ITV has reveleaed it's X Factor UK shake up - Sharon Osbourne has returned to X Factor UK following the departure of pop singer Tulisa! Osbourne previously judged the show for it's first four series, from 2004 - 2007, before being replaced by (our personal favourite) Cheryl Cole. Also returning this year are judges Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow, and someone called Louis Walsh. The 2013 series will also feature a new process called Double Auditions. This will see the contestants performing against the judges in an audition room, similiar to shows such as American Idol, before performing in front of a live audience. While we're excited to see the dynamic between Scherzinger and Osbourne, we're also a little bored with the whole singing show format by now. The introduction of Double Auditions seems like just another gimmick to try and salvage ITV's last remaining viewers. What do you think of the new season? Should X Factor UK give up, or are they onto a good thing? Let us know at the forums!

The Saturdays have released their new video for 'Gentleman', their second single off upcoming album The Chase! The video features the girls as "desperate housewives" in a typical suburban scene, pruning their hedges and watering their bushes (wink wink). Scenes of the women in male drag, their "gentleman" counterparts, are interspersed. Despite the fact that there was clearly effort put into the video, we're pretty disappointed in this particular video. The green screen effects look cheap and not at all 90's (which the song is supposedly referencing). The drag idea was cute but none of the girls (bar possibly Frankie) actually managed to pull it off. What do you think of the video? Let us know at the forums!

A heap of hype and like 1000 snippets later, Beyoncé's 'Grown Woman' has finally leaked to the general public! The long-awaited first single from Bey's next album (rumoured to be called Mrs. Carter), we've been waiting for 'Grown Woman' since it's debut in the Pepsi Live For Now ad campaign which premiered a few months ago. Rumours were abound that Bey would sing the song at her Superbowl performances, but that didn't happen. Since then, there have been about twenty release dates for the song, all of which go by without any sign of the track surfacing According to Timbaland, the song's producer, we'll have to wait for the music video to premiere in order to hear the official version. But for now, we have this leaked version! We're not 100% sold on the validity of this track. You can pretty clearly hear some crowds cheering in the background, which indicates it's fan made - but the vocals are much too crisp and processed sounding for it to be a live recording. What do you think of the track? Is it official or not? Let us know at the forums! Download: Beyoncé - Grown Woman

Britney Spears' brand new single, the long-awaited 'Ooh La La', Britney Spears' brand new single has finally leaked online! The first single from the soundtrack of The Smurfs 2 (in which fellow popstar and Dr. Luke-lover Katy Perry stars), 'Ooh La La''s writing credits reads like a who's-who list of pop music writers and producers today, with Dr. Luke, Bonnie McKee, Lola Blanc, Fransisca Hall and Cirkut all lending a hand to the song. Wow! Personally, we love the song. It's fun and perfect for summer, and the breakdown halfway through is an unexpected twist! However, we are glad that it's not Britney's first single from her own project - we need something mindblowing to open her eighth studio album! What do you think of the song?
