4th April 2011 Round-Up

So what happened on this fine Monday? Glad you asked really, here's your round-up for today!


1. Wor Cheryl has been confirmed for US X Factor?


Apparently so. Confirmed judge L.A Reid (still no idea who he is) was quoted saying that he had no idea who the 4th judge was but he hoped they have a good connection with himself, Simon and Cheryl. Cat out the bag much? Let's ask this question though. Should Cheryl judge the American version of X Factor? I mean really. In my opinion, I don't think she should. First of all if she did, it would dampen my hopes of Girls Aloud getting back together at some point before 2012. Second of all, I'm not sure if the America population know who you are? And will they have the same reaction to you as we did, I highly doubt it. Just stick to the UK version Cheryl man. American readers! This question goes to you! Do you know who Cheryl Cole is? (don't use google)


2. The Vampire Diaries is back!





After another small break, one of my favourite TV Shows is back for it's final 6 episodes of the season and by the looks of things, their gonna be deadly! VD returns to UK screens on 12th April on ITV2! Exciting!


3. Kedollarsignha is touring the UK!


I love that skank but I hate her because she's not coming to where I live. Ke$ha has announced she will be touring the UK for the first time headlining. There's only a few dates which is quite shocking considering how big and well known she is. Confused. Anyway, here's the dates and where she's playing:

• June 23 & 24 -Glastonbury Festival
• July 3 - Birmingham Academy
• July 9 - T in the Park Festival
• July 11- Manchester Apollo
• July 13 - London HMV Hammersmith Apollo

If your lucky enough to live near those places or happen to be going to those festivals, I have a strong dislike towards you, unless you take me with you of course. Then I'll be your best friend forever :)

4. Adele is a record breaker!

She's really going places isn't she? And don't we all know it. Adele has broke yet another record with her massive album 21. On Sunday it charted again at the top spot becoming the first album in 25 years to hold onto Number 1 for 10 consecutive weeks. Her debut album also sits on number 2 and is the second best selling album of 2011 so far, after of course 21. Impressive isn't even the word to describe her success. 

5. Fancy some Glee news?

Well here's some amazing news. You might already know that a future episode (18 to be exact) will feature around Lady GaGa's smash song 'Born This Way'. Apparently the episode has so much stuff going on, it's been extended to 90 minutes! Brilliant. Executive producer Ian Brennan confirmed the extension after it was rumoured last week. He said that he is very excited because they have to cut down most episodes and throw away alot of good stuff, and now with this episode they get more screen time. I bet it's going to be amazing!

The X Factor - Glee cast to perform?

How amazing would this be? 


Apparently, Simon Cowell has negotiated a deal for the Glee Cast to perform a medley of their songs during one of the results show. Although it's been said there are a few teething problems. Both production team's want to be in charge and it could cause arguments. 


Sort it out guys. Imagine how amazing this would be? The X Factor is where the world's biggest stars come to perform and Glee are one of the biggest and most popular right now so this is ideal. Especially with the second season coming to our screens in January on E4.

Randy Mere?

Miley Cyrus' new music video for 'Who Owns My Heart' has come under criticism by the Parents Television Council for being too sexual. They claim that Miley should not be seen wearing hardly any clothing and being sexual towards the camera. I don't think it's that bad. I've seen worse and I like the song. The PTC over react to EVERYTHING. They slammed Glee's Britney episode recently too! 


What do you guys think? Should Miley cover up? Is she setting a bad example to her younger fans? Let us know.

We all love Glee! We all love Britney Spears! (and don't lie to yourself, you do) What do you get when these two come together? BIG ratings!!!

The ratings for the episode came in today and wow is the only word. 13.3 million people tuned in to see the Glee kids sing some of Ms. Spears amazing songs. This is the show's highest rating. 

I can't wait to see it! If anyone you have seen it, what did you think? Please don't give any spoilers unless you warn us first!
