HOLLY VALANCE - VALANCE TO PLAY CINDERELLA?

Struggling pop beauty HOLLY VALANCE has been offered $54,000 (GBP30,000) a week to star in a pantomime in Britain this Christmas (04).

The KISS KISS singer, who turned 21 yesterday (11MAY04), is in the throes of a career crisis following dismal sales of her second album STATE OF MIND and only managed number eight with her eponymously named last single in November 2003.

Since her poor sales performance and bad album reviews, the former NEIGHBOURS soap actress' future with record label WEA is looking grim, with record industry sources warning she will soon be dropped.

However the production company responsible for a majority of Britain's celebrity pantomime productions, has offered Valance thousands to star in a show for this year's (04) run.
