John And Edward Pull In The X Factor Votes

It's generally rumoured that somehow John and Edward got the most votes on last weekend's X Factor - yes really! Whatever the reason it's woken the bookmakers up to the fact that the Irish duo could actually come close to winning the whole thing. As I write there is steam escaping from Simon Cowell's ears at this very thought.

The fact is, whether Simon likes it or not, John and Edward Grimes have captured the publics' imagination despite the fact that they aren't too hot at singing. They look great, and different, and appeal to the young and fun market.

The twins odds of winning have shortened so the publicity machine will go into overdrive to stop this happening. Manipulation is afoot.

Everyone's favourite to win X Factor seems to be Joe McElderry but wouldn't it be funny to see John and Edward upset the applecart? Imagine Simon's face. He's already got his knickers in a twist by having Danyl Johnson in the sing offs and has supposedly been blasting Cheryl and Dannii. So much so that Cheryl described him as being, 'rude and nasty'.

But, of course, conflicts and rumours of upsets all help the X Factor viewing figures and I guess most, well some, viewers realise that it's all illusion and manipulation. Money is the real name of the game.

Katie Price
According to the Mirror Katie Price and boyfriend Alex Reid have split following a row - at least temporarily.

A source told the Mirror: "She may come across as having a tough exterior but she’s broken by the split with Pete and she’s trying to persuade herself that being with Alex is what she needs. She’s been distant and acting weird with him all week. Alex was trying to comfort her but every time he tried to cuddle her she’d snap, 'Get away from me'. He yelled back, 'You're clearly not over Pete'.

X Factor Says Bye Bye To Tru Colourz

Robbie Williams And Take That Not Back Together

Rumours that Robbie Williams and Take That are to be re-united are in doubt.

Though all five (Take That + Robbie) were in New York it appears that they were there only for Mark Owen's Stag Night - and not to record music together.

Their spokesperson said, "They (Take That)were there approving mixes for a live album that's due out at the end of November. Williams probably popped in to have a listen."

No studio time was booked for recording.

Rumours, no doubt, will continue.

Helen Flanagan Scenes Too Hot For Coronation Street

Helen FlanaganScenes from tonight's Coronation Street, featuring Helen Flanagan, are too hot for television. So much so they have been censored.

Helen will be seen walking down the street and starting to undress but there the scene ends. The full version shows Helen, in her part as Rosie Webster, wearing stockings, suspenders and a basque emphasising her impressive cleavage - but it's deemed too hot for a television soap.

Rachel Riley Short Skirt and High Heels On Countdown

They have certainly glammed up Countdown presenter Rachel Riley.

Rachel had a hard act to follow when she replaced Carol Vorderman and there has been criticism of her. But this week things changed as she changed her style of dress. She has turned into a vixen with short skirts and high heels.

No doubt desperate measures were needed as the Countdown audience has dropped by half.

The stylists have got to work and seem to have realised that Rachel Riley is an untapped commodity.

As to whether her legs can save Countdown is another matter but it could just do the trick.

Carol Vorderman was very plain when she started on the programme and gradually blossomed. Rachel Riley could well be set to do the same.

Victoria Beckham Too Posh To Eat

A hollow cheeked Victoria Beckham caused a stir at the London Fashion Week last night and not because of her fashion designs.

Victoria is morphing into Ms. Skeleton and her weight loss must surely be causing David and her family some concern.

Victoria was at the prestigeous Vogue dinner and certainly looked like she could do with a good meal. Come on Posh, you may have been too posh to push when having the kids but you're not too posh to eat. It's not a good look.

Sugababes New Line-Up

As expected it's all change with the Sugababes. A statement was issued saying simply, "The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded."

Keisha Buchanan has left the group and has been replaced by Jade Ewan, who was this year's UK Eurovision Song Contest representative.

As for Keisha she says that she was forced out of the group. She said, "I'm sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes. I've had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life."

The change in the line-up means that none of the original Sugababes remain. Back in 1998 they started off with Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy. So should the group still be called the Sugababes?

Katie Price Livid Over Rape Story

The media manipulating Katie Price has said that she is 'livid' about the fuss caused by her saying that she had once been raped by a well known celebrity. And, no, she won't say who it actually was. Mmmmm!

Katy said, "I'm absolutely livid - I mentioned it [the rape} in my column and then I done a shoot with the kids last week and they just tried to press on and on about it and I said I'm not going to say who it is. And they just dig and dig and dig.

"It has been blown out of all context. I've woken up this morning and it's on the covers of all the newspapers and I'm like 'oh my God'. It's just like a can of worms they're opening."

Wonder what she expected?!

She went on to say, "It happened absolutely years ago and like anyone it's just a hard thing to do. It's been there and done now so what do you do. If something happens you should go to the police. Maybe I should have done. I went back and said to my friends 'this happened ...' it was definitely rape. I didn't consent to it. What do you do? It's a difficult situation. I just don't want to bring it all up and it has been brought up."

Katie would no doubt have known full well that her rape story would hit the headlines - she's not that naive as to think it wouldn't.

Derren Brown Lottery Explanation

Derren Brown's explanation as to how he forecast the UK Lottery result pulled in a good sized television audience, up to 4.6 million through the programme. A great result for Channel 4.

Problem is his explanation, as expected, was a load of hogwash.

It was a great trick but, of course, he won't reveal the real way he 'guessed' the correct Lottery numbers. It's too valuable. He'll be able to do similar stunts around the world - earning himself fame and fortune.

So we'll all have to carry on with our Lotto numbers with 14 million to one odds.
