The Apprentice boss Lord Alan Sugar has revealed that he wants Cheryl Cole to resume her post on the ‘X Factor’ judging panel.
The multi-millionaire business mogul – who worked with Cheryl when she appeared on ‘Comic Relief Does The Apprentice’ in 2007 – thinks that the show’s boss, Simon Cowell, should bring back the ‘Promise This’ singer and her former co-judge Dannii Minogue.
In a message to Cheryl on twitter, Lord Sugar wrote, “For what its worth I think Cowell shud put you back on UK X factor and bring Danni back also.
“No doubt will b told to min own biz. (sic)”
Cheryl, Dannii and Simon have all been replaced by new judges, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow. The only original judge on the panel now is Louis Walsh. Read more & comment »

The PA today reports that former The Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry has revealed that she’s already “fielding calls” from next year’s batch of hopefuls.
Just days after this year’s series ended, seeing Tom Pellereau crowned victor, the businesswoman said she’s been contacted by dozens of aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking for tips on how to make it onto the show.
She said, “I’ve had some people for the next year already that are interviewing saying ‘what do we do about this, what do we do about that’.
“My advice is don’t ask people, just go and do it.
“I also think if people need to ask advice in the interview it’s probably not the show for them, because you just need to be yourself.
“At the end of the day you are who you are. Just be yourself and if it’s the best you can do, what will be will be.” Read more & comment »

Felicity Jackson
Felicity Jackson became the latest hopeful to be sacked by Lord Alan Sugar on last night’s Apprentice episode.
The 24-year-old business woman had put herself forward as project manager of Team Logic for the most recent task, however after the group brought in a loss of £247 after failing to sell enough beauty treatments to the public, the Amstrad boss chose her to leave the series.
The entrepreneur is unsurprisingly unimpressed by the outcome and has insisted that the betrayal of fellow contestants Ellie Reed and Natasha Scribbins led to Sugar’s decision.

“It was bad, especially when I had to wear a helmet on the racetrack. I looked like a baby stuck in a jam jar.”

Channel 4 has recommissioned their daytime programme Celebrity Five To Go.
In the entertainment series, five celebrities go on holiday together and they compete in a series of tasks to be crowned the best travelling companion.
The stars then vote to send their least favourite holiday companions packing, not realising that the final decision of which one of them wins lies in the hands of a panel of local people they meet along the way, including the overworked villa staff.

Stuart Baggs ‘The Brand’ has revealed that he hopes to land a role on another reality TV show.
The former ‘Apprentice’ candidate – who became notorious for his hilarious catchphrases on the BBC One series in 2010 – admitted that since the series aired, he has been inundated with offers from various TV companies and is particularly interested in appearing on next year’s ‘Dancing On Ice’.
He said: “Life is Brand-tastic to be honest. ‘The Apprentice’ has changed my life. I was planning on going back to my business and putting ‘The Apprentice’ to bed. But then production companies started calling and asking whether I’d considered doing any more TV, so we’ll see whether anything takes my fancy.

Stuart Baggs thinks he will “definitely” be as successful as Lord Alan Sugar.
The 22-year-old entrepreneur – who lost out on the chance to work for the business mogul at the semi-final stage of this year’s show – has every faith in his abilities to succeed, despite not winning ‘The Apprentice’.
He said: “Will I be as successful as Lord Sugar? Yeah, absolutely. I definitely see myself as uber-successful and y’know, I certainly will be or I’ll die trying. I suspect I might die trying.
“But I absolutely see myself as a multi-millionaire or a billionaire by that age.”
