It was widely reported yesterday that Jedward have been dropped by their record label Sony after poor sales of their first single, Under Pressure.

If this news bought a smile to your wicked face and you thought it would be the last you’d hear from the terrible twins then you wont like what we’re about to tell you.

We’ve just heard reports that Jedward have already been snapped up by rival label Universal – Hurrah!

Meanwhile, the X Factor tour rumbled on in Dublin last night and you’ll never guess who got the biggest cheer of the night? Oh, we don’t even need to answer that question do we?!

John and Edward Grimes were their usual bubbly, energetic, hyperactive selves as they continued on the X Factor tour in Dublin earlier today – despite the fact that they’ve just been dropped by their record label Sony.

The music giants decided cut ties with the boys after their first single failed to get to get to the top of the charts. After the move was announced, hundreds of the boys’ angry fans took to Twitter to say such things as: “Sony must be complete idiots” and “World domination for Jedward is only a leap away.”

Well, that may be so – but in the meantime John and Edward don’t seem too fazed by Sony’s decision do they? In fact when we bumped into them earlier they seemed more concerned with showing everyone their new trainers. Same old, same old then…

We thought they’d been doing well since the X Factor but it turns out we were wrong, because its just been reported that John and Edward have been dropped by their record label Sony after their first single failed to top the charts.

Last night Louis Walsh confirmed:

“I’m completely committed to Jedward and I know they still have a great career ahead. The boys have a sell-out tour in Ireland straight after The X Factor Tour in April and I’m in talks with a major record label about a new deal for them.”

A new deal? Stop flogging a dead horse Louis, we’re big fans of the boys but they’re a novelty act, people will pay to watch them perform but they’ll never buy their records, end of.


Another day, another set of pictures of the X Factor contestants out and about in Newcastle…

John and Edward were in a particularly hyperactive mood (no change there then!) when we spotted them leaving their hotel this morning, while all the others looked pretty goddamn knackered.

That is all, as you were.

Following Sunday nights show in Glasgow all of the X Factor contestants were given a couple of days off before tonight’s gig in Newcastle.

Yesterday we caught up with Olly and Stacey doing some shopping in the city centre before they met up with Lucie Jones, Lloyd Daniels, Jedward, Danyl Johnson and Joe McElderry and the whole group made a surprise visit to Yorkhill Hospital for sick children.

After the gang had left Shona Cardle, Chief Executive of Yorkhill Children’s Foundation said:

“We are very grateful to the X Factor finalists for coming to the hospital.

“They created such a buzz of excitement and the children were over the moon to meet some of their idols.”

Aw, it warms ya cockles doesn’t it?!

Different? Exhausted? Bloated? All of the above?!

Yesterday, we caught up with Jedward, Lloyd Daniels, Danyl Johnson, Stacey Solomon, Lucie Jones, Jamie Afro and of course Olly Murs, as they arrived at the Brighton Centre yesterday for the first of two live X Factor shows.

And it’s no wonder they all look knackered, the group arrived in Brighton on Saturday after performing in Cardiff every single day since Tuesday and as soon as they arrived down south they put on a show at 2.30pm and another at 7.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

And if they were hoping to have a little rest after an intense weekend of working then they’re out of luck because there’s another show in Nottingham tonight.

God, just thinking about it makes us want to go and have a little lie down!

Given the fact that Dannii Minogue is now preggers, we kind of expected that the Australian singer probably wouldn’t be able to star in the next series of the X Factor.

So last night, at the Elle Style Awards, when Dannii was asked about whether or not she intends to return to the show, we weren’t surprised when she replied:

"If they're auditioning in the hospital in Australia, yes, but otherwise no!"

"I will totally miss Cheryl and Louis and Simon, and not being there for the auditions, but I really need to be near my family in Australia at such an important time."

She added:

"I don't know what is happening. I just adore it and I had such a fun time last year. I'd love to be part of it somehow even if I just pop back and visit."

Worried that her comments may have given the impression that she’s completely quit the show, Dannii’s spokesperson clarified today:

“Dannii has absolutely not quit The X Factor. Although she is having her baby at home in Australia, she would very much like to still be a part of the show in some capacity when it returns later this year."

In what “capacity” is that we wonder? We’ll just have to wait and see…


The X Factor tour arrived in Birmingham today and look who we just spotted taking in the sights of the city - it’s only Lucie ‘bleedin’ Jones!

The Welsh lass was popping to the shops to pick up a copy of Jedward’s new single, which she’ll no doubt ask the boys to sign for her little later.
