Disgraced X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza is reported to have splurged on the cocaine that got him booted off the show out of a £3k payment for appearing in a Marks and Spencer advert.

The 18-year-old is claimed by The Mirror newspaper to have spent part of his windfall on the class A drug as he partied all night.
The paper quoted a source as saying: "Frankie is a normal 18-year-old. He got the money and it was burning a hole in his pocket. He couldn't wait to blow it on partying."

But M&S has denied making any payments to the contestants for its advert, which Frankie has now been edited out of - and instead it seems they were all given "discretionary payments" by FremantleMedia - who make the show.

And that's not the only story about Frankie in today's papers.

The Sun reports how pretty 19-year-old blonde Becca Hills and a friend partied all night with fun-time Frankie.

She said: "Some stuff happened between us, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about. I don't plan to keep in contact with him. There's no future between us.

"I never wanted him to get in trouble. He seemed a lovely guy who likes a drink."

And her friend Katherine Holland, also 19, added: "We didn't see him do cocaine, but it's not that we followed his every move. Drugs are for losers, we never touch them."

Apparently Frankie was more succinct when speaking to a friend about the whole business.

The Sun quotes him as saying: "I've been a f***ing mug."

And he later tweeted: "Sorry to my supporters AND haters that I haven't tweeted for a bit. I always saw the Xfactor as a start.. Nothing's changed. God bless."

What do you reckon? Can Frankie still make it in pop? Comment below...

What is it with these celebs and their inability to get in and out of cars without flashing their bits?
And if they do find it so difficult, it might be an idea to wear more than a piece of dental floss under those teeny tiny dresses. Just an idea.
But who's giving us the bum show? Find out over the jump...

Step forward (actually, sit down)... Chloe Sims.

The TOWIE star gave the full moon as she left a wrap party for the Essex-based reality show in central London. She was joined by the rest of the cast at the bash at The Penthouse club in Leicester Square including Lauren Goodger and Sam and Billie Faiers.

Chloe said recently that she was considering having bum implants in a bid to improve her self confidence.

The 29-year-old - who has already had breast implants, lip fillers and tooth veneers - told Reveal magazine, "A big bottom will make me sexier and more confident. It's the last part of my body I want to change. Men like confident girls with a bit of meat on them."

She also revealed she wears knickers with foam bum implants under jeans and leggings in a bid to give her a more shapely derriere.

"'You can only do that in the winter, though. In the summer I'm left with a saggy bum on the beach, which is embarrassing."

Bet she's glad she wasn't wearing them last night.

We might have lost him to the US version of the X Factor, but it's good to know that despite not being on the UK judging panel Simon Cowell's ego is still very much intact. Alexandra Burke has revealed the music mogul told her the new panel are simply keeping the chairs warm, fueling speculation he could return to the show.
Talking to us exclusively at the launch of the BBC Children in Need Celebrity Style Challenge, she said,"No-one has taken his place. Simon said to me on the phone once: 'no-one has taken my place, we're just filling in the seats',"

While the 2008 series winner admitted she liked the new judging line-up of Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland, Louis Walsh and Tulisa, she called for the return of her record label boss to spice up the show after its ratings slide.

"It would make a good old shock if Simon did come back. I think it would be a lot of fun," she said.

"I wouldn't say [the new judges] are better because it's different. No-one can touch Cowell.
Cowell is Cowell. That's it. There is no-one in my life or in my brain that is more powerful than this man."

Alexandra also revealed that she hasn't heard from her former mentor Cheryl Cole since her axing from The X Factor USA.

The pair became close after Cheryl guided Alexandra to victory, but their relationship is not exactly 'ok dot com' after Cheryl failed to reply to a text she sent after she was kicked off the US version of the show.

"I speak to Cheryl every blue moon. I don't really speak to her that often but I wish her all the best."

Oh dear. Doesn't seem like Cheryl likes to keep in touch with her old contestants - just ask Cher Lloyd.

Kim Kardashian's marriage crisis talks with estranged hubby Kris Humphries do not appear to have worked, because the US reality TV queen is reported to be getting her lawyers to push ahead with divorce proceedings.

Kimmy filed for divorce last week, just 72 days after she tied the knot with NBA star Kris in a lavish $20m wedding.
They had a heart-to-heart at Kris's home in Minnesota at the weekend, but US gossip site TMZ reports that Kim is now pressing forward with the divorce having "gained closure".

Kris will apparently be represented by his family lawyer while Kim has hired Laura Wasser, who has previously represented Britney Spears and Ryan Reynolds in their divorces.

The site quoted an insider as saying there were "no conflicts" over the divorce.

What do you think? Should they give it another go? Comment below...

It looks like Suri Cruise might have some competition on her tiny hands.

There's a younger model in town and she's after her mini-fashionista crown.

Yep, she might only be three-months old, but Harper Seven Beckham is already at the centre of a model agency bidding war in the US. Where else?
Victoria and David Beckham's newest arrival might be a long way off strutting down a catwalk (although she's already attended her first fashion show) but that hasn't stopped some of the biggest modelling agencies in LA trying to sign the tiny tot to their books.

Christophe Burton, a LA-based model told the Daily Star: "It's the talk of Tinseltown.

"One big agency wants to speak to Victoria and David with a view to signing Harper on a contract. Other agencies caught wind of the plan and are now set to contact the Beckhams with similar offers.

"The offers will be flooding in. Every agency is trying to think how they can persuade the Beckhams to let Harper take her first steps in the fashion world."

First steps? The little blighter can't even crawl yet.

My advice? Tell 'em you won't get out of your cot for less than $10,000.

He may have been given the boot along with partner Lulu last week, but it has been confirmed that Brendan Cole will be returning to Strictly Come Dancing this week to cover for an injured Artem Chingvintsev.

It was revealed earlier this week that Artem was thought to be suffering from a fractured spine, and was sitting out rehearsals with partner Holly Valance.

As a result, Artem will be on the ballroom bench this weekend, with Brendan partnering Holly.

However, his condition is not as bad as first feared, and he is hoping to be back on the dancefloor soon.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Artem was initially diagnosed with a transverse process fracture of the lumbar spine.

"However the latest medical advice from a spinal specialist following further scans is that he is suffering with a combination of joint and soft tissue injury.

"While this medical advice is more encouraging he will still need to rest, so will not be dancing this Saturday."

But Artem has been on hand helping Holly and Brendan to choreograph their routine, which he promises will be one to watch.

'I'm sad not to be dancing with Holly this weekend, but I'm grateful that Brendan is quickstepping in to fill my dancing shoes, and the two of them will be fantastic," he told Zoe Ball on last night's Strictly spin-off It Takes Two.

But Holly's not feeling quite as positive.

"I'm at a disadvantage because I'm dancing with someone completely new," she said. "I'd just got to know dancing with Artem, got to know his body."

Don't tell Kara that.

What do you think? Will Brendan and Holly make a good pair? Leave a comment below.

It seems George Clooney has always been a hit with the ladies after revealing he lost his virginity when he was 16 years old, an age he describes as "young, very young, too young."

The actor made the revelation in an interview with Rolling Stone and he didn't stop there either (although he probably should have done).
Talking about his first errrrm, solo sexual experience he said, "I believe it was while climbing a rope when I was 6 or 7 years old. I mean, nothing came out, but all the other elements were there."

Whoah. TMI George, TMI.

"I remember getting to the top of the rope, hanging off the rope, and going, 'Oh, my God, this feels great!'"

He also talked about current girlfriend, former WWE star Stacy Keibler, who he has been dating since the summer.

"She can do whatever she wants," he said. "I rarely tell anybody what they should be doing with their life."

The wait is over people! Now don't all rush at once but the Kate and Pippa Middleton dolls are here. The sisters have finally been immortalized in plastic so you can re-enact the Royal Wedding until your heart's content.

Or just give them to your nan to pop over her loo roll.
The Middy sisters join the likes of One Direction and JLS with their own dolls, but we can't say the likeness is exactly uncanny...

We'd expect dolls of royalty to be dainty and made of porcelain - not have large proportions, hinged joints and skin colour the cast of TOWIE would be well jel of.

And if Kate's portly figure wasn't enough of a slur on the tiny-waisted princess, they've made her vintage Alexander McQueen dress look postively cheap.

Not that you can say that about the dolls themselves.

Kate's will set you back a right royal £120, while Pippa is a much more affordable £30. Ouch.

Oh well, at least they got Pippa's pert bottom right.

Do you think the dolls have a likeness? Or do you think they are an insult to the Middletons? Leave a comment below.
