Remember the years before Pop Idol and X Factor, when scoring the Christmas Number 1 was really exciting and a massively big deal? WELL, the ghost of Simon Cowell’s Christmas past has come to hopefully haunt him this Christmas.
Fourteen years after winning the second and final year of Pop Idol, Michelle McManus has thrown her hat in the ring and has become a surprise contender for the Christmas top spot with lots of different special choirs, who call themselves Choirs With a Purpose.
They will sing Paul McCartney’s We Stand Together and he has waived his royalties, meaning all profits from the song will be split equally between the choirs for charity work after it is released on November 24.
Who’d have thought that you can’t bring fireworks on an airplane? RONAN KEATING, THAT’S WHO. He genuinely tried to bring some sparklers in his bag through security last week on his way to Spain. He was obviously stopped and they were taken off him.
George Michael was apparently working on a dance album before he passed away last Christmas, and record bosses want to release the music – but only if his family agree. The reissue of George’s first album (Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1) is climbing the charts (currently at number 4 in UK, number 6 in Ireland)
Liam Gallagher has declared that anyone who turns up to his funeral and isn’t wearing a parka will be refused entry. He also wants his grave to read "Thank F*** he's gone". K hun.
