The X-Factor USA is here!
Fox’s much hyped British import has finally kicked off on American soil and looks set to be the biggest show of its kind.
Featuring judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Scherzinger, the show favours American Idol with its nationwide auditions. However, there is a defining twist in that groups and solo acts over 25’s are eligible to enter.

It’s that time of year again!
The 2012 Grammy Awards nominations were announced just moments ago. The 54th annual ceremony, which will air live on February 12th via CBS, featured singers Adele and Katy Perry as expected frontrunners for the nominations. However, with fellow divas Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Rihanna all making splashes on charts in the last year, the stiff competition ironically saw Kanye West lead its pack with a whopping 7 nominations.
Who else came out on top? Get familiar with the full list of nominations below…
News has season-long spread that pop sensation Justin Bieber and pop icon Mariah Carey joined forces for a reboot of her now-classic ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ single. Unveiled moments ago during the Christmas in Rockefeller Center special, see if the two pop forces mixed well enough to live up to the height in this, the premiere of its accompanying video, below:
‘Marry the Night’ maestra Lady Gaga has definitely made her fair share of headlines for her latest union with Vanity Fair. The issue, set to be the magazine’s first for 2012, mostly includes shots by famed American photographer Annie Leibovitz as well as an eye-popping photo with/by ‘The Lady Is a Tramp‘ co-star Tony Bennett.
In the magazine, the singer also outlines the highly anticipated visual for ‘Night’ – the fifth single from her latest LP ‘Born This Way’. Set for an exclusive premiere tomorrow on E! Network, the 13-minute video will be part of a 30-minute special dedicated to the singer. Chatting with Vanity Fair, the singer went into great detail about its inspiration.

To say that former Pussycat Doll frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger may be nearing the end of her 9 musical lives would be a fair assessment. For a singer whose bids to fame have boasted killer looks, discernible talent, and (not to mention) multiple sturdy platforms for lift off yet no solid launch, begs a striking question: where is the miscalculation with Miss Scherzinger?
Initially brought to the public’s eye during the infancy stages of the now-common ‘reality talent show’, Scherzinger was one of 5 finalists for the American Idol copycat ‘Pop Stars’ (on WB). The pop collective, called Eden’s Crush, saw an impressive beginning on Billboard with both a top 10 single and album. Yet, after a record label folding and no follow-up in sight, Scherzinger fell from public view until landing her next (and most successful gig to date) – Pussycat Doll frontwoman. ‘Doll Domination’ would prove to not only be an understatement, but also the purr-fect set up for its leader as the pop composite conquered Billboard charts with hit after hit. Millions sold and in the bank (not to mention a real lick of ‘celebrity’), Scherzinger leaped from her sturdiest post yet to pursue a solo career.
2007 saw the Hawaiian beauty attempt to make her first solo splash on charts with ‘Her Name Is Nicole’. Led by the thunderous T.I.-assisted, Polow Da Don-produced ‘Whatever You Like’, the debut single from ‘Her Name’ surprisingly left her name nowhere to be found on Billboard charts. With the record later shelved, Scherzinger seemed to have lost yet another footing on Billboard charts.
…until 2010 saw yet another attempt to return to charts with ‘Killer Love’. Marked as the official debut album of her solo career, the album boasted production from heavy hitmakers like RedOne and others and lifted the sex kitten to her highest heights on UK singles charts (#3 and #1 for singles ‘Poison’ and ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath‘). And, joining media mogul Simon Cowell‘s judging panel for the (once) highly anticipated ‘X Factor USA’, Nicole finally looked to board the vehicle that relaunched Jennifer Lopez’s once failing career. That is…until the ‘Try It With Me’ maestra actually…umm…tried it. ‘Poison’, ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’, and ‘Wet’ barely made splashes on the ‘Bubbling Under Charts’ in the U.S. and quickly fizzled out. Add their parent album’s ‘Killer Love’ pushback after pushback, these shortcomings collectively all but indicated ‘Love’s’ death sentence. And, of course, Scherzinger is slipping right back into a wash, rinse, and repeat of album #1.
With killer looks, dance moves, marketable music, stage presence, and three major platforms, the singer may have hit the nail on the head when she sang ‘I got that poison’ as U.S. record buyers are sleeping on this beauty’s every musical venture. Could Nicole simply be missing the very X Factor she hopes to help Simon Cowell find?
Now you weigh in: Has Nicole’s career been just a monstrous musical misstep or a mixture of marketing mishaps?
Following another successful acting stint with the play ‘What My Husband Doesn’t Know’, Michelle Williams is back.
The Destiny’s Child alum has teamed up with European DJ’s Electric Giant Beatz as the guest vocalist on their single ‘On The Run’.
Aptly, then, the 30 year old is currently here in the UK doing the media rounds in support of the release. Check out her energetic showing on Channel 5’s OK! TV today.
Bright colours, bright wig, dim talent. Needless to say, Rihanna‘s shooting a new music video.
The model, whose Navy spent so much time defending her they forgot to buy her poorly selling new album, hopes to keep the record’s flame ablaze with its second single ‘You Da One’ – the video for which she shot in London today.
Being the fair and unbias site we are, we won’t judge the clip until seeing it in its entirety. However, we just hope she and director Melina have conjured up something original. We wouldn’t want a repeat of the plaguirsm which marred their most recent efforts.
