X Factor victors Little Mix have had a rollercoaster of a ride since they won the show last year…
And not only did the girls win the hearts of the nation, Little Mix band member Perrie Edwards also won the heart of One Direction’s Zayn Malik, who, for a few months, was romantically linked to fellow finalist, Rebecca Ferguson…
However, as numerous girls have already found out, being amorously linked to a member of 1D isn’t without problems, given that jealous girls across the globe target any of the 1D boys’ girlfriends online and single them out for hateful – and sometimes scary – messages.
But despite the fact that Perrie was subjected to abuse from Zayn’s fans when her relationship with him went public, she denies that the haters were the reason she closed her personal Twitter account.
During an interview on This Morning, and when asked directly by host Phillip Schofield if abuse from 1D fans was why she closed her account, Perrie said, “No, That wasn’t the reason…” Read more & comment »

“Finally, I haven’t got out too badly.”
Of her cancer battle, Kylie added, “Over time, people have a tendency to forget about it. Not me.

Ahead of Britney Spears taking up her new role as a judge on X Factor USA, she has presented the show’s bosses with a list of demands, which seem to get more bizarre – not to mention longer – by the day!
Her latest request is that she be assigned a spiritual advisor who can be on-hand to help her make decisions when she first takes up her role.
Additionally, Entertainment Wise report that Britney is said to have already requested that her dressing room – which is actually more of a dressing mansion – be stocked with 34 Herve Leger dresses, 12 Snickers bars, 6 cases of Diet Coke, 10 bags of Doritos, 12 vases of magnolia blossom, 10 pieces of chicken and 4 pints of potato salad.
A source said to be close to Britney told Closer Magazine, “There are some rules, such as no random people approaching her – no runners or production staff, no one telling her she has to be somewhere at a certain times… Read more & comment »

“Loads of fans have been in the hotel lobby – and some of them even check in. I don’t know how they can afford it…” Read more & comment »

Radio 1 DJ and The Voice co-presenter Reggie Yates has told Heat magazine that he’s not at all concerned over the fact that The Voice has been losing viewers week on week since it launched.
And in a glass-half-full sort of an interview, Reggie insisted that the show’s ratings are “much better” than they should be, given it’s only in its first series.
Which really is either Reggie being fiercely loyal or terribly naïve, given that the last live show was watched by just over 5million viewers, which is a full 50% less than the figures when the show first began.
Nonetheless, when asked if there had been any crisis talks at the BBC over the figures, Reggie said, “Honestly, we’ve not spoken about it and I don’t think we will.”
He added, “I didn’t get into this to be on the most watches show on TV, and even if we did get five million, like every over show has got on their first series, it would still be the biggest show I have ever done… Read more & comment »

She said, “Stephen and I had a really big personality clash and we couldn’t really work together.
“But on that last task we’d both had enough of arguing with each other and we hadn’t had enough sleep and all the pressure that was on his head was filtering out.
“It was just a bit of a nightmare. I thought, ‘I wish I’d called in sick this morning!’”
Gabrielle also reckons she was just too nice to get ahead in the contest, and her fellow candidates saw her as “the weak link…” Read more & comment »

Adam Lambert has once again proved his popularity and his spot as one of the most successful ever American Idol stars.
The 30 year old singer has been a fan favourite, ever since he finished in second place on the 2009 series of the hit Fox reality TV show and this week, he managed to top the US Billboard Hot 200 with his latest album.
The second record released by the handsome singer has been a long time in the making, but it seems the wait was worth it as the “Better Than I Know Myself” hitmaker has managed to push it to debut in the top chart position, after it sold 77,000 copies.
