Tuning in to tinseltown's lighter shade of dark
  • Simon Say’s Cheryl Cole Could Have The US X-Factor!

    Posted on March 17th, 2010 at 5:34 pm by SBGLA! Staff   email

    It’s obvious to me that Cheryl Cole likes a bit of the ol’ ‘US of A’ every now then, and Simon Cowell has certainly made his feelings quite clear he likes a bit of the ol’ Chezza too.

    Now I’m hearing if Si’ gets his way and his master plan works out, Cole could be all over the American version of X Factor as one of its new judges, oo-er, go Si’!

    I know, I know there’s been rumors going around about this one  for ages, but I’m being told it’s got to the stage where pieces of paper are being passed around (and all that). Sources in the know are saying there’s a dotted line that needs a certain someone’s signature added to it pronto!

    Simon’s been having meetings with all sorts of important US telly chiefs stating that Cheryl is at the top of his wish-list to sit in one of the judges chairs, which could mean a staggering $2 million deal is waiting on the table for the former Girls Aloud singer.

    Insiders say: “Simon took more of a gamble taking Piers Morgan to the States, he feels Cheryl will be loved immediately. We’ve got to nail her down.”

    Well, I reckon Cole has totes got the X-Factor, she seems an unstoppable force of success right now, so I say Chezza sign on the dots darling and get those buns over here. You might need to work on changing your accent a bit mind you, as the American’s might have a tough time understanding your Geordie accent. Remember? Ant and Dec’s attempts failed miserably!

  • Simon all warm and fuzzy? You better believe it!

    Who says the love of a good women can’t melt the hardest of hearts?

    Simon Cowell has publicly declared that his new girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy is ‘the one’.

    He told his pal Piers Morgan on his ‘Life Stories’ show, “I’m smitten with Mezhgan – I think she’s the one. She’s very special.”

    Friends even reckon that Mezhgan and the notoriously anti-marriage Si might even tie the knot. A Cowell wedding? Now that’s a guestlist I’d like to be on!

    Piers then asked if he wants kids with his new flame and Simon replied: “I think I need to have little Simons around.”

    Simon first met make up artist Mezhgan seven years ago when he started working on American Idol and they’ve slowly been appearing in public together. They were spotted at Mr Chow’s in London ten days ago, and Mezhgan was sporting a sparkler on her ring finger.

    Just one question Simon: who are you going to choose as your wedding singer?

  • SuBo’s Top Of The.. Er, Mops!

    According to The Sun newspaper today, Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle suffered another bizarre public meltdown yesterday when she started singing and dancing into a mop at Heathrow airport.

    SuBo apparently grabbed the mop from a cleaner and gave a chaotic impromptu performance, before using the mop to clean other passengers shoes.

    After receiving complaints, British Airways then tried to calm her down, but Susan fled the Terminal 5 lounge shouting, “I’ve escaped, I’ve escaped.”

    An onlooker told The Sun: “It was chaos. Susan was very restless and agitated from the minute she walked in and immediately started making a scene.

    The source added, “She was singing and dancing around, shouting obscenities at full volume.”

    Susan was on her way to Chicago to go on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In the end a BA staff member sat with her until it was time to board her flight.

    This isn’t the first time SuBo has lost the plot and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I don’t think SuBo is equipped to deal with the pressures of fame and it’s only a matter of time before she Boyles over again.

    Piers Morgan

    Er, well I never thought I’d see the day when I’d said… what a hunk of meat you are Piers Morgan… Did I really say that?!

    The BGT and America’s Got Talent judge has revealed his (tomato) saucy side by stripping off for a tongue-in-cheek Burger King ad…

  • Susan’s Gone Off The Boyle…

    EU BRITAIN SINGING SENSATIONI have to say after reading the many articles written on BGT’s Susan Boyle, I have since gone right off her. Yeah I know – call me fickle why don’t you.

    But when the so-called Youtube singing sensation first stepped onto our computer screens with her debut, like everyone else I couldn’t get enough of her. With her ‘plump’ figure and frizzy grey perm she looked like somebody’s sweet old nanny and we adored her – all 286 million of us!

    Sean Borg with Piers Morgan

    It seems you can’t go anywhere in Hollywood these days without bumping into someone you know from England.

    On Sunday night I was with my mate Simon Boyce at Cecconi’s, West Hollywood, having a quiet dinner after spending a lovely day in Malibu at the home of film director Marcus Nispel.

    As always happens when you’re not planning on seeing anyone I bumped into Rock n Rolla star Toby Kebbel at the bar who tells me he’s out for America’s Got Talent judgePiers Morgan’s birthday.

    In my shorts and T-shirt I wasn’t exactly dressed for the occasion but Piers and I go waaaay back so I had to pop over to his table and say hi…
