View Full Version : X factor news
CHERYL Cole has revealed she plans to go into pop management alongside Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell when she hangs up her microphone as a singer.
The Girls Aloud beauty, 25, wants to guide young acts to stardom like her fellow X Factor judges.
Cheryl rose to fame under the guidance of Westlife manager Louis, 56, after she won Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.
But she revealed it is tough-talking Simon she identifies with. She said: “Simon and I think alike and I’d like to manage some acts like he does. Someone said I’m the female version of Simon — I don’t quite know how to take that!”
Cheryl was devastated when her protegé Diane Vickers was voted off on Saturday. She told her: “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of you.”
The star, whose hubby Ashley was exposed as a love rat by The Sun, also revealed she is considering having children. She said: “Girls Aloud wouldn’t break up.”
X FACTOR’S Ruth Lorenzo is all smiles — after revealing she’s been offered a string of recording contracts.
Ruth, voted off two weeks ago, can’t strike any deal until the talent show’s tour is over.
The 26-year-old, spotted in London yesterday, said: “Lots of people want to give me contracts, I’m so excited. I’m not allowed to sign until the tour’s over. It’s in our contracts.”
She added: “I’m looking forward to the tour because I’ll be with my best friend Alexandra. I miss her and I want her to win.”

EOGHAN Quigg reckons he’s worked harder than the other X Factor finalists —because he’s still at school.
While other contestants have been rehearsing their routines the 16-year-old has been doing his classwork with a special tutor.
He said: “It’s really hard work but it’s been well worth while.”

TAKE THAT have sensationally pulled out of The X Factor final — after hearing that old rivals Boyzone are on the bill.
Their move plunged the ITV1 show into chaos last night.
Desperate efforts were being made to book another act for Saturday’ s finale.
A source said: “Take That are huge fans of X Factor, especially Gary Barlow. He feels a real affinity with the show and loves encouraging new talent. When they heard Boyzone were on the bill they decided not to do it. It’s really upset the schedule.”
After Take That discovered Boyzone’s fellow Irish crooners Westlife were also lined-up, they dug their heels in even further.
Beyonce, Seal and Duffy will sing with the finalists. Show supremo Simon Cowell yesterday publicly backed Alexandra Burke, 20, to win. She heads JLS and Eoghan Quigg in our online poll.
More than 12,000 votes have been cast — with 49 per cent for Alex.
Im really sad that they arent gonna perform in the final :(

Well thats a bit big headed of them. So what if Boyzone and Westlife are playing too, they obviously haven't a problem with each other. How juvenile.:rolleyes:
pathetic. never been a fan of Take That, but I've lost any respect for them after this. Hope Simon remembers this and makes their lives hell in the future.
It might have been Simon's idea :hmm:
It might have been Simon's idea :hmm:
:eek:
Well I still like them, Im not gonna let this change my opinion about them, it is sad though
From those 'man' bands Westlife are the best anyway, so I am not bothered whether TT turn up or not. :)
Take That have denied pulling out of an appearance on this Saturday's X Factor final, insisting that they were never scheduled to perform.
Earlier reports suggested that the group had refused to appear after discovering that recently reformed boyband Boyzone would also be present.
However, a spokesperson for Take That said that the band was "never confirmed" and "never scheduled" to appear.
The representative told Gigwise that the group will be in Europe this weekend as part of a pre-arranged promotional tour.
An X Factor spokesperson commented: "There is no truth to the reports today, we would absolutely love to have Take That back on the show, but we have always been aware that the band have other commitments in Italy that night so have never been available to perform in the final."
Just shows you that people should wait for the truth to come out and not jump to conclusions.....:rolleyes:

People are always going to react to the information they get at the time....its human nature to have opinions...they aren't set in stone and can be changed/modified with the more facts they receive...
...this place wouldnt exist if people didn't share their views!
And who knows for sure what the truth is?
X Factor chiefs are convinced Britain’s top reality TV show is the victim of a spiralling dirty tricks campaign.
They believe there is a vendetta aimed at nobbling the ITV1 talent show and spoiling Saturday’s big final for 13m fans.
Show bosses fear the concerted campaign is being masterminded by a jealous former contestant or their family in league with a disgruntled show insider.
Producers have been horrified by a steady stream of damaging leaks and false stories about the judges and contestants.
Now they have launched a huge security investigation to discover the person responsible.
The smear tactics include:
Leaking of confidential contracts signed by all the finalists.
Highly-sensitive voting patterns being leaked onto the internet.
False reports of bust-ups between the judges and contestants.
Simon Cowell’s car being bugged.
Untrue reports that Take That had snubbed the final because Boyzone were also scheduled to appear.
Britney Spears facing a barrage of criticism over her so-called backstage demands.
A steady drip of untrue stories about hopefuls including Diana Vickers, Alexandra Burke, Rachel Hylton and Daniel Evans.
Unfounded accusations that the show was “rigged” to save Diana Vickers at the expense of Laura White.
An internet campaign which saw 50,000 “fans” criticise the show and demand Laura be reinstated.
And previous winner Leon Jackson has joined in the criticism, blasting the judges for creating more stories about themselves and stealing the limelight from the acts.
The 19-year-old Scottish singer, who won the fourth season of the hit TV talent show, said: “I think it gets clouded a bit these days when the judges are having their confrontations.
“It should be more about the acts, in my opinion.”
All the negative stories and leaks threaten to overshadow the most keenly-contested final ever between Eoghan Quigg, 16, Alexandra Burke, 20, and boy band JLS.
A highly-placed X Factor source said last night: “Frankly, we’ve been horrified at the vicious nature of these leaks and false stories.
“Some of these go way beyond the normal sort of stuff which comes out about the show. These have been highly vindictive and very damaging.
“We believe there is a concerted bid to nobble the show and try to tarnish it.
“There’s also been leaks about voting patterns and contracts – obviously some of this information is so sensitive it can only have come from someone with an intimate knowledge of the show.
“We believe it could be an employee with a grudge who is feeding this stuff to the people behind the campaign.
“It could be a contestant who didn’t go as far as they thought they should – or their relations – might have an axe to grind We believe we know who it is – we’re gathering the proof before exposing them.
“Much of the claims about the bust-ups between the judges are not based on any truth at all.”
Take That were last night “fuming” at the false reports they had pulled out of Saturday’s final.
A spokesman said: “We’ve no idea where this report came from. Take That were never asked to appear.”
A show spokeswoman said: “X Factor is the biggest show on TV – it’s inevitable that some people will hate us.
Just shows you that people should wait for the truth to come out and not jump to conclusions.....:rolleyes:
People are always going to react to the information they get at the time....its human nature to have opinions...they aren't set in stone and can be changed/modified with the more facts they receive...
...this place wouldnt exist if people didn't share their views!
I do get but your saying but if you really think about it would they be as petty as that???? Id be saying the exact same thing if it was the other way about boyzone refusung to go on because take that were playing, this is their careers they cant just pick and choose no matter how big they are
Simon Cowell has hinted that Robbie Williams could make a surprise appearance on this weekend's X Factor final.
The judge insisted that it is not too late for the former Take That star to perform on the show, adding that the public are in for a surprise.
"I would love Robbie to be there on Saturday night. And it's never too late," he said. "He's still one of the biggest stars in the world. He's great.
"You might be surprised on Saturday, I wouldnt go along with everything you read!"
Asked whether he thinks Williams should rejoin Take That, Cowell responded: "That's a tricky one, I think I'd keep it as it is. He could do a guest slot now and again."
The X Factor concludes Saturday at 7.10pm and 9.40pm on ITV1.
Rihanna has reportedly cancelled her plans to appear on this Saturday's X Factor final.
The singer was rumoured to be performing on the show alongside finalists JLS, but is said to have decided to pull out.
JLS will instead be performing with Westlife, who were originally scheduled to sing with Alexandra Burke, according to Heat.
Burke, the bookmakers' favourite to win the competition, will now take to the stage with Beyoncé, while Eoghan Quigg will team up with Boyzone.
This final really does appear to be jinxed :(

SIMON COWELL has warned it is crunch time on The X Factor — as cutbacks mean the runners-up may not get recording contracts.
The music mogul last night admitted the top prize £1million deal could be all that is on offer this year, adding to the pressure on the finalists to win.
Simon, 49, said: “In the current economic climate it is more important to win the show this year than any other. Like every other business, the record industry is tougher than it was a year ago.”
Boy band JLS, Alexandra Burke and schoolboy Eoghan Quigg will battle it out on the ITV1 talent show tomorrow for the once-in-a-lifetime contract. Simon’s label Syco, a division of Sony BMG, has first refusal on finalists.
Last year winner Leon Jackson plus runner-up Rhydian Roberts and third-placed Same Difference were signed.
In 2006, runner-up Ray Quinn got a deal alongside winner Leona Lewis. But with belts being tightened, nerves were jangling last night as this year’s hopefuls appeared with mentors Simon, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh, plus judge Dannii Minogue.
Simon said: “Cheryl and Gary Barlow have both said for an artist it is the most terrifying show on TV to perform on. The fact these guys come out week after week and turn out these performances is unbelievable.”
Cheryl, who performed on X Factor with her band Girls Aloud this series, added: “It’s the scariest thing I’ve done on TV. It made me think, ‘Wow, how do they do it?’”
Simon also said he was “embarrassed” after details were leaked of the lengthy legal contract finalists have to sign, including clauses banning them from criticising him.
He said: “I wasn’t aware I was one of the clauses. You can’t be horrible about me. That’s probably the most useless clause in the history of contracts, because everybody does talk horribly about me. And you know what? I don’t care.”
As The Sun revealed, the final will feature Alexandra performing with US star Beyonce, JLS with Westlife, and Eoghan with fellow Irishmen Boyzone. The winning act will release a cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah in a bid for the Christmas No1 single.
Simon said: “This is the most exciting final yet. I genuinely can’t call it. That’s what a final should be about, their performance on the night. It will be a right old ding-dong.”
Dannii Minogue was humiliated yesterday as X Factor supremo Simon Cowell pointedly refused to confirm her future on the show.
When asked if she would return as a judge next year she raised her eyebrows and said: “I don’t know. Ask Simon?”
He looked upwards and – in an obvious attempt to avoid answering – said: “Has anyone looked at the ceiling?”
The singer has talked about how she felt “snubbed” by Simon even before yesterday’s blow to her standing.
Simon said later: “If you had asked me this same thing last year about Sharon Osbourne I would have said I’m assuming it’s going to be the same panel.
“But then you sit down with the lawyers and the agents and the managers get involved, blah blah blah, so you have got to keep an open mind.”
Former judge Sharon, 56, left the show after four series and was replaced by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole, 25.
An insider said: “It is absolutely clear that Cheryl is now the favourite and Simon is not spending as much time with Dannii Minogue any more.”
Asked if he was surprised by Cheryl’s massive success on the show, Simon said: “If you bring someone on, you don’t bring them on to be unpopular.
“I had to really, really twist Cheryl’s arm because she didn’t know how big she was going to be. I kept saying to her, ‘If you do this, not only is it going to be great for the show, it’s going to be great for you.’ And she has become, well, she must be the most popular person on TV.
“More popular than me now... annoying, but it happens.”
Sources claim Dannii, 36, fears she will be passed over “for a younger model” as Sharon was and will be gone next year.
Simon said: “We are going to sit down with everyone in January and that’s when we will draw up contracts.
“I don’t know what will happen but I would be surprised if it’s a different line-up. And Louis is going to have some work done.”
Louis Walsh, who has recently said he feared his days were numbered, is another clearly feeling insecure about his job.
He replied: “Is that going to be written into the contract too, Simon?
“Well I want to do the gig so I’ll do it. I’ll do anything.”
Louis, the same age as Sharon, has voiced concerns about securing a contract for next year after his rows with Dannii. But Simon, 48, brushed that aside, saying: “Louis hasn’t been horrible to Dannii. They break up and they make up. It’s just one of those things.”
Former host Kate Thornton was dumped with Louis before last year’s X Factor started because bosses feared they were making the show dull.
But Louis was sensationally brought back a couple of weeks into the series. Kate, 35, was the show’s presenter for the first three series but was shocked to be told she would be replaced by Dermot O’Leary.
She had been reassured she would keep her job by Simon, who declared: “Kate’s not leaving.”
Sharon said at the time: “Kate has been publicly humiliated.
“Simon should have been up front and told her. He should have said he didn’t think things were working.
“At least she could then have gone with dignity and her head held high.”
Last night X Factor bosses were frantic after US superstar Rihanna pulled out of Saturday’s live final.
An insider said: “She was scheduled to perform with JLS but now it’s not happening. The band were absolutely gutted, especially since they had been practising her hit Umbrella.”
Simon said: “The line-up for Saturday has changed so much for different reasons now that even I don’t know what’s happening. You will have to wait and see.”

louis walsh was soooo funny on the chris moyles show this morning- he let slip loads of stuff that he shouldnt!!!
alex will win- she has beyonce in her corner, the egogain and abc have two crap bands who cant get another gig except through louis
i think there is a real danger of them not landing the xmas number 1- leona might just outsell it, unless cowell pulls it off the charts- makes it unavailable. i think thats why they only released it as a digital release, they were worried if it was in shops it might just outsell the winner.
my view- boycott the x factor winner, everyone should buy jeff buckleys version of hallejuia and make that number one!!!!!!
X FACTOR judge Louis Walsh has slammed last year's X Factor winner, Leon Jackson, saying that "the public got it wrong".
In an interview with Richard Bacon on BBC Radio 5 live, Louis said: “He’s had a chance. The people voted for him and he won last year.
"Rhydian should probably have won. Rhydian is selling a lot more records. Rhydian is more of an artist. Sometimes the people get it wrong.”
Ouch. Louis also had some strong words to say about the possible reunion of Take That and Robbie Williams, saying: “He broke up the band originally. They don’t need him. He’s got his money, he can stay in LA and get all those tattoos, and be very happy.
"They’re doing much better without him. You know what? I reckon he’d probably break up the band if he came back”.
On the subject of this week's X Factor final, Louis believes JLS have every chance of winning the show.
The group caused chaos earlier this week when they performed a live gig in front of thousands of fans, which resulted in some fans being injured and taken to hospital.
Louis said: "Everywhere they go young kids love them, there’s a hysteria, it’s a fantastic launchpad for a new band and this is the new band. Absolutely."
He also confirmed that the acts will be singing Christmas songs on the final.
Boyband JLS have signed a recording contract with Epic.
The X Factor runners up secured the deal with the label today.
The group, made up of Aston, JB, Marvin and Ortise, had previously expressed concern about contractual obligations after taking part in the ITV1 competition.
"JLS are the best boy band to emerge from a TV talent show," Epic managing director Nick Raphael said.
"The band already have an incredible fan base, and I look forward to launching their recording career."
Other artists signed to the label include Lemar, Shakira and Scouting For Girls.
I wish them well, I liked them in X Factor :thumbsup:

Charlotte Church has ruled out joining the X Factor judging panel.
The 22-year-old, who recently gave birth to second child Dexter, said that joining the ITV talent show would mean taking her children away from their father Gavin Henson.
"We love that show and I do absolutely love the idea of doing something like that, but in reality I don't know how it would work," she told OK!
"I'd really get involved, but it wouldn't work with my life now because the kids will come everywhere with me and if I was based in London, that's taking them away from their dad."
Church insisted that she would have no problem working with judge Cheryl Cole, who she has previously criticised for her singing ability.
"Do you know what, I've not met her once!" she commented. "It would probably be a bit strained because I've said some stuff about her and she's said some stuff about me. However, most of it was blown out of proportion by the press and it was such a long time ago."
I think she would have made quite a good judge :)
She would have been although she gets on my nerves now and then
DANNII Minogue is facing the chop from the X Factor — but only if a replacement can be found.
TV chiefs want to axe the Aussie singer, 37, from the judges.
But they have drawn a blank on who to give her job to. An insider said: “It’s no secret they like to revamp the show every year. The chatter about Dannii going is deafening. But it has to be the right person, otherwise there is no point in replacing her.
“They want someone as good as Cheryl Cole, who has been sensational.”
Candidates for Dannii’s job include Lily Allen and Charlotte Church.
Simon Cowell is on a £20million deal but contract talks for judges Dannii, Cheryl and Louis Walsh start in March.
JLS have said that they are positive about their future since they signed with Sony BMG record label Epic.
Ortise Williams told the BBC that the group were happy to be on the same label as Lemar, with whom they will tour this spring.
He said: "We've got a fantastic deal. We're just over the moon. We've had a few meetings with them and the future's looking very, very good for JLS."
Williams added that the band had not had much contact with Simon Cowell since the end of The X Factor but claimed that the judge is "fully supportive" of the group.
Bandmate Marvin Humes said: "We want a career in music and we want our songs to be big tracks, so expect big things from JLS this year."
Earlier this month, it was claimed that the group would earn as little as £100 each for some dates on the upcoming X Factor tour.
Diana Vickers has signed a deal with top record company RCA.
The X Factor star will join finalist Eoghan Quigg on the label after Simon Cowell's own company Syco refused the chance to take her on.
Quigg was signed by the firm earlier this month, according to The Sun.
An RCA spokesman told the paper: "I can confirm we have signed Eoghan Quigg. He is a huge talent and everyone is very excited to be working with him."
Cowell's representative said that his label had decided to focus solely on X Factor winner Alexandra Burke.
Runners-up JLS were recently signed to Epic Records.
RCA, Epic and Syco are all part of the Sony Music group.
DANNII Minogue is facing the chop from the X Factor — but only if a replacement can be found.

Simon Cowell is on a £20million deal but contract talks for judges Dannii, Cheryl and Louis Walsh start in March.
Well we all knew it was coming
X Factor bosses have reportedly dismissed speculation that Dannii Minogue will be axed from the show.
The Sun had suggested that programme chiefs, including Simon Cowell, had been open to replacing the Australian judge in the forthcoming series.
However, speaking to ITN, Cowell's publicist Max Clifford has insisted that the rumours are untrue.
"These kind of things are put about by unscrupulous journalists and media people who make up all kinds of stories all the time to sell newspapers," he said.
Sinitta, who helps to mentor Cowell's contestants, added: "I honestly don't know and that's why I keep saying 'she'll be back, she'll be back'.
"Nothing has been said officially to any of us and until it is I don't know what is happening."
Final contract negotiations for the judges - which include Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole - are scheduled to take place in March.
Charlotte Church recently ruled out the possibility of joining the panel.
So, we are playing the game Will She Or Won't She, I personally could not care less.
I wish they would make up their mind, Im starting it get sick of it now
X FACTOR winner Alexandra Burke’s half-brother is working illegally in Britain as a £6-an-hour cleaner, The Sun can reveal.
Jamaican Travoir Burke, 28, does two hours five evenings a week in an office block in North London.
But a pal revealed: “He’s never had the right visa to work here.”
Last night Burke vanished as Alexandra’s spokesman said she knew nothing of the legalities of his visa status.
The starkly contrasting lives of singing sensation Alexandra and her half-brother are revealed by The Sun.
While the X Factor winner revels in a £1million recording deal and a No1 hit, Travoir Burke works ILLEGALLY in Britain.
Travoir spends two hours every evening from Monday to Friday cleaning a four-storey office block to rake in £60 a week.
A pal told The Sun last night: “He came over from Jamaica in 2003 after he got into some bother over there. He’s never had the right visa to work here.”
Unlike his Hallelujah star sister, there is no chauffeur-driven limo to whisk Travoir around.
He catches the number 120 bus to make the six-mile journey from his home to the drab offices in South Harrow, North London. His bosses at cleaning agency City And Essex were unaware he was working illegally.
Last night a Home Office source confirmed no one called Travoir Burke had entered the UK legitimately and said The Sun’s information had been passed to the UK Border Agency.
An Agency spokeswoman said:
“Abuse of the UK’s immigration system will not be tolerated. We are cracking down on illegal working because it undercuts UK businesses.”
Last night Travoir had left his two-bed semi in Southall, West London, and was believed to be in hiding.
He has a three-year-old daughter with a British ex-girlfriend and has told pals he has a daughter aged seven in Jamaica with a different partner, who he phones.
Travoir and Alexandra share the same dad, restaurant boss David, 51, but have different mums.
The pal said: “He doesn’t have a great relationship with his dad but is hugely proud of Alexandra.”
Dubbed the new Leona Lewis, Alexandra, 20, is set to make millions after winning the ITV1 show.
She is very close to her two full brothers David, 21, and Aaron, 16, and sister Sheneice, 23.
A spokesman for the star said: “Travoir is Alexandra’s half-brother who she sees occasionally.
She knows nothing of the legalities of his visa status or any work he has carried out whilst in the UK.”
Last week Alexandra’s mum ex-Soul II Soul singer Melissa Bell, 44, denied claims that she had been performing paid gigs while claiming benefit.
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has denied that he is gay.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the 49-year-old said that sexuality is not an issue when working in the music and TV industry.
He said: "I am not gay. But in this business, if you were it wouldn't matter. It is not exactly unusual to be gay in the music business or the TV business. It is 2009, after all. So if you are, you are and if you're not, you're not."
Cowell, who split from long-term partner Terri Seymour last year, insisted that he will never get married.
"I don't think marriage would suit me or the person I would marry," he explained. "I am happy single. I am friends with all my exes and I enjoy their company, but I keep crazy hours."
BUBBLY TV vocal coach Zoë Tyler said The X Factor needs her on the judging panel.
The Loose Woman regular told TV Biz that she’s awaiting the call from the ITV1 show asking her to give expert singing advice to hopefuls - as the other judges, though talented in their own rights - have no vocal coaching experience.
Zoë said: “It’s about time The X Factor asked me!
“If they did ask, of course I’d do it. They could do with a good vocal coach on the judging panel.”
But mum-of-one Zoë, whose TV credentials include BBC hit How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria and Any Dream Will Do, has another TV talent show to be keeping her busy while she waits on The X Factor - My Camp Rock.
The Disney show, which follows the Jonas Brother movie Camp Rock, sees plucky 8-16 year olds battle it out to win the chance to record their own Camp Rock track.
38-year-old Zoë said she's hoping some more boys turn up for auditions - which close on Fenruary 11 - as there's a shortage at the moment.
Zoë said: “The show’s fabulous. It’s not just basic pop singing, it’s really rocking out and it’s unusual for kids to rock out.
“We're looking for more boys and cool rock singers. I’m sure Great Britain must have some really kicking singers and I'm looking forward to teaching them."
There are some people brummie Zoë doesn’t want teach how to sing though - her Loose Women co-stars.
Zoë said: “One, I wouldn’t teach the Loose Women ladies to sing because there’s no time.
"And two I wouldn’t do it because I don’t have the patience. We natter too much and I wouldn’t be able to concentrate.”
See Zoë on My Camp Rock which premieres on Disney Channel early spring. The closing date for entrants is 11th February. For terms and conditions, please see www.disneychannel.co.uk.
Victoria Beckham is being lined up as a judge on The X Factor, it has emerged.
The show's boss Simon Cowell is in advanced talks with the former Spice Girl and is understood to have made her an offer of more than £1million a series.
Cowell apparently wants to replace current judge Dannii Minogue before the new series starts on ITV in the autumn.
Mrs Beckham, 34, has been approached by Cowell before but always put her commitments in Los Angeles - where her husband David plays football - first.
However, she is now considering signing up if Beckham transfers fulltime to play for AC Milan where he is currently on loan.
Mrs Beckham is understood to feel that a move to the show would invigorate her showbusiness career, which has failed to take off as she had hoped in the U.S..
She is said to have felt encouraged by the success that Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has had since joining Miss Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cowell on the judging panel.
And she is not thought to be overly excited at the prospect of returning to Europe just to be there for her husband.
A friend said: 'She doesn't want to come back to Europe with her tail between her legs. But if she can return here to be on the X Factor, then that is different.'
If she does join the panel, she will be vying with Miss Cole for the limelight.
Miss Minogue, 37, was said to have found it hard to compete for airtime with her younger rival, 25.
But the Beckhams and the Coles are reportedly good friends, despite Miss Cole's recent comments that Posh's clothing range is for 'older' women.
Simon Cowell's spokesman, Max Clifford, said of the X Factor move: 'Simon speaks very highly of Victoria. I know he likes her a lot. This deal has not been mentioned to me.'
'There's a gay man inside me who wants to come out'
Mrs Beckham has made the bizarre claim that there is a 'gay man' inside her who wants to come out.
She told the latest issue of Italian Vanity Fair, out yesterday: 'Just as I love women, I love gay men. I always say it, inside me there is a gay who wants to come out.'
'With heterosexual men I have nothing in common - excluding my husband, brothers and father you understand.'
The fashionista also spoke of her delight at her husband's success in Italy and said she would not rule out expanding her family.
David is due to return to current club LA Galaxy in March but since arriving at Milan he has been a spectacular success with two goals, two assists and the club have not lost since he arrived.
Speaking about having another child, Mrs Beckham said: 'If it happens, I'd love too. You can't choose what you have but after three boys I would love a girl.'
She ruled out another Spice Girls reunion, but added: 'I am still friendly with all the girls - we all met for dinner in London recently and I met Geri's new Italian boyfriend [Fabrizio Politi].'

Bring back Sharon. IT's not the same without Mrs O and Louis behaving like two-year olds.:rotfl:
So the Walking Skeletal Clotheshorse is to be a judge on X factor.
FFS my dog is more musical and he's been dead 4 years.
She will have to talk music lessons, remove her dark glasses, look at the acts and above all get a personality transplant before even thinking about appearing on X factor as a contestant let alone a blooming judge:wall:

methinks Victoria will be laughing her head off about this, they're just picking anyone they can think of to fill spaces in the papers.
DANNII Minogue will face the music next week — as X Factor bosses start negotiations over judges’ contracts.
The show’s big names will hold top secret talks with producers from Wednesday.
And as we told last month, the Aussie hottie, 37, is favourite to get the chop from the ITV1 talent hit.
But that’s only if chiefs can find a suitable replacement.
Last night a senior insider scoffed at reports Simon Cowell was in advanced talks with Victoria Beckham to become a new judge.
They said: “That is utter rubbish. Simon has not spoken to Victoria at all.”
Another source said: “Nothing is being decided or officially discussed until next week.”
Last year, Sharon Osbourne held out on signing her contract — then quit in a row over cash days before she was expected on set.
She was replaced by Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole, who proved to be a hit — and produced the show winner Alexandra Burke.
Cheryl will definitely return and Louis Walsh is sure to reappear.
Bookies back Charlotte Church as a new judge — but Lily Allen is also chasing the job.
From The Sun
Eoghan Quigg is to release his debut album in March, it has been revealed.
The 16-year-old singer, who recently signed to record label RCA alongside Diana Vickers, will become the first contestant from last year's X Factor to put out a record.
His album, whose title has yet to be confirmed, is currently listed by RCA for release on March 16 - the Monday before Mothers' Day.
Meanwhile, X Factor champion Alexandra Burke is expected to release her debut album in November.
She'll be an awful judge
Who do you mean? There are so many people being rumoured to take over :rolleyes:

i dont think she will be the judge its paper talk! it would be beneath her
The decision on who will be on the judges panel on this year's X Factor is to be made next week, according to tabloid reports.
Contract negotiations between the panel and the show's bosses will take place on Wednesday, claims The Sun.
Reports that Dannii Minogue may be replaced on the reality show have not been confirmed. However, rumours that Victoria Beckham may take over from the Australian have been denied.
A source commented: "That is utter rubbish. Simon [Cowell] has not spoken to Victoria at all."
"Nothing is being decided or officially discussed until next week," said an insider.

Yes I mean Posh, she will be awful!
Simon Cowell has decided to offer a new X Factor contract to Dannii Minogue, a report claims.
According to the Sunday Mirror, the show's chief considered replacing Minogue with Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Lily Allen or Charlotte Church, but ultimately chose to save the Aussie popstar because she kept the programme in the headlines last year.
A source told the newspaper: "He had been toying with the idea of new blood for a while, but when he looked back it became increasingly obvious that Dannii was the talking point of the last series. Simon is a very canny businessman and this is a purely business decision.
"Although sacking Dannii and getting a new judge could win viewers for the first few shows, keeping Dannii pretty much guarantees fireworks throughout the entire series."
Reports that the star was involved in a feud with fellow judge Cheryl Cole set tongues wagging last year. Minogue also cried live on air following a dispute with Louis Walsh.
The singer is currently working on Australia's Got Talent in her home country. Filming for the new X Factor series will begin in the summer.
Louis Walsh is reportedly asking for £1.3 million to work on the next series of The X Factor.
The manager and existing panel member is said to be in London this week to resolve his contract demands, The Sun reports.
It is claimed that Walsh is looking to improve on his current deal, which is valued at £800,000.
An insider said: "It may sound like a lot of money but that's how Louis sees his market value.
"He is a key reason why The X Factor has become one of Britain's most popular TV shows and he has had a lot of success in the 'real world' managing the likes of Boyzone and Westlife."
The source added that Simon Cowell is aware of the viewers' affection for Walsh and knows he will have to spend sufficiently to ensure his participation in the next series.
At the weekend, it was claimed that Dannii Minogue had been offered a new contract to continue as a judge on the talent show, despite earlier claims that she would be replaced this year.
Nice work when you can get it
ALEXANDRA BURKE has triumphed again by bagging a £3million US record deal.
Top label Epic swooped after her Christmas single Hallelujah smashed sales records.
When she finalised the contract this week, Londoner Alex told me: “I’d love to crack the US. After seeing COLDPLAY take away the awards at the Grammys I was so inspired.”
She has plenty of reason to feel optimistic about her future.
Her Stateside launch is being masterminded by the crack star-making team behind BEYONCE and RIHANNA’s successes.
And her contract with Epic is for up to an impressive five albums. Alex is flying over to the States next month to meet with X Factor boss SIMON COWELL, who will be involved in her bid to make it big.
He is determined to help her follow in 2006 winner LEONA LEWIS’ footsteps to top charts across the globe.
Alex is already on the right path. Thousands of Americans watched internet footage of her performance with Beyonce from the show finals in December.
They were so impressed that Alex’s fan website crashed due to unexpected levels of demand in the days after she beat Eoghan and JLS to the title.
And debut single Hallelujah was the fastest selling download ever, beating Leona’s debut, A Moment Like This.
Last night an industry insider said: “Epic think Alexandra can follow in Leona’s footsteps.
“The US market loves women with big voices — and Alex certainly has that. If she comes close to Leona’s success it will be a job well done.”
The label are planning a similar launch plan to the one that Sony — Epic’s parent company — used for Leona.
Her album will first come out in the UK in November and she will concentrate on promoting it here.
She will then hit the States early next year — probably after slightly tailoring the album for the US market.
But for now, Alex’s main concern is next week’s Brit Awards, where she is up for the Best Single gong.
She said: “I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the Brits. I feel so honoured to be nominated so early on. Everything is happening so fast.
“I’m going to work my socks off to make an album this year that I hope people will love and I’m really proud of.”
Cowell and the other X Factor judges must be chuffed to bits to have got the charts winner they wanted.
A job in Wal-mart would have been Eoghan’s only chance of flogging a record in the US.
Alexandra Burke has become embroiled in a rift ahead of the X Factor tour.
The series winner has been given her own backstage area for the month-long stint, allegedly infuriating the other contestants.
"Some of the finalists, including Diana Vickers and a couple of the lads from JLS, feel that Alex has distanced herself slightly from the rest of the crowd," a source told the Daily Mail.
"There has been a bit of bitching between the others, which has only been exacerbated by the upcoming tour, where Alex will have her own backstage area."
A spokesman for the 'Hallelujah' singer refuted the claims, saying that Burke's treatment was normal for the winning contestant.
"This is what happens every year. Obviously the winner gets a better deal - that’s the whole point of winning the show," the rep said.
"But this is just the way it works, it is in no way her being a diva or anything like that. If JLS have a problem with it, or want their own dressing room, then they should speak to their record label about it."
The X Factor tour kicks off in Aberdeen this weekend and concludes in London on March 25.
The ex-girlfriend of X Factor star Aston Merrygold has claimed that their relationship broke down because he is "obsessed" with actress Louisa Lytton.
Merrygold, whose band JLS were runners-up on last year's series, started dating Natalia Rush shortly after they met on a TV set in October 2007. The pair stayed together throughout the X Factor live shows in 2008 but finally hit the rocks last month.
Rush, 19, has now revealed that she became infuriated when she realised that the singer was in regular contact with his former partner Lytton, who is best known for playing Ruby Allen in EastEnders.
"All through our relationship there were three people - Aston, Louisa and I," Rush told the News Of The World. "We had a blazing row which led to me dumping him. I got back with him after he promised he wouldn't hide anything again. I could deal with Louisa being his ex but she was always there or ringing him up.
"I repeatedly told him, 'She is your weakness'. He hated me for that but he knew deep down I was right."
The teenager added that she had another row with Merrygold after discovering that he had broken his promise and continued to contact Lytton. They finally parted ways in January when the boyband star decided to end their relationship.
"I feel so used. I supported him when he was a nobody and now he has tossed me out of his life," Rush explained. "I don't want to know him any more."
JLS recently signed a record contract with the Epic label.
CHERYL Cole has thrown fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue a lifeline — by threatening to quit if Simon Cowell gives her the boot.
Show boss Cowell had been seeking a replacement for the Aussie singer, 37, but Cheryl put a stop to his plan by refusing to sign her new contract until Dannii gets hers.
The Girls Aloud beauty was worried she might not like the new judge. Names in the frame included Lily Allen, who she once branded a “chick with a d***”, Charlotte Church and Destiny’s Child superstar Kelly Rowland, who risked upstaging her.
A source said: “Cheryl told Simon straight — if it’s not her AND Dannii together, then he’s looking for TWO new stars. There’s no way he will let them both go.”
Cheryl, 25, replaced Sharon Osbourne on the judging panel in last year’s series. The source added: “The show was a bigger success than ever, and Simon knows a lot of that is down to Cheryl.”
The Geordie has told Cowell not to pull another “Kelly Brook”, a reference to when he fired model Kelly after three days as a Britain’s Got Talent judge. The source said: “She feels they don’t need a format change.”

Wow I mean I dont like Danni but good on her! And I do agree with the kelly brook comment, Simon tries to change things up too much
Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour has said that looking after him is a full-time job.
The TV presenter told Closer that she is still helping the X Factor judge to manage his schedule, even though the couple broke up last November after six years together.
Seymour said: "Looking after Simon's a full-time job when you go out with him - and I'm still doing it now!
"I'm still overseeing and finalising his new house. I've project-managed it all, right down to the furniture.
"Simon and I speak six times a day, and I see him all the time. We're happy as we are. We still see each other as much as when we were together."
She added that the pair parted on good terms and that she was surprised that they lasted as long as they did because both wanted different things.
Last month, it was claimed that Cowell wanted to get back together with Seymour.
I will do it if she does not want to :lol:
THE X Factor has been cleared of fixing votes in last year's competition.
More than 944 viewers complained about last year's show when they couldn't get through to cast their votes for Austin Drage and Laura White to stay in the competition on the weeks they were booted out.
Elsewhere, fans complained that the wrong number was given for Ruth Lorenzo and that Diana Vickers shouldn't have been allowed to automatically go through to the next round after taking a week off due to illness.
A spokesperson for Ofcom said: "Putting Diana through to the following week presented no possibility of material harm to viewers and as such rested entirely with the broadcaster and production team."
But the media watchdog today revealed that it had investigated all these claims - checking voting lines before, after and during each show - and could find no wrongdoing.
It was found that the incorrect phone number for Ruth Lorenzo was only on screen for five seconds - and hadn't caused any significant change in the number of votes cast for her, and that other technical problems had been flagged up and fixed in the first instance.
Ofcom said: “The data available to Ofcom did not indicate shortcomings in the series design, editorial judgment or administrative and technical arrangements such that viewers’ or callers’ interests were abused.”

Diana Vickers refused to be photographed by fans before an X Factor live show in Glasgow, it has been claimed.
The singer was said to have burst into tears when concertgoers tried to take pictures of her prior to the gig at the SECC, Daily Record reports.
Vickers said: "I don't want pictures, I just want to sit."
A fan said: "She's not coping with fame if she can't even cope with 25 people at her hotel."
Last month, it was claimed that Vickers and some of the other singers believed that winner Alexandra Burke had distanced herself from them on the tour.

Ruth Lorenzo has signed a record contract with EMI/Virgin, a rival of Simon Cowell's Sony BMG subsidiary Syco, it has been claimed.
According to The Sun, the former X Factor contestant's deal is being kept secret until it is formally unveiled at the start of May.
A source at the launch of Jean-Christophe Novelli's new restaurant said: "Ruth was a bit giddy with the free champagne and was telling everyone Simon was gutted she signed elsewhere.
"She said she wanted to sign with him because they got along so well during The X Factor. She said she would have loved to work with him."
They added: "Ruth says he has given her lots of advice - which she made it clear she was grateful for - and also that he had given her a lot of confidence with her singing and with her career.
"But the EMI deal was just too good for her to knock back. By the way she was celebrating, EMI/Virgin had given her big bucks."
The source also claimed that Lorenzo was overheard suggesting that EMI had described her as "the new Janis Joplin".

Simon Cowell's first job in showbusiness was reportedly to clean the infamous axe used by Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
Speaking on BBC Radio 3, the music mogul's half-brother Tony claimed that Cowell had worked as a runner on the movie, which was filmed at Elstree Studios.
"It was only a stone's throw away from where we grew up," he explained. "I well remember him saying he used to clean Jack Nicholson's axe in between takes for the most famous scenes.
"He took great pride in it, you could see your face in it, it was so shiny. It's a far cry from where he is now. I think the only thing he shines these days are his teeth."
The Shining, which was based on the novel by Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick, is widely regarded to be one of the best horror movies in history.
:eek:
SIMON Cowell is a rock music fan who spends his spare time playing GUITAR HERO in his bedroom, his brother says.
Nicholas told how the music guru, 49, plays the popular computer game to be just like hero Francis Rossi, 59, of Status Quo.
He said: “We were both into bands like Mud and Status Quo when we were growing up. He was a very frustrated guitar player. He’s got that game Guitar Hero and at night, if you go past his bedroom, you can hear it and him jumping around.”
The game sees players hit coloured buttons on a guitar controller to play along to classic rock tunes.
Nick opened up about his millionaire older bro for a channel Five profile called Simon Cowell: Where Did it All Go Right? It airs on May 20.
But Simon faces some stiff competition in the rock stakes — as Britain’s Got Talent co-judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan have shown off their air guitar skills recently.
Show sources are suggesting the trio should form a band. One said: “They cold be called SAP — Simon, Amanda and Piers.”

X FACTOR star Scott Bruton was rushed to hospital after being knocked out on stage.
Scenery fell on the 20-year-old former blue coat’s head as he performed in musical Dreamboats and Petticoats on Thursday night.
Medics said he had drifted “in and out of consciousness” and kept him in hospital overnight as a precaution.
An understudy replaced Scott in the production at Malvern Theatre, Worcs.
Scott made the final ten in last year’s X Factor.

Daniel Evans has said that contestants on reality talent shows should be more realistic in their expectations when they leave the programme.
The former X Factor singer, who is currently self-recording his debut release in North Wales, told DS that he would be happy to simply recoup his costs and "have an album to be proud of".
Evans said: "People get too wrapped up in being a celebrity, the fame and that side of it, and I think you've just got to do it for the music.
"Publicity-wise and advertising, the show is unbeatable to get you out there and known in the shortest possible time, but at the end of the day it's about the music. I think too many people think it guarantees them something and in life, nothing is guaranteed."
He added: "If more people went into the show and were grateful for the opportunities they get and make the most of what comes along, then I think people would find it a lot easier to deal with.
"There's nothing in the contract that says you're going to have this long and fulfilling career. I think you just have to live for the moment and make the most of this opportunity.
"I full well know that next year I could be back cleaning pools, and if that's it then I'm not going to turn round and say, 'Oh my God, X Factor, what have you done?'. I'm grateful for the time that I had and the things that I did on that show that I never would have dreamed of doing."
Former X Factor contestant Diana Vickers has landed a role in the West End revival of musical comedy The Rise And Fall Of Little Voice.
The singer, who finished fourth in last year's competition, will star as a painfully shy girl with an amazing voice and the ability to impersonate legendary singers such as Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey.
In a statement, the show's producer Nica Burns admitted that she was persuaded to audition Vickers after playwright Jim Cartwright insisted that she was "the perfect girl" to take on the role that made Jane Horrocks famous.
"When I saw Diana I knew immediately he was right. She has a special quality. When she finally agreed - after much persuasion - to come in and read for us, we found out that not only can she sing but she was an intuitive actress as well," she said.
Cartwright added: "This young girl is a natural actress. The moment she read the part, it was magic. A frisson ran through the room. Diana Vickers is the real deal. She is Little Voice."
Burns also revealed that Vickers had been given permission to appear in the production by her record label, after it was agreed that she could take a break from recording her debut album.
Little Voice will open at the Vaudeville Theatre, London on October 20.

Tabloid reports have claimed that X Factor stars Same Difference are in talks to host a children's TV show.
The boy-girl pop duo, who finished third in the ITV1 talent show in 2007, are working on a pilot, according to the Daily Star.
"It's an obvious route for us and we have a huge fan base for the under 10s," said bandmember Sarah Smith.
The group were dropped by label SyCo earlier this year after their debut album Pop failed to break the Top 20. The lead single 'We R One' peaked at number 13.
Earlier this month, Same Difference posted a recording of new track 'This Is The Night' on their Bebo and MySpace pages for fans.

Mel B has said that she would like to appear on The X Factor.
The former Spice Girl explained that she doesn't know if she has the time right now, but would like to join the show in the future.
"I'd like to go on The X Factor," Now quotes her as saying. "I'm not sure if I'd be able to fit it in right now but it's something I'd consider."
Louis Walsh was recently said to be thinking about asking the 34-year-old to help him at the judges' houses stage of the show.
"I didn't know that," she said. "Perhaps I should ask him."
Mel B is currently filming 7 Days On The Breadline, which will see her give up her celebrity lifestyle for a week.

X Factor judge Dannii Minogue must be feeling brave these days. The Aussie has taken it upon herself to discuss the role of Simon Cowell's ex Sinitta and she wasn't entirely complimentary.
After reportedly suffering from endless bitchy comments from the So Macho singer, Dannii seems to have finally snapped.
She told the Daily Star: "Sinitta. God love her. She actually thinks she's running the show. Maybe it should be called The Sinitta Factor.
"I heard she'd even packed her gold bikini for the judging at Simon's home at Easter."
Miaow.
Mind you, Sinitta isn't entirely innocent in this particular bitch-fest. The 40-year-old once said of Dannii: "She brings nothing new to the show," and last year insisted on blabbing about in-fighting between Minogue and Cowell.
But Dannii wasn't finished. She added: "I do love her because she is a true diva. I told her to her face and she just laughed and said: 'But darling, of course I am.'"
After her torrid time on the X Factor last year, we hope Dannii's comments won't be a step too far for Mr Cowell.
Sinitta and Cowell were in Los Angeles last night, but her spokesman told the Star: "She wouldn't want to comment."
Apparently her behind the scenes nickname is "Simon's Pet"... she must be so proud.

The X Factor's judges have agreed to release their own fragrances, according to a report.
Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole will bring out their individual scents in time for the Christmas market, The Sun claims.
It is believed that the stars will meet with experts this week to discuss how their products should smell.
A source said: "Simon says his will be the top-seller - he's already winding the other three up."
Each judge will reportedly receive a £250,000 advance under the new deal, as well as a slice of the profits. The fragrances are expected to be released under the X Factor brand.
The ITV1 talent show continues on Saturday at 8pm.

A source said: "Simon says his will be the top-seller - he's already winding the other three up."
Each judge will reportedly receive a £250,000 advance under the new deal, as well as a slice of the profits. The fragrances are expected to be released under the X Factor brand.
The ITV1 talent show continues on Saturday at 8pm.
