Though we just reported the breakup of Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, it seems he is already planning ways to get her back. Flipping through the pages of the National Enquirer I found this article:
There’s a diamond in Taylor Swift’s future – and it’s part of Taylor Lautner’s plan to win her back!
The red-hot country singer ended their two-month romance in December to focus on her career, but the Twilight hunk hopes to persuade her to give him another chance, insiders say.
The two will soon reunite to promote their movie Valentine’s Day.
“He plans to overwhelm Taylor with four dozen red roses, a diamond friendship ring and a romantic dinner date when they’re both in Los Angeles,” a source told The ENQUIRER.
“He whole heartedly believes they have something special and that it’s worth fighting for.”
The 17-year-old wolf-boy captured the heart of bouncy Taylor, a 5-time winner at the American Music Awards, after getting the approval of her mom Andrea.
Agreeing to Andrea’s stringent dating rules, Lautner was the devoted boyfriend – sitting stage-side at two of Swift’s concerts in Chicago, and enjoying multiple dinner dates in L.A.
But then Swift suddenly said “Sayonara” to her hunky heart-throb.
But Lautner made a desperate bid to salvage their relationship when he jetted into Swift’s Tennessee hometown on Dec. 13 as a 20th birthday surprise.
But with a world tour keeping her busy through June, Swift “wants to channel her energy into her career,” divulged the insider.
“But Lautner isn’t accepting her rejection. The way he sees it, this is nothing more than a minor setback in an enduring love affair.”
Do you want them back together?
It’s official! Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol after this season. But don’t worry, he’s not leaving television all together! Simon is planning to bring The X Factor, a singing competition popular in the UK, to America! He may also bring Paula on to help him join. According to People:
How Is The X Factor Different From American Idol?
Both The X Factor and American Idol hold public auditions and air highlights of the good and bad performances. In last year’s X Factor, though, the auditions were held before a live audience. One key difference between the shows is that The X Factor accepts groups and duos in the competition; the show also takes contestants age 16 and over with no upper limit, while American Idol caps the age at 28.
“I don’t like rules,” Cowell said. “A lot of people over the years like to audition for Idol but were too old. I listened to that. Susan Boyle is the reason why I like to do shows without age. Without a show like [Britain's Got Talent], she would never have landed a recording contract and that’s what these shows can do … That’s why record labels are out of touch. It’s supposed to be David versus Goliath. That’s what I like about the format. Right now, who has the biggest X-factor in the world? Lady Gaga. [I would] love to find someone like that.”
Hollywood Round vs. Boot Camp: On American Idol, contestants who get a “golden ticket” to Hollywood then sing in groups or solos with some assistance from a vocal coach to further impress the judges, who then whittle them down to a top 24. The public then votes after watching the 24 perform and eventually settle on a top 12.
On The X Factor, the contestants who survive the first auditions are divided into groups and handed over to the judges, who then become their mentors. They are taken to different houses to study and train with their respective judge. After a few more cuts, boot camp ends with 12 acts ready to compete for the votes from viewers at home.
While both shows reward the victor with a recording contract and monetary prize based on a public vote, the judging along the way for The X Factor takes on a personal bent because the judges have worked so closely with the contestants and will defend their charges.
