Don't stop movin': S Club 7 got back together for the first time since 2002 last night to support member Jon Lee as he starts his new starring role in Jersey Boys


They were the squeaky clean seemingly perpetual youngsters at the height of their fame - but S Club Seven showed that time waits for no man - nor manufactured pop act - last night.

The band caught up with each other for the first time since their 2003 split to celebrate former member Jon Lee taking over the starring role of Frankie Valli in the smash hit West End musical Jersey Boys.

For the first time in nine years, all seven originals reunited to try their best popstar poses again - but it was new mother Rachel, 32, who dazzled in a sparkly sequin dinner jacket and satin heels.

Growing up: Paul, left, joined Jon and S Club 3 bandmate Bradley backstage after the performance of Jersey Boys

The old days: The band just before Paul Cattermole, third left, quit the band in 2002


However, the attention was almost stolen from her by Paul Cattermole, 34, as the former teeny boppers lined up.

He certainly showed he was more of a man nowadays when he got back together with his former bandmates after watch Jon perform onstage at the Prince Edward theatre.

Yummy mummy: Rachel and husband Alex Bourne were having a rare night out without four-month-old baby Amelie


Paul - who before S Club had various jobs including postman, butcher, theatre
doorman, dustman and toilet cleaner - was actually first to leave the band when he quit in 2002 to join heavy metal band Skua.

However, they failed to have much attention and in 2008, Paul together with bandmates Jo O'Meara, 31, of Celebrity Big Brother racism row notoriety and Bradley McIntosh, 29, got back together as S Club 3.

Paul also dated fellow bandmate Hannah for six years, but they split in 2006. She is now engaged to her boyfriend of four years and Primeval co-star Andrew-Lee Potts.

Breathe in: S Club 7 reunited (l-r) Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee in his Frankie Valli red coat, Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh and Hannah Spearritt

He's a Natural: Jon, centre, who first hit the West End stage aged 13, is the new star of Jersey Boys about Sixties band Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons

Reach: Jo and Hannah give former bandmate Jon some big S Hugs


Most recently, they played a sell-out gig at the University Of Hull on 18 March, a concert hailed by local media as 'the comeback of the century' and 'the best thing to happen to Hull since John Prescott starred in the Moneysupermarket.com adverts.'

Hannah Spearritt, 29, meanwhile has been busy bothering dinosaurs on ITV1's Primeval since the split, while Tina Barrett, 34, is apparently trying to launch her solo career.

Rachel meanwhile, who had a successful solo career after groups disbanded, came second on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008, won rear of the year in 2009 and gave birth to her and businessman husband Alex Bourne's first child Amelie in November last year.

S Club party:Beauties Rachel and Hannah have had great success off the back of the band

S Club girls: The ladies of the crew enjoyed having a catch up over a glass of champagne


S Club Seven - masterminded by Spice Girls svengali and Simon Cowell's rival Simon Fuller - had a clutch of Number Ones throughout the UK and Europe - including classics Don't Stop Moving and Never Had A Dream Come True.

They recorded a total of four studio albums, released eleven singles and went on to sell over seventeen million albums worldwide.

Ain't no party like an S Club party: The gang seemed to have a blast back together


Jon began his West End odyssey in Jersey Boys on 15 March. He'll be alternating with Ryan Molloy who enters his fourth year in the multi award-winning show.

Jon has a long history with the stage, and played the title role in Oliver! at the London Palladium when he was 13.

Recently, he has starred in musicals including Les Miserables.

She's been working away in Hollywood for several years, winning acclaim for stellar performances in films like Bright Star, Stop-Loss and Somersault.

Odd casting choice: Jennifer Garner is set to play amateur detective Miss Marple in a Disney reboot


When thinking about casting the part of an elderly spinster from a small English village who solves crimes in her spare time, Jennifer Garner is not the first name that one would expect to come to mind.

But the glamorous 38-year-old Hollywood actress has just been announced to star in a Disney reboot about the much-loved heroine of Agatha Christie's novels.

The actress, best known for her roles as the catsuited superhero Elektra and in a slew of fluffy romantic comedies.


Jane Marple, the amateur sleuth from St. Mary Mead, is depicted as an elderly spinster, most famously by Margaret Rutherford in the 1960s film versions of Agatha Christie's 12 crime novels.

Angela Lansbury also played the iconic character in the 1980 film The Mirror Crack'd, while Joan Hickson took on the role for the BBC television movies.

Novelist Christie based the character on her own grandmother, recordings of the author discovered in 2008 revealed.

Another type of crime fighter: Jennifer Garner in her skimpy costume for 2005 action film Elektra


Miss Marple first appeared in print in 1927 in a story published in The Royal Magazine. The first novel based on the crime solver the Murder At The Vicarage in 1930, followed by 11 more novels.

Disney has hired Twin Peaks writer Mark Frost to transform the classic story for an American contemporary adaptation.


Icon: The character was most famously played by Margaret Rutherford in the 1960s films


Garner, who shot to fame in 2001 in TV series Alias, recently starred in another remake, Arthur, with Russell Brand and Helen Mirren.

She will be seen in comedy Butter alongside Hugh Jackman, House actress Olivia Wilde and Twilight star Ashley Greene next year, and is currently filming fantasy The Odd Life Of Timothy Green with Dianne West and Joel Edgerton.

Scandal: Hundreds of intimate photos of Christina Aguilera have been offered for sale after she left her memory card in a French hotel


Hundreds of intimate photos of Christina Aguilera have emerged after she apparently left her camera's memory card in a French hotel.

The images are said to show the singer in various intimate situations, including at Nicole Richie's bachelorette party and in bed with her new boyfriend Matthew Rutler.

The photos, dated from June to November last year, surfaced when they were offered for sale to a U.S. website by a man who alleged he had found the lost card in an upscale hotel.


The website claims to have seen the 'romantic' shots of 30-year-old Aguilera and Rutler.

A selection of images reportedly show the new couple kissing passionately in a variety of locations. Another shows them lying in bed together.

The couple met last year on the set of Burlesque, where Rutler worked as a set assistant. Aguilera split from her husband Jordan Bratman in October last year.

Fifteen of the shots show Aguilera at her friend Richie's bachelorette bash in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last September.

According to U.S. website Radar, which was offered the images for sale, they show her with flowers in her hair, smoking a cigar, drinking, and posing with the bride-to-be.

Richie is also allegedly pictured in a bikini near the beach with a blow-up male doll strapped to her, and drinking champagne.

The website also reports that images show Aguilera in a series of compromising poses, including mimicking oral sex on a banana, dancing on a table, posing with naked men, and posing for before-and-after make-up shots.

This is not the first time Aguilera has seen her private photos made public.

In December a series of images showing her in various stages of undress were published online.

The revelation of the new photos comes just a few weeks after Aguilera's arrest for public intoxication, with recent U.S. media reports saying the star’s friends have been encouraging her to enter rehab for some time.

A spokesman for Aguilera did not respond to a request for comment.

It's only been in the cinemas for a few days in the US but it has already been giving a slating by the critics.

So Vanessa Hudgens and her Sucker Punch cast mates will be hoping for a better reception when it's released in the UK this Friday - and have jetted in just to make sure.

The actress, 22, was snapped arriving at Heathrow airport this morning for the London premiere tomorrow night.

And despite her long transatlantic flight, Miss Hudgens looked fresh-faced and was in a bouyant mood as she left the airport and made her way into town to check into her hotel.

She was joined on the flight by co-star Abbie Cornish, but the film's other stars Jena Malone and Jamie Chung arrived on an earlier.

And either the cast are visiting other European cities on their promotional trail or Vanessa's planning to stay in the UK for quite a while.


You sure you've packed enough? Vanessa wheels an over-loaded trolley of suitcases through LAX as she checks in to her flight to London


She was seen wheeling an over-loaded trolley of suitcases through LAX yesterday and seemed to find it quite amusing.

Vanessa is no strangers to planes this week having jetted off to Las Vegas to celebrate the film's release.

On her return, she was seen at the LA Lakers, displaying her belly button piercing as she sat alongside her pal Josh Hutcherson and watched the game


Whoop whoop: Vanessa Hudgens gets over enthusiastic at the Lakers game in Los Angeles, throwing up her fists in joy


And the star couldn't hide her excitement throughout the game as she danced and chatted to her pal Josh.

The friends also grabbed a snack together when they got hungry and feasted on pizza slices.

Vanessa was first spotted showing off her belly ring in 2009 while on a beach holiday with her former boyfriend of four years Zac Efron.


Lakers are for lovers: Vanessa wore her sister's good luck T-shirt to the game, which her sibling tweeted about after the match

Crazy chaos: Justin Bieber left his French hotel today to a deafening sound of hundreds of teenage girls screaming for him


Justin Bieber is used to crowds going crazy wherever he travels to, but his French fans took it to another level today.

Hundreds of girls surrounded his hotel in Paris, eager to get close to the 17-year-old heartthrob.

The screaming girls got their cameras ready as they clambered by his tour bus as security guards desperately tried to keep them back.

Beliebers: The young girls camped outside his hotel and tour bus and had their cameras poised ready to snap when their idol emerged


When the pint-sized pop star appeared, it was like a flashback to the 1960s at the height of Beatlemania.

Dressed in distressed black jeans, a purple T-shirt and black buttoned down sweater - Justin waved to his adoring fans as he made his way to his tour bus to travel to Bercy concert hall.

Bieber was surrounded by his entourage and security guards who walked behind him and either side of him to keep him safe.

I love him: Some of the girls were hysterical and sobbed when they could not believe their luck at laying eyes on the Baby star

Hysterical: The girls consoled each other as they watched Bieber walk out the hotel to go to perform at his concert tonight


But the young girls were red-faced and sobbing their hearts out at the mere fact at being within the same vicinity as the Somebody to Love hitmaker.

Some of the girls can be seen burying their faces in their hands while consoling each other as the tears rolled down their faces.

Yesterday he made a more discreet exit from his hotel as he prepared to continue the European leg of his tour.

Tres chic: Bieber was dressed in black jeans, a purple T-shirt and black buttoned down sweater on his way to Bercy concert hall

Stay back: Security was tight as they struggled to control the growing crowds of fans


Willow Smith will not be his opening act, she has returned to the US after supporting him during the UK portion of his concert series.

Bieber wore his favourite black jeans and a green hooded sweater with YMCA in block yellow writing inscribed on the front.

As the One Less Lonely Girl singer continues to break hearts in Europe, back in the U.S., his hair has been given its own bodyguard and is being held under tight security.

On the move: Justin emerged from his French hotel yesterday as he continues his My World tour across the globe

Hair-raising charity: Justin Bieber's shorn locks from his recent infamous haircut sold for $40,000 on eBay and is on display tonight at Lucky Strikes Lanes in Miami under very tight security

When the Baby singer recently cut his famous shaggy hairstyle into a shorter choppier 'do, the famous locks were kept and stored in a glass container and signed by the star.


The fuzzy brown locks were sold for $40,000 during a special charity auction on eBay and its now going on its own tour around the country making special appearances.

It is also going to go on display at Lucky Strikes Lanes in Miami where Beliebers can pose with the hair of their idol - but only if they donate money towards the Japan tsunami relief effort.

Fans have been lining up for hours to even be close to the strands of the teen's hair.

Last month, Bieber hit out at the American healthcare system during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

He said: 'You guys are evil. Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills.

'My bodyguard's baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.'

Bieber's My World tour originally started in the U.S. last June. He is now travelling around Europe, then Asia, Australasia and the Caribbean.
