Louis Walsh: ‘I find Maloney bland and boring!’

Louis Walsh: ‘I find Maloney bland and boring!’

We unashamedly love, love, love, love, love Louis Walsh. Those off-the-cuff comments, the bitchy quips, THAT polo-neck jumper, (which coincidently, we really like. It reminds us of the Milk Tray man and anything that makes us think of choccies is clearly a good thing).

This weekend, The X Factor stalwart was on winning form - from calling Tulisa a WAG to chastising Gary over Rylan, our favourite wind-up merchant was firing on all cylinders.

Earlier, we caught up with lovely Louis to get the showbiz shizzle on Tulisa’s love-life, Union J’s nerves and why he’s still - ahem - cheesed off with Chris.

What did you make of Rylan poking fun at Gary on Saturday’s show?
I loved it! It was the BEST comeback ever, the best thing about Rylan is that nothing shocks him. Gary has met his match in Rylan.

Gary was left speechless…
Yup, he got OWNED! That Essex boy is the king of one-liners and is brilliant fun. Who else would dare to poke fun at Gary over his weight? It was a stroke of genius!

Was Gary a good sport about it afterwards?
Gary secretly loved it. You have to embrace the madness of this show. Gary loves a good old banter and on Saturday night, the gloves were well and truly off!

What did you make of Rylan’s performance?
It wasn’t my favourite. I felt slightly underwhelmed. Off the back of his other outrageously brilliant performances so far this series, I was expecting more. I still love him but I’m worried that Rylan may have peaked already.

Have you met this psychic of his?
Not yet. I’d be interested to see what his psychic has to say seeing as he didn’t leave this week as she’d predicted. Time for a refund, perhaps?

You still don’t seem overly-enamoured with Chris…
Maloney is bland and boring. For some unfathomable reason, the public still like him. He really suits his new nickname; shake and fake.

Nicole said she was freaked out by that giant portrait of him…
I actually liked that weird collage that was behind him during his performance. The lights for eyes were pretty intense, though. It was creepy, cool and made me laugh. Chris can really sing though, I’ll give him that.

Are Union J OK?
My boys are nervous. Being in the bottom two the other week knocked their confidence for six. They’ve worked really hard throughout the competition. I’d love to see Union J do really well beyond the show – they deserve to be successful.

Is Tulisa cross with you for calling her a wag?
Ha! She hasn’t got a leg to stand on. She is a wag! She’s dating a footballer. He’s a really nice guy, good for her. Tulisa and I really gel, we chat about everything together. I’m very fond of her.

Nicole: ‘I’d love to paint the town orange with Rylan!’

Nicole: ‘I’d love to paint the town orange with Rylan!’

One of our favourite things about this series of The X Factor has been Nicole’s heee-lair-ious ‘Scherzims.’

Thus far, we’ve been treated to sha-mazing, sha-maze balls and gorge-oire. We’re also loving the way she draws out her words really sexily and s-l-o-w-l-y, pronouncing each and every syllable, like ‘LIV-ING!’

In addition to being quite the linguist, our foxy and feisty Judge sure knows how to hold a tune and rock a frock. When she’s not being generally fabulous, Nicole can also be found mentoring and fussing over her three Boys like a mother hen.

In the flesh, sans make-up, she’s insanely gorgeous and refreshingly down-to-earth. We caught up with the Pussycat Doll to talk about nights out with her Boys, being a Bond Girl and why she wanted to keep hold of that ASDA uniform. Say whaaat?

Rylan sooo owned Gary on Saturday’s show…

Oh my gosh! Rylan went in for the kill and all Gary could do was put his hands up and admit defeat. That’s what happens when you’re mean to Rylan week after week.

Where would you take your Boys for a night out on the razz?

My boys are all so different. I’d love to go and see Beverly Knight perform with Jahmene. Rylan would be up for anything. He’s a party animal. I’d paint the town red - oops, make that orange - with him. I think we’d party ‘til sunrise together. We’d tear up GAY!

What about James?

I’d love for James to take me to one of his favourite pubs. We could play some acoustic music together and jam out over a few pints and some pork scratchings.

You were a little spooked by Christopher’s performance on Saturday…

The laser eyes that came out of his massive face during his performance were creepy. I didn’t find Chris creepy but that collage was scary. He’s a good singer, though. I wasn’t knocking him, just that screen behind him.

We reckon you’d make an ace Bond Girl…

I’d love to be a kick-ass bond girl. I’d be very stealth-like with ninja skills. My name would be Nikita or something exotic like Proscovia.

‘Fess up! Did you REALLY enjoy working at ASDA for the day?

I love ASDA! Taking over their telecom was definitely a highlight for me. I really enjoyed cheekily slashing the prices over the tannoy. Thanks to that, I think lots of people saved money that day. Plus, who can escape that electrifying outfit? I’m a sucker for emerald green. I liked dressing up in it!

How do you unwind post-show?

I love to treat myself to some red velvet cake or listen to Prince. I’d love for there to be a Prince week. It’d be great to see one of my Boys sing ‘Darling Nikki.’

We’re still in a state of shunned shock. The phenomenally talented Ella has left the show and we’re at a loss over what to do besides sob uncontrollably. With this in mind, we’ve put together a montage of the stunning singer’s top moments on The X Factor. From that awesome audition to those unforgettable live performances, this little lady was born a star.

Chris Maloney: ‘My Scouse spirit has seen me through!’

Chris Maloney: ‘My Scouse spirit has seen me through!’

He’s the king of 80s power ballads and a connoisseur of cheese. Who the bejeezus are we babbling on about? Why, Chris Maloney, (obvs!).

The lovely Liverpudlian hasn’t had the easiest of rides these past few weeks. There have been accusations of divadom and reports that he’s been squabbling behind-the-scenes with his fellow-Finalists.

Earlier, we cornered the crooner to get the skinny on why he thinks the Judges are possibly being tactical towards him and what he really makes of Rylan.

How are you feeling?
I’m philosophical about it all. What will be, will be. At the end of the day, I’ve tried my best. I’m delighted to still be in the competition and I’m working my socks off. I’m very grateful to everyone that keeps voting. I wish I could thank each and every one of them individually.

The Judges gave you some positive feedback on Saturday…
It was weird. Though, I do wonder if they are being tactical. Maybe the Judges thought: ‘Ah, if we keep on being mean to Chris, maybe people will keep on feeling sorry for him and voting him in.’

Whose comments surprised you the most?
Tulisa’s comments meant a lot. She acknowledged that I’m good at my genre of music. Admittedly, she wouldn’t buy an album of mine. I’m just pleased that she recognised that I can actually sing.

How did you feel about Gary telling James Arthur that he’d love for him to win?
Gary said that if I wasn’t in the Final, he’d want James to win. He didn’t say that he didn’t want me to win. Gary’s very supportive and has been there for me every step of the way.

How did you feel about Rylan and Gary’s little spat?
Rylan’s always full of funny one-liners! I didn’t feel the need to step in or have a word in Rylan’s ear. Gary can handle himself. If anything, it’s the other way round. I need Gary to fight my battles!

C’mon. Are you REALLY a diva?
My Scouse spirit has seen me through. It’s like water of a duck’s back. I’m no diva! I wouldn’t run around after my Nan if I was precious or had ideas above my station.

Any celebs out there you’re dying to meet?
I would love to duet with Bette Midler if I made it to the Final. I would quite literally combust with happiness if that happened!

If you had to liken the Judges to specific cheeses, who would be what?
Gary would be a cheese slice – everybody loves them. Louis would be a mouldy, stale cheese. Nicole would be a lovely brie cheese.  And Tulisa would be a blue cheese because you either love it or hate it.

Janis Joplin meets Vanessa Paradis

Frank’s team worked on Melanie’s natural bohemian look with mother earth tones, flares from MiH Jeans and accessories from East. For the hair, Jamie exaggerated her natural texture by using a small barrel tong, brushing the hair with a bristle brush and re-tonging the hair for more structured curls. The Make Up team gave Melanie a more sixties rock ‘n’ roll look with Rimmel gel eyeliner and black dramatic Nouveau Lashes.
