X Factor Style: The Best Year Ever? December 12, 2008
Posted by Laura in : Fashion , add a commentWell, as another XFactor year draws to a close, I think it’s safe to say that this has been the most action-packed and stylish X factor ever.
Top 5 Fashion X Factor
From Cheryl’s trendathon each week, to the contestans rocking the latest looks, I’ve loved X Factor this year (not as much as strictly, but still)
Saying that, JLS as much as we love you- sack the stylist!!! I mean matching white jackets and crazy coloured hoodies? No,no,no! Loved your look last week when you belted out Umbrella, it was casual, relaxed and above all not another copy of Westlife’s old look.
Diana, for me chicken you’ve not been that great. I mean sure, I love the fact you experiment with fashion and you’re quirky, but so are a million other teenagers. I did melt a tiny bit when Egnog (I know, it’s Eoghan) ran on stage to embrace a teary Di, though…ahh loves young dream 
But no, the real winner for me has to be Alex and her style. Alex: A Style Icon?
The girl can work any look- bar that crazy jumpsuit last week that made her look 50, and she’s a pretty amazing singer too, I guess!
Despite my JLS style comments, I want them to steal the X Factor crown this year, so when you win guys, give me a call and we’ll talk fashion…

Forget Tom Cruise’s reaction to his Golden Globe nomination for his work in Tropic Thunder for a moment. Mr. Cruise can’t help but think of how his foulmouthed alter ego, Les Grossman, would react to the news.
“Les would probably say something unprintable,” Cruise told E Entertainment in an exclusive interview. “First thing when you hear about that character is, just what would that guy say? It would have to be something unprintable.”
And it sounds like this isn’t the last we’ve heard from the balding, hairy-chested studio boss. Read on for all the Grossman details…
“I’ve talked about doing different videos with the character,” Cruise said. “I’ve started working with Ben [Stiller] on it, and we’ve kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven’t found the free time…yet.”
He doesn’t rule out a full-length feature film centered on Grossman: “He’s a fun character,” said Cruise, who will next be seen in the real-life WWII thriller Valkyrie. “I gotta talk to Ben, but there could be more to do with that guy.”
Grossman’s future aside, Cruise said of the nomination, “I’m really thrilled. Kate called me, and family and friends. It’s just very exciting.”
Gossip Girl

Hilary Duff is the latest celeb to latch on to this series especially loves Ed Westwick’s not-so-admired Chuck Bass.
“I don’t know why, because he’s so bad and terrible,” Duff said last night at Kitson’s Stand Up to Cancer shopping benefit. “He is so sad that I feel bad for him.”
Is Duff trying to land a gig on GG by blowin’ smoke up someone’s XOX ass? Nope.
Duff is currently developing her own prime-time half-hour comedy for NBC. “It’s exciting. I’ve been meeting with writers,” the former Disney child star said. “I’m ready to get back on TV.”
Also at the benefit was Mandy Moore, who told me she’s putting final touches on a new album with collaborator and singer-songwriter Mike Viola.
“We’re trying to do a ’70s Southern California/Laurel Canyon vibe,” she said.
Naming Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and Joni Mitchell as influences, Moore joked about sounding so, well, hippieish: “We’re gonna do a coffeehouse tour.”

Sit down, take a deep breath and get ready for the best news you’ve heard this week…. Robbie Williams is angling for an invite back into take that. Could the five some finally be reunited.
Is there anyone that Madonna can’t alienate? Despite claiming to be ‘like a virgin’ the Material Girl has only gone and pissed off the Roman Catholic Church. Oh dear, guess your album sales will be down in 2009 love.
Now you can have Michael Jackson all over your hands… ooh, not as sticky as it sounds I promise; he’s actually auctioning things (not his body parts) off for charity. Not a children’s charity though I might add.
If you want to make a good impression on the American people it’s probably not a good idea to get an assault charge, but as it’s my secret crush (probably not secret any more though!) Vinnie Jones can come and do his community service punishment at my house. He can smash up my bedroom anytime… well not literally, i do have some nice things in there.
Don’t be fooled by the loved-up front of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; apparently they spend their weekends shacked up with Brad’s ex Jennifer Aniston… that’s what Brad says anyway?
