Fans furious over X Factor auto-tuning confession
Fans of The X Factor reacted furiously this weekend after the show bosses admitted using a process called "auto-tuning" to improve the quality of contestants' voices. The technology exists to gloss-over any missed or dropped notes, giving the overall performance a polished finish that it may not originally have had. According to The X Factor's production team, auto-tuning is only used during the editing process to ensure a better experience for the viewers. They insist that the judges' decision are based solely on what they hear live in the auditions. Some fans think the contestants are too good to need auto-tuning in the first place, but others are worries that the process will be used to disguise the weaker singing voices of the more popular contestants. Do you have an opinion on all this?

Peter Crouch tried it on with BB's Aisleyne
Ex-Big Brother housemate Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has revealed in a new interview that Peter Crouch tried it on with her while he was on a night out with girlfriend Abbey Clancy. Aisleyne told Reveal that the lanky footballer invited her to sit with him before offering to take her out to dinner or back to his place. When she questioned the fact he had a girlfriend, she claims he admitted it, but added that he wasn't happy. Abbey, who was also at the club on the same night, then stormed over and yelled at Peter before throwing a bottle at his head. Jeeez. We reckon she should have fled at the first sign of his chumpish ways.
