X Factor girl band Hope have taken on music moghul Simon Cowell and won!
The group complained about their costumes, clingy metallic jumpsuits and Simon’s song choice for them, and Simon surprisingly agreed to let the girls choose their own outfits and song for one week only.
Instead of singing a dated Supremes number, the group will now take on Christina Aguilera’s Hurt.

An ex-boyfriend of Hope member, Emily Biggs, has warned that her new relationship with fellow X factor singer, Leon Jackson won’t last.
In an interview with the News of the World, Louis Hill insisted: “It won’t last. I’ll wait as long as it takes for her. She’s the best lover I’ve ever had.”
Louis added that he has already forgiven Emily, explaining: “When you’re living and working miles away from your home and family you need to have someone to share things with.”
X Factor girl band Hope have been rocked by in-fighting and arguments over the last week insiders claim.
The girls are said to be sleeping in separate rooms after band member Charlie Mole claimed that Leah Lauder is the “wrong look for the band.”
A source told The People: “Suddenly Charlie lost it, blaming Leah for harming their chances of winning. She said she looked like the odd one out because she was fatter than the rest of them. It was really hurtful to Leah.”
Leah was on the verge of quitting the show following the confrontation, but she was eventually persuaded to stay by producers. Read more & comment »

“I’m gutted. He’s my little boy and I just really want him to be there,” Charlie told the News of the World. “It’s been so hard being away from him. It’s like there’s a little hole in my heart all the time, and I’ve been crying lots.”
She added: “He’s got a Go Mummy T-shirt to wear while he watches me on TV. He’s really proud of me and we’ve got him a mobile phone so he can vote – he’s loving it.” Read more & comment »

“My dad is coming to the first live show and he says he’s very proud of me, so that makes me happy,” she says.
“When he was in prison we got to see him as much as we could. It was obviously upsetting for such a little girl, to see her dad like that. Read more & comment »
