The Only Way is messy... James Arthur and Mark Wright to be flatmates in LA party pad
N-ice one, Heidi, as Simon warms to model
Jessica Grist, 27. But he has had his diva moments. He won The X Factor in 2012 but then had a painful split with Simon Cowell, before roaring back with monster Say You Won’t Let Go last year and rejoining Syco. We caught up after he performed it at the final of America’s Got Talent on Wednesday. He said: “I like the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, the wackiness, and the grittiness. It’s great.” But he won’t be gone for ever. He was flying home the next day and said: “I’m looking forward to watching the football and sleeping in my own bed. I don’t think I’ve slept in the same bed for two or three consecutive nights for three months. I can’t wait.” I bet Jessica is looking forward to it too. Mark’s wife Michelle Mark & James Standing next to supermodel Heidi Klum on the America’s Got Talent red carpet, Simon Cowell says: “I tell you what, Heidi is actually a nice person – I didn’t know that.” To which Heidi responded: “Did you think I am mean?”
Simon, 57, guffawed: “I thought it was going to be sitting next to an ice cube. I didn’t mean that rudely, but actually you are nice and funny.” Awkward. Heidi, 44, also dug her own hole saying how her kids wouldn’t want to appear on the hit talent contest.
“I don’t think they would want to come on the show,” she says. “They love to watch it but that’s it.” I bet Simon is lining up his three-year-old Eric as we speak...
Meanwhile, he reveals how he’s pining for the UK. “I miss fish and chips,” he says. “As well as HP sauce.” He’s confessed to an obsession with Mick Jagger, calling him the “coolest man on the planet”.
Harry Styles, 23, has taken special dance lessons in order to master the Rolling Stones frontman’s famous hip-shaking moves. He’s even rummaged in thrift stores for costumes similar to those once worn by his idol.
So I wasn’t surprised to see him mimic the 73-year-old rock legend at the iheart gig in Las Vegas.
From his Ossie Clark-style pant suit, so beloved of Sir Mick back in the day, to his gyrations on stage and the legendary pout, Harry was going all out to get the moves like Jagger.
At one point he teased his screaming fans to show “a bit more enthusiasm”. I predict big things for Mandy Jiroux, sidekick to Miley Cyrus in the Youtube Miley and Mandy Show. Now she is breaking out with EP From The Heart. She tells me: “There are so many ups and downs in this industry but I’m optimistic and just kept on going. The show with Miley was incredible but I’m ready to do this for myself.” I think she’ll go far.
