Open any dictionary and next to the word ‘loud’ you will find several definitions including ‘noisy’, ‘offensive’ and ‘vulgar’. If these are the type of meanings that Rihanna wants her listeners to derive from her new album then she has effectively achieved her goal.

‘Loud’ is the fifth studio album to be released by the Rihanna in as many years and it features the red haired vixen doing what she does best – attaching herself to the latest trends in Pop music. However, despite being bolstered by tight production and catchy melodies, Rihanna’s blatant lack of vocal skill and originality causes the 11-track LP to be far less impressive than those of her peers.

The last few years has seen talk of a so called celebrity cult, deemed the ‘illuminati’, go into overdrive. Stars from all corners of the entertainment industry have been accused by the movement’s most vocal critics, most of whom circulate their theories on the internet forums, chat rooms, and social networking websites.

It appears the industry is hitting back at the once-laughable, now conceivable claims, with Kanye West this week speaking up on the largely un-addressed topic. The rapper’s use of ‘out-there’ imagery, most recently in his ‘Runaway’ short film, has seen him propelled to the top of the list of those supposedly ‘in and of’ the cult.

The public outrage over X Factor judge Cheryl Cole‘s dumbfounding contestant picks looks set to only intensify. For, ousted contestant Anastasia Baker has (likely for a sum of money) gone to the press with her story of unfair treatment and favouritism.

Baker made it to the Judges Houses stage of the show, only to be rejected (again) by Cole – along with the wildly popular Gamu Nhengu – in favour of Katie Waissel and Cher Llyod (both of whom botched their auditions). The mother of one has sensationally lifted the lid on how:

* The show seems fixed, with Cheryl having already earmaked who she wanted to put through

* Cher Lloyd faked illness during her final audition, after partying with two guys the night before.

* Katie Waissel was already friends with key members of the X-Factor team

* and much more…
