You've read the headlines... now read the stories behind them.
The Daily Star says…
Sneaky Louis Walsh has ordered his JLS boys to keep hitting on Cheryl Cole’s sexy girl finalists to stop them from winning this year’s show.
The cheeky mentor wants his boyband to sabotage Alexandra and Diana’s hopes of success by distracting them with romance!
We don’t think it’s true! Whilst the JLS boys are certainly charmers, Cheryl’s girls are far too focussed on the end goal to throw it all away now… no matter how persuasive the lads can be!
The Sun says…
Troubled star Amy Winehouse stunned X Factor judge Louis Walsh — by sending him a green tie and shamrock cufflinks that arrived at the studios just before he went on air on Saturday night.
It’s true! Amy sent the gift to Louis as a thank you for looking after her goddaughter, Dionne, who visited The X Factor studios last week.
The Sun says…
Eoghan Quigg must have the luck of the Irish when it comes to the ladies — after cosying up to Kate Moss! Eoghan got chatting to the supermodel backstage after Saturday’s show, and nattered away with her for ten minutes before realising who she was!
It’s true! The 16-year old Irish lad appears to be a real magnet for the ladies – no matter who they are!
The Metro says…
The X Factor finalists performed a secret gig for competition winners at a Carphone Warehouse store in central London last night.
It’s true! Last night in Oxford Street the final four sang a selection of songs they have already performed on this year’s show, a gathering of competition winners and journalists were invited to attend the secret gig.
The Mirror says…
As X Factor was mesmerised by Britney Spears – Simon Cowell was thinking SHE was starstruck by HIM! The music mogul said: “This may be a bit egotistical but I think she was in awe of me!”
It’s half-true! Simon possesses a very dry sense of humour and when pressed on his meeting with Britney he joked: “She was just staring at me. I said, ‘Touch me, I’m human,’ and I think that broke the ice!”
