Can you believe that in just three short weeks time we will be getting ready for the X Factor final of 2009? The event will no doubt be massive but surely ITV bosses could have found a better celebrity guest than Paul McCartney?

The Mirror have reported that Mr Cowell is trying to land the former Beatles star to mentor and perform with one of the finalists. Our money is on Joe McElderry, the poor lad.

I wonder if they will perform the Frog Chorus or the very overplayed Hey Jude? Sing it together people….. ‘nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, Hey Jude’
