Gary Barlow talks Tamera Foster "She's better off out of The X Factor

 

Gary Barlow has declared that Tamera Foster is better off out of The X Factor.

The talent show judge told The Sun that he thinks the teenager will have a better career as a result of her exit on Sunday night.

"She's 16 years old, and what I'd love to see her do now is go and lock herself in a studio for a year, two years, and really find who she is as an artist.

"We shouldn't be worried about her going -- it will make her get out next year and get to work and come back a superstar."

And Tamera responded: "I'm gutted to be out before the semi-final but I'm really excited by what Gary said."

Meanwhile, she also admitted in another interview with Digital Spy that her time on the show had been "the worst two weeks of my life".

She said: "Because I'm new to this process I don't really know what to expect and I'm still learning, so I think I just let everything get on top of me and I didn't really know to handle it.

"Those two weeks were my time to just cry. The stress got me during that time, but I've picked myself up and I'm feeling a lot better now."

James Arthur's sister speaks out "Fame has broken James"

 

James Arthur has reportedly told his family that the pressures of fame have "broken" him.

The winner of last year's series of The X Factor was recently signed off of work with "severe exhaustion" - and his sister Sian has now spoken to The Mirror about his state of mind.

The 27-year-old was apparently speaking "with his blessing" and said: "Sometimes I wish he’d never won X Factor.

"Despite finally having what he's always wanted, he says he feels like a caged animal surrounded by yes-men and is really lonely.

"He turned down media training and I think he has really struggled with this new world. The sad fact is he still doubts himself and fears ending up back in that bedsit.

"I think he struggles to admit that he's not coping."

J-Arth, 25, has been accused of homophobia after a rash response to one of his critics in a rap battle track he posted online.

Sian commented: "It is a cliché to say 'oh but he's got loads of gay friends' but with James it's the truth – and to top it all off he shared a bed with Rylan for months!

"It was the wrong word to use, no excuses – but he apologised immediately and the hate campaign against him has gone too far now. He made a mistake and he's so sorry about it that he's making himself ill with worry."

And she pleaded with the public not to write her brother off.

"He's human and people need to move on from a mistake that he made that he's deeply, deeply sorry for.

"Please listen to his music – and realise that he's a genuine, honest person who has been through a lot, does everything for his family and is still trying to find himself."

The one thing me cannot take away from James is that he is fantastically talanted and we hope is in a better place sooner rather than later. 

Lucy Spraggan try's to clear the air with James Arthur.

Following their public Twitter spat earlier this month,B Lucy Spraggan once again turned to the social networking site to clear the air with former X Factor co-star James Arthur.

The 22-year-old tweeted: “There has been a lot of discussion around my tweets to James Arthur last week and I'd like to make my views clear."

“This is a sensitive subject and I want to clarify that, whilst I know James isn't a homophobe and I didn't intend for my tweets to be read that way, I did want to confront an issue that I feel really strongly about and which is what I had hoped to highlight.”

“Homophobic language has sadly become so engrained into everyday conversation,” Lucy continued. “People don't realise the discriminating and devastating effect it can have.”

Last year both guitar-playing Lucy and 25-year-old James got past judges’ houses in the singing competition but Lucy withdrew from the competition in week 5. Arthur went on to be crowned the X Factor winner 2012.

He is scheduled to perform on the X Factor this weekend (December 1), despite cancelling a string of recent appearances due to “acute exhaustion”.

Justin Bieber Australia graffiti 'must be removed'

According to reports 

Justin Bieber has landed himself in trouble with an Australian mayor after spray painting a hotel wall.

The Boyfriend singer was originally given permission by the hotel to graffiti on its wall outside, but the local council have now ordered that JB remove his scrawl due to a zero tolerance to street art in the area.

A Gold Coast City Council spokesperson told AAP: "It might be on private land but it's in prominent public view.

"The mayor will be contacting our compliance officers today to have a notice issued to the hotel to clean it up."

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tait also branded Bieber's actions as "really silly", adding: "Just come and clean it up and we'll be happy with you. Alternatively come and sing at our mayoral Christmas carols on December 7 for an hour and I'll let you go."

Despite their comments, the GT Gold Coast has defended the 19-year old on their Facebook page, stating: "He asked, and we said YES.

"[We] can't imagine why people think that being a superstar means you stop asking permission. Sure, you get extra swag on the way, but he was a pleasure to take care of.

"Just once we would like to be able to celebrate how nice most of these superstars are when they stay with us."

Biebs, who is currently on tour Down Under, is yet to comment on the reports. This happen recently happenedin Brzil too.
