It's not unusual

Tom Jones offers his services as an X Factor judge, says he's worried about the kids

That's right, Tom Jones is the most recent celebrity to offer his services to the show, apparently hoping that his gentler touch will contrast nicely with some of the other judges general nastiness/batshit insanity. (Via The Daily Star)

"I would like to be a judge on The X Factor for sure: These talent shows are a good thing, but only as long as the kids are treated properly. They go straight in at the deep end and are not ready for it. That's my only fear."

"On X Factor everyone had a conflict about what they were singing"

Matt Cardle talks Harry Styles sex, X Factor rows and his fight for credibility

HM: Hello Matt Cardle. Holy Moly has given you quite a bit of flak over the last year (mostly about cardigans), does that stuff bother you?

MC: “If one of my mates finds something horrible about me then they’ll forward it to me. But I don’t give a shit, is the answer. That’s what sites like yours are there for and people go in it to read shit about people – it’s funny! I enjoy those websites.”

HM: Did anyone warn you that, having won The X Factor, people would be looking for the first opportunity to knock you down?

X Factor 2011: The Nu Vibe interview they didn’t want you to see

Anyway, we’ve cut out the main offending bit and left the rest for your post-series enjoyment. It’s still not a pretty sight. There’s a lot of swearing. Alcohol is not their friend.

But Sophie Habibis looked lovely and that's the important thing

Police question Frankie & Jonjo after X Factor wrap party ruck

Had we been there though, we most certainly would've made a drunken nuisance out of ourselves over Sophie Habibis who, despite wearing a dress that makes it look like she's being swallowed by a massive goldfish, managed to look utterly lovely. Ah.

Judging by the pics, winners Little Mix either weren't there or came and went too quickly for photographers to notice. But as they revealed to us in our video interview, they're teetotal so it wouldn't have been much fun. And hey, Tulisa, they're our little muffins now. (Not in that way).

X Factor 2011: We meet winners Little Mix and try and get a word in edgeways

The girls had only had two hours sleep and had been on promo duties all day. However, they had been on a constant diet of E-numbers, sugar and energy drinks and so… well, imagine if four springs could talk. We never got round to asking them any proper questions about The X Factor or their plans for the future. So this is mostly just them doing some silly accents, giggling a lot and trying to blag free clothes and Nandos. It’s our favourite interview of the series.

And don’t forget, Little Mix – Cannoball is available to buy now. Click the links.

They didn’t have to buy it, but they did

Olly Murs gets his third number one and we try and look on the bright side

For years now, the music industry - as one gigantic grumbling entity - has been audibly nursing the pain of illegal downloading. The implication was that no one, literally no one, was paying for music anymore. And so everything was fucked and it was all our fault.

But people are paying for Olly Murs’ singles. And they needn’t.

People are buying Olly Murs’ records despite them being ridiculously awful and the man being about as convincing a popstar as a ventriloquist’s dummy would be at fooling your parents into thinking you’ve finally got a boyfriend this Christmas.

It's a fix?

X Factor 2011: Little Mix win, Gary wants Louis out, show still not 'fixed'

According to one report, Little Mix's win has left them with a street value of around £8 million. Surprisingly this number wasn't put on their heads by the music industry, but by a hugely overexcited orgy of UK marketing execs, all of whom are currently frothing at the wallet just thinking about the possibilities a group of Northern female teenager singers will open up in the frozen prawn ring, shiny trainer and personalised tampon markets. And CDs of course. They'll also sell lots of those.

Amelia Lily's winners single on sale in HMV, X Factor accused of skulduggery, again

But where were the singles for the other two finalists? Where were Little Mix and Marcus' singles? No one knows. What the angry mob do know however, is that they want answers and they want them now. (Via The Sun)

“I was just browsing the upcoming releases and spotted it. I assumed it was something that would allow you to buy the single of whoever went on to win.

“But the only option was to buy Amelia Lily’s song. There was no option for Marcus or Little Mix. I had to wonder if the store somehow know the result.”
