Former X Factor winners Little Mix were allegedly banned from talking to Rihanna when she performed on the X Factor.
The girl group, who were formed on the TV talent contest last year, were apparently told to avoid the singer before she took to the stage on their series of the show.
Band member Jesy Nelson told We Love Pop: “We were on The X Factor with Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga was amazing, but we didn’t get to speak to Rihanna.”
Fellow Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock added: “Her management wouldn’t let anyone meet her, but she walked past me and said, ‘Your hair is awesome!’ This was when I had my head half-shaved, which I hated, so it cheered me up. ”
And while Umbrella singer Rihanna wasn’t the chattiest of stars on the night, the girls did get the chance to talk to pop princess Kylie Minogue earlier this year.
Jesy added: “We met Kylie at the BRITs. I kept looking at her bum because she’s got a really nice bottom.”
However, the girls could be inundated with meeting requests from their fellow stars in the future – they hope to soon become the biggest girlband on the planet.
Leigh-Anne said: “I want us to be the biggest girlband in the world. You’ve got to aim high. I’d like to achieve that within three years.”
Fellow band member and girlfriend of One Direction’s Zayn Malik, Perrie Edwards added: “One Direction have kind of opened up the gates for everyone else, hopefully. We’ll see.”

Little Mix were of course the winners of last year’s X Factor, and since then, they’ve gone from strength to strength, particularly recently, having received rave reviews of their new album DNA.
And the girls have proved that they’ve got girl power and that sisters can indeed do it for themselves in that they’ve been collaborating on new tracks with some old school girl band members.
As we reported recently, LM teamed up with TLC’s T-Boz for a new song, and today, The Sun reports that they’ve also been working in the recording studio with Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts and All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis.
The new track that features input by Nicola and Shaznay is entitled Going Nowhere, which apparently offers both raps and beatboxing. In addition, Shaznay has written a track for Little Mix called How Ya Doin? Read more & comment »
X Factor wannabe Eddy String – whose real name is the far less glam Ed Wilkinson – has been answering a ‘string’ of questions from via ask.fm and Twitter…
And in the course of doing so, Ed revealed that apparently, Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson fancies him, which her boyfriend, Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo – who of course shot to fame with the dance troupe on Britain’s Got Talent – may not be overly pleased to hear.
Eddy made the revelation when asked, “Do you have a favourite member of Little Mix?” to which he replied, “Apparently Jade Thirlwall fancies me, so her.”

Check out these amazing shots of Little Mix.
The X Factor winners were photographed and styled as ’60′s Icons’ in the style of The Supremes and The Shangri-Las by magazine Fiasco.
Jade from the band admitted that she loved the experience from beginning to end, explaining:
As we reported earlier, the Little Mix girls, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Jesy Nelson have been talking to OMG! about love, life and well, just about everything else really.
And during a rather revealing round of OMG’s ‘One Minute Gossip Game’, Perrie revealed that she’d happily marry her One Direction boyfriend Zayn Malik, but she refused to say if she’d Snog, Marry or Avoid Harry Styles and/or Liam Payne.
However, her Little Mix band mate Jesy Nelson wasn’t so shy about committing herself to an answer, and she said that she would marry Liam!
And may I just be the first to lay claim to a nickname for any One Direction and Little Mix babies – take note Perrie and Zayn and possibly Jesy and Liam…
They’d surely be called Little Ones! See, this is why they pay me the big bucks. You don’t come across that kind of creativity every day… Read more & comment »
When Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson became Little Mix – following a quick legally required name change – they could have had no idea how much being put together as a girl band would change their lives.
As fans will no doubt recall, judge Tulisa formed the girls into a band, and from then on, they stormed through every stage of The X Factor to emerge the winners last year.
And in the space of the year that’s followed, the girls have become global superstars, and in today’s Sun, each of them has discussed what’s changed for them.
Leigh-Anne kicked off the interview by revealing that just twelve months ago, she was being picked on by lads at her school, and now, she gets inundated with marriage proposals! Read more & comment »

X Factor judge Gary Barlow has revealed that he was “absolutely thrilled” to hear that the Queen is to award him an OBE in her Birthday Honours list.

Of the news, Gary said, “I feel very privileged to be in the company of so many brilliant people who I know have received an OBE.”
