Let Me Entertain You! Robbie copies Sinitta as he helps Gary choose his final contestants in LA

By KIRSTY MCCORMACK

Entertainer: Robbie Williams shocked Gary Barlow and his hopefuls by wearing a palm leave costume similar to Sinitta's back in 2009

He's no stranger to showing off his body, but Robbie Williams took things to the next level when he joined X Factor judge, Gary Barlow in LA this month.

Wearing nothing but a nude pair of boxers, pulled up socks and a total of six palm leaves, the Take That star shocked Gary and his male contestants as he made his entrance and struck a pose.

Making a reference to eighties star Sinitta's appearance on the show in 2009, when she helped ex-partner, Simon Cowell whittle down his hopefuls, Robbie looked baffled as Gary held his face in his hands.


Ashamed: Gary Barlow covered his face whilst laughing at Robbie's interesting outfit

'I saw Sinitta in it and thought, that’s what I want to do! What do you reckon lads?!' he said.

The eight pop star wannabes looked delighted to meet the Take That star - even if he was showing a bit too much flesh - with Marcus Collins replying: 'For a minute I genuinely thought it was Sinnita!'

The judge earlier told his group of guys that he was excited to be there with them.
'I'm so excited about the songs and the performances, but I think what you're all excited about right now is who’s here with me!


Stunned: The hopefuls not only got to meet Robbie but they got to see him wearing palm leaves too


'Belter': Marcus gave it his all as he sang We Got Family by Paloma Faith

'This person is a very close friend of mine, this person lives in LA and this person's opinion I trust about 85%, they need no introduction, so I am not going to give them one, please welcome my guest everybody!'

Marcus was the first to sing choosing Paloma Faith's We Got Family which left Gary saying to Robbie in private: 'He’s such a belter; you know he really goes for it.

'It’s whether he will be able to do it week after week night after night. It’s whether he belts it out and doesn’t speak for two days,' he added.


Battling it out: Young hopefuls Luke and Craig sang to Gary and Robbie in Los Angeles hoping to make it to the live shows


Feeling the heat: John and Max were just two of the guys who sang to their mentor hoping to impress him




Firm friends: Kelly Rowland invited singer, Jennifer Hudson, to Miami to help her choose her finalists


Miami girls: Melanie and Misha wore contrasting colours to perform at Kelly's house in the U.S.


Nervous: Holly (left) appeared to be really concentrating as she performed her audition in front of the two superstar singers whereas Amelia Lili seemed more confident


Singing her heart out: Sophie sang as good as she could for her mentor and her friend


Talking things over: It was tough for Kelly and Jennifer to choose just three hopefuls to take to the live shows


Welcome: Tulisa greets her groups in Mykanos, Greece and introduces them to her guest Jessie J


Hitting the right note: Boyband Chasing Keys sang to Tulisa and Jessie J in the hope that they might go through to the live finals


Competition: second boyband The Risk had a fantastic view of Mykanos as they performed


Only young: the four girls known as Rhythmix were dressed rather funky as they performed in Greece


Very Grecian: Estrelle looked and sounded great for their performance abroad


Then there were three: The Lovettes gave it their all when performing to Tulisa and singer Jessie J


Just a duo: Boy v Girl were the smallest group in the auditions at Tulisa's home


Singing for Essex: Two Shoes wore matching gold maxi dresses to perform in front of the singers

Nearer to home N-DUBZ singer Tulisa Contostavlos had invited her groups to Mykonos in Greece and brought singer Jessie J along to help her make her big decisions.

'All I care about is having the winner in my category and I believe it’s there,' Tulisa said confidently.

First up to sing were boyband The Keys.

Jessie J took the opportunity to ask the guys if they had topped up their suncream but they answered: 'Yeah, it’s a bit late for that, we already look like beetroot!'


Tough decision: Tulisa and Jessie J converse in between performances whilst making important notes


Ruthless: guest Jessie J helped Tulisa choose her three groups for the live finals


Mature singers: Samantha and Kitty were up against one another to perform in front of Louis Walsh in Torrellea, Spain


Taking the plunge: Kitty decided to jump into a nearby pool during her performance


Which man will win? Jonjo (left) and Joseph proved to Louis why he had brought them to Spain by giving amazing performances


Doing Harrow proud: Middle -aged Johnny sang for a place in the live X Factor finals

Where's the boom bang-a-bang? Forgetful Lulu tanks on Strictly as Holly Valance and Anita Dobson emerge as early favourites

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Flop: While Lulu had a lot of fun on the dance floor during the first episode of Strictly Come Dancing, she forgot most of her choreography and received the lowest score of the night

After the first episode of 2011's Strictly Come Dancing, the contestants to beat are Holly Valance and Anita Dobson.

The Australian pop star and former EastEnders actress tied first place on the premiere episode of the season with a score of 28.

Miss Valance was the first to take to the dance floor and despite looking gorgeous in a tiny glittering gold number and bouffant hair, the 28-year-old showed her nerves.


Impressive: Holly Valance was the first to perform and received the tied highest score of the evening, a 28 for her Cha-cha-cha to Who's That Chick


Sizzling: The Australian popstar looked gorgeous in a tiny gold dress and bouffant hair

'I'm struggling with the Cha-cha-cha,' the Kiss Kiss singer, paired with last year's winner Artem Chigvintsev, said. 'Artem doesn't give out compliments willy-nilly.

Artem's been hard enough to please, hopefully I'll impress the judges.'
She needn't have worried. Dancing to Who's That Chick by David Guetta, Valance dazzled the audience and judges with her natural rhythm.

Judge Alesha Dixon gushed over the performance. 'You are a very good dancer, you look sensation and you've got the sexiness down,' she enthused. 'Your technique is already at a very high standard. You're going to be sensational!'


One to beat: Holly showed some nerves after the performance but needn't have worried, winning high praise from the judges

Len Goodman admitted, 'It's not the best first dance I've ever seen... but it was close. It could have been a bit crisper. The rest have got to be bloomin' good to beat that though.'

'You are eye candy,' Bruno Tonioli told Holly, 'but you need more bite. You need to go for it with more strength - go for it because you've got it.'


Judges' favourite: Former soap star Anita Dobson gave Holly a run for her money with an elegant and emotional waltz to Three Times A Lady


High praise: Even Craig was uncharacteristically generous, telling her he 'thought that whole routine was gorgeous'

Craig wasn't too harsh either, telling Valance she needed 'sharper arm placement throughout. A lot to work on but a lot of good actually.'

The judges awarded Holly and Artem a high score of 28, with Alesha's eight the highest individual score of the evening.


Giggles: While many were expecting good things from singing superstar Lulu, hers was deemed the worst performance of the evening


Entertaining: 'It had the energy, but the steps went down the toilet,' Bruno told Lulu and partner Brendan


Stiff: Presenter Lobb performed a romantic waltz but was criticised for not showing enough love to partner Katya, and was told he 'looked like Adrian Chiles on the sofa'


Still impressive: Despite the criticism Lobb walked away with the next highest score of 24


Surprising: Boxer Audley Harrison said he was nervous but did very well with his waltz to Angel, receiving a score of 20


Powerful: 'You are so graceful for someone the size of Everest!' Bruno remarked


Standing still: The judges were unimpressed that Robbie Savage's partner Ola Jordan did most of the dancing while he stood still for much of the routine


Blondies: 'At least their hair matched,' said Len Goodman


'It couldn't have been camper if you tried': Russell Grant received a standing ovation for his performance to Venus by Bananarama


Dazzling: Craig was less complimentary, saying 'That was the birth of something darling, it certainly wasn't Venus'

Tomorrow night the remaining dancers Jason Donovan, Nancy Dell'Ollio, Harry Judd, Chelsee Healy, Alex Jones, Edwina Currie and Rory Bremner will take to the dance floor.

Simon Cowell gets threats from a 14-year-old and plays matchmaker with Paula Abdul during action-packed X Factor

By JADE WATKINS

Are you threatening me? Simon Cowell was left shocked after he was given a stern warning from pint-sized rapper Brain Bradley during the East coast auditions of the X Factor last night

He's surely received threats before throughout his long-spanning career as a notoriously sharp-tongued reality TV judge and producer.

But possibly not from the mouth of a 14-year-old teenager.

Last night Simon Cowell was left shocked after he was given a stern warning from pint-sized rapper Brain Bradley during the East Coast auditions of the U.S. X Factor.


Rap: But as the teenager busted into a rap it was clear to see that his threatening tone was actually part of a performance that sent the audience into a frenzy

The teen became irritated after Simon questioned him on why he deserved to be on the talent show.

'Yo yo Simon, I see you man... What is your problem man?... Are you serious? Yo, I swear on your life... if we were on the streets,' he directed at the 51-year-old Brit.

But as the teenager busted into a rap it was clear to see that his threatening tone was actually part of his performance that sent the audience into a frenzy.


Crowd pleaser: Judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul busted out some moves

As the crowd went wild for the youngster, the judges stared around in disbelief as he rapped about his mother.

'Brian honey, I am scared of you, and I am not going stare at your mother,' joked judge Nicole Scherzinger.

L.A . Reid, who has produced the likes of Kanye West, Usher and Rihanna, told Brian he had been waiting for someone like him to come into his professional life for years.


Suitably pleased: Even after being turned out by the teenager before his rhyme, Simon was also blown away


Cute: With high hopes of becoming the next big thing, Andy Silikovitz, 43, has been single all of his life


Cheer Squad: Accompanied by his mother who stood backstage with Steve Jones, he revealed to the judges that he had never had a date nor been married, but was hoping that the $5 million prize money would help him find love


Hugs: Simon motioned the middle-aged man to come over and share cuddle with Paula, who happily obliged and embraced him


Confident: Touting herself as the next Mariah Carey, who had 'successfully blown away friends and family with her karaoke abilities Clarissa 'Cashmere' Cheatham was confident


Fit: It was almost like Simon knew what was coming when he broke into a fit of laughter, along with Paula, before Clarissa's terrible performance


Blonde beauty: With her stunning looks Cari Fletcher was a shoe in from the start


Duo: With an army of fans in the audience, Teenage duo Ausem said that they believed and felt the passion in their music and performed of Christina Perri's 'Jar of Hearts'


Awkward: One half of the group, poor Emily, got singled out, with both L.A.and Nicole telling Austin that he was the better singer, and discussed the possibility of splitting the pair up


Dreamy: Simon declared 21-year-old car enthusiast Toro Wolashin as a man's dream, after she told him that she wanted to open her own car shop


No good: Both Jor-El Garcia nor Devon Tally couldn't cut it in Miami


Hunk: Handsome Brennan Hunt was the epitome of a country rock star with his big blue eyes, Southern drawl and raspy voice


Star: Jazzlyn Little brought down the house with her rendition of Mary J.Blige's 'I'm Going Down'


Applause: The performance earned her a standing ovation from the judges
