The next series of ‘Popstars’ will be more like ‘Pop Idol’.

The series is expected to search for two bands instead of the usual 1 pop outfit. This time around, the hunt will finally create one all female and one all male group. For that to take place, it will also have to depend on how talented the people who go for the auditions are.

Running over a period of 17 weeks over the summer, ‘Popstars 2′ will see the public helping to decide who gets into the bands.

In addition, the public can help chose the bands’ names.

The primary try-outs are expected to begin in the next few months.

So for those of you promising future stars or if you think you’ve what it takes to be sensationalised, just like Hear’Say, Sugar Jones, Eden’s Crush, Bro’Sis and more, then be sure to get to the auditions. Live your dreams guys!

Jason Donovan, interviewed by a magazine, said that he would be willing to produce a novelty pop record with the hopes that it could get him back in the UK charts.

The singer who has of late completed filming a new movie in Australia based on the world of horse racing admits he’d like to become a pop star again, after spending all these years trying to alter his image.

“I spent four years in my home studio, experimenting because I was sick of being this perfect pop star. I spent days listening to everything and making mad tracks which never really got finished. People just like a bit of nostalgia. I don’t think people are so hung up about what category of music they like any more. So what if you like cheesy pop? I’ll trawl through the back catalogue while people are interested” Jason said.

Jason also mentioned he has no plans to recreate his famous mullet hairstyle of the 80s.

“I think the mullet has to be balanced. It is a very specific style. If you are receding, a mullet is not a good look. You need to be thick of hair at the front with a decent weight down the back. It’s not a hairstyle to be tampered with. Jon Bon Jovi killed the mullet for a while there with his soft rock version. Mine held up well, as I used extensive products to keep its shape and I had someone on the Neighbours set who tended my hair.”

Based on what the ex-manager of the Spice Girls, Simon Fuller, who is back on speaking terms with the ladies said fans of the Spice Girls might actually get to see them perform at an one-off gig come 2004 to celebrate their 10th anniversary and he hopes to release a greatest hits LP that’ll feature all their nine No.1s.

He said “To me, the Spice Girls will always feel unfinished. There was no specific reason why it all went wrong and no malice on my part.”

Meanwhile, Melanie B is in for a brutal shock. Her ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar, 34, plans to divulge just about everything about his turbulent life with his ex-wife in a controversial hour long documentary that’ll be shown on BBC come 10th of May.

According to a magazine, a source said “After years of enduring questions about his sexuality, jibes about his lifestyle and endless speculation about his every aspect of his private life, Jimmy has decided to set the record straight.”

Jimmy, nicknamed as Jimmy Goldcard by all in Mel’s family, reportedly spent his GBP620,000 on divorce settlements and is close to being homeless. Now with the documentary, Jimmy’ll get a fee of GBP15,000.

Also failing to launch a pop career of his own, Jimmy said “This documentary allows me to tell things from my point of view and finally right a few wrongs.”

Mel is now in a relationship with actor Max Beesley and is working on her autobiography.
