Melanie C, Peter Andre and The Sugababes are among the celebrities to be showcasing their talents in hit musicals in the name of the acclaimed charity Children In Need. Taking place from September 10th to 15th, Melanie C will sing We Are The Champions in We Will Rock You, Peter Andre will perform Unchained Melody in Ghost The Musical and The Sugababes will sing Dancing Queen at the finale of Mamma Mia on September 15th.

Peter Andre commented, “I was so impressed when I went to see Ghost The Musical. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. So when I was approached by BBC Children In Need to get involved, I jumped at the chance and just hope that I can do it justice! The cast are great so it’ll be so much fun working with them and raising money for an amazing cause all at the same time.”

Ghost The Musical tickets are still available online.

The news of Peter Andre’s daytime TV appearance comes following rumours that he has split with his current girlfriend, although other tabloids have speculated that the two are now back together.

Peter Andre is touring the UK this month, playing at Crealy Park in Exeter (August 13th), Market Rasen Race Course (August 20th) and Newmarket Racecourse (August 27th).

Peter Andre tickets and tour dates are available online.

The former husband of infamous model Katie Price raises three children – three-year-old daughter Tiaamii, six-year-old son Junior and nine-year-old stepson Harvey. Andre, who recently released his eighth album, Accelerate, said, “This means a huge amount to me as being a dad is my most important role.” The accolade aims to “Reward the celebrity dad who has impressed the nation by balancing a hectic public life with the demands of parenting.” Premier Inn’s Claire Haigh commented, “His attitude towards work, spending quality time with his kids, and his likeability factor has clearly struck a chord with the voters.”

The singer, whose second single from the new album, Perfect Night, is released on July 9th, beat off competition from Gary Barlow, Elton John and David Beckham to win the title. He is performing a series of shows throughout the summer.

Peter Andre tickets are now on sale.

Robbie Williams has been suffering from low levels of testosterone and has been injecting a ‘sex hormone’ twice a week to increase them. Robbie admitted that it had given him a “second wind”.

Ab-tastic Peter Andre imparted his pearls of wisdom for the testosterone weak Williams: ”Rob, I’ve got one word of advice – Viagra,” he said. “I tried it when it first came out and it was hilarious.”

Take That Tickets and Tour Dates are available online.

The single JLS star told the Daily Star that he would have “nothing to lose” by appearing on the ITV1 dating show hosted by Paddy McGuinness.

“I suppose I’m going to have to go on Take Me Out to find someone,” he quipped. “I think I’d be a bit self-conscious going on the show, but I’d definitely try it. I’ve got nothing to lose.”

However, Merrygold admitted that his mother is worried about the 30 girls all turning their lights off on him.

“I was talking about it the other day with my mum,” he said. “She said she wouldn’t want me on the show as she’s scared I’d get all my lights turned off. It would be embarrassing.”

Last month, it was revealed that Kerry Katona is dating property developer Dan Foden who recently appeared on the hit series.

McGuinness previously told Digital Spy that he would like to do a one-off celebrity special and said that he would like to get Peter Andre and Keith Lemon onto the programme.

N-Dubz will return to Guilfest for 2011, playing on the main stage on Saturday evening, after successfully playing the festival last year.

And providing a welcome enhancement to Sunday’s varied main stage line-up is reggae artist and eldest son of a certain dreadlocked rockstar, Ziggy Marley.

The already incredibly eclectic GuilFest line up will continue to grow over the coming months to a massive 200 bands performing across 7 music stages over the 3 days of the festival.

Writing in his column in New magazine, Andre revealed that he had been invited to perform his hit single ‘Mysterious Girl’ with the group Bring Your Sisters.

“The place we stayed in, Hotel Saint Louis, was lovely and there was lots of après-ski entertainment,” said Andre, 38. “One of the bands was called Bring Your Sisters, who I renamed Bring Your Blisters because of the state of our feet.

“They were really good, but when they asked me to sing ‘Mysterious Girl’ with them I was too shy so I had to say no!”

Peter Andre tickets are available online

The singer – most famous for his songs Mysterious Girl, Insania and Behind Closed Doors – will perform live in a stunning outdoor setting in the heart of summer.

Having released his album Accelerate in November, Andre is currently supporting the LP and its subsequent singles – as well as writing new material.

Peter Andre tickets go on sale on Friday for the Haigh Hall Country Park concert, with all other UK tour dates available now.

Haigh Hall Country Park, Wigan – 1st July
Christchurch Park, Ipswich – 10th July

The Australian pop star will perform at UK arenas throughout the remainder of November and December and tickets are still available, with prices starting at around £28.

Peter Andre tickets are available for shows at Cambridge Corn Exchange, Birmingham LG Arena, Cardiff International Arena, Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, Belfast Odyssey Arena, Brighton Centre, Bournemouth International Centre, London O2 Arena, Glasgow SECC, Sheffield Motorpoint Arena and Manchester MEN Arena.

Judging by fans’ concern during his August Twitter hiatus, something was clearly afoot, and a few days ago he posted this exciting update: “i went a bit AWOL . Been recording new album and fighting off this bad flu but all good.“

There is a new Peter Andre album on the way, and if it’s anywhere near the quality of recent works Revelation and Unconditional: Love Songs, fans are in for a treat.

Thankfully, he will preview a great deal of these songs live on a UK tour this winter, and Peter Andre tickets are on sale now for the following concerts:

November 26th 2010 – Plymouth Pavilions
November 29th 2010 – Ipswich Regent Theatre

Peter Andre tickets are available for shows at Birmingham LG Arena, Cardiff International Arena, Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, Belfast Odyssey Arena, Brighton Centre, Bournemouth International Arena, London O2 Arena, Glasgow SECC, Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, Sheffield Hallam FM Arena and Manchester MEN Arena in December.

Ticket prices start at £25 for both Scotland shows, whilst tickets for all other shows start trading at £26.

Each features exactly what it says on the tin. Saturday showcases some of the best-loved musicians from the 1980s, such as Billy Ocean and Hot Chocolate, while Sunday features massive modern names such as Westlife and Peter Andre.

Best of all, proceeds from Midlands Music Festival tickets go to a wonderful cause. The charity Just 1 Life aids mothers and babies affected by premature birth across the Midlands, and will benefit hugely thanks to the generosity of these pop stars. Day tickets begin at £29.50 from Gigantic, while weekend tickets will cost £50.

The full line-up for the event is below:

Saturday 17th July 2010: Back To The 80s

Billy Ocean

Not many could rival this for sheer weirdness though: 50 Cent has told the Sun newspaper that he would like to record a new version of Peter Andre’s huge hit Mysterious Girl with the singer, saying, “It’s like ‘YMCA’, one of those songs everybody knows. Girls like it and it gets them up dancing. Pete seems like a nice guy and maybe, with the right remix, we can get him a number one in the US as well as Europe this time.”

The longer you think about it, the more you think it could work…

50 Cent and Peter Andre are both heading out on separate tours of the UK, with Andre’s tour ongoing. He plays the following dates:

March 06th – London, IndigO2

A spokesman said, “We could have filled 100. In total we have shifted 70,000 tickets at £24 a pop, not to mention all the merchandise sales. I had three of the UK’s top promoters working on the sales alone. Peter now holds the record for the fastest-selling show at the Indigo club at London’s O2 Arena.”

Speculation is mounting over whether Peter Andre will announce an Arena tour that would also be expected to sell out in minutes.

Several thousand Peter Andre tickets are currently trading in the secondary market.

The final line-up for the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship that takes place from December 18th to January 3rd in Alexandra Palace in London has finally been decided.

72 players from all around the world will compete for £1m in prize money – the richest event in the history of darts – and a first prize of £200,000.

14-time world champion Phil Taylor remains the man to beat though expect challenges from Raymond van Barneveld, James Wade, Mervyn King, John Part and Andy Hamilton.

The top 32 players from the PDC Order of Merit will all take part along with qualifiers from around the globe. One disappointment for the fans will be the omission of female darts star Anastasia Dobromyslova after she lost in the final of the Russian playoff tournament.

Andy Murray won his opening match of the Montreal Rogers Cup against Jeremy Chardy.

Andy Murray was back to winning ways in his first competitive match since Wimbledon at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal, otherwise known as the Rogers Cup.

After receiving a bye in the first round, Andy Murray took one hour and 33 minutes to beat Jeremy Chardy 6-4, 6-2.

After the win, the world number three Andy Murray claimed that he needs to work on his match sharpness and wants a good run of games in this tournament especially as he has been in Miami to work on his game in the weeks leading up to the Rogers Cup.

He also admitted that the match was tougher than the scoreline suggests, claiming both players had their chances but Jeremy Chardy made a few more errors and Andy Murray was able to raise his game when needed.

Andy Murray will now face Gael Monfils or Juan Carlos Ferrero in the Montreal Rogers Cup third round.

Another top seed playing his first match of the tournament was world number one Roger Federer. A rain delay forced Roger Federer to wait for his return to tennis action since Wimbledon and had a tough time against his second round opponent Frederic Niemeyer.

Roger Federer came through winning 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 whilst Frederic Niemeyer, who is retiring at the end of the season, played with the spirit like he had nothing to lose and even saved three match points before Roger Federer eventually wrapped up the win.

Roger Federer reflected on his opening match, saying he was pleased with his performance as he played the big points well, especially as his opponent was playing in front of his home crowd.

Another player playing in front of his home crowd was Peter Polansky, who gave the world number four Novak Djokovic a run for his money in the second round of the Montreal Rogers Cup.

Novak Djokovic looked far from his best as he beat Peter Polansky 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) and will face either Mikhail Youzhny (who beat the 14th seed Marin Cilic) or John Isner in the ATP Montreal Masters third round.

Scheduled to play later today are the world number six Juan Martin Del Potro against Jan Hernych, world number five Andy Roddick against Igor Andreev, and the world number two Rafael Nadal against David Ferrer.

As the tennis season draws to a close, the world’s top eight players will battle it out to be the champion of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which takes place at the London O2 Arena from November 22.
