A 13-year-old hopeful in American version of The X Factor has collapsed sobbing on stage after being knocked out of the contest, prompting concerns about exploitation of the young hopefuls.

Rachel Crow was sent home after judge Nicole Scherzinger refused to choose between her and Marcus Canty, deliberately sending the vote to deadlock - which revealed that the teenager had the fewest votes.
On hearing the bad news, the youngster slumped to the ground and dissolved into tears - prompting her mother to run on stage to comfort her.

Show host Steve Jones moved to comfort her but was beaten to the punch by head judge Simon Cowell, who shielded her from the cameras as he gave her a hug.

Rachel's was quickly on the stage reassuring her that everything was going to be okay, and between sobs Rachel could be heard replying: "Mommy you promise me?... Promise me?"

The lower age limit for the show in the US is 13, whereas in the UK it is 16.

See the unhappy moment for yourself...



What do you reckon? Is it exploitation? Comment below please...

Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen will be starring in the Hollywood adaptation of classic musical Les Miserables.

The comic actor will be taking the role of Monsieur Thénardier, which was played by fellow Brit funnyman Matt Lucas on the stage in London's West End.
Sacha will reportedly star alongside Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Helena Bonham Carter in the big screen adaptation of the musical adaption of Victor Hugo's famous French novel.

Things must already be well under way because the movie is scheduled to hit cinemas next year, as will his next movie The Dictator - which has already finished filming.

What do you reckon? Will SBC make the transition to straight acting? Comment below...

It used to be Simon Cowell or Dannii Minogue's faces that got the most attention in terms of cosmetic work on The X Factor judging panel, but it their absence this year Louis Walsh has had to step manfully into the breach.

And the twinkly Irishman has not disappointed - admitting that the lustrous grey thatch we admire every week on the gogglebox is partly the result of a hair transplant.
Louis, 59, insists that it was Simon Cowell who prompted him to get his barnet boosted, despite his initial reservations.

He said: "I could have just left it and got on with things, but with TV today, everything is in high definition, and people notice every little thing.

"And if you're getting on, and you're on TV with a lot of young people, you have to look after yourself. So I thought 'I don't want a bald spot! I'm going to get this sorted."

The procedure would have cost up to £30k normally, but Louis got the work done for free in exchange for plugging the Dublin clinic that did the thatching.

If you want the gory details, the process is called Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation (URFUT) and sees strips of skin taken from the back of the head and grafted into places where hair has stopped growing.

And we have to admit, the results are pretty impressive.

What do you reckon? Should Louis be proud of his improved barnet? Comment below...

Never before had a girl group made it beyond about week three of the live shows on The X Factor, but it's now starting to look as though Little Mix could go all the way.

The foursome are now the bookies' favourites to win the TV talent show tomorrow night, as well as topping viewer polls.
William Hill and Paddy Power have them on very poor odds of 5/4, while Ladbrokes and Coral have them on 11/8.

In contrast it's easy to get a wager on Marcus Collins at 2/1 - while the previous favourite Amelia Lily is languishing in third place in the odds at around 5/2.

Meanwhile The Sun has reported that show supremo Simon Cowell wants the girls to become "the new Spice Girls" and send them out on a joint tour with One Direction.

More than half of users of entertainment websites Digital Spy and Unreality TV wanted Little Mix to win in its poll - and you can have your own say in our poll right here...

We'd like to be the fly on the wall when Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack meets the mother of her young boyfriend Harry Styles over Christmas.

The 32-year-old hooked up with 17-year-old Harry a while ago - and has since been defending their age-gap relationship in the media.
So it'd be interesting to hear if she'll use the same lines on Harry's mum Anne Cox - who we suspect will be considerably closer to her age than she is Harry's.

The Mirror quoted a source as saying: "Harry has asked Caroline to meet his family this Christmas. And, after some persuasion she has agreed.

"Like any mother, Anne is concerned over the age gap but, if Harry can get his mother to see that Caroline makes him happy, that's all he wants."

Caroline defended her involvement with Harry earlier this week, saying she didn't think it was fair to call it "disgusting".

What do you think? Will they get on? Comment below...
