Harding: I'm off to make it in the States

Updated 12:05pm on 25 Feb 2009


Following in the footsteps of her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding has also set her sights on working in Los Angeles - to focus on song writing. Last night the singer declared: "I'm going over to LA soon to do a bit of song writing. It's going to be amazing and I have my eyes set on working with Linda Perry from the 4 Non Blondes, I just think she is amazing."

Solo: Sarah Harding has her sights on LA

It should perhaps come as no surprise that Sarah, 27, is channelling her energy into solo projects, as both Nadine Coyle and Cheryl Cole are also doing the same.

Blondes have fun: Jo Wood and Sarah Harding hit the town

Sarah also told us that she is putting her acting classes over the past year to good use and is to star in a film produced by her cousin.

Sipping glasses of champagne at Henry Holland's fashion week afterparty held at Quaglino's in Mayfair, she added: "I said that I was going to do a bit of acting last summer and finally I'm going to star in a film called Bad Day.

It's being produced by my cousin and at the moment it's in the early stages, as we still need more of a cash injection.

"It's going to be really good but it is a small-budget film. I still want to sing but I think that it's harder to balance both in the UK rather than America."

Sarah attended the party with her DJ boyfriend Tom Crane but left shortly after to continue her night at Mahiki in Mayfair. We spotted her in deep conversation with Jo Wood in the VIP area of the club. Our spy told us: "Sarah was hardly drinking much because she was chatting loads to Jo."

Jo was looking rather worse for wear and had to be guided around a lamppost outside by Sarah on their way out. Oops!

So exactly how many songs has Sarah Harding written so far? I didn't realise ANY of them were song-writers, I thought they all just pranced up and down in front of a microphone ......

If that is what she wants then good luck.
The only thing I would say, is that when British stars decide to go abroad to earn more, or get out of paying British taxes, which in effect is kicking those who supported them in getting where they are in teeth. Fine, but don't expect to come back to Britain when it all goes wrong, and you are no longer getting the money/adoration you desired.
You get those, who do not want to live in Britain, yet still want to make use of their fame to get what they want i.e football matches which genuine supporters go to every week, yet when it is a cup final or where tickets are hard to get hold of, then the everyday supporter does not get them, yet stars do.

Oh dear, Lisa from London, the tired old "you must be jealous argument". What a crashing bore you are. It is possible to have an opinion on the merits (or otherwise) of individuals regardless of whether one is jealous of their so-called achievements. And I agree that most people would take the money but that doesn't mean for one second that it is deserved.

Ladies,

Surely if you were given the opportunities these girls have been given you'd do the same thing?

I can only assume you are a little jealous of these supposedly attractive, rich and successful girls.

Please, can't the whole useless lot of them go there and stay there?! They're not a band, they don't play instruments they're just 5 supposedly attractive girls whose 15 minutes really was up ages ago.
