The ‘Not Fair’ singer claims the popular programmes, which include Simon Cowell’s flagship UK programme ‘The X Factor’, are nothing more than prolonged adverts to sell records.
She wrote on her twitter page: “It’s a tv show.

Comments OffX Factor’s Jedward – don’t back them to win
October 31st, 2009 admin 
People in Britain are always complaining how skint they are – and then go throw away what little dosh they have by backing the Grimes twins to win X Factor.
It emerged this week that the twins were both born three months premature – which you have to say is one hell of a coincidence – but whoever is backing them must have been born yesterday.
Haven’t they heard of Chico, Same Difference, and the MacDonald Brothers?

July 2nd, 2009 admin 
Arriving at her 26th birthday party in a show-stopping, revealing dress, Cheryl Cole was pretty much guaranteed to be the centre of attention.But with Dannii Minogue, Emma Bunton and Holly Willoughby among her guests at Vanilla private club in London, the Girls Aloud singer wanted to be sure.So she wore a daring sheer, fringed £4,000 mini-dress by British designer Alexander McQueen.
But Cheryl couldn’t have anticipated being upstaged by her own mother Joan Callaghan, 49, who misguidedly decided to go without underwear for the occasion.Escorted by footballer husband Ashley Cole, Cheryl teamed the dress with £495 Christian Louboutin nude patent prive slingback heels.
The Coles and Joan joined a host of the singer’s celebrity friends at the party, including X Factor mogul Simon Cowell, Sir Philip Green and fellow Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.But by the end of the night, it was Joan who was causing the biggest stir among the assembled paparazzi as her desperation to keep up with the young ones became all too obvious.
Keen to show her still-petite figure in a sweatshirt grey bandeau dress, the 49-year-old unwisely decided to step out without any underwear. If she were worried about VPL – visible panty line – surely a thong would have provided adequate cover.

June 2nd, 2009 admin 
The pressure of her move to the US is said to be getting to Leona Lewis, but yesterday it was her top that was showing all the strain.As she made her way through Los Angeles airport, the X Factor star’s bust threatened to spill over her pink top which was proving just a little too snug.She teamed the baby doll top with black jeans, boots, a cardigan and her favourite Deux Lux ruffle bag.
By the time she touched down in London, she had slipped into something more demure, emerging from Heathrow in a black boat neck top.The 24-year-old has been working on her second album in the US and building her profile in the American market.She had initially planned to make her move there permanent after buying a £1.5million luxury villa in the Hollywood Hills.
‘But there are now rumours that her relocation is proving too much for her long-term boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, who remains living at their £120,000 two-bedroom flat in Hackney, East London.Leona knows Lou was reaching breaking point,’ a source is quoted as telling the News Of The World.

Cheryl Cole bitten on lips by crazed fan
May 5th, 2009 admin 
Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole was left ‘absolutely terrified’ after she was bitten on the lips by a female fan. Cole, 25, was posing for photos outside her hotel when a teenager lunged at her, and as per witnesses the X Factor judge looked “petrified” when the incident occurred.
A security guard shoved the hysterical fan, who wore a brace on her teeth, out of the way and whisked the singer into the hotel.

Jessica Taylor Strips Off For a Bubble Bath
April 10th, 2009 admin 
When last in the public eye Jessica Taylor was in floods of tears – after being booted off Dancing On Ice in the live final.But the blonde from Preston couldn’t stay down in the dumps for long.And just a few weeks later, she is all smiles again – lounging around in a bubble bath.Jessica appeared naked, but for a covering of strategically placed foam, to promote a new epilator for Braun – the Silk-épil Xpressive Wet and Dry.
Another picture shows the 28-year-old balanced on the edge of a kitchen table, showing off her newly hairless legs as she pops open a bottle of bubbly.And despite her recent mishap on the ice, where she lost out to eventual winner Ray Quinn and runner-up Donal MacIntyre, Jessica has a lot to celebrate.
It was while working in customer services department for a catalogue company that she noticed an advert for auditions for Popstars, the precursor to The X Factor.

March 25th, 2009 admin 
She recently conquered Kilimanjaro to raise £1million for Comic Relief.And now Cheryl Cole has overcome an ever bigger hurdle – her modesty.The 25-year-old Girls Aloud singer joined her bandmates Sarah Harding, 27, Nadine Coyle, 23, Kimberley Walsh, 27, and Nicola Roberts, 23, in stripping down for the group’s raciest shoot yet.
Mrs Cole, wife of Chelsea footballer Ashley, poses in a see-through PVC top and skimpy black underwear to promote the band’s new single ‘Untouchable’.Both Miss Harding and Miss Coyle opted for revealing one-piece garments while Miss Walsh leaves little to the imagination in a barely-there cat suit.
It’s a far cry from the girl-next-door image that they cultivated when they formed in 2002 in the reality show Pop Stars: The Rivals.The group have since become the most successful British girl band ever with 20 consecutive top ten hits.

December 9th, 2008 admin 
Over the weekend, she was busy checking out Art Basel in Miami, and last night (December 7) Beyonce Knowles flew up to Washington DC for the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors.
The “Crazy in Love” songstress was spotted hamming it up on the red carpet, looking ravishing in a strapless black corset-style dress teamed with a prom-style updo before performing for the long list of dignitaries and celebrities in attendance.And it sounds like Knowles may be planning a trip to England to perform on “The X-Factor,” effectively casting aside her feud with the show’s creator Simon Cowell.
Beyonce is scheduled to perform on the show’s finale December 13th, despite Cowell’s comments years ago that she’s “not sexy,” and “not a good singer.” Back then, she rebutted, “Simon wouldn’t know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face.”
A rep from the show told press, “Beyonce and Simon can put their differences from years ago to one side.
