==Robbie Williams News:
======But there was no concentrating on what he was saying when he looked like he was on the verge of becoming a blue rinse pensioner.
Maybe Robbie was trying to jump on the Kim Kardashian bandwagon of bleach blonde hair, but it didn't turn out quite as he'd hoped.
The 41-year-old looked more like Father Christmas with a bad hair cut than the suave grey-haired George Clooney that we imagine he was aiming for.

====X Factor News:
=====The X Factor – with its drawn-out audition process, mandatory tears, artificially tense public votes and bickering judges – might not be the most sophisticated of televisions programmes, but it is undeniably addictively watchable. There’s singing – sometimes even some good singing – but it always feels second-place to the manufactured drama.
With The X Factor Live Tour, on the other hand, what you get is just get the singing. At Wembley’s live show last night, seven of the 12 finalists from last year’s series, plus winner Ben Haenow, treated the audience to some of their more popular tracks from last year’s shows. Essentially, it was a slickly choreographed, upmarket karaoke session, with sparkling pyrotechnics and excellent backing dancers.
Eight-man (well, eight-boy) troupe Stereo Kicks appeared to have one of the biggest followings in the audience, which was largely comprised of eager 8-year-olds and their mothers: I spotted more than a few painstakingly hand-drawn Stereo Kicks signs. Both of the group’s performances, The Beatles’ Let it Be, and an energetic rendition of Back Street Boys’ Everybody (Backstreet's Back), were tuneful and fun, but the other group in attendance – Only the Young – possibly had the edge, with their toe-tapping Jailhouse Rock/Twist and Shout mash-up.
While there were no bad performances from any of the acts, after a while, things began to feel a little bland. The one exception to this was runner-up in the competition last year, Fleur East, who held the arena spellbound every time she stepped on stage: all big voice, wild hair and searing, sizzling charisma.
She opened the show with a fantastic version of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s Can’t Hold Us; her All About That Bass was actually better than the original (apologies to Meghan Trainor fans); and, later on, she danced and sung her heart out to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The latter even ended with the dancers, and finally East herself, throwing themselves into a “grave”, courtesy of a stage trapdoor (it’s always nice to see stage trapdoors getting put to good use).
When overall winner Ben Haenow was finally wheeled out – the show saved him for last – he delivered a rousing performance, that included last year’s number one single Something I Need. But, coming straight after East’s dazzling Uptown Funk – easily the highlight of the night - his section actually felt anti-climactic, highlighting the overall absurdity and “popularity contest” nature of X factor itself. Die-hard fans of the show might appreciate the X factor Live Tour. For everyone else, it’s probably best to wait until East gets her own tour.
