The remaining 100, including favorites like Chris Medina, Jacee Badeaux and James Durbin will sing solo before going to Las Vegas round.

Group Day on "American Idol" this season wilts it down 100 as some notable contestants were sent home. Paris Tassin, who became an early favorite with her soulful voice and her touching story about her hearing impaired daughter, was among the eliminated ones.

Taking the same route as Paris was Rob Bolin whose ex lover Chelsee Oaks passed this stage along with Jacqueline Dunford. And then there was Tiffany Rios who shocked the judges during her audition with the star bras. She was sent home together with duet partner Jessica Yantz.

Meanwhile, Jacee Badeaux almost did not make it when he struggled on the song "Mercy". But then his group explained that he was kicked out of the old one at the last minute and that he did not know the song. Jacee and his group, Brett Loewenstern, Denise Jackson, Stevie Cain and Natalie Hanson, all made it through.

On Thursday night, the remaining contestants will be trimmed to 50 and this batch would be sent to Las Vegas

However, they would only shoot four more episodes, which is 4 fewer episodes than what was originally promised to the network.

Charlie Sheen has the chance to return to work later this month - bosses of his hit comedy "Two and a Half Men" are preparing to resume filming, according to a U.S. report. Work on the show was suspended while the actor had rehab treatment at home in Los Angeles after he was hospitalized in January following a night of wild partying.

He has since said he is desperate to get back on set - and bosses of the CBS show are now planning to restart production on February 28, according to the Hollywood Reporter. But the shooting schedule has been pared back - the website reports only four further episodes will be made for the current season instead of the planned eight.

Damon mistakes Elena for Katherine after the evil vampire manages to find her way out of the tomb.

"The Vampire Diaries" preview shows that Katherine is out of the tomb. Katherine's mind games are getting on everyone's nerves, but Damon, Stefan and Elena realize that her knowledge of Mystic Falls history will help them stay alive.

Speaking of how the evil vampire manages to escape the tomb, exec producer Julie Plec told Zap2It, "If Katherine has her way, absolutely, she'll be getting out of that tomb. It's all going to come down to how crafty she can be." Nina Dobrev who plays both Elena and Katherine added, "She's plotting her way out. She's a woman who likes to be in control and when she's not, she's not happy."


Also in the episode, frustrated with her relationship with Matt, Caroline finds a new way to get his attention. Alaric makes a surprising confession to Jenna, and Katherine makes a different kind of confession to Damon. Stefan and Bonnie try to convince Jonas and Luka that they should all be working together, but Jonas' lack of trust leads to a violent and fiery confrontation.

A Dancing On Ice spokesperson said: 'Chloe was doing her jeté and instead of landing on her foot flatly she caught her toe pick and crashed on the ice.

'Michael who was right behind her and fell on top of her but managed to avoid cutting her.

'Chloe was surprised as she had never messed this move up before.'

Writing on her Twitter page today: 'Arm still killing, plus I fell on it yesterday pretty badly, but I don't care, I just don't want it to affect routine.'


Ouch: Chloe has been nursing her bruised body with ice packs, but is determined it won't affect Sunday's performance


Chloe admitted she spent Thursday night resting and cheering herself up with chocolate, with her parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan looking after her.

Richard wrote on on his Twitter: 'Right, off for Arnica cream, tablets, witch hazel, and all the other stuff you've recommended for bruise-busting. Thanks, gang!'
Joking last night, Chloe said: 'It'll be fine it just hurts like a *#*@*+*@*?* right now! thanks though!.

'On my 6th Hob Nob, had a big fall and I'm comforting myself with choccie. Will be fine by tomorrow, just need to sleep on ice... eugh, ice!'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Revealing figure: Jennifer Hudson revealed on Oprah today that she has lost a massive 80 pounds since embarking on her weight loss journey


Jennifer Hudson has finally shared 'her magic number' - the amount of weight she has lost since embarking on her weight loss journey.

The 29-year-old singer revealed on The Oprah Winfrey show today that she has dropped a whopping 80lbs from her frame - and feels better than she ever has.

The Weight Watchers spokeswoman said: 'It's like a brand new me. Sometimes I don't even recognise myself!'


Dreamgirl: The Weight Watchers spokeswoman said she has has never felt better since going down from a size 16 to a size 6


Although she has revealed that she has gone down from a size 16 to a size 6, she says she has now reached her goal weight and does not want to get any slimmer.

'That 4 and that 2 and that 0 is not for me', she said of the minute clothing sizes.

The Chicago native is also giving back and has taken everything she has learned and passed it on to several family members who have also slimmed down with her.

Collectively her relatives have lost a massive 1,935 pounds which she said was a great motivation in her continuing to lose inches too.


Tearful: Jennifer became emotional when she was asked about her family's tragic death in 2008


Tragic: The actress' mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew were murdered by her sister's boyfriend


The new mother to baby David Jr also shared her weight loss tips with the audience.
She said she prepares all of her own food and does a variety of exercises to mix things up including running on the treadmill and jumping rope.

But Jennifer became emotional when Oprah asked her how she has managed to go on since losing her mother, brother and seven-year-old nephew in a gun massacre in 2008.

Her family were murdered by her sister's ex-boyfriend in a horrific tragedy that left the singer distraught.


Brave: The Oscar and Grammy winner said she honours her family's memory by making them proud


'The only thing I can do to honour their memory is to make them proud', Jennifer said of her loss.

She added that she was able to move forward and live again with the help of 'my family, my baby and God'.

The Grammy and Oscar winner is happily engaged to lawyer-turned-wrestler David Otunga who she has been dating for four years.

Jennifer's new album I Remember Me is released in the UK on April 25.

Strictly one of the boys: Kara Tointon hangs out with Artem and fellow dancers James Jordan and Jared Murillo on tour

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Lads - and Kara's - day out: Miss Tointon joined boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev and other Strictly dancers James Jordan and Jordan Murillo for lunch in Manchester yesterday


She is one of the most glamorous contestants of Strictly Come Dancing whose sex appeal and sultry dancing won the competition.

But Kara Tointon proved that she can also be one of the boys as she spent yesterday hanging out with the Strictly Come Dancing lads.

The actress was snapped in Manchester ahead of the BBC One show's date at the city's Evening News Arena which takes place tonight.

Yesterday, during a break in rehearsals, Kara, 27, left the Lowry Hotel, where contestants and their dancing partners are staying, for some food.

But she didn't indulge in a girls' lunch with her fellow female dancers, but decided to hang out with the lads instead.

With boyfriend and dance partner Artem Chigvintsev, the couple were joined by dancers James Jordan and Jared Murillo as they headed out for a bite to eat.


Catching up: While Artem chatted to Jared, Kara and James checked their emails and text messages


The four were snapped waiting to cross the road as they left the hotel and headed into the city.

And in a sign of the times, all four of them clutched mobile phones as they checked their emails and texts sent to them during their rehearsals.

After lunch, they all hit the shops to indulge in some retail therapy and spend their hard-earned Strictly dosh.


Checking in: Kara catches up on her friends, family and possibly agent as she takes a break from Strictly rehearsals


But while James and Jared didn't seem to mind traipsing round the shops, Artem, who has been dating Kara since they were paired together for the BBC show last year, looked bored.

He was snapped propping himself up by a cashier's till looking completely fed up as Kara chatted to the sales assistant.

The four are part of the Strictly tour which is almost at an end after kicking off in Nottingham last month.

After tonight's Manchester date, the tour will wrap up with six dates at the Glasgow SECC.


Fancy a bit of shopping, fellas? Kara rallies her men as they head into town

Cheryl Cole set for Stateside fame and fortune after she lands her dream job on U.S. X Factor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZRGdpe3CSIendofvid


[starttext]

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

The American dream: Cheryl Cole, seen here in Venice today, will be headed Stateside after all after she was named as a judge on the US X Factor today


Speculation has been rife for months now as to whether or not Cheryl Cole will be a judge on the US X Factor.

But today a source told Mail the Girls Aloud star WILL be heading across the Pond for the American version of the talent show.

The source said the 27-year-old singer has been offered the job but has yet to officially ink the deal.

The news comes a day after a report in the News Of The World claimed the hugely popular X Factor judge is in line to sign a deal worth £10million next week.

Although boss Simon Cowell was keen to take Cheryl to the States for the show, producers over there had been concerned that not only was she not famous enough in the US, but some viewers might struggle to understand her Newcastle accent.

But after Fox executives were impressed with her style on the British show, Cheryl has apparently been given the opportunity to make a name for herself in the US.

When asked for a comment, Cheryl's spokesperson said: 'There has been no announcement on American X Factor,' adding any reports to suggest she had been formally invited to be a judge as 'speculation'.

However, in the last week, fears have been raised over the singer's health after she nearly cancelled a gig in Venice.


Geordie girl done good: Cheryl left Venice today as it was confirmed she is set to take the US by storm


Cheryl nearly pulled out of a performance at a private party in the north Italian city for which she was paid £250,000.

Her manager Hilary Shaw was said to be on the verge of tears after her client cancelled flights and other arrangements at the last minute.

She was overheard saying: 'It's been a terrible week. She's cancelling everything. I'm really worried about the repercussions.'

But Cheryl kept the date and arrived at the party just hours before her performance at the bash.

Other friends have suggested that Cheryl is still struggling to come to terms with her divorce from Chelsea star Ashley Cole last September, but this job in the US could be just what she needs to move in.


On the water: Cheryl is helped out of a boat after her performance at a private party in Venice on Saturday


Despite rumours that she has landed the X Factor job, she did not appear or was not mentioned on the first American X Factor ad which was aired on Sunday night during a commercial break in the Super Bowl.

The 30-second promo, which would have cost around $3million to air, revealed that the show is coming to the Fox network in the autumn.

The clip shows X Factor 'X' symbols flying in slow motion, before forming into Simon Cowell, who then turns to face the camera, with epic music playing in the background, and the slogan 'He's back' filling the screen.

Up until now details of the US version have been a closely guarded secret, but the music supremo has now revealed that the winner will walk away with a staggering $5million recording contract.


Guess who it is: Flying X Factor symbols form to create Cowell in the commercial


Winners of the UK series are awarded a £1million contract.
And in a move sure to raise eyebrows, hopefuls as young as 12 will be able to audition.

'I like the idea that a 12-year-old on this show can compete with an older singer and a singing group,' Cowell said in a statement.

'I’ve never believed there should be a cut-off age for talent, and we are going to put our money where our mouths are with the $5million recording contract.

'I’m doing this show in America because I genuinely believe we can find a superstar.'

Making a comeback: The first American X Factor ad aired tonight during a commercial break in the Super Bowl and features Simon Cowell, a judge on the British version of the show and formerly of the American Idol


Commercial doesn't reveal full judging line-up but Cheryl Cole will get job, source confirms


His caustic put downs and straight-talking style have been missed by viewers of this season's American Idol.

But Simon Cowell will be making a comeback to U.S. TV screens this autumn - with the X Factor.

An estimated 100million viewers in the States saw the first ever ad for the talent show air tonight during a commercial break in the Super Bowl.

The 30-second promo would have cost around $3million to air and revealed that the show is coming to the Fox network in the fall of this year.

The clip shows X Factor 'X' symbols flying in slow motion, before forming into Simon Cowell.


Guess who it is: Flying X Factor symbols form to create Cowell in the commercial


He means business: Once formed he then turns around to face the camera, with a serious look on his face


He then turns to face the camera, with epic music playing in the background, and the slogan 'He's back' fills the screen.

Despite reports that Cheryl Cole, one of the judges in the British version of the show, will be joining the line-up, the commercial didn't give a hint of who might be on the U.S. panel.

Miss Cole's people are yet to comment on fresh reports the 27-year-old Girls Aloud star has landed a role.

At first it looked like she had bagged the job after Fox executives were impressed with her style on the British show.

Reports this month then suggested her hopes were dashed after bosses became concerned she was not famous enough in the U.S.


Be prepared: Cowell will be the top judge on the show, which is hugely successful in the UK, but the rest of the judging panel was not revealed


Not long now: The ad, which would have cost around $3million to air during the highly lucrative Super Bowl slot, revealed the show is coming to the Fox network this autumn


However the British Daily Express today reported she had been given the job.
A source told The Sun: 'He wants the show to be the best talent show ever. Details about the judges will be released next week.'

Other stars who have been touted to join the U.S. panel include Nicole Scherzinger and Katy Perry.

Both filled in on the British show this year at various point for Cole, who was struck down with malaria, and Dannii Minogue who was on maternity leaving during the auditions stage.

Meanwhile X Factor host Dermot O' Leary, 37, has said he is unlikely to get a spot on the US version.

He told Chatty Man host Alan Carr: 'i don't think I'll get it. I'm not being pessimistic. It's gone on so long I've made peace with it.'


Tough-talking: The British judging line-up is comprised of Cowell, Cheryl Cole, who has been tipped to get a role on the U.S. show, Dannii Minogue and Simon Cowell

Face-off:Furious Dancing On Ice star Karen Barber's fight with Jason Gardiner after judge's harsh insult as Jennifer Metcalfe's voted off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJQqE5fZ9Wgendofvid

By JODY THOMPSON


Fury: Karen Barber stormed up to Jason Gardiner and accused him of being 'offensive' after his personal slur on her


Dancing On Ice stars Karen Barber and Jason Gardiner almost came to blows tonight after the judge slated the head coach's expertise.

Karen, 49, was seen with tears streaming down her face after Johnson Beharry VC failed to get the points she felt he deserved during his routine on the Las Vegas themed show.

Beharry, 31, had revealed that a friend of his was in the audience who he hadn't seen in five years since they'd convalesced together in hospital, where the hero was recovering from the serious head injuries he'd sustained in Iraq.


Karen said she felt the judges had marked him too low, to which Jason snapped back: 'If your opinion still mattered you'd be on the panel.'




Hero: Johnson Beharry VC revealed it had been an emotional night for him as a fellow injured veteran who hadn't seen for five years was in the audience


A furious Karen left her seat with the celebrity contestants and stormed up to the Australian, jabbing her finger in his face and demanding he repeat what he'd just said.

Her voice quavering, she went right up to his face and said: 'You know Jason, you really are so offensive. You bring so little to this panel.

Posting in the hour-long break between shows, contestant Jeff Brazier Tweeted: 'Can you believe I got up and went to the loo just before Jason went for Karen, I would have had to of stepped in!! She was really upset...'


Unfair: Karen wipes a tear away after Johnson Beharry scored low marks from the judges


Show host Phillip Schofield was initially left shocked by the confrontation, and could only managed a 'Strewth!' to camera.

However, he soon made a joke of it, saying: 'We've added a new dimension to the competition - a fight! No not really. It's Vegas night.'

But when the show resumed after the scheduled break, Karen's chair remained empty, fuelling speculation that she'd stormed out of the studio.

She did return and Jason gave a half-hearted apology at the start of the second half of the show, but Karen wouldn't accept it and held up her hands to say she'd heard enough, calling him a 'nasty,


Themed: The show had a Las Vegas theme last night - a city famous for staging big fights



Missed it: Jeff Brazier Tweeted that he'd missed the confrontation as he'd nipped to the toilet


Relationships between the pair have become increasingly icy since Karen was taken off the judging panel to become the contestants' head coach.

The face-off wasn't the only shock of the night either - one of the show's early favourites, 27-year-old Jennifer Metcalfe, found herself in the bottom two with Vanilla Ice after the public vote and was voted off by the judges in the skate-off.

The former Hollyoaks star, who found love on the ice with French partner Sylvain Longchambon, was so devastated she could barely speak.


Talent: But despite impressive moves like this, Jennifer was voted off the show


Choked: Jennifer became overcome with emotion after being voted off the show


Before announcing the result, Phillip said that even he had found the results of the phone votes surprising.

He said:'We hate this. Shock result tonight.'

After the judges all chose Vanilla Ice over her, Jennifer managed to get out: 'I just wanted to get further for him...' before choking up.

However, on an earlier VT, she'd said: 'I've enjoyed every single minute of it. He's the most perfect coach. I feel amazing on the ice with him.I know now that I can learn anything I want to if I put my mind to it. Ice skating just feels like me, like I'm home. I'm going to continue.'


Shock exit: Despite being solidly in the middle of theJudges' Leaderboard, Jennifer found herself in the bottom two with Vanilla Ice after the public vote


Jennifer had skated to Cher's If I Could Turn Back Time, wearing a sheer costume in the style of the singer and with her hair in similar dark curls.

All the contestants this week had their first skills test and had to complete a steps sequence on their own - which left many with the wobbles.

Kerry Katona was shown almost quitting the show as she had a meltdown in training that she couldn't manage the task.

But despite landing at the bottom of the leaderboard, viewers at home kept the former Atomic Kitten star out of the bottom two.


Confidence crisis: Kerry Katona had a meltdown during her training this week saying she couldn't manage teh step sequence


Battle: Kerry said that although she knew she didn't have as much talent as some of the other contestants, she was 'having a ball' on the ice


Kerry confessed that she didn't have the talent of many of her competitors, but insisted she was thoroughly enjoying her time on the rink.

She said: 'I'm nowhere near as good as the rest of them, but I am having a ball. This is more than a skating show for me. I'm not the best skater, but I'm here for the journey and the entertainment value.'

Judge Emma Bunton agreed, saying: 'You look so pretty tonight. but I think the step sequence has really exposed you tonight. You're such a sweetheart but the others are so far ahead of you now.'

Gangway! Karen Gillan takes on a group of pirates as she wields her sword and swings across a ship in new Doctor Who scenes

Watch out! Karen Gillan - as Amy Pond - swings through a pirate ship knocking one man down as she filmed scenes for the upcoming Doctor Who series


It must be great fun to be Doctor Who's companion.

Because not only do you get to whizz through space and time in his trusted Tardis, but you also get to battle with all sort of villainous aliens and monsters.

But coming face-to-face with a group of pirates aboard their ship proved to be a new challenge for Amy Pond - and one she appears to have risen to magnificently.

Actress Karen Gillan - who plays the Eleventh Doctor's assistant Amy - was snapped swinging on a rope through a pirate ship last night, knocking down one of the scurvy dogs in the process.

She then came face to face with three other rum-drinking thieves of the ocean as she swung towards them but had her sword to hand as she headed their way.

The scenes, that were shot last night in Charleston, Cornwall, will be for one of the episodes of the new series which begins in the spring.

Come on then! Karen swing on as three more pirates head her way - with the Doctor coming up behind them at the back



Come on then! Karen swing on as three more pirates head her way - with the Doctor coming up behind them at the back


Yesterday we saw Karen, 23, practicing her sword moves on board the ship before she got to test them out last night.

Matt Smith, who plays the new Doctor, was also snapped on board the pirate ship set last night.

One onlooker shot a video of Smith, 28, walking the plank suggesting that the Doctor gets himself into another sticky situation.


Get back! Karen wields her sword as she prepares to do battle with the pirates


We stand where? Karen and Matt Smith are given their directions by a crew member on board the ship


The onlooker who captured the moment on video said: 'It seems that someone, presumably the Doctor or Rory, has just been forced to walk the plank and Amy fights back but is taken off guard.

'The bit where she runs and knocks everyone over is meant to be for a rope swing.'

The scenes are part of a new episode of series six, to be shown this Spring, in which the Doctor, played by Matt Smith, 28, and Amy come across pirates on another one of their adventures through time.

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris and boyfriend snuggle their surrogate twins on family stroll

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Babies on board: Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka carry their twins Harper Grace and Gideon Scott on a stroll near their home in Los Angeles


He plays womanising Barney Stinson in the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, but real life couldn't be more different for Neil Patrick Harris.

The actor is revelling in domestic bliss after he and his boyfriend David Burtka welcomed twins via surrogate three months ago.

The couple were spotted enjoying a serene family stroll near his home in Los Angeles with their babies Harper and Gideon strapped to their chests.

The 37-year-old actor and his long-term partner, who both kept the little ones wrapped up, joined by friends and their dogs.

Harris took to Twitter this week to share just how much his life has changed since becoming a father, posting a picture of a Red Bull mini-fridge filled with bottles of milk.

'This pic kind of sums up my life right now,' he wrote.

Last week he said the pair are growing up quickly, noting: 'The tots both started laughing. On the same day.

'I'm now obsessed with getting them to do it. Babies laughing is like opium.'


Daddy duty: The protective pair kept their twins covered during the outing


The fraternal twins were born on October 12 and now live with their famous fathers in their Hollywood Hills home.

For now, at least, it remains a mystery to the pair as to 'whose is whose' in the biological sense.


Stocked up: The actor tweeted this picture of bottles in a Red Bull fridge, saying it 'sums up my life right now'


Speaking about the surrogacy process, Harris told People magazine last month: 'We found an egg donor anonymously through a hilarious process of looking at people's profiles and then an amazing surrogate who had helped same-sex couples before.

'And then we inserted two eggs, one with my sperm, one with David's sperm and they both took.'

Burtka, who quit acting last year to become a chef, added: 'When we first found out it was fraternal twins, we were thrilled.

'We don't know whose is whose, but it's amazing how different they are already. She is all girl and he is all boy,' he added, before Harris elaborated: 'She is more emotional and verbal. He sleeps and burps a lot.'

Harris is, of course, juggling work with fatherhood and recently welcomed Katy Perry to the set of his hit show.

She filmed a guest spot with him on an episode set to air in the U.S. on February 7.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Not so glam: Eva Longoria shotos a scene for Desperate Housewives in rollers and a robe


The ink may be still drying on her divorce, but on screen, Eva Longoria is still very much a married woman.

New stills of the upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives have emerged showing the actress as her sassy on-screen alter-ego, Gabrielle Solis.

The show is set to return to U.S. televisions on February 20 after a hiatus.



All smiles: Eva looks happy for the cameras but in private her divorce was finalised this week
In the upcoming episode, called Farewell Letter, Eva is seen with rollers in her hair and a glamorous silky robe.


The new episode sees Gaby revisiting her home town as part of her therapy.
Gaby finds herself being treated as a celebrity, but one person doesn't like her - her old school teacher, Sister Marta.

She doesn't believe Gaby's claims that her stepfather molested her.


It's complicated: Mike, Zach's biological father drives, while Paul, his adopted father, tries to reason with Zach


The new episode also includes dramatic scenes between Paul, played by Mark Moses, and his adopted son Zach (Cody Kasch) as they get into an altercation during a car ride, driven by Mike (James Denton) who is Zach's biological father.

Paul takes a firm hand with Zach and sends him to rehab.

Meanwhile Lynette (Felicity Huffman), agrees with husband Tom (Doug Savant) that their twins Porter and Preston should move out on their own and learn to fend for themselves.


Guest star: Brian Austin Green, with Bree, played by Marcia Cross, also appears on the new episode


In real life, Eva has been making a point of getting out and about following her split from basketballer Tony Parker, and has been spotted on dates with 25-year-old Eduardo Cruz, brother of Penelope.

While reports out of the U.S. claim the pair are dating, her publicist dismissed the speculation, saying that they are 'just friends'.

Eva and Tony split suddenly in November amid allegations that San Antonio Spurs star had cheated on her with his team mate's wife.

Their divorce was finalised on Friday in a Texas court.
