I did something I haven't done for a long time yesterday - I turned down dinner with a handsome guy I've been trying to bag for weeks. And it wasn't because I was playing hard to get. The simple fact is I'm already busy on Saturday evening - I've got a hot date with Simon Cowell and the rest of The X Factor crew.

I'll admit it, despite saying I wouldn't, I managed to get hooked on the show this year. The tears, the tiffs, the high drama - it was better than EastEnders! I can't wait for the live final, especially to see Rihanna sing with JLS - it's looking to be something really worth staying in for.

I wonder who'll walk away with the crown? I'm torn between Alexandra and JLS - but after hearing the Rihanna news I think her star power might just help them swing it. No offence to Westlife and Boyzone though, I think they're both fab - it's just that Rihanna is so hot right now that I think she'll get the phone votes pouring in for the boys.
