Nicole Scherzinger Performs New Single “Try With Me” On ‘The X Factor’ UK

Nicole Scherzinger’s X Factor experience came full circle last night, as the singer, who’s currently a judge on the US series, returned to the stage of the original UK version of the program for a performance of her new single “Try With Me” last night. Before her permanent gig of mentoring hopefuls on the show here in America, Nicole first filled in for an ailing Cheryl Cole last year on the British set. Head below to watch her belt out her latest Killer Love offering.


Scherzinger has clearly had an easier go with her debut solo album overseas than here in her home country. Killer Love charted at #8 on the UK album chart when it was released this past spring, and the record has so far produced three Top 10 singles in Britain (“Poison”, “Don’t Hold Your Breath” and “Right There”).

Here in the States, Killer Love’s release has been pushed several times (it’s currently slated for December 6), and the 50 Cent-featuring “Right There” has been the only offering from it to (barely) crack the Top 40 — at #39.

“Try With Me” will feature on the deluxe edition re-release of the LP in the UK.

Florence + The Machine Performs “Shake It Out”, Talks Hangovers

Florence + The Machine’s Ceremonials drops today in the UK, while we here in the States have to wait another day to pick up the LP. (Boo, indeed.) The soft-spoken singer stopped by Irish late night talk show Late Late to promote her new album and perform her single “Shake It Out”, which she says was “a bit inspired by a hangover”. Wait, a hangover or The Hangover? That would definitely bring a whole different meaning to the song. Check out her fiery performance below.

Leighton & Penn Kick Off the 'Gossip Girl' Work Week




Getting back to work for the week, Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley were seen arriving on the set of “Gossip Girl” in New York City today (October 31).

The CW costars, who return with new episodes next Monday, November 7th, both came dressed for the cold weather, with Leighton donning a green and yellow motif, while Penn went for the all-black look.

During a recent interview, Miss Meester discussed her plans and aspirations once she’s done with her “Gossip Girl” gig.

“I don’t know what I’ll do. I think both singing and movies. I’d like to continue writing and performing and making music. I would like to travel. I want to go to school. I want to garden and cook and work on other things that i haven’t been able to do.”

Lady Gaga’s “Marry The Night”: Watch Her First-Ever Live Performance

While in New Delhi, India, for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Lady Gaga got dolled up in typically Gaga-esque garb for her post-race party performance. (She wore gold chains, black boots, fishnets and a PVC skirt.) Mother Monster also treated her fans to something special, musically: the very first live performance of fifth Born This Way single “Marry The Night“. Watch the stripped-down spectacle below.

“I feel like I’ve waited a lifetime to come her tonight, and I’m very grateful,” Gaga told her crowd of Monsters in New Delhi while seated at a piano. “I just wanted to make it so perfect. So as a very special treat, for the first time ever, I’m going to sing ‘Marry The Night’ [live].”

Sarah Jessica Parker Covers Marie Claire UK December 2011






She's a favorite when it comes to cover girls, and Sarah Jessica Parker finds herself front and center on the December 2011 issue of Marie Claire UK.

The "Sex and the City" actress brightens up the magazine's latest installment while posing for a Tesh shot spread and chatting with the publication about topics ranging from her marriage with Matthew Broderick to not wanting to be famous.

Highlight's from SJP's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Marie Claire UK!

On a New York Post report claiming she complained about being called for jury duty:
"I was outraged by the character assassination! I have served so many times. I was asked to speak at Jury Appreciation Day! I expect I should be more calloused by now, but I'm so sensitive about not living up to anybody's worst idea about an actor."

On not wanting to be famous:
"I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way. I am so worried about anybody saying, 'She's cut in line' or 'She took our table' or 'She got out of jury duty'. The comments that are counter to who I am and the way I live are the ones that bother me. It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn't matter to a certain segment of the populace - they're projecting onto you this status and entitlement I don't have."

On not taking anything for granted:
"We didn't have a lot when I was growing up, and it's the best thing that happened to me because I appreciate everything. I have a strong work ethic and don't take anything for granted."

On claims that husband Matthew Broderick resented her spending seven weeks filming in Morocco shortly after they adopted twins:
"No, no no! Matthew is a working actor, and he knows sometimes things require some hardship. It's the same when he goes away for two or three months at a time. We're accustomed to this, and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way for me."

On her passion for acting:
"I love, love, love being an actor. It's still the hardest and scariest thing I do, outside of parenting. But I love the opportunities, and if I can manage my time, and the children are OK and we're OK, it's hard to say no to things that are challenging and enriching."

‘Vampire Diaries’ Star Michael Trevino Shirtless & In His Underwear For Bench Body [PHOTOS]







The Vampire Diaries‘ hybrid werewolf and now vampire, Tyler Lockwood played by Michael is the newest underwear model of Bench Philippines, and we thank him greatly for that.

Philstar.com talked with Michael about him modeling for the brand.

It’s your first time to endorse a Filipino brand. How do you feel about it? “Actually, it’s the first time that I am ever endorsing any product. This whole procedure…you know, including this pictorial…is very new to me but it’s very interesting, it’s an experience that I’m welcoming. It’s really nice, especially the first part which is this photo shoot.”

Haven’t you posed completely naked? “Oh no, I haven’t! This is the closest that I’ve probably been as far as being photographed, so it’s quite an experience. But I’m glad that it’s over and now I can have lunch. I was on a strict diet before this shoot, and now I can eat all the junk food that I want.”

Report: Kim Kardashian Divorcing Kris Humphries

 Looking as if life happily ever after wasn't just wasn't the cards for the couple, Kim Kardashian is reportedly planning to file for divorce later today (October 31).

According to TMZ sources, after just 72 days of wedded togetherness, the E! reality starlet has decided to seek a legal end from husband Kris Humphries, citing the ever-popular "irreconcilable differences" for the demise.

Beefing up her side with lawyer to the stars Laura Wasser, Kardashian will be represented by the same attorney known for repping stars like Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Maria Shriver and Ryan Reynolds.

The news comes amidst heavy speculation the two were heading to splitsville, following a few allegedly unhappy-looking sightings of the duo. Kim and Kris, who tied the knot back on August 20th, do have a prenuptial agreement in place.
