Rachel Stevens postpones wedding for 'Strictly Come Dancing'

Rachel Stevens has postponed her upcoming wedding.

The former S Club 7 star was due to marry Alex Bourne this autumn but has cancelled her plans so she can concentrate on British TV talent show 'Strictly Come Dancing', a decision which reportedly upset her fiance.

A source told Britain's Star magazine: "Alex feels really put out. He proposed to Rachel and she said yes, and they planned to get married later this year. It's clearly not going to happen now.

"Rachel is really ambitious and puts her career first. Their wedding is on hold and saying Alex is slightly miffed about that is an understatement."

The singer has been dating Alex - who she went to school with - for over a year, and has admitted starring in the show has forced her to rethink her marriage plans.

Rachel said: "I did think about trying to squeeze a wedding in during the show, but there was just no way. It will have to wait until it has ended."

The 30-year-old star is partnered with Vincent Simone, who reached the quarter finals of the show two years ago, and is delighted to be starring in the show as her career as stalled since she left S Club 7 in 2002.

The source added: "The chance has come at a welcome point for Rachel because she wasn't getting many offers. Rachel tried to explain that to Alex - who also hasn't had much work recently. But he felt she should have told the producers she would do the next year instead."

Rachel Lauren Stevens (born April 9, 1978) is an British singer, actress and occasional model. She is a former member of the successful pop group S Club (7), and launched a solo recording career in 2003 with having released seven singles and two albums in the UK until 2005: "Negotiate With Love" and "I Said Never Again But Here We are" albums.

Pigeon Detectives release new single"

'Say It Like You Mean It’ is the new single from Rothwell boys The Pigeon Detectives, released on 20th October on Dance To the Radio. This single can be found here, in their last album "Emergency".

The release will precede the band’s forthcoming UK headline tour which sees them up and down the country in November and December, including their biggest ever London date at Alexandra Palace. The single is taken from the gold album 'Emergency’ released earlier this year and features two unlikely cover version across the formats as well as live and demo versions of the song. Huey Lewis and the News’ 1985 (ahem) classic 'The Power of Love’ gets the Pigeon’s treatment. Also featured will be Hot Chip’s 'Ready For The Floor’ which the band played on the Radio One Live Lounge earlier this year (and which will feature on the forthcoming Radio1 Live Lounge vol. III compilation released by Sony BMG this Autumn).

After a huge UK tour in the spring, followed by lots of festival appearances over the summer the band took a well deserved break (of about 10 days!). They went to the US early September, starting on the East Coast (filming the video for 'Say It Like You Mean It’ in NY), travelled to Toronto for a festival alongside Oasis and the Foo Fighters (squeezing in a date with The Kooks), and then go back to the US (West Coast) this week. The band return to headline The White Air Festival on the Isle of Wight on the 20th September, go to Japan for two dates then return to Europe to play for a couple of weeks before the UK shows. They’ll have plenty air miles to use over Christmas.

Pigeon Detectives are also known for such albums, like "Everybody Wants Me", "Live De La Semaine Dvbs" and "I Found Out".

John has reportedly been upset he doesn’t getting the same amount of media attention since splitting from Hollywood beauty Jennifer.

One paparazzo said: "John thinks he's as famous as Jennifer now. Last week, he went to a party, tipped off the paparazzi, and even had decoy cars at the ready when he was leaving.

'Nice, but no one bothered to follow them, which made John think he 'lost' everyone, when really it was because no one bothered to follow him."

Another source says that since recently wrapping up his tour, John has been in Miami pining for Jennifer.

The source said: 'Miami reminds him so much of the good times he had with Jen, so it was really weird. He just didn't seem himself. I'm not sure if he is really over his breakup with Jennifer.'

The last album of John Mayer was "Where the light is" rock album, released in 2008.
