The hits have dried up, you don't fancy starring on a reality show and you've got a drink/ drugs/ gambling/ shopping addiction that needs financing. What do you do if you're a washed-up pop star? Some manage to go out and get themselves a 'proper' job (rare, but not completely… read more…

Now, Glitterditch likes attention as much as anyone else. We have our superstar poses down. In fact, we might well have won a pretty paparazzi competition: Glitter works with flash.
