Tulisa Contostavlos, Caroline Flack and Tinie Tempah spent this week sunning themselves on the Caribbean island of St Lucia, while they filmed the X Factor judges houses rounds, but not one of them could crack a smile as they made their way through the airport earlier today.
We know the three stars probably had a pretty heavy workload during the trip, after all Tulisa and Tinie had to listen to all the final hopefuls sing, decided on which four they wanted to take through to the live shows and Caroline had a whole heap of filming to do for her ITV2 spinoff show The Xtra Factor.
However, we also know that their time in the plush mansion was not all work and no play, as it’s been reported that Contostavlos hosted a bit of a crazy, drunken skinny dipping party on her last night.

Tinie Tempah is one lucky dude.
The 23 year old rapper and singer is currently kicking back and relaxing in the lap of luxury, courtesy of the X Factor team, as he prepares to take part in this year’s judges houses round.
The “Written in the Stars” hitmaker was hand picked to join Tulisa Contostavlos on the Caribbean island of St Lucia this week, as she whittles down the last of her hopeful singers to just four for the upcoming live shows.

Hands up who is excited about the start of this year’s X Factor series on Saturday?
Well, we are, and in the hustle and bustle of all the run up excitement, it has now been revealed that this year’s grand final will be held in Manchester this year, as opposed to London’s Wembley like last year, according to the Mirror newspaper.

Uh-oh, favour alert! It would seem that in good old fashioned X Factor style, this year will not be sidestepping the tradition of starting in a media flurry of controversy, as one of entrants of this year’s competition not only knows judge, Tulisa, but toured with her!
Singer Jaya auditioned London’s O2 Arena earlier this year and made it through to the judge’s houses round of the show, which begins airing its audition stages next Saturday night.

Jessie J was amazing as she coasted through her performance at the Olympics Closing Ceremony this evening.
The ‘Domino’ hitmaker cruised around the track of the huge stadium in a swish convertible car, as she belted out her hit track ‘Price Tag.’
After topping the charts in nineteen countries including the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, and New Zealand with the song last year, she released her debut album, Who You Are which went on to chart at number two in the UK.

The Olympics is ending today….a fact which actually makes us much more sad than we ever would have expected to be.
We have loved watching men in tight shorts jumping off diving boards and running around tracks for the last few weeks and the only thing that brightens up the end of this sport pervathon is the promise of a world class star studded concert tonight.
The lineup for the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony has been kept a closely guarded secret and no confirmations have been made by officials, however we think that at this point we have a fair idea of who is going to take to the stage.

It seems that the X Factor female judges aren’t just fighting over stylists and who gets the best dresses, but they are also at loggerheads over who they get to work with at judges houses.
We reported earlier this week that Nicole Scherzinger was desperate to land a current and successful male star to help her mentor the boys, when she makes her final decision in judges houses later this month.

Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly told X Factor bosses that she wants Tinie Tempah to assist her at judges’ houses this year.
The new judge on the talent show will soon film her last audition stage of the ITV series and will have a famous music star at her side as she makes her final decision on which contestants wil win a place in the live shows.
After landing the boys category, insiders claim that the Pussycat Dolls star wants a male singer to assist her in her choices and has her eye on ‘Written In The Stars’ hitmaker.

It would seem as though Dannii Minogue really was ITV’s last resort when it came to filling the final X Factor judging position, but after she turned down the reported £10million deal last week, the hugely popular singing talent show has been forced to draft in a series of stand in judges to get the show through its audition stages, which begin this week!
So far the names circulating with regards to these temporary positions are Robbie Williams, Gwen Stefani, Tinie Tempah, Alicia Keys and Geri Halliwell, with no hint as to who the final position will go to by the time the acts have been selected for the next stages of the competition.
