Rachel candids: Walking down Oxford Street
Rachel Stevens isn’t one to let pregnancy get in the way of her daily errands and the mother-to-be was out and about in central London today showing off her bump. The 32-year-old has turned pregnancy into her latest fashion accessory, by having one of the most stylish maternity wardrobes out. The singer and actress has been a big fan of maxi dresses throughout her pregnancy and despite Britain’s summer coming to an end, that hasn’t stopped the star carrying on the trend.Source: Daily MailDespite the cool weather, she wore a floor-length floral halter-neck down Oxford Street along with her favourite tan oversized cardigan. Rachel was noticeably agitated by being spotted though and tried to hide under her large sunglasses and flowing hair. The consistently stylish star married actor Alex Bourne last year and announced her pregnancy in May. But the couple has decided to keep the sex of their baby a surprise so will have to wait until November to find out.
She recently said: ‘Neither of us mind what we have but most people think that I’m having a girl, but I really don’t know.’ The Strictly Come Dancing star also admitted that she’s been giving into her cravings for margarita pizzas and Big Macs and loves her growing bump. But despite her care-free diet, Rachel is still in tip top shape and is looking fit and healthy.

Jon in Perez Hilton's blog
Jon is featured in Perez Hilton's blog because of his gay interview.
See the entry and a picture
here.
Well, we certainly hadn't heard from them in a while! But for this news, we think it's pretty justified! Former S Club 7 singer Jon Lee has announced that he is gay! He recently spoke to GT Magazine about keeping his sexual preference on the the DL, and his ideal man! He says:“If someone had said ’are you gay?’ I would have said yes, but no-one ever did. I’ve never felt the need to leap out of the closet singing and dancing about it. I’ve always known I was gay, from a very young age. I came out to my friends and my family at a very young age, so for me it’s always been my life and it’s never needed to be a huge change that I’ve had to tell everyone about. If you are in the public eye I think people feel like they have a right to know, feel like they have a right to ask and that you should be completely open and honest about all these things. And I think it depends. Obviously you have to be good looking, not an utter rotter, but someone who’s just happy in themselves you know? That to me is attractive. And someone to make me laugh. If you can make me laugh you’re halfway there really.”
We think he makes a pretty decent point, and we're happy he finally spoke openly about it! Congratulations, bb! And we don't think you'll have ANY problems finding an attractive man! Thoughts??

Rachel's Twitter
Lately there's been lots of fuss about Twitter accounts claiming to be Rachel but the ones I've seen are not
real so don't follow. Rachel is probably on Twitter and Facebook but since she hasn't shared them with us means
she wants to keep them personal. Maybe she'll get public accounts someday and when that happens, she will inform us about it.

Jon in GT
However you look at it S Club were a bit of a guilty pleasure. Arguably brilliant pop tunes and three not what you’d called unattractive guys in the group equals win. GT Investigates....Source: GayTimesBut after five years, numerous hit singles and albums, a plethora of TV shows and a feature film the S Club party was over. How did it all end? With Jon Lee doing a backflip and throwing up offstage at G-A-Y, that’s how. We’re sat in east London chatting over coffee and he casually drops in that the groups last ever gig was at the capital’s biggest gay night club. “A dodgy burger,” he explains as the reason for the upheaval in the wings. Straight out of S Club, he managed a week off before spending a year playing his dream role, Marius in Les Miserables. “My family took me to see it when I was 13 or 14,” he recalls, “I remember seeing it then and thinking ‘I want that role’.” Since leaving that production he’s been living in LA for a year (this time without the other six and the film crew that made up one of their TV shows, LA 7), which he describes as “kind of the start of my health kick.” Oh hi fit body!
“It’s not everyday you get oiled up in your pants and have someone taking pictures of you,” he deadpans about his GT shoot. Following a recent stint in Casualty, I have that British problem of not being able to pigeonhole him. Singer? Actor? Lets go with Wikipedia – it calls Jon an ‘entertainer’. “Oh does it? Good old Wikipedia,” he grins. “I’ve always done everything, I trained in musical theatre as a child, my first job was in musical theatre, S Club happened by accident, really, I was 15 at the time I’d just taken my GCSEs I was at Sylvia Young theatre school, I was looking in the paper for colleges to go to and I saw the ad for the audition for S Club and thought “oh, I’ll go for that”, and got it, and that was it really.” And, I remind him, you end up being partly responsible for keeping Madonna off a number one spot.
“I think we did it twice actually,” he corrects me with a cheeky smile. “It was our little claim to fame, but then we got buggered by erm… “ he starts singing “I’m blue dabba dee dabba da” [Eiffel 65], they kept us off number one so… It’s not really a lot to shout about to be honest.”
Jon to star in a new play
West End stars Jon Lee (formerly of S Club 7) and Julie Atherton will star in a major new fringe production of British composer Laurence Mark Wythe's award-winning musical Tomorrow Morning, which will run at Clapham's Landor Theatre from 19 October to 13 November (previews from 12 October).Source and more: What's On StageAs one couple prepares to walk down the aisle, another couple is about to divorce. As the clock strikes 12, it becomes clear that this is one couple separated by a decade and nobody is sure that they're doing the right thing.
Rachel in North London
Rachel Stevens keeps her pregnancy stylish as she combines comfort with Breton chic Since announcing her pregnancy three months ago, Rachel Stevens has been wearing a variety of stylish maternity wear. But as she feels the strain of her ever growing belly and opts for more comfortable clothes, the former pop star gives a nod to fashion with her bang on trend Breton blazer. The ex-S Club 7 singer, who is six months pregnant with her first child, used her striped blazer to dress up her casual Lycra T-shirt and leggings as she ran errands in north London.Despite the bad weather, the busy mum-to-be looks determined to complete all her tasks as she picked up her dry cleaning and visited various shops. Stevens and her actor husband Alex Bourne, who she married last year, announced her pregnancy in May. The couple have decided to wait until the birth in November to find out the baby's sex. She said: 'Neither of us mind what we have but most people think that I'm having a girl, but I really don't know.'
Stevens admitted she had been broody for most of her life and couldn't wait to become a mother. She told OK! magazine: 'I've always known that I wanted children. I love children and I feel really calm around babies.' Throughout her pregnancy, the Strictly Come Dancing star has been craving pizza and McDonald's. She explained: 'I love margarita pizza at the moment. I also crave Big Macs - I hadn't eaten McDonald's for about ten years but every time I pass a McDonald's sign my mouth starts watering.'

Rachel: Contender for most stylish mum-to-be
It's obvious Rachel Stevens is feeling jubilant and fully enjoying being a soon-to-be mum. Choosing both style and comfort the former S Club singer stepped out in North London donning a dark-blue maxi dress and beige cardigan. The ensemble couldn’t be more flattering to the 32-year-old while subtly showing off her ever-growing baby bump. Already five months into her pregnancy Rachel has made it clear that although her body is going through a transformation she couldn’t be happier with the way she looks. Husband Alex Bourne agrees that his wife looks amazing in her new body and is “thrilled” at becoming a dad.Source: Hello
Bradley wants S Club 7 back together
Bradley McIntosh is trying to reunite S Club 7 - and wants former bandmate Rachel Stevens to get back in touch. Inspired by the success of Take That, the Don't Stop Movin' star is keen to get Rachel, Jo O'Meara, Paul Cattermole, Hannah Spearritt, Jon Lee and Tina Barrett back together to relaunch the group. But Bradley - who is currently writing for the Pussycat Dolls - revealed at the Karaoke 'Pot Idol' party in London, where the new Sticky Rib Pot Noodle was launched, that he is not in touch with all his former bandmates. He admitted he and expectant mum Rachel hadn't spoken for years and he would love her to call him. Bradley said: "I haven't spoken to Rachel in a very long time. I'd like to say to her 'congratulations'. I'm always there - 'Uncle Brad'. I've got a lot of love for everyone in the group."Source: The Press Association
Glowing Rachel shows off her growing baby bump
Five months into her pregnancy, it appears as though Rachel Stevens has got her maternity wardrobe figured out. The glamorous star stepped out wearing a maxi dress, which seems to have become her go-to outfit for comfort and style. Wearing a navy blue version, which she paired with a tan oversize cardigan and cream Chanel handbag, the singer popped out for a coffee in North London.Source: Daily MailWith only four months to go until her due date in November, Rachel's 'uniform' is the perfect choice for her already sizeable bump. She has been spotted wearing a purple and a white tie-dye version of the dress in recent weeks. Rachel looked deep in thought as she parked her car and walked into a shop. The 32-year-old may have been pondering the news that former band mate Bradley McIntosh reportedly wants S Club to reform. The Press Association reports that McIntosh is inspired by the success of Take That and is keen for a reunion with Rachel, and Jo O'Meara, Paul Cattermole, Hannah Spearritt, Jon Lee and Tina Barrett.
Bradley says: 'I haven't spoken to Rachel in a very long time. I'd like to say to her "congratulations". I'm always there - "Uncle Brad". I've got a lot of love for everyone in the group.' The other original S Club members are yet to respond to Bradley's request, but for now Rachel seems to be enjoying impending motherhood. She told OK! magazine recently that she is enjoying her new curves: 'My body's going through lots of changes and I love having a bump,' she said. Husband Alex, who she married last year, agrees, adding: 'I love curves and I think she looks fantastic especially knowing that she's carrying my baby.'
Bradley had a meeting with Sky

New design
First of all, hi everyone, finally I've got a new design up. It's totally different from every other layout
I've ever made and I hope you like it as much as I do. It's very practical as well, I love having all the official
links, twitters, facebooks and myspaces easily there. It's also the first layout to feature S Club 3.
The best view is with Mozilla Firefox or Google Crome, if you are using IE or Opera you miss out my cool new font :) Nothing serious though, just a tiny artistic detail.
Second of all, sorry for the quiet phase over the past few days, I had some trouble accessing the sites. I've posted all the news I've missed though, so enjoy those.

Jon at Noel Sullivan's party
OH NO! Birthday boy Noel Sullivan seemed to be launching his own supergroup of former teen stars as he celebrated his 30th. Noel was joined by Aaron Renfree from S Club 8, Steps' Faye Tozer and Jon Lee from S Club 7. Singer pal Charlotte Church, 24, and former Hear'Say bandmate Myleene Klass were also on the guest list. Noel and Myleene, 32, sang their biggest hit Pure and Simple during the Cardiff bash. Charlotte also performed at the Robin Hood pub, once run by her mum. Yesterday she had brunch with friends including singer Jonathan Powell, 23. Her spokesman denied there was any romance but pals say they're becoming close.

Rachel: "I've Always Wanted To Be A Mother"
Pregnant Rachel Stevens says she'd wanted a baby for 30 years. The former S Club 7 singer is expecting her first child with husband Alex Bourne, and is thrilled about becoming a mother. Rachel, 32, knew she wanted a big family from a young age and always feels at ease with little ones. "I've always known that I wanted children. I love children and I feel really calm around babies," she gushed.Source: MusicRooms.netWhen asked for how long she'd been keen to have a baby, the pop star joked: "About 30 years!" Rachel has been enjoying pregnancy so far and is using the occasion to binge on her favourite foods. The beauty is normally strict about what she eats and is often voted as having one of the sexiest bodies in showbiz, so she likes having the chance to let her guard down. "I love margarita pizza at the moment," confessed the star, who has also taken to visiting the fast-food chain McDonald’s in recent months. "I also crave Big Macs - I hadn't eaten McDonald's for about ten years but every time I pass a McDonald's sign my mouth starts watering," admitted Rachel.
Swell Rachel works-out
PREGNANT Rachel Stevens isn't going to let her burgeoning baby bump get in the way of a work-out. The former S Club 7 star, who is expecting her first child with hubby Alex Bourne at the end of the year, patted her tummy as she went for a power walk with a pal near her London home. Rachel, 32, is in the process of selling her luxury garden flat in the pricey Primrose Hill region. The property, worth £1.1million, includes a combined living, dining and kitchen area, two bedrooms and a small patio. The couple, who married in August last year, are in the process of buying a bigger family house.Source: The Sun
