Michael Buble has performed on The X Factor more times than some of the show’s contestants, but the crooner has admitted that he has always had a bit of beef with show boss Simon Cowell.
The Canadian star claims that the music mogul once destroyed his confidence on stage, after he rolled his eyes while Michael sang on American Idol.

We L.O.V.E Adam Lambert and think he normally comes across as quite a happy, fun and easy going dude, but a story in the press today seems to suggest otherwise.
Insiders claim that the former American Idol runner up turned up to a party to celebrate the launch of Storm Lee’s new album – you remember Storm? The one Louis Walsh made dye his hair red on last year’s X Factor – and threw a bit of a strop.
The launch took place in LA and a source told The Mirror that the ‘Whaddya Want From Me’ hitmaker turned up late, demanded a ‘table away from everyone else’ and threw his weight around a bit.

Jennifer Lopez has given her first interview after her split from husband Marc Anthony.
The American Idol judge announced their impending divorce last month and confessed that leaving the Latin singer was the ‘hardest decision’ she’s ever made. However J-Lo does still ‘believe in love’ and admitted that her marriage problems mostly resulted out of problems with her work/life balance.
She said: “This was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to face. I really wanted this family to work. That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn’t work — and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love…It’s still my biggest dream.”
