No not the Royal Will, but he of previous X-Factor fame, the one who pipped the spiky haired stutterer Gareth Gates (I know, I know I’m sorry!!)..to the winning post, Mr William Young.

Now a successful recording artist (unlike Gates!), he’ll be joining Chezza to choose her contestants for the final, in the shows to be aired this weekend on ITV1. What with Team Kylie and Dannii and now Team Chezza and Will Young….we’re waiting to see who Simon pull’s out of the bag…Sinitta perhaps??!! As for Louis, he’ll just recycle another Irish boy band member!!

According to weekly gossip magazine ‘US’, the celebrity couple are well and truly over with Justin ending it over a month ago, via wait for it girls….A phonecall!! Cop Out! Come on Justin (if it’s true), you could have had a bit more style in the dumping department.

Whilst in New York this month to promote his latest designs for label ‘William Rast’ at NY Fashion Week, Timberlake was ‘apparently’ spotted getting close to a girl who definitely didn’t resemble Biel. She is said to be distraught at the break-up and won’t accept it’s over.

Watch this space for any more news….and Match.com for any ads mentioning a single young male, into fashion and music with a ‘sexyback’

What a little porkster K-Fed has become! The ex-dancer and ex-hubbie of Ms Spears has been piling on the chip fat in recent months, leading to the well earned name of ‘Well-Fed’!

But sources in the US claim that Mr Podgy has finally decided to ditch the man-fat and take part in the hit VH1 show ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ for it’s new season of filming. Along with Bobby Brown (ex Mr Whitney Houston), Well-Fed will be put through his paces in a series of gruelling tasks to help him shape up and say goodbye to mac and fries.

K-Fed might be able to get fit, but Bobby Brown?? He’ll always be a loser and not in the weight department, oh now Showbiz-i…don’t be cruel!

Remember Laura White, the X-Factor favourite in the ‘girls’ category with Chezza Cole last year, who was voted out in a shock exit after a sing-off with Ruth Lorenzo. Well now she’s back.

In the style of the bounceback rejects (who always seem to do better than the winners), Laura has shed the pounds, glammed up and shaken off the comparison to Amy winohouse and is set to storm the charts with her debut single ‘You Should Have Known’. 

For a taster of what’s to come, check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Yyq13UYXA.  Let’s hope she gets more votes for this, still sounds a bit Amy-ish to me!

You’ve heard of Phileas Fogg right? Tortilla chips?…no, not that one…I’m talking about the one who travelled around the world in 80 days!

Well now a team of celebs are attempting to re-trace his epic steps, in a global relay in, well, 80 days, all for BBC’s Children In Need. Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker from BBC 1′s Countryfile are taking part, along with a host of other celebs including Mylene Klass (god she’s everywhere isn’t she!), Jon Barrowman (him too!), Shane Ritchie (he’s not!) and Josie Lawrence (who!).

The TV special will divide the journey into six legs,  each undertaken by a celebrity pair in an against-the-clock challenge.  Each team will be raising money for Children in Need and also bringing back a few souvenirs from their travels,  to be auctioned off for charity later.

Amongst the intrepid travellers, Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker have already set-up sponsorship pages, so click their links at the bottom of the page and show your support. My money is on Jules and Matt…come on team Countryfile!  Tune into BBC1 on Nov 20th to watch the show and see which team are triumphant as the 21st Century Phileas Foggs!

So we all thought Kanye West did himself no favours when he ruined Taylor Swift’s MTV Award speech at the VMA’s and he soon became public enemy number uno! That is until now, enter the Gaga lady, who has been friends with West for years and has told everyone to leave poor Kanye alone??!

 ”I would say he’s a good guy and everybody makes mistakes,” GaGa told a Las Vegas radio station. “He feels so f***ing bad. He really does… Everyone likes to focus on gossip, but he’s changed music and he’s really prolific and an incredible person, and I think it’s unfair to judge somebody on one mistake they’ve made. I felt like that [VMA] moment really portrayed him in a way that he really isn’t. It was just a random moment.” Um, he’s “prolific” and “incredible”?

Hmm….Gaga definitely lives up to her name supporting that ego-maniac and he’s not even that good!
