Man-Band Down.....Again!

Gary Barlow has revealed that Robbie Williams has quit Take That yet again.
It was only July 2010 when it was revealed that Robbie Williams had rejoined the newly successful Take That and now, in October 2011, he has left to concentrate on his solo career once more.

Barlow and Williams were seen at the weekend choosing Gary's talent for the X-Factor and were quite clearly getting on, so don't fear fans, there have been no nasty rows and the rest of the band seem to be in tact and are continuing as a 4-piece.

Robbie's split had been planned since before the bands European tour. Gary Barlow has said that when performing on their last date in Munich he found himself on stage wondering if they would ever be a five-piece band again, although he has not ruled out another reunion.

Pranked!

Russell Brand has done it again and fooled us all. Last night his Canada show at Casino Rama had to be cancelled at the very last minute.

His twitter account seemed to be Brand saying that he was not able to enter the country for reasons unknown and if they didn't let him in soon he was going to be late.

Later on he seemed to confirm that he had indeed been refused entry to Canada posting this tweet: "Tonight's Casino Rama show postponed. I'm sorry. I can't enter Canada. We must abolish the borders between our nations and our minds."

This story was picked up swiftly by the media, given there was a history behind it to give the tale some credibilty (Brand had been deported from Japan in May this year for his previous drugs offences.) However, it later emerged that there had been no problems with the border agencies and there had, in fact, been a technically issue with his plane and he had never actually left the ground.

Always the joker Rus!

Blue Peter Annual Scrapped

The age old tradition of getting a Blue Peter Annual in your Christmas stocking will end next year.

The book, which was first published in 1965, will not be produced in 2012 due to a lack of interest from shops and consumers alike. So snap up your 2011 Blue Peter Annual quick - you may never get the chance to get one again!

R.E.M split

R.E.M's lead singer has announced on their official webpage that, after more than 30 years in the music business the band have decided to call it a day.

The much loved 'Everybody Hurts' singers said "the skill about going to a party is knowing when to leave."

Amanda Holden left alone again

This week has left Amanda Holden alone on the Britain's Got Talent judging panel yet again.
Last year she was left not knowing who she would be working alongside when both Simon Cowell and Peirce Morgan quit the show to persue their careers in America.

This year it has been announced that David Hasslehoff has been sacked from the show after ratings fell significantly with him as a judge as he failed to bring the expected 'Sparkle' to the show. The fact he could not understand the accents of most of the contestents also hurt his chances of returning for a second series.

This news comes just days after Micheal McIntyre announced he has decided to quit the show as he is embarking on a 100-day tour around the time the show is ending, and has decided he would rather get in some time with his family (he and his wife have two young boys together) before the tour rather than trying to juggle the 2 major commitments and get in soem family time.
Rumour has it that Cheryl Cole has been offered £5 million to take a seat on the judging panel for the upcoming series - what will Amanda Holden make of no longer being Queen of Talent?

X-factor's all change again!

Rumours have been strife about the X-Factor judging panel yet again. This time it looks like Tulissa is out and Cheryl is back in. The nations beloved Geordie judge will be back for the X-factor live stages according to the rumours and it will mean she is joining her old co-judge Loius Walsh aswell as this years new judges Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland.
