Michael Jackson To Appear On X Factor?

According to The Sun, Michael Jackson has agreed to make a guest appearance on The X Factor.

Apparently the singer will give advice to contestants and comment on their performance.

An insider said, "We've got some huge names but Michael Jackson really is a sensational signing. He is a truly global, worldwide superstar. And this will be his first TV appearance in Britain since the Martin Bashir interview. Given his background with ITV, it's even more astonishing that he agreed to do it."

Jackson has not appeared on UK television since he was interviewed by Martin Bashir for ITV1 documentary Living With Michael Jackson, which aired in 2003. The film was one factor which led to Jackson's trial for child molestation in 2005.

Girls Aloud, Celine Dion, Rihanna, Kylie, Shayne Ward, Leona Lewis, Westlife and Mariah Carey will also be making appearances according to the report.

Why Celine Dion Avoids The Red Carpet

Celine Dion has insisted that she will never set foot on a red carpet again because she is getting sick of being asked about her clothes.

The Canadian singer has previously been slammed by critics for her outfit choices, especially after the 1999 Oscars when she turned up in a white Dior suit.

Dion revealed that she has never fully recovered from the fashion industry's backlash and now avoids such events where she has to answer questions about clothes at all costs.

She told W magazine, "I just want to do music and perform for people who want to see me performing."

"I don't want people to say to me, 'Are those diamonds yours? Did you borrow them?' I can pay for my own diamonds, and I don't need to wear the necklace of the year.”
