X Factor goes Stateside: Cher Lloyd and One Direction meet up in LA as they plot their plans for the future

By Sarah Bull



X Factor goes Stateside: Cher Lloyd and One Direction meet up at The Grove in Los Angeles


They became the most famous teenagers in the country when they appeared on The X Factor last year.

But it seems Cher Lloyd and boyband One Direction aren't content with fame in their home country.

Both Cher, 17, and the boys have descended on Los Angeles, in the hope of making a career for themselves Stateside.


Cher, who has been in America for the past two weeks, met up with One Direction - Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - at famous LA shopping spot The Grove for a spot of retail therapy yesterday.

Their reunion comes as it is reported the boys recently received a £2million investment from mentor Simon Cowell's record label Syco, on top of the £8,000 each they already received when they signed with Syco.

And while they will repay the majority of that £2million through record sales, the investment shows Cowell is confident of the group's success.

A source told the Sun: 'One Direction are in the States to meet top producers and songwriters before they start recording material for their debut album. Even The X Factor finalist usually waits nearly a year to release their material but Simon is keen to get One Direction cracking.

'They are getting stuck in and will put out a first single this spring. Then they will hear the cash register chime.'

But while One Direction have a bright future ahead of them, Cher has apparently got off to a rocky start with her career.

The teenager has allegedly been demanding to bring her own 'swagger' to her songs, asking to be allowed to record more 'urban' tracks.

A source said last week: ‘You’d think Cher would just be happy for the chance, but she’s told Simon she wants to do it her own way. She’s thrown a few heavy-duty tantrums and is, frankly, being a bit of a pain.

‘You have to admire such self-­confidence in a young girl, but she’s no respecter of authority and she’s had run-ins with a few people.’

However, while Cher might have angered some people with her at times difficult attitude, it is widely believed she is destined to become a success - both in the UK and in the States.

But before launching their own careers, both Cher and One Direction have commitments with the X Factor tour which starts on February 19th.

Who's that girl? Annie Lennox's daughter Tali unveiled as face of Julien Macdonald's new High Street line

By Tamara Abraham



Potential: Tali Lennox has been unveiled as the new face of Diamond by Julien Macdonald at Debenhams


Her mother may be the world-famous recording artist, but 17-year-old Tali Lennox already looks set to become a star in her own right.

The teenager, who is the daughter of Annie Lennox and Uri Fruchtmann, is already carving a successful career as a model, and was unveiled today as the face of Julien Macdonald's latest range for Debenhams.

And as the most outspoken judge on Britain's Next Top Model, Macdonald certainly knows potential when he sees it.


Tali, who has walked the catwalk for Prada, Burberry and Missoni, looks stunning in the collection, which is predominantly eveningwear.

With her hair in Eighties-style waves, she models asymmetric minidresses in black and punchy orange, as well as military-inspired shorts and jackets.

One LBD, which is sure to prove a hit with shoppers at Debenhams, features an oversized corsage that would put Carrie Bradshaw to shame.

Tali has also been tipped to become one of the new faces of Burberry. If the rumours are true, she will follow in the footsteps of Emma Watson and Kate Moss, and joining a line-up that includes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

In an interview earlier this month she spoke of her passion for music and fashion: 'I never expected I'd be doing [modelling]. However, I've always been very interested in and inspired by fashion. When I was younger, I used to want to be a fashion designer.

'I don't know how long I'll be modelling. But I'm not afraid of the day it ends, because I'm looking forward to focusing more on my real passions which lie in creativity.

'I always enjoyed singing at school. I had lessons, did grades and sang in the choir for years.

I'm not sure if I'd ever pursue it. My voice is a bit low and husky - not the same calibre of that of my mum's or my sister Lola's, who has an exceptional gift for singing.


Glamourous: Tali, right, with her mother, Annie Lennox, and sister Lola, who is a budding singer


'But I love music, so if the chance arose I wouldn't necessarily shy away from it.'

Diamond by Julien Macdonald is set to be a younger sister line to the exisiting Star by Julien Macdonald collection.

Debenhams describes it as: 'Flirty, fun, shorter, tighter and lower cut!
'Diamond is Julien’s signature glamorous, sexy style has been realised through glitzy flattering party pieces, perfect for a night out on the town.'

Diamond by Julien Macdonald starts at £22, and launches on Feb 1 in 40 Debenhams stores nationwide.

Cake factor: X Factor star Katie Waissel ends 25th birthday party with a massive food fight

By Jody Thompson



Birthday with a bang: Katie Waissel shows off her 25th birthday cake at London's Proud last night - complete with fireworks


Katie Waissel was rocking the punk look as she celebrated her 25th birthday last night - while brandishing a huge cake that she also ended up wearing.

The X Factor star had on black leather waistcoat covered in safety pins, a ripped black t-shirt that showed off her black bra, bondage-style tights and her favourite fringed black ankle boots.

Katie revealed on her Twitter account that the outfit had come from Top Shop - and also that the night out at London's trendy Proud had descended into a food fight.


She revealed that she and her friends ended up flinging red velvet birthday cake from London's Hummingbird Bakery at each other.

According to the Hummingbird Bakery, the £50 cake is a 'deep red vanilla confection, with a light taste of chocolate, topped with cream cheese frosting' - but made no mention of serving suggestions.

However, Katie decided on her own and wrote today on her Twitter following her night out: 'Covered in cake. :-/'


Rock on: Katie dances on the table amongst the drinks and birthday presents

Unsurprisingly however, her X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole was nowhere to be seen at her party, which saw Katie dancing on the table.

Katie revealed earlier this week that the Girls Aloud star hadn't called her since the show finished.

She told this week's Now magazine: 'I'd love to catch up with Cheryl over a glass of wine and have a girly chat, it would be fun.'


Tease: Katie gives a friend a taste of her cake as opposed to her singing


Sparks: The birthday girl gets help from a friend to hold up with cake, complete with fireworks


Once she's washed all the cake crumbs out of her hair meanwhile, Katie will be gearing up for the X Factor tour.

It kicks off on 19 February at the Birmingham LG Arena and also features One Direction, Paije Richardson, Mary Byrne, Wagner, Rebecca Ferguson, Matt Cardle, Cher Lloyd and Aiden Grimshaw.

'Having children is the most important thing in my life,' reveals Christine Bleakley

By Sarah Fitzmaurice



Feeling broody: Christine revealed that she wants to be a mother and said that children were the most important thing in her life


First she donned a huge wedding dress and now Christine Bleakley has revealed she is desperate for children saying becoming a mother is the most important goal in her life.

The 31-year-old presenter outlined her strong desire to have children on Daybreak discussing a Daily Mail article regarding the fertility of women as they age.

The debate was centred on warnings from doctors that women at 35-years-old are six times more likely to have fertility problems than women aged 25-years-old and Christine stated that having children was her highest priority in her life.


She said: ‘For me, I’m 31, I don’t have babies. And for me, having children is the biggest and most important thing I’m ever going to do in my life.’

‘It’s not about my career, it’s not about your job or anything else, it’s about that.’

With Christine reaching the age where her fertility could cause problems when trying to conceive children she was adamant she wanted children.


It's all about children: Christine told fellow presenter Dan Lobb and guests that her highest priority was having children


Group discussion: Christine was talking about the Daily Mail on the Daybreak when she made her revelations


The news may see boyfriend Frank Lampard heading for the hills as the revelations could turn up the pressure on their relationship.

Earlier in the week Christine donned a huge wedding frock on her TV show and was the first to quip that Frank might have been freaked out by her appearance and said he was ‘currently running a mile’.

The dress was in fact a mock up of a dress worn on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which documents the wedding customs of traveller people.


What do you think Frank? Christine tried on a huge Gypsy-style wedding dress on Daybreak earlier in the week


But the sheer sight of her in the wedding frock could have been her way of sending a not-so-subtle message to Frank about her intentions.

While Christine made light of Frank’s possible reaction speculation about an impending engagement have been swirling around the couple for some time, since she moved into Lampard's London home.

The couple have both spoken about their contented home life, and a source told the Daily Mail recently that Lampard has told friends that she is 'absolutely the girl for him


Happy couple: Christine and Frank attended the National Tv Awards earlier this week and looked happy and together on the red carpet


And while marriage could be on the cards soon, Christine did outline that she isn't quite ready for children.

She said: ‘I just don’t feel quite ready to do it yet. I don’t feel ready to sort of have that role.’

When it was put to Christine that at 31, she’s still quite young, Christine replied: ‘It is, well yes, but you know suddenly, you’re 35 in a flash and it’s just the timing doesn’t feel quite right and yet I still want children, so.’

Christine and Frank, who has already has two daughters with former fiancee Elen Rivas, have been together for just over a year.

Whoops! Chris Evans doesn't look too impressed after Vanessa Feltz crashes into his £300,000 Ferrari

By Sarah Bull



Fender bender: Chris Evans was stunned when he saw the damage on his £300,000 Ferrari, which Vanessa Feltz had crashed into earlier in the day


He's a proud collector of Ferraris, and has a fleet of the luxury cars to choose from when he heads out for the day.

But Chris Evans may have been left regretting his decision to take his £300,000 Ferrari 599 GTO for a spin this morning, after a fender bender which left the vehicle scratched and damaged.

However, rather than a unaware member of the public causing the damage, the guilty party was actually fellow radio DJ Vanessa Feltz, who accidentally backed her white mini into the Ferrari twice as she pulled out of a tight spot in the car park after finishing her Radio 2 show.


Accident: Evans' silver and yellow 599 GTO is a very rare supercar


Evans, 44, tried to hide his shock as he clapped eyes on the silver and yellow super-car, which had huge scratchmarks on the front bumper.

Apparently, Feltz remained completely unaware about what she had done, and headed home after the minor crash.

Evans is such a fan of the Italian supercars that he has a vast collection of the vehicles.

In the summer last year, Evans splashed out on a £12million Ferrari 250 GT to celebrate the success of his show on Radio 2.

The father-of-one posted a photograph of the red car on his Twitter page after he found out his breakfast show had pulled in more listeners than previous host Sir Terry Wogan.

He took delivery of the Ferrari 250 GTO and then posted a picture of the sought-after 1960s classic, tweeting the caption 'The new one has arrived.'

The car, described as the 'Leonardo da Vinci of motoring', would have cost £6,000 when it was new in 1963. Only 36 were ever made.

Evans had a busy morning after interviewing Elton John on his radio show.


Close call: Vanessa backed into Evans' Ferrari as she left the Radio 2 car park this morning


But the Rocket Man singer was left red-faced after accidentally saying the f-word live on air, and apologised later for saying 'that naughty word'.

Later, Evans wrote on his official blog: 'Wonderful to chat to Elton John this morning. A bundle of fun and a ton of talent. Always happy to talk about anything. He is both a superstar and a fan - the perfect combination. He loves what he does and loves the other people that do it too.

'You gotta have your projects! They keep you going. Elton John is the personification of that philosophy. I have a treasure chest of respect for him. He has been to the dark side and back, and lived to sing the tale.'

Feeling the pinch, Wayne? £200k-a-week Rooney saves his cash and gives his car a vinyl wrap makeover

By Georgina Littlejohn



Improved but not so new: Wayne Rooney shows off his old Range Rover that has gone from silver to white courtesy of a vinyl wrap


With many of us still feeling the post-Christmas pinch, buying a new car wouldn't even be a possibility.

But for a man who earns £200,000 a week, surely it wouldn't even the slightest dent in his overstuffed wage packet?

In fact, Wayne Rooney could buy a whole fleet of new Range Rovers with all the trimmings with the ridiculous amount of money he earns.


But times must be hard for the Manchester United striker who instead of splashing out on a new motor, had his old one recovered in a new colour instead.

The England star was snapped arriving for training today in what looked like a brand new white Range Rover.

But on closer inspection, it was in fact his old £150,000 ride which had been given a gleaming new makeover, courtesy of the latest celebrity craze - vinyl wrapping.


Looks ok to us! Coleen pictured with the old colour of the Range Rover before it got its vinyl bling


Wayne, 24, bought the car in silver in 2009 and had it souped-up by Overfinch, a company that specialises in enhancing Range Rovers and customising bodywork and mechanicals.

Clearly deciding he was bored with the colour, he took it back to the company and had them perform a vinyl wrap on the car, which, according to the experts, is better than respraying.

Rooney follows in the footsteps of Formula One star Jenson Button, footballer David Beckham and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who have all had their cars covered in vinyl.


Buffed and ready: David Beckham has his Porsche vinyl wrapped in matt black


But Blackburn Rovers forward El Hadji Diouf went one step further and had his Mercedes McLaren SLR vinyl wrapped in mirrored chrome, along with a red interior and black wheels.

Mainly a craze that is popular among the Hollywood gentry, Vehicle graphic specialists, Creative FX have brought the fad to the UK.

And director Chris Pook said he has been asked to wrap everything from family hatchbacks to vans and explained why it was much better for the vehicle.


Chef's delight: Gordon Ramsay followed in his friend Beckham's footsteps and had his Range Rover vinyl wrapped in matt black


He said: 'People are choosing vinyl wraps over other more permanent alternatives, as they allow you to have fun with your vehicle, without any long-lasting effects.

'A re-spray is forever and can reduce the value of a car, whereas a wrap is quick and easy to remove, so you can return your vehicle to its original colour whenever you want.'
