Cowell To Sign Sexy Superstar Rihanna as U.S X Factor Mentor?!?!
Posted on September 13th, 2011 at 3:26 pm by Nick Crew
It’s so close now we can almost taste it, but as the U.S X Factor draws near, news of the show’s secret plans is getting more and more exciting.
The latest reports being that Simon Cowell has just signed sexy superstar Rihanna to mentor contestants when the show gets down to the ”judges houses” stage. Good call by Cowell, I say!
Rihanna will be the second singing star to be brought in by Simon to mentor, the first being Mariah Carey.
I’m told Cowell is a major fan of Rhianna and is now pulling out all the stops now to ensure the X Factor is a HUGE success in America; he will stop at nothing until it is!
A source close to Cowell said, ”Simon loves Rihanna and loved having her on the UK show last year - so it’s no surprise he wants her back.”
Rihanna, along with Christina Aguilera, caused quite the stir on the UK version of the popular talent show when their performances received thousands of complaints for being too raunchy… Personally, I loved them!
But Mr. Cowell has admitted that the US show would need to be “a bit more toned down”… Ah, what a shame…
The U.S-version of X Factor will begin airing on Fox on Sept. 21, and I for one can’t to see Simon’s talents at work once again!
Christina Aguilera to Replace Cheryl Cole on American X Factor!?!?
Posted on January 26th, 2011 at 11:40 am by
A rumor is spreading that Brit pop star Cheryl Cole, once thought to have a seat at the judge’s table of Simon Cowell’s new American X Factor TV program locked in, is not guaranteed a place on the show and that singer Christina Aguilera will be given the job instead.
An unnamed source, according to Independent Television News, revealed: “Although Simon is desperate for Cheryl to join him on the judging panel, bosses just aren’t convinced. Both Rihanna and Katy Perry have been mentioned as possible candidates, but neither would be able to take time out of their busy work schedule to be judges.”
The source added: “Christina is the one all bosses are agreed on. She has it all; looks, talent and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She is a massive star globally and her voice is recognized as one of the best of all time so there really isn’t any competition especially where Cheryl is concerned.”
The Burlesque star recently performed on the UK version of the televised talent contest in December of 2010.
If the rumor is true, Cheryl is learning the hard way that nothing in Hollywood is set in stone. May the best pop diva win!
Russell Brand Wants Elvis to Officiate Wedding!

Russell Brand just keeps getting more and more classy… er… I mean klassy with a “K.”
The scruffy looking Brit (well, not in this pic) was recently accompanied by his fiancé, singer Katy Perry, to the premiere of his latest film Get Him to the Greek in Las Vegas. The couple, who walked the red carpet, will soon be walking down the aisle together. The question is what kind of wedding is this wacky duo planning?
The two are reportedly still considering Vegas for the big day. Brand joked: “Now we’re talking, the drive-thru chapel. A Vegas wedding, married by Elvis Presley, or even better, Aaron Presley in his unnourished form.” Huh? While you’re at it Russell, why not have a Michael Jackson impersonator as your ring bearer?
As for Perry, she denies the claim made by friend Rihanna that the wedding is to take place in India. Speaking with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Perry said: “I haven’t told Rihanna where we’re getting married actually. She thought we were getting married in India because we got engaged there.”
The singer added: “I hope it to be in an [exciting] location because I think it’s better to take people out of their comfort zones. I think it’s going to be small for right now because there’s so much biggness going on in our lives. There will be receptions and parties. Everybody knows that I love to throw a good party.”
It sounds like Katy’s ideas are a little different from Russell’s and, due to his recent bridezilla-like behavior, this could cause some contentious wedding planning between the two. Russ might be singing The Doghouse Rock… if you catch my drift.
Perry’s Pal Rihanna Blabs Secret Wedding Plans!

Nice to know Katy Perry’s best pal, singer Rihanna can keep a secret – NOT!
So when the ‘I Kissed A Girl’ singer asked her mate Rih’ to help organize her and Russell’s big day, I’m pretty sure she was meant to keep schtum… So much for keeping a secret a under your hat, or Rihanna’s case – Umbrella!
Instead, what does Rihanna go and do? She blabbed some of the top secret details live on US radio… How verrry dare she!
While being interviewed by DJ Ryan Seacrest yesterday, Rihanna said: “I have to come up with something cool because she is getting married in India so I’m like, ‘OK, now what do I do to match that?’
“That’s at the end of the year so we’ve got some time to plan.”
About planning the ‘do’, the singer then told that Katy and Russell [Brand] would be getting married in Jaipur, where Russell proposed on New Year’s Eve. Onion Bhaji’s and poppadoms all round!
Thanks for letting us in on that one Rihanna! However, I am pretty sure that little bit of leaked information has knocked quite a few thousand quid off Russell and Katy’s OK Magazine buy up… Um, that’s if the scruffy couple were indeed intent on even doing a deal. Ahem!
Leona’s New Bff: Hairy Spice!
Posted on March 13th, 2010 at 10:20 am by Sean Borg
Ex-pat Mel B showed up to the event in Vegas last night hand-in-hand with her new bff, X Factor winner, Leona Lewis. And while Mel looked stunning in a curve-hugging electric blue dress, her new hair do was more of a hair don’t!
Looking more like singer Annabella Lwin (pictured below: right) from eighties band Bow Wow Wow, the former Spice Girl had shaved one half of her hair off completely to give her an undercut that left even bosom bud Leona looking quite bemused.
Rihanna rocked a similar look a little while back, but somehow got away with it, maybe because her whole image is slightly more edgy and a little bit punk.
Sorry Mel, I think you need to step away from issues of Dazed and Confused and get a new do, dear!
