

Despite working as a pimp, Snoop admitted that he never kept any of the money he made and gave it all to the girls: "I'd act like I'd take the money from the bitch, but I'd let her have it. It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp . . . As a kid I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bitches to match. I said, 'F**k it - I'm finna do it.'"

Writing on the social networking site this afternoon (May 2), Minaj asked out of Kree, Angie, Candice and Amber (all pictured left) who her followers think is the most relatable and talented: "Let's take it to another place. Who would truly be successful in mainstream America, who would u hang out with as a friend. Send 2 names..."

She then confessed that she believes in all four girls and will even buy all of their records when they graduate from being contestants on the popular TV vocal talent show, adding: "I will buy all 4 albums. It's so much more for me. I've seen them grow and remain humble. I've seen them take advice. RLly am proud of them."

The Girls Aloud singer picked up the punishment today (April 16) after pleading guilty to driving whilst using a mobile phone on April 4.

She has also been fined £500 and was ordered to pay £105 in other costs as the Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court made their verdict.

Harding, who already had nine points on her licence for speeding tickets, was seen making a phone call whilst driving in central London earlier this month.

Her lawyer argued that she was lost after finishing up a business meeting.

Harding said in a statement after her verdict: "Too many people use their mobile phone whilst driving and think its acceptable. It is not. Every year people die or are seriously injured because they were distracted making that 'oh so important call'. Mobile phones are a convenient tool for modern life but they must be used safely. I made a mistake by using my phone whilst driving, but I was lucky. I accept the courts penalty but it could have been a lot worse. I have learned my lesson."

The boyband have become global heartthrobs since leaving the X Factor in 2010, with Styles in particular gaining a womaniser reputation.

Speaking to Tiger Beat, however, Louis Tomlinson admitted that he is often called in to help his bandmate pick up women. He said:

"I am Harry's wingman. I do help the other boys talk to girls they like. There is a lot of that."

The 'Kiss You' star added: "I'm the really blunt one, so if Harry wanted someone's phone number I'd be like, 'Basically, Harry wants your phone number'."

Tomlinson is currently dating girlfriend Eleanor Calder and is one of three members of the band with partners.

The Girls Aloud singer will follow bandmate Cheryl Cole in selling an autobiography full of her life stories.

Walsh revealed the news via Twitter on Tuesday (April 9), telling her followers:

"Also I am very excited to announce that I will be releasing my official autobiography in September! #aaarrgghh."

The book will be published by Headline, with no exact release date yet forthcoming.

The star has previously gone on record to dismiss the idea of writing a book, stating:

"I really don't feel it's something I would ever want to do...I always wanted to keep a bit of myself back and I think I've managed to find that balance. I'd never want to feel like I was exposed."

The pop group recently called it a day for good after completing their 10th anniversary reunion tour.

Speaking to LOOK magazine, Harding said that in the band, she and Nadine Coyle were the most interested in vocals and music, suggesting that the other members were more keen on other aspects. She said:

"Me and Nadine are more music-orientated – more vocals – and the other three are more about dancing. I'd put my foot down about the music side of things. Nicola was more about the clothes. Choreography is Cheryl's forte. When there's five of you, it's difficult to have a say in everything. I'm looking forward to having more control."

The 'Sound of the Underground' star also touched on Nadine Coyle's recent revelation that she wanted Girls Aloud to continue. Harding said:

"I was unaware she even felt like that. At no point did she try and stop us, so you'd have to ask her why she did that."

The Script frontman signed up to feature on talent show The Voice UK last year and he is due to appear on the second series, which airs tonight (March 30).

Speaking to The Sun, O'Donoghue said that being on mainstream television has helped him reach a new audience of adoring females. He said:

"Being on TV is like an accelerator."

The singer continued: "The girls in the street that would pass you by are the same girls stopping and going fanatical over you. And you get a real kick out of it. Do I kiss the girls? Of course I do. I'm a living, breathing man. If I weren't in the public eye I wouldn't get the same action I do now - I've got a face like a foot."

As previously reported, the pop group called it a day after their final 10th anniversary tour show in Liverpool on Wednesday (March 20).

Nadine Coyle has already gone on record via Twitter to suggest that she was keen for the group to keep going.

Nicola Roberts has given her thoughts on the situation, thanking fans for their support. She said on Thursday (March 21):

"Forever Alouder's..Thankyou from all the corners of my heart. You made my dreams come true when I was so young, we are a decade in and you've given us more than I ever imagined. Memories & Dreams that I will hold in my heart forever. Sisters who I will never let leave my side. Who only could have known how crazy our journey would be but we have the best fans in the whole wide world beside us. This is true.."

The singer continued: "Today has been teary and my eyes are swollen. Its the start of a new chapter, lets smile and celebrate what we did together. Love u. Forever an Alouder. Nicola x."

Kimberley Walsh meanwhile hinted that she will continue to go solo, tweeting:

"To our Alouders, Just wanna say please don't be sad today we have had some amazing years together and we should be celebrating the incredible memories. I will always be there for you all and I know you will for me. This is just the beginning of a new journey and it's gonna be fun. Love you all for your unconditional support."

As previously reported, Cheryl Cole worried fans last night (March 20) by tweeting that the band were about to play their "last show", thanking fans for their support.

In a long tweet posted just hours after the group performed in Liverpool, Girls Aloud indeed confirmed that they will be splitting up for good. They said:

"Dear Alouders, we just want to say from the bottom of our hearts Thank you!! This tour has been an amazing experience and the perfect chance to say thank you for being on this journey with us through a decade. It has far exceeded any of our dreams and we hope we are forever your inspiration and reminder that dreams really do glitter!! Your love and support will stay with us forever but we have now come to the end of our incredible time together. Love you lots."

Girls Aloud formed in 2002 after winning TV show Popstars: The Rivals.

The 'Biology' stars were due to perform at the O2 Arena in Dublin on March 17, but have now released a statement explaining that it's no longer possible for them to honour the commitment:

"Unfortunately, due to unforeseen time restraints with the transportation of production equipment between the Irish & UK tour dates, the extra Girls Aloud concert added on Sunday 17th March 2013 at The O2 has been cancelled."

The ladies also revealed that the date won't be rescheduled to a different date because of how their tour has been planned in terms of locations and routes: "Due to tour routing it has not been possible to reschedule this date."

Fans will be eligible for a full refund if they bought tickets for this particular concert or will be able to exchange for a different Irish date as Girls Aloud are still due to perform in Belfast on March 13-14 and at Dublin's O2 Arena on March 16.
