Danielle Peazer is not a happy bunny!
The pretty dancer is unhappy that she is being impersonated on Twitter, because of her relationship with One Direction singer Liam Payne.
The brunette beauty has been dating the X Factor star for more than a year and as a result, has hundreds of thousands of followers on the micro blogging website.
One Direction are in America, embarking on the first leg of their sell out headline tour, but they still made time to meet a few of their fans in LA.
The X Factor stars – Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik & Niall Horan – took some time out of their hectic schedule to perform in a small 50′s style LA diner for a small crowd of supporters and revealing why he likes playing to smaller audiences at time, Harry said:
Matt Cardle has admitted that he is still in touch with his pals from One Direction and is very proud of their success.
The former painter and decorator became close to the teen sensations back when they were all competing on The X Factor, which he went on to win in 2010.
They all lived together in a huge house in London, but since then 1D have went on to break sales records all around the world and sell out tours in Australia, America, as well as the UK.
Simon Cowell is said to have his eye on some big named stars for his new series of The X Factor.
The music mogul is struggling to find one more female to round up his judging panel after the departure of Kelly Rowland and while Geri Halliwell will fill the spot when the tryouts hit Liverpool tomorrow, sources say Cowell is hoping Rita Ora will be a more permanent fixture.
The TV boss is said to be keen to land the RIP hitmaker for his ITV show, after all she has the industry experience under her belt. She may be fairly new to the charts, but the blonde beauty has spent the last two years working with stars such as will.i.am, Jay Z and Kanye West and Simon thinks she can bring an element of credibility to the new series.

Trouble seems to be X Factor judge Tulisa’s middle name of late, and no matter how much she tries to keep her head down, negative publicity follows her around like a bad smell…
And over the weekend, yet more of that occurred when the police were called to an incident which saw Tulisa’s PA allegedly being head butted by an irate fellow passenger.
The incident began when Tulisa – allegedly – ranted loudly and uttered a string of four-letter words about a rather unflattering photograph of herself that she saw in a magazine.
A passerby then reportedly berated her for her foul language, prompting her PA, Gareth Varey, to yell at the man, “Who the hell do you think you are talking to?”
According to The Sun, the unnamed man then gave Gareth a “Glasgow kiss” which left him bleeding profusely.
The paper adds that Tulisa then rowed with the airport’s security guards, saying, “If he gets on the flight he’s going to fight, which we don’t want at 30,000 feet…” Read more & comment »
