Rihanna turned down US X Factor?

Rihanna turned down a place on the judging panel of The X Factor.

The S&M singer woud have loved to accept the offer of a role on the US version of the show by head panellist Simon Cowell, but cannot appear when it launches later this year because of her hectic touring schedule.

“Yes, it’s something that I would have loved to do, actually. But our schedule doesn’t allow and it’s a demanding schedule to be on that show,” Rihanna said.

“You have to be around months at a time, which is impossible for me.”

Judges on the show have to go from city to city deciding which singers will go through to the next stage of the competition, then act as mentor to a number of acts and judge the live TV show on a weekly basis.

So far only Simon Cowell and music industry executive L.A. Reid have been confirmed for the panel.

Other stars linked to the show have included Cheryl Cole who stars on the UK version of the program Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Simpson and Katy Perry.

Simon has admitted to having sleepless nights over the final line up.

“The truth is that the reason we haven’t announced the panel yet is that nobody can agree,” he said.

“You make a decision, then you get nervous about it, then you wake up in the middle of the night saying, ‘I’ve made a terrible mistake.’ You call everybody the following day to say you’ve changed your mind and then 24 hours later you go through the same process again.”

Meanwhile, preliminary auditions have been held in Los Angeles, Miami and New York.

Shirley MacLaine has strong bond with dogs

Shirley MacLaine’s dog is the “love” of her life.

The 76-year-old actress who was married to businessman Steve Parker until their divorce in 1982 after 28 years of marriage claims she had “never known” such companionship existed until she had her pooch Terry, and the pair cuddle up together in bed every night.

“My dog Terry is the love of my life. I have never known friendship and companionship like it,” she said.

“Perhaps I am bonded so closely to her because we are together every moment of the day and night. We sleep cuddled up together every night, so it’s a good thing I don’t have a man in my life.”

Despite the lack of men in her life now,Terms of Endearment star Shirley who recently revealed she once had sex with three different men in one day hinted she often got very close to her costars on the set of movies.

“I must confess, I’ve always been attracted to my male costars. I found male actors very intriguing,” she said.

“When filming a love scene, if an aggressive actor takes off all his clothes and jumps on top of the leading lady, who may or may not peel off hers in turn, the crew will go right on lighting and moving equipment, the director will wave his hand to keep filming and say ‘OK, this is good for the characters’, the publicist will roll his eyes, the front office will immediately hear about it and start to gossip, and if the two under-clad actors actually do like each other who knows?”

Taylor Lautner talks Twilight tears!

Taylor Lautner has discussed how he feels about Twilight coming to end.

“I think it’s mixed emotions, for sure,” Taylor explains. “Half of me says, ‘This will be a relief. I get some time off, I get to spend some time with family and friends and do other things,’ but the other half says, ‘This is going to be so weird.’

“Nobody will admit it right now, but I guarantee you there will be tears.”

Lautner, 18, recently revealed that the worse thing about being famous is the lack of privacy.

“There’s tons of good things and bad things,” he said of fame. “Obviously, the lack of privacy is bad. It’s not normal to go out and have dozens of cars with photographers waiting outside while you get your coffee. But like I said, there’s many good things too and I’m willing to put up with the inconveniences.

“I might not go shopping or to the movies, but I have my favorite places, like certain restaurants that are not very famous. There are times when I don’t care and I go bowling. It might get a little complicated at times, but I still have fun, even if I go back home thinking I shouldn’t have gone out and I don’t go out for awhile.”

Lautner says his family help him keep his feet on the ground.

“The answer is in the family members and friends that I’ve known for a while,” he said. “This is our job, we live in the business world, but then we go back to normal. We can be famous, but in the end, our lives are as normal as anyone else’s. We stay at home and we don’t live the exciting lives people think. Keeping a balance in our lives is important, and I can’t lose that.”

He told me there would be big lollipop scars if I got a lift. Being single at the time, I wasn’t comfortable with that idea. He told me he could instead put in a small implant that would give me a lift not as much as a real lift would but at least a little bit of a lift. So I did it,” she said.

“They were still saggy only now they were bigger! They were saggy and gigantic. I was so uncomfortable. I don’t think your breasts should be the first thing people notice when you enter a room.

“Now I feel comfortable. If there’s something you’re not comfortable with and you can correct it, great.”
