Girls Aloud for the high jump

POP outfit GIRLS ALOUD are to split, I can exclusively reveal.

The five-piece girl band, who scored two No1 singles and two Top Ten albums, will go their separate ways next year following a string of furious rows.

A source close to the girls said: "They just don't talk at all — it's over for them. There's always been a rift in the band.

"Nadine and Cheryl don't talk, there is no communication. There's also a rift between Sarah and the others."

Nadine and Cheryl's problems are thought to be the last straw for the band, who have just finished their sell-out UK tour.

The source added: "Nadine has been saying that Cheryl thinks she's VICTORIA BECKHAM, especially after hanging around with Posh during the World Cup.

"And the other girls reckon Cheryl feels that she's above them — they don't think her heart is in the band any more." 

The revelation comes after Cheryl spent the summer with the England WAGs in Germany, where fiancé ASHLEY COLE, 25, was playing in the World Cup. 

While there, it was clear that she became bosom buddies with former captain DAVID BECKHAM's wife Victoria, 32. 

CHERYL TWEEDY, 23, NICOLA ROBERTS, 20, KIMBERLEY WALSH, 24, NADINE COYLE, 21, and SARAH HARDING, 24, shot to fame after winning ITV's reality talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.

But now the most successful female band since the SPICE GIRLS will release their last album — a Greatest Hits compilation. 

The source said: "They will split next year. 

"They've decided to go their separate ways because things have got so bad between them. They keep trying to outdo each other and it's got ridiculous." 

DES-PAIR FOR GEMMA

SOAP beauty GEMMA ATKINSON has got something to get off her chest, chaps... 

Apparently, since her breasts were boosted from 34B to 34D six months ago the actress has not managed to bed a single fella!

Now the Hollyoaks star, who split with her Emmerdale lover CLEVELAND CAMPBELL in January, is bursting to give her new boys a test drive. 

She said: "I spent a fortune and no one's seen them properly. I've shown them to my girl mates but they haven't really been tried out yet." 

So that makes Gemma — featured in the 200th edition of FHM, on sale now—desperate for a new, er, squeeze. 

JEN GOT VIN-GAGED

I AM delighted to announce that JENNIFER ANISTON has got engaged to VINCE VAUGHN. 

Rumour has it that the Wedding Crashers star proposed to Jen while they were in Paris promoting their new rom-com flick, The Break-Up.

The former Friends actress was said to be close to tears as Vince got down on one knee. 

And bizarrely, I can also reveal that Jen has invited her ex-hubby BRAD PITT's family to the wedding. 

A source close to the Hollywood couple revealed: "Jen has invited Brad's mum and sister but not him. She's asked COURTENEY COX to be her matron of honour. 

"She hasn't decided on a venue yet though." 

Jen found love with Vince last year while they were filming in Chicago. 

Funnyman Vaughn was her first fella after divorcing Brad, who is now happily with fellow big screen golden girl, ANGELINA JOLIE. 

The Primrose Hill set have got nothing on these guys. 

DEPP LIKES RED WHINE

JOHNNY DEPP refused to turn up to the Pirates premiere last week unless his No1 red wine was supplied. 

So four crates of Chateau Calon Segur 1970 — £80 a bottle — were ordered for Johnny. 

The other stars were allowed to drink the same wine...but only from years 1995 and 1997. 

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY

No wonder KEIRA KNIGHTLEY described her co-star as fuddy-duddyish. Well, who wouldn't be after guzzling all that posh vino?
