‘Nasty’ Nigel Lythgoe might be able to add yet another string to his director/presenter/producer/dancer bow – psychic!

He told newspapers months ago that if he had his eay he’d completely overhaul the American Idol judging panel if he returned to the show as Executive Producer, and it looks like it’s going to come true.

Rumours are flying that judge Kara Dioguardi has been axed and with Ellen DeGeneres and Simon officially off, there’s a pretty gaping gap on each side of Randy Jackson!

TMZ is reporting that Nigel is officially BACK and now we just have to wait and see who ends up in the hotseat.

Currently everyone from J-Lo to Steven Tyler is being bandied about, but who would you like to see on the AI judging panel?

My dream team would be: Madonna, Dolly Parton, Jay-Z and Elton John – you know, nothing too intimidating for the upcoming wannabes!

Madonna’s relationship with toyboy Jesus Luz has been the one garnering column inches since her divorce from Guy Ritchie, but now it’s the director’s love life that’s in the spotlight.

Guy has been dating model Jacqui Ainsley since April this year but over the weekend they finally went public, posing on the red carpet of the Hoping for the Children of Palestine fundraiser on Saturday night.

And if that wasn’t enough for us to get the message Jacqui proceeded to watch the event’s entertainment while perched on Guy’s lap!

Of course, pics of Jacqui, 28, leaving Guy’s house did surface last month so you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out they’re an item. Seems like Guy’s memories of Madonna have been Swept Away. He’s Snatched up Jacqui and isn’t letting go!

She’s got a rep as the nice girl of pop but it seems that Leona Lewis is teensy bit rebellious.

She has unveiled a new tattoo that runs from her neck to her back, but unlike Posh or Cheryl who’ve inked the names of their dubious hubbies on their bodies, Leona’s permanent tribute is to someone who’ll never do the dirty.

It reads: “Their beauty captures every eye, a gift from God for all mankind, they lend us wings so we may fly, to ride a horse is to ride the sky” and proclaims her love for fave animal, the horse!

The sexy X-Factor winner, who recently slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10 after undergoing a detox, told a close friend that horse riding was a great way to help her forget her worries and chill out.

Yesterday [IS THIS WHEN THE PIC WAS TAKEN?] the 24-year-old went for a ride in Glendale, California, and seemed to be having a relaxing afternoon away from stressful showbiz life.

Looking good Leona, and remember, that other quite good singer, Madonna, also loves to ride. Maybe you can form an all-star polo team!

No longer a hairy angel but a bona fide top selling recording star…

Susan Boyle, you know that rather odd woman from West Lothian, Scotland who made her mark on Britain’s Got Talent a few months back is outselling Whitney Houston‘s dismal comeback album… Can you believe!

The Queen of Pop pays tribute to Michael Jackson last night in London

The reigning Queen of Pop – Madonna, paid her respects to the King of Pop by bringing the house down last night at her concert at London’s O2 Arena with her tribute to Michael Jackson. Madge brought onstage a dancer dressed up as Jackson to groove with her…

In an interview with my good mate Victoria Newton, the ‘Queen of Pop’ has made an emotional tribute to the ‘King of Pop’ in today’s Sun newspaper…

Film fans take note: Justin Timberlake is set to appear in one of Guy Ritchie’s upcoming films.

The pair apparently made the deal over a glass of expensive whiskey (or two) at Ritchie’s Mayfair pub, The Punch Bowl, on Monday night, and with Guy planning a big-screen version of Guys and Dolls surely there’s a role with Justin’s name all over it…

At the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit last night at the Hotel du Cap near Cannes, motor-mouth auctioneer Sharon Stone, grabbed the microphone demanding some of Tinseltown’s biggest names dig deep into their charitable pockets.

And I have to say Shazza ain’t half bad at doing this job either, once upon a time Stone – who has long been a major supporter of AIDS research and has helped raise millions for the cause even convinced the Queen of pop Madonna to put the whole contents of her purse up for auction, which if l remember rightly helped fetch a pretty penny …
