The X Factor - Gamu Nhengu releasing Christmas single

It's not over yet. I'm sure you remember Gamu Nhengu? The X Factor Finalist girl that Cheryl Cole didn't pick to be in her top 3 or wild-card and the nation rioted and sent death threats to our national sweetheart and generally went crazy? No? Really? That should remind you.


Anyways guess what? She's back and wants to kick The X Factor's ass! She's releasing a christmas song to battle the X Factor's winner's single for charity. 


No seriously though, the song is for a charity called Aberlour, which helps disadvantaged children in Stirling. (Where is that?)


Speaking about the song Gamu said : "From the minute I heard the song, I loved it. This is the first time I have done anything like this, so I was really honoured when Mr Clifford asked me to record it."


Ablerlour said: "We have had a long association with Gamu, who has sung at our Christmas concert for the past three years. A small record company in Glasgow has taken the song on as a charitable project to release it in a small way because we can't spend a lot of money on the single. Gamu has always had an amazing talent. Even when she did our Christmas concerts, she stunned the audience with the power and emotion in her voice. We have always known she is a talented young person. The song is a good, strong one for Christmas. It is a festive song. The power and emotion of Gamu's voice shines through. We always knew she is a great talent."


The track 'Where Will You Sleeping This Christmas?' will be released on 13th December and you can check it out below!

Royle Family Christmas Details

The Royle Family are returning yet again this Christmas!


Although the BBC series ended back in 2000, 4 Christmas Specials have aired since and this going to be the 5th, titled 'Joe's Crackers'.


Here's what's happening this year:


It's Christmas day at the Royles and Barbara is up to her eyes in it as Jim is out of action due to an unfortunate incident in the precinct. Dave and Denise are obviously feeling the coalition the most and worry that Anthony's lavish gifts will eclipse their gift of a fridge magnet. Joe reminisces about a tipsy evening of naked wrestling in front of the fire with Bobby Carter while Cheryl recounts her romantic encounter in the local supermarket car park. 


All the cast are returning and the episode air obviously on Christmas Day. Will you be watching?

Soap Watch

Check out the trailer for Corrie's 50th as well as the schedule for the week of celebrations. I shouldn't really be calling it that since there's nothing to really celebrate. Watch out for that tram. 

A set worker was sent to hospital a few days ago after receiving an electric shock from christmas decorations. She was thrown from her ladder but is said to be recovering. We hope she's alright! Nothing much else going on in the street really. But, are we excited for the tram crash? Make sure YOU watch and make sure you tell everybody you know to watch too! This really isn't to be missed! 

Thomas Law who has played Peter Beale since 2006 is rumored to be leaving the show. He recently filmed scenes which showed him leaving the square but apparently it's open for him to return. Thomas will be making his stage debut in a production of Peter Pan in Salford.

In other news it's been reported that the actors taking part in the cot death/child kidnap plot have broken down in tears while filming the traumatic scenes. Filming stopped for an hour as the cast and crew found it hard to film without getting emotional. Wow, it must really be heartbreaking. The scenes will be shown around New Year.

The Wylde's are coming to an end soon enough. Check out this interview with Lyndon Ogbourne who plays Nathan Wylde about his final story line in the soap.

By know we should all know Warren Fox ISN'T dead. He's very much alive and we still don't know how! This will all change when Hollyoaks airs a special stand-alone episode featuring flashbacks to the fire at the club. Jamie Lomas who plays Warren Fox took to his twitter and said viewers will find out how he got out, what happened afterwards and exactly who's badly burnt body it was they found? All very intriguing. I'm excited to see how he's alive. 

Well, that was emotional. Ringo Brown is dead. Steph ran him over on her scooter, she's distraught and just been arrested. Donna is crushed. Sad days in Aussie. I feel, I have to say this. Neighbours have been doing extremely well over the last few weeks, even months. Less and less silly storyline and more serious stuff that actually interests viewers and makes them care and not switch off. Take not Susan Bower. I've also discovered, Neighbours does incredibly well on YouTube, with each episode receiving over 10,000 views! It's not dead yet. 

The 2010-2011 TV Season - Fox Denies Running Wilde a Full Season

FOX has announced it will not be ordering a full season of new show Running Wilde.

While the show hasn't been officially cancelled, it is expected to be. Running Wilde premiered back in September and ratings been extremely low. 

The show is about a self-obsessed billionaire who is reunited with his childhood sweetheart who is now an environmental activist. (I know your yawning right now, don't worry I am too.)

FOX recently removed the show from it's schedule but it is expected to return 30th November.

Ke$ha Likes To Eat Humans...

It's a really weird song, yet strangely it's my favourite from her new EP titled 'Cannibal'. What do you think of it? 

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! - Nigel Havers Leaves

We have out first waker this year. Nigel Havers has left the Jungle.

Speaking about his exit he said: "I cannot waste another second of my life in here. It's becoming endless. Every day is like a year. I can't talk any small talk anymore. I just can't do any more of it. I'm up to here with the inane constant conversation."


He departed the camp this morning was placed in a 6 star hotel (I didn't even think those were possible!). His exit will be screened tonight.


In other I'm A Celeb news, Gillian Mckeith "collapsed" live on air when she was chosen to do a Bush Tucker Trial. Silly woman.

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Seven: The Results

So it's time for the results show. Olly Murs gave a great performance of his new single and The X Factor finalists singing this years charity single was great too!

So in the bottom two thing was:

Cher Lloyd

Paije Richardson

Simon sent home Paije.
Cheryl sent home Paije.
Dannii sent home Cher.
Louis sent home Paije.

Yes, Paije has been booted out thank god! It's criminal that Wagner was not in the bottom two and got all excited about it. it was criminal that Cher was in the bottom two, but she played it smart and sang the song which she is most recognized for and the song in which I became a fan of her. 

But we have The Wanted, Justin Bieber AND Nicole Scherzinger next week so that will be exciting!

What did you think of tonight's result?

Black Eyed peas have also entered the top 10 with their new single 'The Time'!

Obviously over in the albums chart, Take That are at the top after selling an amazing 520,000 copies in one week. Crazy! 

The X Factor - Live Shows Week Seven

It was Beatles week on The X Factor and yet again it was a boring show except the fight between Cheryl and Simon over "stair-gate" as Dermot O'Leary embarrassingly called it and Cheryl and Wagner over Wagner's comments about her being "just a lucky girl from a council estate". Draaamaaa!

Anyway let's have a deeks at the performances:

Best:

Matt Cardle. Every song he sings, he makes beautiful. I don't know how he does it. I want him to win. 

Hello Mary! It's been a while since you were here but your back! And you were brilliant. Keep it up!

Worst:

Oh my god. Get off you big creep. That is all I have to say on the matter.

So what did you think of The X Factor? I think were at the stage, who do you want win?

Strictly Come Dancing - Week Eight (Blackpool!)

This week the show has moved to the home of Ballroom, Blackpool! It's always a good show here and this year was no different! Here's the opening of the show which was brilliant!

Let's take a look at the Blackpool leader-board:

Matt Baker & Aliona Vilani – 38
Pamela Stephenson & James Jordan – 37
Kara Tointon & Artem Chigvintsev – 35
Scott Maslen & Natalie Lowe – 32
Felicity Kendal & Vincent Simone - 30
Patsy Kensit & Robin Windsor – 28
Gavin Henson & Katya Virshilas 27
Ann Widdecombe & Anton Du Beke – 13

Matt Baker finally got a 10! And not just one but 2! And well deserved they were. He was terrific. Scott Malsen took another tumble but not has dramatic as his last one. Pamela Stephenson climbing back towards the top where she belongs after an amazing performance which you'll see further down! Dear, oh dear. Ann Widdecombe. 13 points. 1 from Craig Revel Horwood. Does this not tell you something love? GO AWAY. 


Time to look at the best and worst dances:


Best:





Matt is one of this year's celebrities who is constantly good and usually within in the top 4. While some of his previous dances should have gained him a 10, they didn't until now! It was well deserved because this was a great dance!






Yaaay. Pamela is back! This was fantastic! More 10's well deserved. Great acting here between herself and James Jordan. I love their partnership. Great job Pamela.





Kara caused her partner Artem a serious injury in the rehearsal and they come out with this? Wow! He looked in a great deal of pain in the VT before they danced so god know what was going through his head when they were doing it.  This was brilliant by the way. I really like Kara. I didn't at first but now I do. I also heard Artem is 42? True or false? Great job guys!




Worst:




"Overwhelmingly Awful" - Craig Revel Horwood.


So what did you think of Blackpool's show? Who will go tonight?


Make sure you watch the results show tonight and check back here afterwards for my thoughts!
