Right then, welcome to another installment of saving celebrities money, the column that picks a celeb at random and breaks down their spending habits to see how much extra money we could save them. So far we have managed to add about 2 million to David Beckham’s bank account and a whopping 5 million back in the purse of the lovely Katie Price.

Today we are going to be looking at trying to save the lovely lads from JLS some cash. If you're not familiar with the boy band JLS, or Jack the lad swing in full, they are the cheeky chappies who smashed their way through to the x-factor finals and came runners up to Alexandra Burke in 2008. The nation was wholly disappointed when the final results were announced, but everyone pretty much knew that it doesn't really matter who wins the 1 million pound recording contract as the runners up are usually the one's to grab the last minute record deal and storm the charts.

So, lets get started with the money saving, only i feel this time it's going to be a little more about warning the fella's before it's all gone as apposed to giving them a grilling for spending to much.

Don't you know we've come to far now

Just to go and try to throw it all away.....these were the iconic lines from the legendary boy band east17 and it's almost like this line was written for JLS them selves. There are a lot of similarities between east17 and JLS, there are 4 members in each, errr thats about it really, but you know what I mean. Anyway east17 had it all and fairly shamelessly lost it all, splashing the cash on wild nights out and expensive cars etc. The worst part to the east17 story is that after the band has come to the end of their road as the UK's leading boyband from Walthamstow, they lost all their hard earned money and went back to their day jobs, roofers, brickies and plasterers. Let this be a warning to you JLS, don't splurge it on women, drugs and cars cos before you know it, you'll be back in Percy Ingle asking the old lady with the pink rinse if she wants the usual. Total money saved, who knows but i think we can safely say we have saved JLS a considerable amount of east17 style embarrassment. 

Have a little patience

It's clear to the country that the boy's from Take That have truly made a massive comeback and without a shadow of doubt are infinitely better the second time around. Their style has changed, the songs are more meaningful and dramatic and I for one am a big fan of there's right now. JLS have to take something away from this. What it is, I'm not entirely sure, but I reckon there are a few obvious lessons to be learned. Back in the beginning of Take That's journey to stardom they were up for anything and everything and that to me was one of their biggest mistakes. The crazy party boy nature and fast paced life caught up with them after a few quick years and ultimately led to the downfall of the group. They had it all, took it for granted and lost the whole lot, maybe not the money for all of them, but the status, the pride that came along with being at the top. JLS need to take this on board and almost work themselves round to being a more mature band, like Take That V.2, without all the drama that TT have had. They should take notes from Girls Aloud, they really seem to have cracked it. The perfect band, without the carnage and breakups which inevitably lead to the lose of everything. Total saving, again not too sure, but cutting out the rehab, breakups and drug problems has to be a good thing. Stay grounded and chilled lads and you will go far.

Let's stay together

So far the boys show nothing but unity as a group and this is going to play a massive role in the success of the band. JLS need to hold on to that togetherness and not let it slip. It sounds harsh but they need to be mindful of girls, record label bods and basically anyone who is going to tell them how great and right they are no matter what the consequences because to those types of people, it's unfortunately all about the money. Remember this lads, it's paramount to your existence as a group, especially the women part. As soon as a girl or two get involved, the group is pretty much done, this is why you need a good run, and then just like some of the best shows on TV come to and end on a high. This is obviously extremely hard to do though because as long as you are making money, the label is going to keep the JLS machine churning until it falls flat on it's face. Be very aware of this, and make a solid decision as a group right now, before you get started. Just like a gambler must know their limits, so must any good band that wants to go down in history as one of the greats. Savings off of keeping it together, hard to measure but this advice will surely be extremely valuable in the long run.

So as expected a bit of a different slant to the normal celebrity money saving articles, but fun nonetheless. Total JLS savings include embarrassment, rehab trips and crazed girl fans trying to pull the band apart.
