X Factor 2010 News & Gossip Round Up

It’s being reported today that guest judge Katy Perry has been offered the role of full-time judge on the US X Factor panel.

The Daily Mirror reports that Katy has been offered a contract with the show that’ll land her around $340,000 per week.

A show insider told the paper, "Simon [Cowell] wants to get the judging names signed, sealed and announced within six weeks.

“He wants at least one massive American star, someone who is known globally, plus one Brit and at least one authoritative male.

"Katy was thrilled, especially by the package which is said to be a $340,000-a-show deal."

And it seems that Simon’s keen to secure more “big names” from the music industry for the judging panel.

Big Brother 11: SIX housemates facing eviction! Plus, Nadia collapses... well, her chair does

Yes, you read right, there are no less than six housemates facing the chop from the Ultimate BB house this week.

The nominated housemates are, Chantelle, Makosi, Nadia, Nick, Nikki and Ulrika.

Who do you want to see leave?

I want Makosi to go; I didn’t like her first time round, and I don’t like her any better this time! All she’s done is moan, bitch and cry, and apropos of bitching, she’s aimed a goodly amount of that in Ulrika’s direction…

Will Stacey Slater die in the Queen Vic fire??

On Thursday, we’ll see that the much awaited Queen Vic fire takes a hold, trapping Stacey and baby Lily in the upstairs flat…

It all begins when Stacey goes to the Vic to confess to Peggy that she murdered Archie. She also confesses the same to Ryan, but meanwhile, in the bar, Phil tells Peggy that he knows she loves the pub more than she loves him…

“Go on, deny it!” he yells, and when Peggy hesitates, he drops the match onto the accelerant he’s already doused the place with.

Stacey runs upstairs to get Lily, but by the time she has, the stairs are full of smoke and the flames spreading out of control.

Ryan meanwhile has a ladder which he climbs up to the flat’s window to take Lily from Stacey.

The much hyped and anticipated Queen Vic fire is set to light up our screens next week…

It all begins when Peggy tries to keep Phil locked up in the pub to stop him taking any more drugs.

But Phil being Phil, he doesn’t take too kindly to being told what to do, and deprived of booze and drugs, so in a bid to escape – and exact revenge on Peggy – he starts the fire in the living area of the Vic…

Peggy had thought that Phil was bluffing and wouldn’t set the put alight, but she thought very wrong!

The fire scenes are broadcast on Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC1, and in addition this week, Sam gives birth, but just as Peggy thinks she’s going to get to play granny again, Sam makes the shock announcement that she’s putting the baby up for adoption.

X Factor 2010: News & Gossip Round Up

It’s being reported today that Simon Cowell has enraged the father of X Factor hopeful Annastasia Baker…

In Saturday’s show, we saw Annastasia – who has tried out for the show before, but was eliminated in the Judges House round – begin to sing Proud Mary before being told to stop by Simon…

And despite the fact that Annastasia was put through to Boot Camp, her dad Ian Baker told the Daily Mirror how Simon’s words has angered him.

He told the paper, "Simon used some harsh words. I don't think what was said was fair.

"Annastasia spent a lot of money on her image and had poured time and effort into it.

Ultimate Big Brother: Coolio has left the house! And Stuart returns as Nadia’s ‘slave’!

Following row after row with Nadia, Coolio has left the Ultimate BB house.

It began with a row on Friday just before John was evicted during which Coolio made fun of Nadia’s lisp and accent.

He also hid Nadia’s clothes, and massive rows have gone on between the pair ever since.

After both were called separately to the Diary Room to “cool down”, Coolio made the decision to quit, and he left the house.

However, house life continues of course, and Victor and Michelle were given the task of choosing one of the housemates to have ex-housemate Stuart Pilkington as a slave!

Ultimate Big Brother: Voting to evict Coolio or John – lines open at 11am!

Channel 4 have announced that Coolio and John McCririck will face the first Ultimate BB public vote, and lines will open today at 11am and close during tonight’s eviction show.

All the housemates were shocked to discover they had to nominate so early on in the game, but of course, as John’s been continually telling everyone he’s only there for the money, and wants to go asap, he was obviously going to be up first…

And apropos of John, he’s been in the Diary Room ranting at BB for what he’s called “failures” to keep to their side of a deal made with the Tree of Temptation.

As a result, he’s been refusing to speak to anyone so that BB have “nothing to show” of him. Ooo big loss… not.

“I really want to go.

"I went out there and [I've] seen all my friends and family, and then I've seen John and I've just had to walk straight back in here.

"I do miss my old housemates. I'm not like these people. They're all celebrities. I'm normal."

And when asked what could help to make her feel better, Josie said that speaking to John James would.

She added, "I don't know what I'd say. But he'd make me feel better, I know that."

Today is of course the last full day in the BB house for the remaining housemates, but yesterday, they were treated to a Perfect Day, during which Josie got a fab make over and came out of it looking stunning!

She scrubs up well our Bristol lass doesn’t she?

Personally, I don’t think there’s any doubt that Josie’s going to win. Do you?

But to get back to yesterday’s Perfect Day, the whole thing was kicked off with Anthea Turner who made breakfast for the housemates.

Later in the day came the pampering sessions, with make-up artists working their magic, and hair stylists doing likewise, as well as some rather painful waxing sessions!

And it was all topped off by Simon Webbe singing to the housemates after a sumptuous dinner cooked by renowned chef, Nancy Lam.

It seems that Street legend Jack Duckworth – who is of course played by Bill Tarmey – will speak his last words on the show to his dead wife, Vera.

The Daily Star states that Bill has already filmed his last scenes as Jack, and apparently, Liz Dawn who played Vera has agreed to make a special guest appearance.

A show source told the paper, "Liz has already agreed and will be back on set in the coming weeks.

"They always had the comedy element as a couple and the scriptwriters get the balance just right.

"Vera will try to persuade Jack to join her and reassure him he'll be OK."

We will apparently see Jack ask Vera, "Is the place where you are now hot?"
