X Factor star Matt Linnen raises eyebrows after flirting with Nicole Scherzinger during rehearsals
WHEN NICOLE SCHERZINGER stated on The X Factor that she wanted a husband, contestant MATT LINNEN must have seen it as a challenge.
My sources say he is smitten with the show judge and has raised eyebrows by flirting with her during rehearsals.

One said: “He thinks she is amazing and he hasn’t been too subtle about showing it.”
Sadly for Matt, the judge’s on/off relationship with tennis ace GRIGOR DIMITROV seems to be on an upward turn at the moment.
A pal of Nicole’s said: “Grigor has been staying with Nicole in London this week.”
Matt will have to stick to scoring with viewers instead.

No Pix please
THE VOICE Kids judge PIXIE LOTT is being sued by picture agencies for copyright infringement - after unknowingly using their photos on her own Instagram site.
The pop singer recently saw the snaps online and reposted them on her account, without realising her actions could land her in hot water.
A source close to Pixie, said last night: “This was a mistake on her part.
"She saw other people using the snaps online and had no idea reposting them would be a problem.

“As soon as she realised an agency had complained, she took them down.
“She is now seeking legal advice, but will not be considering an out of court settlement as she has been assured by her lawyers that she has done nothing wrong.”

They meck a lovely couple

The reality star jetted to Melbourne, Australia for a make -or-break holiday with the soap actor in a bid to save their blossoming relationship.
And judging from their passionate clinch here, I’d say it’s definitely a make, not break.
Ex-Corrie actor Ryan, who met former Towie girl Lucy while appearing on BEAR GRYLLS’ Celebrity Island, seemed just as happy to see her as she was to see him.
And my sources say they are now discussing how to make their relationship work long-term, after he accepted a role in Aussie favourite Neighbours.

One said: “Lucy flew out last Thursday for crisis talks.
“She plans to spend two weeks with Ryan to figure things out and discuss the possibility of having a long-distance romance.”
If Lucy isn’t keen on leaving Oz, maybe she could audition for Home And Away?
Liam: I'm a happy chap
LIAM GALLAGHER isn’t exactly known for public displays of affection but insists that underneath the famously gruff demeanour, there’s a “happy person” fighting to get out.
12
In a rare bright moment this week, the gruff OASIS star admitted: “I’m not running about doing cartwheels, but there is someone excited in there somewhere.
“I know I’m not smiling a lot but there’s a happy person trying to get out.”
Liam, above, was talking to Absolute Radio’s Dave Berry at a secret gig, which is due to air on the station on November 23.
When asked about his most excitable moments, the rocker said: “It’s got to be Man City winning the Premier League.
12
“I’m excited about that. I’m excited about getting back doing my music.
“I’m excited about ANTHONY JOSHUA, I’m a big fan of him. I’m excited about everything, man!”
Given the former Oasis star is about as likely to crack a smile as he is to be spotted giving his brother NOEL a warm cuddle, this interview came as a surprise, maybe he was a little drunk.
Katy and Kim pic Swiftly deleted
TAYLOR SWIFT was the talk of the showbiz world this week as everyone flocked to hear who she slated in new album Reputation.
12
Amid the furore, two of Tay’s enemies clearly felt there was safety in numbers.
KIM KARDASHIAN, who fell out with Taylor after she released footage of a phone call to husband KANYE WEST, hung out with the pop icon’s rival KATY PERRY after taking daughter NORTH to her gig in LA.
And Katy, who earlier performed in a sequinned catsuit, posed for a cute snap backstage with the pair.
Both later posted snaps of their meeting on Twitter. But despite the photos being pretty innocent, they deleted them just hours later.
12
Maybe they felt it wasn’t worth provoking Taylor’s anger further.
Either way, I can imagine what the hot topic of conversation in that dressing room was.

Corrie crew head to Brooke-Makers
FALLING and landing on a sharp blade would be my biggest concern on Dancing On Ice.
But after Corrie actress BROOKE VINCENT signed up for the ITV show, her pals on the soap think she should be far more worried about suffering an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
12
So they have opted to do what any supportive friends might . . . and take bets on it.
My source told me: “Dancing On Ice has been the topic of much discussion on set.
“A few of the crew have even decided to try and make a few quid at Brooke’s expense.
12
“There is currently a fair bit of money riding on how she copes with her Lycra.”
Luckily for Brooke, she isn’t the only person being bet on by the Corrie lot – after her soap co-star ANTONY COTTON also signed up for the skating show.
My source said: “Brooke may be odds- on to have the first wardrobe accident, but the crew think Antony might be the first person to cry on the show.”
There’s nothing like a little confidence boost from your colleagues, is there?
Rita's all reddy for awards
RITA ORA looks reddy for action as she poses at a showcase held ahead of the MTV VMAs.

The Anywhere singer, who is both hosting and performing at the ceremony tonight, opted for a surprisingly covered up look with a long-sleeved turtle-neck and pencil skirt.
But given her colour choice, she’s at no risk of fading into the background.
