James Arthur calls Louis Tomlinson a “little b**ch” after secret text row
James is said to have angered Louis after the Impossible singer criticised One Direction
You would think James Arthur would be happily sitting back excited to hear what his fans think of his new album.

But instead of waiting for the messages of, as he would say, “#LOVE”, to flood in, the former X Factor winner is busy picking fights with other stars.

And this time James has taken aim at One Direction member Louis Tomlinson calling the singer a “little b**ch” after the pair became embroiled in a secret text message battle.

Details of the fight emerged on Thursday when James went on a tirade against the much loved boybands of the world, tweeting: “And f**k boybands! Bring on the hate I don’t wanna be popular. Apart from JLS who are genuinely the coolest people I’ve met in music.”

Teen Tells Of Her Trauma At The Hands of Nasty James Arthur.
There’s a reason why James Arthur has never featured here on NMi but the Sun+ should hug their butt cheeks something special today because they’ve earned it. They have achieved the impossible. They’ve found a formula to make James Arthur look more disgusting than he already is.

The Sun’s secret formula is a 17 year-old girl from Stockton-on-Tees. What you’re about to read isn’t funny, theres no sarcasm, no play on words and no funny phrases used to entertain your asses.

No. This is the story of a nasty piece of fornicating trash who used his celebrity status to destroy the hopes and dreams of a young teenage girl. The girl’s name is Ellie Shepherdson. She is just 17 years-old.

Like all teenage girls, Ellie has a Facebook page. Like thousands of impressionable teens Ellie sent James a friend request. She was amazed and delighted when he said, “Yes, he’d be her friend”. They started sending each other messages but James told Ellie not to tell anyone about their communications.

Little Mix Salute album review: A razor-sharp record that makes a mark
As far as X Factor winners go, Little Mix have become one of the series’ more successful champions. Their very good debut album DNA has charted all over the globe and they are idolised by teen girls from Newcastle to New York.

So why does it feel like the group have yet to really make their stamp in pop? While their debut contained a number of extremely good anthems, the image and production became a little sugary for older audiences to digest at times, meaning they were unable to clinch a wider appeal.

It’s something that is firmly rectified on their second set Salute with glorious results. We may have been left a tad confused after first listening to lead single ‘Move’ with its rattling beats and off-kilter chorus, but like all good pop songs, after a couple of spins its melody and intricate production detail sank its grip firmly into our ears. It sets Little Mix’s new direction up nicely – not only in terms of razor-sharp R&B production, but giving the group their own lane in music.

After Eminem, Can Albums From One Direction, Lady Gaga or Britney Spears Rack Up Monster Debuts?
With Eminem’s new album on course for a blockbuster first week, are there any other albums left this year than can also rack up huge, half-million-plus debuts?

Yes. But that list is very short. As in: There’s just one album on it: One Direction’s “Midnight Memories.”

As previously reported, Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” is set to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week with around 750,000 sold (through the tracking week ending Nov. 10). It will tally the second-biggest sales week of the year, after the debut of Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience,” which bowed with 968,000 in March, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

According to forecasts from label sources, One Direction’s “Midnight Memories,” due out Nov. 25, could debut with a little over 500,000.

It’s the third album from the British vocal group, and follows their last release, “Take Me Home.” That set bowed with 540,000 in its first week back in November of 2012.

X Factor 2013 judges claim Tamera Foster’s getting favoured!
The X Factor 2013 judges are reportedly angry that Tamera Foster is getting special treatment.

Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Sharon Osbourne are all reportedly miffed that Nicole Scherzinger’s act is being favoured by show bosses.

According to The Sun, they’ve complained that the 16-year-old has been given extra rehearsal time and “special attention” from hair stylists and show minders.

And it’s apparently all because X Factor boss Simon Cowell reckons she can sell records.

“It’s all kicked off backstage this week for the first time. After Tamera was in the bottom two last week, a lot of people close to Cowell realised there was a serious chance she could get the boot,” a source told the newspaper today.

They explained: “They don’t want to let that happen so have been going to extra lengths to make her comfortable. The feeling at Syco is that the only contestant with a chance in hell of becoming a pop star that could sell records is Tamera.”
