The X Factor Final 12 Prepare For First Live Show

PopSugarUK — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 03:30:00 -0700

The chosen 12 have been busy rehearsing for the first live X Factor show due to air this evening. Olly Murs, Lloyd Daniels, Danyl Johnson, Jamie Afro, Stacey Solomon, Kandy Rain (who have vowed never to strip again) and the rest of the gang have been travelling between their shared house and the studios. They're big stars already, and so many fans have been gathering outside the house that the police were called to disperse the crowds. With Robbie Williams set to perform on tomorrow's live results show, I'm getting excited already. Let's hope Simon Cowell gets over his illness and is well enough to appear on the show too.

If you're watching tonight don't forget to follow me on Twitter and let me know all your opinions as I'll be watching and tweeting throughout too!

Celebrities Brave London Rain to Applaud the Pride of Britain

PopSugarUK — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:12:24 -0700

A whole host of stars came out for the Pride Of Britain Awards at London's Grosvenor House last night. The awards, which celebrate ordinary people's extraordinary actions, brought about a few reunions, with former X Factor contestants Alexandra Burke and those JLS boys Aston, Marvin, Oritse and JB hanging out with judges Dannii Minogue and a curly-haired Cheryl Cole, who was joined by her Girls Aloud band mates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.

Emma Bunton, one of the awards judges, and Melanie Brown both walked the red carpet and no doubt took the opportunity to discuss the Spice Girls reunion. Naomi Campbell and Gordon and Tana Ramsay were amongst several guests who also partied at Simon Cowell's 50th on Saturday: they must be looking forward to a relaxing week now! Lots of other stars attended the ceremony too, from Myleene Klass with her melon coloured lips to Louise Redknapp in her colourful print dress. Check out all the red carpet style with my girl FabUK.

To see loads more pictures from the awards, including Davina McCall, Joe Calzaghe, Kristina Rihanoff, Katherine Jenkins, Kelly Brook, Laila Rouass, Lisa Snowdon, Louise Redknapp, Myleene Klass, Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne, Peter Andre, Rachel Stevens, Ronan Keating, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay, Verne Troyer and many more, just read more.

While the shows have been in full swing during the day, London Fashion Week's nights are full of parties for designers and fashion houses celebrating their shows and letting their hair down a little. Last night, FabUK and I went to the Mulberry party where we watched Friendly Fires perform, and spotted Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Bonnie Wright, Tom Sturridge, Emma Roberts, Ben Grimes, Nicola Roberts and some other recognisable faces. Other celebs partying and dining together this weekend included Anna Wintour, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Simon Cowell and others at the TopShop Unique dinner, and Peaches Geldof and Fearne Cotton at the PPQ party. Exciting!

Kate Moss Expands Her Empire

PopSugar — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Kate Moss headed home on Saturday night after checking out Lily Allen's show at London's Somerset House. Lily has fast become one of Kate's closest pals, perhaps because of their shared love for music. Kate's expertise will be useful to one of her upcoming projects - she's apparently signed on to work with her Topshop boss Philip Green and Simon Cowell on their ambitious new entertainment company. In addition to heading up fashion projects, Kate will be finding and signing new bands, which sounds like a perfect way to combine hers loves of rocking out and cashing in.

Shirtless Simon Has a Jet Ski Buddy But Plenty of Rivals

PopSugarUK — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:00:00 -0800

Simon Cowell's continuing to enjoy his shirtless jet skiing holiday in the Caribbean by hooking up with his American Idol pal Ryan Seacrest, who's holidaying with his own special friend. It's no wonder Simon's keeping his friends close as he's got plenty of rivals eager to usurp him, including Gary Barlow, who wants to launch his own pop reality show. Andrew Lloyd Webber's also had a dig at Simon for rejecting X Factor hopefuls Francine and Nicola, who have now been chosen as one of Andrew's Eurovision contestants. Andrew said of Simon: "He doesn’t work with the artists like I do. I’m here to get the best out of everybody". Simon and Andrew are also rivals when it comes to their holiday homes on Barbados: when The Sun told Andrew that Simon is knocking together two houses, Andrew replied: "I can’t speak for Simon - he’s probably in Barbados extending his property near me". And jet skiing too!

You can catch Simon and Ryan on ITV2 next Thursday when American Idol returns.

Victoria Beckham Would Be Welcome Back in Britain

PopSugarUK — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:00:00 -0800

Victoria Beckham went for a silver theme with her cute shoes and D&G bag as she left LAX for London yesterday. As David wants to stay in Milan the couple may spend more time on our shores in the future, so it's just as well they've got Beckingham Palace in order. Ricky Gervais would be certainly be pleased to see Posh back in Britain, as he's written an open letter to Barack Obama on his blog, asking to exchange the ever-present-in-Britain Paris Hilton (who has bought a house near him in London) for Victoria! A judging role on The X Factor could well tempt her back, but apparently Simon Cowell hasn't spoken to her about it. Pick Posh Simon!
