X Factor judge Simon Cowell has tipped 20 year old mum Stacey Solomon as being one of this year’s final acts.
Speaking at a charity dinner on Monday night, Cowell told the Jewish Chronicle: “I like Stacey. She’s a sweetheart. She’s a nice girl with a good voice and she’s getting better. She’s going to be in the final. She’s my favourite act after my own acts.”
UPDATE: BRIAN FRIEDMAN HAS NOW CONFIRMED THAT THE THEME HAS NOT CHANGED AGAIN. HE TWEETED:
“Just to clear up any doubts or concerns out there for X Factor fans… I confirmed the theme was changed, NOT that it was changed again 
”
Brian Friedman has told his Twitter followers that Simon Cowell has changed this week’s X Factor theme again!
Earlier this week Brian reported that Simon had already changed the theme six times before settling on Wham! and George Michael songs. However at 5.28pm today Brian, the show’s creative director tweeted:
Simon Cowell has finally settled on a theme for this week’s X Factor show. Louis Walsh was turning on Dublin’s Christmas lights tonight, when he confirmed to a local radio station that the theme would be Wham! and George Michael week.
Today he also told Sky News:
“The theme this week has changed a few times, first it was Elton John, then it was The Beatles but now it’s going to be George Michael and Wham!”
Yesterday Brian Friedman complained that Simon had changed the theme six times before settling on one. If Louis is right, one has to ask if Simon wrestled with the decision for so long, why didn’t he choose a decent and perhaps even current theme.
Brian Friedman has lashed out at Simon Cowell for changing this week’s X Factor theme no less than six times.
The theme is usually announced the weekend before the show airs and song choosing begins soon after. However Simon’s indecision has led to a big delay in song choice and routine planning and reportedly thrown the whole process into disarray.
Brian, who acts as creative director for the show, told The Mirror:
Singer-songwriter Moby has blasted ITV’s X Factor and Simon Cowell all in one fell swoop.
In an interview to be broadcast on tonight’s Live From Studio Five, Moby claimed that the ITV reality TV show cheapens music and that he doesn’t understand Simon Cowell’s greed.
Simon Cowell’s right hand woman has revealed that the music mogul has realised that John and Edward Grimes do actually have the elusive X Factor.
Sinitta told Clsoer magazine:
“Simon’s been attacked but, to me, he made the right choice. He could have booted them out because he didn’t personally like them, but it’s not about what Simon likes. He kept them in not just to benefit the show, but the public too.”
Rock star Sting has snubbed Simon Cowell and turned down his offer to appear on ITV’s X Factor.
After Sting branded the reality TV show a ‘karaoke’ and said that none of it’s contestants would ‘make it,’ Simon challenged him to appear on the show and pass on his sage advice to the acts.
But last night the veteran singer’s spokeswoman Regine Moylett said: “I reckon that Sting has probably said everything that he wants to say about The X Factor.”
Calvin Harris has been chatting about his pineapple invasion on Saturday night’s X Factor and the reasons behind his stunt.
Harris claims that he pulled the prank in order to highlight how much of a joke the show really is.
Harris told Radio One:
“Where can X Factor go from there? It’s not a music competition.
X Factor boss Simon Cowell is reportedly addicted to slimy Angel Delight and has even upped his intake due to the stress of the Jedward situation .
Simon’s pal Sinitta told The Mirror:
“He has a two-packet-a-day problem or habit – it’s his comfort food.”
X Factor judge Simon Cowell is said to be very worried that one of his boys will end up in the bottom two tonight, as the public rebels against his decision last week.
Many internet fan sites have followed Unreality TV’s line and urged fans to hit out at Cowell by voting for the worst. Simon is reportedly worried that the surge in votes for Jedward, combined with peoples annoyance with him will lead to either Danyl Johnson or Jamie Archer being in the bottom two tonight.
The X Factor house is said to have descended into a state of chaos, with the final seven acts breaking rules left, right and centre.
Sources told The News Of The World that two of the singers were texting each other about their shared romantic feelings, John and Edward Grimes were caught watching porn and some of the acts were so close to a breakdown that a team of psychologists were called in.
An inside source on the show revealed: “Simon knows he has a duty of care to these youngsters and is determined to stamp the problems out NOW.”
X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has backed Simon Cowell’s decision to save John and Edward Grimes on last week’s show.
O’Leary admitted that he was initially shocked when he heard Simon wasn’t saving Lucie Jones, but when he stopped to think he realised that Simon had made the right call.
In his News Of The World column O’Leary said:
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has thrown down the gauntlet to rock singer Sting after he criticised the show earlier this week.
In an interview with the London Evening Standard Sting claimed that the show is “a soap opera which has nothing to do with music”.
He added: “I am sorry but none of those kids are going to go anywhere, and I say that sadly.”
As expected, on tonight’s X Factor show, Simon Cowell addressed the week’s headlines and public outrage at his decision to Save John and Edward Grimes on last week’s show.
Simon denied claims that he sent the show to deadlock for tactical reasons and said that he did so because he fully trusts the British public.
Simon Cowell has met with all the remaining X Factor acts and assured them that whoever wins will receive his full backing. However he warned them that this is crunch time and asked them to ‘up their game’ if they want to stand a chance of winning.
Simon told The Daily Star: “No-one who could have won has gone so I think the public have got it right so far.
“But I had a conversation with all the contestants to say whoever wins I will give them my full support.
