Leigh-Anne Pinnock hints that a Little Mix reunion will happen sometime in the future as The X-Factor UK winners pursue their solo careers.
Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, and Jade Thirlwall went on hiatus following their Confetti Tour in 2022 and, at one point, considered staying together.
“The three of us have this genuine sisterhood, and no one else will ever get it,” Pinnock said in an interview with Dork. “In fact, that last tour was so beautiful that there were times when we asked if we should just carry on as Little Mix because it felt so good. I don’t think it would have worked at that point in our lives, though.”
It’s been two years since the group went on an indefinite hiatus, and Pinnock assures fans that a reunion will happen.

Another Season of American Idol has come and gone. Season 22 crowned winner Abi Carter Sunday night, and judge Katy Perry bid the show farewell. Perry sat at the judges’ panel for seven seasons alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

When it comes to the 1980s, there is no shortage of serviceable horror flicks to max out your nostalgia meter and remind us all why that particular decade reigns supreme for us horror hounds. While the 70s may have perfected the slasher with John Carpenter’s Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre– The 80s delivered on bringing to life some of the greatest creations in the genre. A dream stalking killer with knives for fingers, a summer camp slaughter committed by a giant in a hockey mask, a sadistic demon who loves pain as much as pleasure, and who could forget the slew of iconic and cult status slashers that have spawned franchises still trucking along today. I’m looking at you Leprechaun. But today, my friends, we’re going to be discussing a different kind of horror movie. A movie that breaks the mold from the prototypical horror outing.

Viaplay’s Central and Eastern European production division Paprika Studios has exited the Scandinavian media group.
A management buyout led by Paprika CEO Ákos Erdős will return the Budapest-based producer to its indie roots, and marks the latest chapter in Viaplay’s strategy to recover from a financially devastating 2023.
Selling Paprika was among the plans floated last week as part of a recapitalization program at Viaplay, which is targeting double-digit profit margins in five years’ time. Terms of the agreement were not revealed.
Paprika has been part of Viaplay since 2012, initially joining what was then known as Modern Times Group. After Viaplay decided to focus on its Nordic and Netherlands operations and a content strategy based on premium sports, acquired films and series and local non-scripted productions, Viaplay offered Paprika management the chance to buy back the business. An offer was received on January 10 and the transaction closed on Friday (January 19).

Britney Spears is giving insight into her life in the memoir The Woman in Me and making some surprising revelations. The pop star is opening up about what really happened during her heavily criticized 2007 MTV VMAs performance and why she didn’t like her time judging on The X-Factor USA.
Spears performed “Gimme More” in Las Vegas at the VMAs and was panned by viewers at home as it seemed the star was completely out of it. A few years ago a video of her rehearsal leaked online where Spears performed her musical number flawlessly in contrast to the live performance. Now Spears is revealing she had an awkward encounter with her ex Justin Timberlake that affected her emotionally.
“It had been a while since I’d seen him. Everything was going great in his world. He was at the top of his game in every way, and he had a lot of swagger.

Rita Ora is joining Fox's The Masked Singer.
Fox announced Wednesday that the British pop star will take over for Nicole Scherzinger on The Masked Singer Season 11, set to air in 2024.
The move doesn't affect The Masked Singer Season 10, which premiered Sunday on the network.
The switcheroo is due to Scherzinger's commitment to performing on London's West End in the fall.
Scherzinger, who has been with the show since its premiere in 2019, is expected to return for Season 12 if it gets a formal pickup by the network.
The Pussycat Doll is set to play Norma Desmond in the production of Sunset Boulevard.
With The Masked Singer filming two seasons a year, booking other projects that don't clash with the filming schedule must be tough.
Ora will appear alongside returning panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Robin Thicke, as well as Nick Cannon, who returns as host.

Unfortunately for Scherzinger, the show spans the filming of Season 11 of “The Masked Singer,” which began this month.
Ora is no stranger to “The Masked Singer,” being an alum of “The Masked Singer UK.” She’s also helped out on “The Voice Australia,” as well as “The X-Factor UK,” and will join all the Og panelists for the 2024 season, guesting alongside Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg.

Being an independent producer was never easy. But these days, it’s near impossible. Even before the dual writers and actors strikes, changes in the international film and TV market had made life tough for the indies. Old models of art house moviemaking have been ravaged by a combination of decline in the specialty box office, the collapse of ancillary revenue for home entertainment and TV licensing, and the more recent pullback by streaming companies, who have begun to back fewer, and more mainstream, movies.
But one indie production company has gone from making just a handful of movies a year to dozens, finding a way to turn the turbulent new reality into a business model for making cutting-edge art house cinema that, shockingly, can actually turn a profit. It’s the company behind five of the most hotly anticipated titles at the Venice Film Festival this year: Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things,...

As Malik gets back into the spotlight promoting his new musical release, the X-Factor alum made an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast and talked about his time in the boyband he was in for five years.
“I completely, selfishly wanted to be the first person to go and make my own record, if I’m being completely honest with you,” he said on one of the reasons he left One Direction to pursue his solo career. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna jump the gun here for the first time.’ I’m a passive dude, but when it comes to my music and my business, I’m serious about it and I’m competitive.

Simon Cowell gained fame with his reputation as the brutally honest — and sometimes downright mean — judge on American Idol. However, that wasn’t who Cowell really was, according to former Fox executive Mike Darnell. In an interview last year, Darnell revealed that Cowell’s “mean judge” personality was all part of a “character” created specifically for American Idol. Here’s more on Cowell’s time on Idol and his persona, plus what he’s been up to since leaving the show.

Cowell, who grew up in an upper-class family in England, worked in the record industry for years. He was a talent scout and producer, signing artists and groups like Westlife, Sinitta, Jerome Flynn, and more. So, Cowell knew what to look for when he became a judge on Pop Idol in the U.

Simon Cowell‘s got a very specific reason for why he’d be on board for another run of “The X Factor”, and if Britney Spears would rejoin him in that venture, even better.
When Et’s Will Marfuggi spoke to Cowell in November at the “America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” finale red carpet event in Los Angeles, the famed TV personality explained why singing competitions like “AGT”, “The X Factor” and “American Idol” are absolutely necessary, even in a digital age where anyone can find stardom on platforms like YouTube.
In short, there’s a ton of undiscovered talent out there, and therein lies the purpose of the singing competitions and the driving point behind Cowell returning to “The X Factor”, which is reportedly in talks about a revival on NBC.

Twenty-one years ago, Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell teamed up with Ryan Seacrest for the first time to find the best amateur singing voices on American Idol Season 1.

Jackson, Abdul, and Cowell all walked away from American Idol eventually, but the show lived on with different judges. Here’s why the original trio left.

Discussing their retrospective experiences, Clarkson asked Horan if it was useful to have the support of bandmates around him during his time on the show.
“We were so lucky,” replied Horan. “You would see all the other artists melting all the time over everything. And we were just 16, 17, 18, 19 – whatever we were. It was so fun.”

Orlando Bloom learnt for the first time that his wife Katy Perry is responsible for the career of Niall Horan.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star and former One Direction singer shared the couch on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday (16 February).

Perry was a guest judge on The X Factor in 2010 when Horan was auditioning in the competition.
Corden then pulled up a clip of the moment the “Teenage Dreams” singer cast the deciding vote to send Horan through to the next round.
“That is fantastic!” Bloom, who had not appeared to have seen the clip before, raved. “Is that the moment that changed your whole thing?” He asked Horan.

Niall Horan had no idea he was first on the list when it came to “The X Factor U.K.” judges picking pictures of auditionees to form One Direction back in 2010.
Horan chats to Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman about a video the show posted last year, showing Simon Cowell adding his photo first to what would become one of the biggest boy bands out there.
As Hoffman questions whether he knew this beforehand, or whether he found out with everyone else, the singer replies: “I found out when that video came out. I seen it and I was like, ‘Really?'”
Horan jokingly adds, “It was always going to be built around me.”

The 2023 Brit awards have come to a conclusion – albeit a slightly uneventful one.
Britain’s biggest night in music saw a number of repeat winners, with Isle of Wight duo Wet Leg and Harry Styles taking home multiple awards.

The event kicked off at London’s O2 arena with a star-studded red carpet. Celebrities including Styles, Sam Smith, Salma Hayek, Lewis Capaldi, and Ellie Goulding struck a pose.
Smith, in particular, turned heads in their shiny black inflatable latex jumpsuit. You can see the boldest looks from the Brits here.
Comedian Mo Gilligan returned to host for a second time. The Masked Singer judge and Netflix star took over hosting duties from long-time presenter Jack Whitehall in 2022.

Before he released solo music, Styles auditioned on The X Factor. He was added to One Direction, which recorded and released music for several years. That is, until Zayn Malik officially left the boy band on March 25, 2015, due to “stress.”
One Direction continued to release music as a four-piece group. That includes Made In the A.M., with original tracks “Drag Me Down,” “Perfect,” and “I Want to Write You a Song.”

A night in music brimming with shocking upsets, historic wins, tributes for artists like the late rapper Takeoff and hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, the 65th Grammys were back in full swing Sunday. Once again, Beyoncé was in the running for the top honour.
Once again, the show ended with someone else winning album of the year.
This year was widely seen as a chance for the Grammys to honour the superstar with a marquee award, especially on a night where she could have ( and did ) become its most decorated artist.
Instead, Harry Styles won, and a line from his acceptance speech stung those who thought Beyoncé should have won.
Here’s what happened, how it’s been perceived and who picks the Grammys’ top honours.

Exclusive: Fremantle is planning to once again merge Britain’s Got Talent producer Thames with Talkback under a restructure that will be unveiled in the coming months.
Deadline understands plans are being drawn up to consolidate Fremantle’s UK entertainment labels, with the coming together of the two stalwart British production houses a strong possibility. The Apprentice producer Naked, which was merged with Fremantle stablemate Boundless in 2020, could also be brought within the newly-merged entity.
If rubberstamped, Deadline understands a label boss will be hired to oversee the new Talkback Thames shingle and a redundancy process will likely take place. We revealed late last month that Thames MD Amelia Brown is exiting after two decades to set up her own production company, while Naked MD Fatima Salaria is also departing shortly.
If the plans are pushed through, the move will be the third time Thames has been combined with Talkback. They...

One Direction have had their fair share of ups and downs as a band ever since they were formed on "The X Factor" in 2010, became the biggest boy band in the world in the blink of an eye, and ultimately broke up in 2015. But if Liam Payne and Niall Horan's reactions to Harry Styles winning album of the year at the 2023 Grammys prove anything, it's that whether the band are together or not, they show up and support one another when it counts.
Styles had an eventful night at the 2023 Grammys on Feb. 5. After schmoozing with Taylor Swift and Lizzo in the audience, he took to the stage to perform his Billboard No. 1 single "As It Was." Later, he won the award for best pop vocal album and then the top prize of the night, album of the year, for "Harry's House."
