It’s been revealed today that Michael Jackson had signed Britain’s Got Talent winners Diversity as a support act for his London shows just days before he died.
According to The Sun newspaper, the dance act would’ve received £10,000 per night and if they’d performed at each of his 50 shows, that would’ve netted them half a million pounds. Read more & comment »
Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle has been lined up for a cameo appearance on Ugly Betty, according to The Sun.
Susan is said to have been first approached about the show a month ago.
Last night a source close to the star said: “Susan has been bombarded with offers of work in America, but this is something she is really keen on and we hope to make happen.
“She will definitely play herself.”
Piers Morgan has insisted that Britain’s Got Talent is in no way scripted and that all acts are a complete surprise to the judges.
Morgan told The Futon Critic: “Simon Cowell, the creator of the Got Talent format, he’s absolutely adamant we should never have any warning from the producers about what is going to come on stage in terms of their ability because, you know, sometimes we might get told their name and that’s about it.
Piers Morgan has said that Americans will go all out to beat Susan Boyle’s Britain’s Got Talent performance in their own American version of the show.
Morgan told The Futon Critic: “The British show got record ratings up 50% because of the Susan Boyle phenomenon. And I have got no doubt that we are going to see significant increases in the ratings of America’s Got Talent this summer.
Susan Boyle has reportedly been lined up to appear on this years X Factor series.
Show bosses are said to want Susan to duet with one of the final acts, which would also mean that she would fill a mentoring spot on the show.
X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary told The Sun: “Who she’s going to duet with – that’s the fun part.”
He added: “She was brilliant. I think finishing second was probably the best thing that could have happened to her.”
Simon Cowell has admitted that the Britain’s Got Talent team could have helped Susan Boyle more during her time on the show.
Simon says that there was a point during the show’s final that he realised Susan had not been at all prepared to lose.
He told The Mirror: “I suddenly realised she didn’t know how to cope with losing. We didn’t handle it well.
Piers Morgan has revealed that Susan Boyle may give a performance on America’s Got Talent.
Susan shot to fame after an audition and eventually came second on Britain’s Got Talent. She has since had an alleged breakdown due to the press attention.
“If she’s up for it and she is well enough, our feeling is she probably will – absolutely!” Piers told reporters.
“Susan singing live to 25 million Americans? That would be great!” he said, before adding: “She still gets a bit tired sometimes, but she is 48.”
Simon Cowell has credited Susan Boyle as the inspiration to the new X Factor format this year.
This years X Factor auditions will now be filmed in front of a live audience, similar to those of Britain’s Got Talent and Simon says it is all due to the audience reaction received by Susan Boyle.
Cowell told GMTV: “I thought in my mind: ‘What would happen if Susan Boyle, as an example, came on X Factor under the current way we do the auditions?’ Four people sitting behind a desk, no audience, no music, just singing acapella, what would have happened in that environment?
Susan Boyle appeared on Monday night’s Britain’s Got Talent show to a standing ovation from the Glasgow crowd, but her publicist has said that she will need to take more rest breaks if she is to continue with the tour.
Susan took two nights off before the Glasgow gig and her next scheduled appearance is in Newcastle.
Boyle’s spokesperson told the BBC:
Piers Morgan has spoken out about Susan Boyle’s alleged breakdown, blaming the media for her demise.
Speaking to the BBC, Piers said Britain’s Got Talent was blame free in Susan’s recent problems and that media coverage of her rise to fame upset her greatly.
Piers has also insisted also that Susan is ‘fine’ and that reports of a breakdown have been greatly exaggerated. Susan returned to the Britain’s Got Talent tour last night and earned a standing ovation from her Scottish fans.
Britain’s Got Talent Grandad Fred Bowers, has had his benefits cut after bosses saw him break dancing on his supposedly bad leg.
Fred has lost his £50 per week motability benefit after his appearance on the ITV talent show and may also be stripped of his £70 per week disability benefit depending on an investigation.
Fred told The Sun: “I’m not a benefits cheat. I just wanted to show elderly or disabled people can do something amazing. The pain in my leg doesn’t affect my dancing.”
Piers Morgan has recreated David Beckham’s Armani shoot by stripping off to his underwear and showing Britain what he’s got.
Unlike David though, Piers is not selling underwear but instead a new fragrance which smells like Greasy Burgers…..sounds yum…..not!
Organisers of the Britain’s Got Talent tour are hoping that Susan Boyle will be able to return for some of the upcoming shows.
Boyle appeared for the show’s first three nights but was forced to withdraw on Sunday night, after she was advised to rest.
She is due to perform on Monday night in her home country at Glasgow SECC but it is not yet clear if she willbe well enough to do so.
Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle has already started work on her debut album according to The Sun.
Insiders report that Susan spent all day Wednesday at a London recording studio with producers from Simon Cowell’s record company, Sony Music.
An insider said: “Wednesday was Susan’s first day as a recording artist — she had a brilliant time.
“She talked about what songs she wanted for the album — it’s going to be a case of trying to pin her down to her favourite ten or so.”
ITV have released the exact voting figures from the recent Britain’s Got Talent final and it definitely makes interesting reading.
Last week Piers Morgan told Diversity that they had a lucky win which may not have happened if Flawless had performed first. However given that Diversity landed more than seven times more votes than their rival dancers, I somehow doubt that’s true.
