Cheryl Cole quits UK X Factor for the US Version!

Cheryl Cole is back with a bang and a big one at that!  Massive headline just breaking on the UK wires late yesterday headlining in the Daily Mail and that is Cheryl Cole is quitting the UK X Factor and looks FINALLY to be signed up to be a judge on the US X Factor which goes live soon. Simon Cowell is also rumoured to be making just a few guest appearances on the UK Version so he can also concentrate on the US Version.
Many questions immediately spring to mind!  Firstly who is replacing Cheryl Cole and also who is replacing Simon Cowell on the UK Version? How will this affect viewer numbers and will this see the show ratings going into free fall and advertising revenue also going down the plug hole?  Will Cheryl be taking some voice coaching lessons so that she loses the edge of her Geordie Twang or will she keep it for authenticity and have the audience completely baffled? Will they use subtitles if they go this route? Will Fame Fad be closing down as a result of this headline?
What The …..!
This headline seems to be good news for two people and that’s Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell. The deal for Cheryl is rumoured to be in the £3Million category so is not to be sniffed at and makes her UK contract look a joke in comparison. This will also help her crack the US market with her musical career. Question is where does it leave us here in the UK with our national treasure now flaunting herself over in the states.
So the US Line Up on X Factor looks to be Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and L.A Reid with Paula Abdul being a very strong rumoured contender for the fourth coveted seat.

Beyonce shoots new music video in Mojave desert?

Beyonce has been quiet recently music wise but she is not one for being quiet for long and there are some rumblings coming from the Beyonce corner.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics

May 7 2010. US singers Beyonce (L) and Jay-Z (R) watch courtside as the Boston Celtics play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the secon quarter of their Eastern Conference Semifinal round playoff game at the TD Bank Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, USA 07 May 2010. The best-of-seven series is tied 1-1.

Whilst watching names like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Katy Perry hogging the current musical limelight not to mention the recent Kelly Rowland and her very decent ‘Motivation’, she is probably thinking it’s about time to stick the cat amongst the pigeons!

She’s working on a new single which involves her using 200 African dancers and this is currently being shot in the Mojave desert. According to Music Rooms the promo vid was shot in LA last week

Neve Campell and the rest of the line up for this latest outing of Scream were at the Weinstein Company “Scream 4″ premiere held at the Graumans Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Other stars at the event included Courteney Cox, Rosanna Arquette, David Arquette, Hayden Panettiere and Adam Brody and not forgetting the director Wes Craven and quite a few more.  A bit of a turnout for this one. Check the guest list at the foot of this article.

With the film poster stating “new decade…new rules” is this film getting a bit long in the tooth or will it pull the Scream fans in for another dose of masked terror. It’s got the star line up including Neve Campbell who was in this film from the very beginning and the backing of the infamous Hollywood Weinstein Company, will that be enough to cause box office mayhem or will this just be a damp squib in box office terms as we think this film is starting to get a bit “samey”?

This Scream 4 film has been written by Kevin Williamson who wrote the films Scream and Scream 2 which were decent if that is your thing, so on paper it should be OK and hopefully better than Scream 3?
