X Factor: Katie Waissel Can Be Killed By Conventional Weapons
KATIE Waissel is the subject of death threats on the internet. The X Factor star has been attacked in electronic media. For shame!
But here come the “COPS” to help Our Katie remain alive and not be killed by someone sat in their bedroom repeatedly hitting the backslash key.
The Sun, which has dedicated more front pages to hating Katei Waissel than it did to Saddam Hussein, says the police are “probing” the death threats.
What says the law?
X Factor lawyers were yesterday investigating The Sun’s revelation that Katie is singing on a US album released last week.

X Factor 2010 Photos: Aiden Grimshaw Throttles A Bottle
THE X Factor: We looked on as Aiden Grimshaw clutched a bottle of larger and pulled a funny face. Aiden lost out to orchestrated hate figure Katie Waissel. Grimshaw, the unsmiling teenager with the looks of a long-sighted Jennifer Capriati staring at the car in front’s nodding dog, has left the show.
He is now free to pursue other interests, like saying how great the X Factor is, singing on the X Factor tour and an X Factor charity single, and getting older. It was better news for Paige Richardson.
Paige looks like a “little Lenny Henry” to Louis Walsh. Walsh’s gift to music are Westlife, who appeared on the show to sing down a phone to a pubescent teen cradling a terminally ill puppy.
Enjoy the photos:

X Factor: International Star Katie Waissel Releases Record In US
X FACTOR news now as Katie Waissel puts pen to paper in a “SECRET US Deal” that Simon Cowell knows nothing about. What?! Katie is an international talent preparing for life after she’s been used up and spat out the X Factor machine and recovered from the stress of having stories made up about her?
Anorak pictures Simon Cowell as a yellow-eyed lizard sat atop a pile of steaming effluent, a Jacuzzi of regurgitated bilge labelled “pop factory”.
His agents stand up seducing wide-eyed wannabes into the blender with a wobbling-headed ambulatory Archie Andrews shouting over a baying mob, “KATIE. KATIE. KATIE… That was are incredible. KATIE. KATIE. That was amazing…”
Some news, then, that a budding talent managed to sign a recording contract without Cowell’s knowing. Well, not really. She was signed to Chamberlain records, as we told you. And she’s sings on an album by a David Reed, joining him in a duet called Moving Mountains. Katie appears under her stage name Lola Fontaine.
Read: How The X Factor And Sony BMG Fixed It For Katie Waissel, aka Katie Vogel.
Says David:
Moving Mountains is one that defines me– as a songwriter and as a person. I had the life-changing event of meeting the lovely Katie Waissel and she was kind enough to lend her voice to the song. I’m looking forward to you hearing it. In the meantime, here are the lyrics:
Ahem:
But if mountains weren’t meant to move
Then I was meant to stay here with you
Then I was meant to stay here with you
Well I thought I had a good view from my window as a kid
That those mountains protected well I guess they never did

X Factor’s Matt Cardle: Lauren Cutmore Sticks The Knife Into Tabloid Lies
DID you know that Matt Cardle is a “CHEATING SEX ADDICT”? No, neither did we. But the NoTW says she is. It’s on the front page. And there is a fact:
“Romps 7 times a day says ex”
(Look out for an in-depth article on how 7 is the new 5.)
But before the NoTW can tells us about Cardle’s ex-lover Lauren Cutmore’s upset, the Mirror (which is free online, unlike the NoTW) has news – also “EXCLUSIVE”:
Matt Cardle’s furious ex-girlfriend has branded the X Factor heart-throb a serial womaniser. Lauren Cutmore, 24, claimed he regularly cheated on her during their 18-month relationship.

How The X Factor And Sony BMG Fixed It For Katie Waissel, aka Katie Vogel
THE X FACTOR is returned to our TV screens and thus to the newspapers’ front page. And there is a story linking Katie Waissel to Simon Cowell and Sony BMG. You see, Katie is no enthusiastic amateur fluffing her lines and begging for one more chance to live her “dream”.
Had she just got her song right first time over, Katie would have been less memorable. But she ‘fluffled’ it, and having begged for another chance, Cowell gave her “20 seconds”. That make-or-break time limit was extended when Katie started singing.
As such, Katie ended up on stage and on camera longer than most. Why? Is it because she is in with the management at Sony BMG, where Simon Cowell also works?
The 24-year-old from from Harewood, Hertfordshire, who looks like Kelly Osbourne channelling Vanessa Feltz, is also known as Lola Fontaine, singer of a jazz album and owner of a record deal in the US. But that’s not all.
You might know her as of Katie Vogel, star of a reality TV show, sponsored by Coca Cola and watchable online. Here’s the trailer:
Green Eyed World follows the life adventure of Katie Vogel, a talented girl with a green guitar, killer tunes and big dreams. Each week, the new episode is your backstage pass into the music business as Katie travels through different cities and countries in search of fun, freedom, fans and friends.
But that is not all.
Katie has a sympathetic backs story. When she was 10 her grandpa died. And she was bullied:
Back to my teenage years, i was bullied terribly at the same time as my family were going through a major crisis (Very long story for a rainy day!)
She’s also on nodding terms with Chaz Jankel, of Ian Duty and Blockheads repute. And she opened the bill at East 17’s comeback show at The Shepherds Bush Empire.
Oh, and at a party in LA she met “DAVID MASSEY VP OF SONY BMG!”. Yeah, that’s the same Sony that Simon Cowell works for.
I went to Dave Massey’s office a couple days later and spent the entire day there! We went through all my music, we jammed on the guitar, he introduced me to his team! And at the end of the day, he told me he wanted me to come back out and perform at a venue in NYC for him and Sony.

X Factor Photos: Matt Cardle Trains With Tottenham Hotspurs
X FACTOR favourite Matt Cardle went to train with Tottenham Hotspurs at their raining ground in Chigwell, Essex, as part of ITV’s Xtra Factor. Peter Crouch gave him his kit. He might have given his the jockstrap, too. Minty fresh (allegedly)… Yum!

X Factor: Remember these?
Sponsored post from Get Me In
Christmas is fast approaching and that can only mean one thing; X Factor 2010 will soon be leaving our screens! In just a matter of weeks, a winner will be crowned and we’ll lose our Saturday night fix of Cheryl’s latest dresses, Dannii’s latest dos and Simon’s latest lines.
ANDY ABRAHAM (Came second in 2005)
Nice guy Andy had a busy time after X factor, undertaking 2 tours in 2006, and a third in 2008/2009. After releasing 3 fairly successful albums, he was chosen by the public to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with his track “Even If”. Sadly he came last and has since been trying to salvage his reputation by signing with a new management company, appearing on ‘Live From Studio Five’, raising money for The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust and presenting an award at the 2010 Urban Music Awards. Interestingly, he is joining forces with soul legends Alexander O’Neal, Kenny Thomas and Eddie Holman to perform in 15 UK performances during November and December 2010.
SAME DIFFERENCE (Came third in 2007)
Cringe-worthy sibling duo Sean and Sarah have been regulars on the holiday camp scene entertaining youngsters at Pontins, as well as performing cheesy pop at Pride events including London, Manchester and Cardiff. In August they released single ‘Shine On Forever (Photo Frame)’ which will feature on their second (yes, second!) album to be released in January 2011. One for your diaries, perhaps?
RHYDIAN ROBERTS (Came second in 2007)
Strange but successful Welsh singer Rhydian’s debut album sold 500,000 copies and last year he performed a sell-out UK tour. As well completing a second album, he performed ‘O Fortuna’ at this year’s classical BRIT awards. Rhydian is next set to star in his first musical ‘War of The Worlds – Alive on Stage!’. He will perform in a total of 19 international shows alongside Jason Donovan and Atomic Kitten’s Liz McClarnon, kicking off in Amsterdam in November.
BAD LASHES (Came twelfth in 2008)
This girlband foursome joined just a week before they auditioned on X Factor and sadly were booted off after their first live performance. They are, amazingly, still together with things set to get ‘even crazier’ for them according to their site. Such craziness has so far included switching on Durham’s Christmas lights, supporting Sean Kingston, a St Tropez promotional tour and a few Butlins gigs at Minehead. So far 2010 has been a quiet year for them though with just three bookings: a charity performance and two private parties. Weirdly there have been no updates on their website, blog or Facebook since March when they stated that they were moving to London.
RUTH LORENZO (Came fifth in 2008)
Sexy senorita Ruth was a firm favorite of Simon Cowell’s (for obvious reasons) but surprisingly only made it to fifth place. Ruth has since left music company EMI due to ‘creative differences’ and has spent the past 2 years independently developing her album, citing to fans that she wants to ‘make an album that they deserve, not another expendable pop record that remains forgotten in time’. On her crusade, she is asking fans to donate money for the video and marketing budget of her debut single. So far she has raised $4,470 which equates to around £2408. Going by that sum, expect to be waiting around another 8 years for her album!
If the thought of losing your regular fix of your X Factor favourite is too much to cope with, make sure you secure some X Factor Live tickets. The tour, which starts in February next year, will see the likes of Cher Lloyd, One Direction and Matt Cardle visit 21 venues across the UK, to entertain the masses. Concert tickets are on-sale now at GetMeIn.com.

X Factor: Pervy Wagner Carrilho Meets An Old Goa
X FACTOR: It is Wagner Carrilho’s made-for-tabloid narrative to be a pervert. And Melba Green is here to further the story.
The tabloids have already told us that Wagner saw Mary Byrne naked and kept touching dancers.
No claims of perving have been proven, But because the X Factor creates a soap character for each of its extras, it has been decided that middle-aged Wagner is a letch- that’s him surrounded by nubile, young female dancers pretending to flashing their naked chests at him.
So, to today’s instalment, and we learn on the Sun’s front page :
PERVY WAGNER GROPED GRANNY
Wagner is the “X PEST”.

X Factor: Cheryl Cole And Dermot O’Leary Fixed It For Phone Vote Loser Katie Waissel
WANT to know why Cheryl Cole really failed to judge in her role as a judge on the X Factor? The Mail will tell you why she failed to choose between Katie Waissel(friend to BMG and Dermot O’Leary’s producer) and TreyC Cohen?
Dermot O’Leary says it was all planned. Yep, the TV show is scripted to produce drama, comedy, winners, losers and a soap opera-style narrative. It’s not a music talent show after all; it’s a manipulative form of TV theatre wherein the budget is lavished on the judges and the so-called stars are mere extras to be ritually abused and spat out as the script demands.
Read: How The X Factor And Sony BMG Fixed It For Katie Waissel, aka Katie Vogel.
Says O’Leary:
“We decided if wasn’t going to vote, we would go to the majority verdict.”

X Factor: Video Proof That Paige Richardson Is A Little Lenny Henry
X FACTOR: Louis Walsh, aka ‘big Archie Andrews, says Paije Richardson is “a little Lenny Henry”.
Lenny Henry – the TV comedienne and showbiz luvvie? Why is Paije like him? Is it because he’s on a TV talent show (Henry was discovered on New Faces)? But Henry didn’t sing. Walsh says that Richardson’s singing reminds him of a Little Lenny Henry, and who the hell wants to listen to that?
Well, Louis Walsh, obviously.

X Factor Fix: Proof That TreyC Cohen Was Robbed
THE country faced a new democratic crisis last night after it emerged that the X Factor is a scripted TV show that has no bearing on reality whatsoever.
The Sun declares on its front page that “IT’S A FIX”.
What?! The paper that pumps out PR-led drivel about 20th Century Fox films, Sky TV and average music being amay-zing under the auspices of Gordon Smart’s “Bizarre” column has realised that the media can corrupt and distort the viewing experience?!
Who to thank for the revelation? Why, no lesser person than TreyC Cohen’s dad. The man who spells ‘Tracey’ TreyC has seen through the lies, the manipulation and the cynical pursuit of cash.
The Daily Star, a bastion of honesty pauses from playing that Raoul Moat shoot ‘em up and buying tickets for the Chile mine theme park ride to yell:

X Factor: Cheryl Cole Sets Up Katie Waissel For Epic Fall And TV Gold
CHERLY Cole is the X Factor judge who refuses to judge, saving Katie Waissel for another week’s cull. To avert a crisis at the heart of the British judicial system and democracy (and this the mother of parliaments), Cheryl narrows her eyes, pouts her lips, tilts her head and adopts a facial expression the Dali Lama is keen to secure the image rights for, under license – news is that Cheryl has patented it as the Cheryl Careyl.
As for the facts? Well, TreyC Cohen and Katie Waissel are the bottom two acts in terms of public votes secured, and when it come to her vote Caryl says:
“They’re both talented young women and I’m not sending either of them home Dermot. I’m refusing point blank, ask these two [Danni and Louis] and I’ll take it to deadlock.”
Simon Cowell, who often laments the public not voting for talent, and that ambulatory Archie Andrews named Louis Walsh agree that TreyC is the better singer so she has to go. Dannii wants to chuck Katie onto the EU Celebrity Mountain. So, Cheryl will now pick Katie and thus allow the public to decide: least votes secured is out.
Read: How The X Factor And Sony BMG Fixed It For Katie Waissel, aka Katie Vogel.
But then laughably earnest presenter Dermot O’Leary says three votes is enough and TreyC is gone. Katie is saved. Everyone is talking about the TV show being presented as a music contest. Then former Blue Peter Konnie Huq says on the X Factor TV show and makes up something from sticky-backed plastic and crap:
“The reason that the vote didn’t go to deadlock tonight was because Cheryl abstained and then as such, it went to the majority vote as the judges explained.”
It was also the first Saturday in the Month, as such, it looks like rain and it’s approaching Poppy Day. Rules are rules.
And the final rule is that the X Factor is a TV programme, with scripts and editing. It is not real. It is a piece of theatre. Wagner is rubbish but he gets through because he is more entertaining than another cruise ship warbler. Katie gets through because she is so desperate to succeed her failure will be TV gold.
Rather then save Katie, Cheryl has set her up for a monumental fall. Cheers, Cheryl. thank for the good telly…
