'Don't touch my hair!' Justin Bieber turns into Justin Diva as he screams at TV presenter who dared to go near his head

By KATIE NICHOLL and GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Get off! Justin Bieber yelled at The Talk host Holly Robinson Peete when she tried to out a baseball cap on his head


It's not the first time that he's been accused of acting like a stroppy spoilt teenager.

But this time, Justin Bieber had a diva moment live on TV - and all because someone got too close to his hair.

The teen pop sensation had a precious moment when he appeared on US chat show The Talk last week.

He joined the show's regular hosts Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen and Leah Remini on the sofa for a chat and appeared to have be having a good time.

But when Robinson Peete tried to put a baseball cap on his head, which was branded with the The Talk logo, he shouted: 'No, no, no. Don't touch my hair!'

Robinson Peete went to put the cap on him after he said he would rather have three eyes than wear it and then he tried to re-do his hair once she had given up.

He quickly tried to re-do his hair once the presenter gave up with the baseball hat while he fellow hosts looked on in bemusement.



I don't want to wear it! Bieber puts his hand off to stop Robinson Peete putting on the cap


Later on, the 16-year-old caused chaos by driving a buggy around the set with one source saying: ‘He was out of control.'

It did come as a surprise that Justin would be so worried about his hair after he cut off his famous flick do and auctioned off his locks for charity.

But this isn't the first time that Bieber has acted like a diva, and not just over his hair.

Last May, he allegedly flew into a swear-word tirade on Australian morning chat show Sunrise and told a member of the production team ‘don’t ever f****** touch me again’ when he was told where to perform.

A few days earlier he appeared at Radio 1's Big Weekend and stomped off when host Fearne Cotton asked him about his tattoos.

And at last week's Brit Awards, where he received the gong for Best International Breakthrough Act, he reportedly demanded the best table at the ceremony, access all areas and a private audience with Rihanns.

Yes Lindsay, you CAN have those: Lohan picks up some freebies at an Oscar gifting suite

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Ready for her freebies: Lindsay Lohan stops in at the Kari Feinstein Oscar gifting suite yesterday


You might think Lindsay Lohan would have had her fill of freebies. After all, she is currently in serious legal trouble for allegedly taking a necklace from an upmarket jewellery store.

But her ongoing criminal case seemed to have done little to dent her enthusiasm for a bargain yesterday as she headed to an Oscars gifting suite to load up on the free gifts.

The Mean Girls star stopped in at the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge - a pre-Oscars gifting suite that treats celebrities to free goodies.

Dressed casually in black trousers, black boots and a simple cream jumper, the 24-year-old made her first official public appearance since appearing in court last Wednesday to face charges of felony grand theft.

The event, held at the the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, is one of the biggest celebrity giveaways of the year and routinely draws in a host of A list stars.

They are given all sorts of treates, including wrist watches, shoes and cosmetics.
Others loading up alongside Lindsay included Paris Hilton, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Balthazar Getty and David Arquette.


Family time: The previous day Lindsay spend some quality time with her mother Dina and sister Ali


Lindsay is accused of stealing a $2500 gold and diamond necklace from a store in Venice, California last month.

The star has until her next court date on March 10, to decide if she will take a plea deal which will land her in jail for six months or go to trial and face a jury.

If she chooses the latter and is found guilty she faces up to three years in state prison.

However Lindsay seems relaxed, despite her legal woes, and was spotted enjoying some time with her family on Thursday.

Accompanied by her mother Dina and her sister Ali, Lindsay stopped by her local Whole Foods grocery store to pick up some lunch.

Kate Middleton's sister Pippa and Chelsey Davy among guests at fairytale aristocratic wedding in Harry Potter castle

Glamourous: Kate Middleton's sister Pippa, left, and Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsey Davy, right, were among the guests at the wedding of Lady Katie Percy


Kate Middleton's sister Pippa and Chelsey Davy were among the guests at a fairytale aristocratic wedding in the castle used in the Harry Potter films.

Lady Katie Percy, daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, married City financier Patrick Valentine, followed by a reception at her family's Alnwick Castle, which doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.

She travelled the short distance down Bailiffgate, Alnwick, in Northumberland, from the castle to St Michael's Parish Church in a restored horse-drawn carriage.

Pippa Middleton, who wore a fetching pink and black outfit, was followed by Chelsea Davey, who has been dating Prince Harry.


Happy: Lady Katie Percy, left is the daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, right


Speculation that his brother William, and Kate Middleton - who are friends of Lady Percy - were due to attend meant there were around 20 photographers waiting outside.
But there was no sign of the couple who will marry in nine weeks' time.


Fairytale: Lady Katie wore a beautiful Bruce Oldfield dress and was accompanied by her father in a carriage drawn by two white horses


Lady Katie, a 28-year-old former motorcycle mechanic and gunmaker, wore a beautiful Bruce Oldfield dress and was accompanied by her father in the carriage, which was drawn by two white horses.

Well-wishers who lined the route cheered as she arrived at the church.

Jane Wood, who taught Lady Katie and her siblings at prep school in Alnmouth, said: 'It's lovely to see them all grown up, going their own way and doing their own thing.'


Stand out: Miss Middleton wore a fuchsia fascinator to match her dress while Miss Davy wore a similarly striking blue dress and black feathered fascinator


Picturesque: The reception was held at her family's Alnwick Castle, which doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films


One wedding guest, having a pre-service whisky in the Oddfellows Arms, said the groom had been fishing this morning.

The guest, from Oxfordshire, said: 'He caught two salmon. They might be served at the banquet tonight.'

The cat that got the dream: Nicole Scherzinger says goodbye to the Dolls

By LIZ JONES

'I don't really like the Wag tag because I think it's demeaning. I mean, I'm an independent woman, says Nicole


Having slogged hard to get to the top, former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger is a lot more relaxed on the diet and fitness front these days. But that certainly doesn’t mean her solo ambitions are taking a back seat to F1 beau Lewis Hamilton’s career, as Liz Jones discovers

I have a Pussycat Doll (well, a former Pussycat Doll) in my hotel room. She keeps ordering food, and glasses of white wine, which is something celebrities, especially female celebrities, rarely do. I keep thinking of all the men I could send a text message to who would be driven insane with jealousy that Nicole Scherzinger is perched on the end of my bed.

She is all in black – skin-tight jeans, curvy jacket – and she’s complaining about the cold: London is in the grip of a deep freeze. ‘I live in California!’ she cries. ‘Please can I shut the window?’


Nicole with F1 boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, left, and performing on The X Factor


If there is one woman in the world who can outdo Cheryl Cole in the incredibly, outrageously groomed glamour-puss stakes, it’s 32-year-old Nicole.

When she stood in for Cheryl as a judge on The X Factor, her lashes were longer, her black hair reached that impossibly round posterior, the clothes seemed airbrushed on to her naturally honeyed skin, and her affinity with the contestants bordered on the motherly. She was hilarious, rather than always being on the verge of crocodile tears.

To one clearly hopeless hopeful she said, deadpan, ‘You need to work on your vocals.’ She spotted the potential of eventual runner-up Rebecca Ferguson after about one perfect note. ‘She reminds me a little bit of Billie Holiday, maybe Aretha Franklin meets Etta James,’ she says today. ‘It’s just that really, really, you know, dirty-sounding voice.’


Nicole speaks in that slightly hushed, soft whisper beloved of so many American stars, but the gentle tones belie the fact that she possesses what is clearly an inner core of titanium. I’ve been reading her Tweets, and it seems 17-hour days are routine.

The morning after we meet she says she has to be up at five. When I ask what she is going to do with the one evening she has free in London, she replies, ‘I am going to watch a film in my room and order room service!’

But when I ask how on earth she finds the time to maintain a body like hers – she’s a UK size 8 – she says she has in fact become more relaxed about her body, and is 11lb heavier than in her Pussycat heyday. She used to do that Los Angeles thing of never eating after 7pm, but with me she is tucking into the olives as if there’s no tomorrow, and it’s almost 7.30! ‘I’m a perfectionist, but I have been trying to be a little easier on myself,’ she says.


‘I love my pasta, my chocolate; I cook when I can. I love making down-home Southern cooking, and just chilling and having cakes and pies and baking stuff, you know. I’m a pretty simple girl. I’m eating now with you because I haven’t had time all day. Not a second.’

Cakes? Pies? So does she work out all the time? I read that instead of feeling like a singer, she feels like an Olympic athlete. She shakes her head. ‘I’m taking a break now. For a couple of years, at the end of the Dolls, fitness was my life. I’m a lot more relaxed now. The choreography from the dancing keeps me in shape.

If I ever feel like I need to be stronger in my mind and body then I jog. I’m a runner, I like that. But I love to sleep. I used to not like to sleep but now I love it.’

On the day we meet, she gets the news that her single ‘Poison’ is number one on the UK iTunes chart. Sales were boosted by her live performance on The X Factor. Although she had huge success with the Dolls, you feel Nicole has still to prove herself as a solo artist.

Nicole’s new single ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ will be released on 13 March

Morning after the night before: Vanessa Hudgens goes without make-up after glamorous red carpet premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Fresh faced: Vanessa Hudgens leaves her home in Los Angeles looking slightly more casual than the night before


What a difference a few hours can make.

Vanessa Hudgens emerged this morning looking decidedly low-key after her red carpet appearance for the premiere of her new film Beastly in Hollywood last night.

The 22-year-old actress tried to hide behind her large bag as she dashed to a waiting limo.

Wearing black sweat pants with unlaced black boots and a loose fitting khaki jacket, the High School Musical star had her hair pulled back off her face and no make on.

It was a far cry from her appearance the previous evening when she walked the red carpet for the première of her new film at the Grove in Los Angeles.

The petite star looked stunning and feminine in a flowing floral strapless Julian MacDonald gown which she paired with MEUS jewellery.


Glam girl: Just last night Vanessa looked much more glamorous as she walked the red carpet at the première for her new film Beastly


With her long hair worn down and wavy and with simple but pretty make up, Vanessa looked radiant as she posed for pictures.

The actress has been busy promoting the new film which is released on March 4.
The film is a modern day interpretation of the Disney classic Beauty And The Beast and also stars Alex Pettyfer.

Got something to hide, Katie? Ms Price sparks speculation she's had more surgery done as she covers puffy lips

By JODY THOMPSON

Pout and about: Katie Price was sporting puffy-looking lips as she hit a tanning salon in West Hollywood today


She's made no secret of her love of plastic surgery and her travels to Los Angeles to get it done - and Katie Price was sporting a rather duck-like mouth out in the city earlier today.

The 32-year-old star flew out to California earlier this week with son Harvey and friends Gary Cockerill and Phil Turner ostensibly to go to some Oscars parties at the weekend.

But she hasn't abandoned her rigorous beauty regime and showed off her rather trouty pout as she went to the Sunset Tan tanning salon in West Hollywood.


Bashful: The not-normally-shy Katie had earlier covered her face as she walked through Los Angeles


Katie had apparently earlier dropped off eight-year-old Harvey off at school before arriving at the salon in a grey sweatshirt with a leopard's face on the front and tracksuit bottoms.


Feeling coy? The glamour model seemed almost bashful in front of the waiting cameras as she left the salon


The 32-year-old mother of three and multimillionaire self-made businesswoman also seemed to be sporting some kind of angry red stripe on the skin above her lips which can be a sign of injections of collagen.

According to last week's Now magazine, the mother-of-three was planning on having her regular Botox top up in the States, as well as he six monthly collagen refill in her cheeks and lips.


California girl: The star is said to be in Los Angeles to visit some Oscars parties


They speculated that in a bid to stay young, the star had planned a whole host of other procedures too in a '10 years younger makeover' including a thread facelift, a kneelift and liposuction.

Other magazines have speculated that she's also having a breast reduction to take her down from an E to a D cup.

However, it's highly unlikely she'd contemplate the more invasive procedures abroad while looking after Harvey.

Her other children, five year old Junior and three year old Princess are staying with their father, her first husband Peter Andre.


Trout pout? The star's top lip seem quite pronounced and she appeared to be suffering from some spots too


And it's a (very remote) possibility that the red marks and puffy lips are a result of an allergic reaction from the glue used to stick on her fake moustache last week when she dressed up as Freddie Mercury...

The game-for-a-laugh star was on Let's Dance For Comic Relief last Friday, when she performed Queen's hit I Want To Break Free, dressed as Freddie dragged up as a housewife.

The star was raising money for Comic Relief and also starred in a spoof video of herself in the show, taking the mickey out of her many business ventures.

As previously reported by Mail Online, one of Katie's most honest interviews yet came to light yesterday, in which she said she regretted her nose job, was still having sex with Alex Reid and that ex Andre was still in love with her.

The no-holds-barred chat was in today's ES Magazine, free with tonight's Evening Standard.

Good Lord! David Beckham reveals chest tattoo of Jesus and angels for the first time

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New ink: David Beckaham visited LA tattoo artist Mark Mahoney for his latest piece of body art


David Beckham posted the first pictures of his latest tattoo on Facebook today.

It’s no secret that David is a big fan of body art and Victoria has even joined him with a number of decorative pieces of her own in recent years.

But the 35-year-old latest addition is would look more at home on the ceiling of The Sistine Chapel than on a person’s chest.

The tattoo is of Jesus being lifted by three cherubs, of whom David says symbolise himself and his three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6.

David also posted a video on Facebook explaining why he had the tattoo and what it represents.


Divine inspiration: The new tattoo features a depiction of Jesus being pulled up by three angels


‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot.’

The tattoo is the handy work of one of LA’s biggest tattoo artists, Mark Mahoney, who has worked on a long list of famous names who include Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

David is just another in a long line of celebrities who have only good words to say about Mark. He added: ‘He’s not a tattooist who goes on and does TV programmes. He’s low key and stays out of things and is very talented. ‘

Mahoney works in West Hollywood at the Shamrock Social Club on The Sunset Strip and says he prides himself on making his customer’s experiences as memorable as possible.


Masterpiece: The tattoo took 12 hours in total


‘It’s called the Shamrock Social Club, not the Shamrock anti-social Club. People come here to relax and have a good time. People always remember the night they got tattooed. That’s one of the things you always remember in life, so I wanted to make that as memorable and as nice an experience as it ever could be.’

David first posted a picture of Mahoney working on his new tattoo back in December of last year . He Tweeted: ‘I want to let you all in on something. Just had a new tattoo done by the legendary Mark Mahoney.’

Today he revealed what an amazing experience it was for him. He added: ‘I had it done 3 months ago, before I left LA. I don’t plan on having a tattoo, but just sometimes I wake up with an idea or an image of what I would like on me.

‘It’s my way of expressing the way I’m feeling. Most of my tattoos are memories or things that mean a lot to me.

‘It was an 8-hour session which lasted until about 3 o’clock in the morning. I then went back a few weeks later and we did another 4 hours. It’s really is amazing.’
David's wife Victoria is pregnant with the couple's fourth child.

Emma Watson launches her final collection for People Tree by squeezing into some fairtrade denim hotpants

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Ethical fashion: Emma models her third and final collection for fairtrade label People Tree, which hits stores on February 28 to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight


Style icon Emma Watson has continued to take a stand for ethical fashion by slipping on some fairtrade denim hotpants to launch her third and final collection with People Tree.

The Harry Potter actress has been vocal about her stance on fairtrade clothing for years, which she exhibits by modelling her latest spring/summer collection for the brand.

The 20-year-old not only models and designs for the company, but she also travelled to Bangladesh to see the collection being made by the locals.

Emma said: ‘The design process continued with me trying on each and every piece to get the fits just as I wanted them, and then I visited Bangladesh to see the clothing actually being made and meet the people making it.

‘It was an incredible and life-changing experience. I wish everyone had the chance to see the difference Fairtrade makes.’

Watson’s full spring/summer collaboration with People Tree is being launched to coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight, which starts February 28.

In the photoshoot Emma teamed up her ethical Daisy Dukes with a beige cotton waistcoat and scarf as she posed in a summer field.

Speaking out: Emma says of her trip: 'It was an incredible and life-changing experience. I wish everyone had the chance to see the difference Fairtrade makes'


The collection also boasts her long-sleeved mini-dress, which she showed off next to an old fashioned motorbike.

And Emma also showed off her dresses for the brand, with the range that includes fabrics printed with checks, polka dots and floral designs.

She designed the collection last year while attending university and said: ‘People Tree’s founder, and Misato, People Tree’s designer, came out to work with me in Rhode Island.


Lounging around: Emma posed with her fellow models in the photoshoot for People Tree, after having helped design the collection with the label


‘Together we decided on all the colours, fabrics, shapes and craft skills. Most of all, we took care to design a really wearable collection that truly celebrates the traditional skills of People Tree’s Fairtrade groups around the world.’

Fairtrade Fortnight runs from February 28 to March 13 and was created by the Fairtrade Foundation to invite designers to produce scarves using fairtrade cotton.

Designers who have joined the Collective include Marios Schwab and Hussein Chalayan for Puma, Julie Verhoeven, Tim Soar, David David and Ada Zanditon.



Punk inspired: Emma said she wanted to make the collection very 'wearable' as well as being ethically friendly, so designed a range of dresses while attending university

The Lady in Red: Kate Middleton is all smiles as she returns to the place where fairytale romance with Prince William began

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Happy returns: Couple went back to St Andrews two months before the Royal Wedding


After their eyes first met at St Andrews University almost a decade ago, Prince William and Kate returned to where their fairytale romance began today.

The couple braved the blustery Scottish weather which will be familiar to them from their student days as they launched the university's 600th anniversary celebrations.

Miss Middleton was dressed in a red suit with a black velvet belt and black leather gloves while William was wearing a dark blue suit.

Well-wishers waited patiently against crash barriers in the rain this morning as they tried to get the best view of the Royal couple.

Today the university announced they are creating a scholarship in their honour as a wedding gift which they were presenting to the couple.

The campus had been abuzz since the trip was announced last week.
The 28-year-old Prince and his 29-year-old fiancee, who became engaged in October while on holiday in Kenya, emerged from their Range Rover to be greeted by the Lord Lieutenant of Fife, Margaret Dean.


Radiant: Kate was wearing a dazzling red outfit while William was in a blue suit as they were led round the university by Sir Menzies Campbell


It was the first time the Prince had returned to the university since his graduation six years ago and he spoke movingly during a his short speech about the four years he spent there.

Launching the anniversary celebrations from the university's quadrangle, the ancient heart of the institution where 16th century buildings surround a small grass-covered square, he addressed 600 students and staff who had won their seats by ballot.

As the Prince and Miss Middleton arrived, their way was led by six mace bearers and he was introduced by former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell, the university's Chancellor.

Events marking the milestone will be spread over three years as teaching began at the institution in 1410, chartered status was granted a year later and the university was formally constituted by a series of papal bulls issued by Pope Benedict XIII in 1413.


Knowing glance: Royal couple gaze at each other as they listen to speeches at their university


William said: 'This is a very special moment for Catherine and me, it feels like coming home.

'Despite being one of Europe's leading research institutions, the third-oldest university in the English speaking world, and of course far and away the best university in the world, St Andrews still has that uncanny knack of feeling like home and so it must have done for generations of undergraduates before us.'

Dr John Walden, a senior lecturer in geography who taught the Prince said: 'It's just a fabulous coup for the university to have them back here to promote the 600th anniversary celebrations.'

Recalling William's time as a student, he said: 'He was fabulous. He made life very easy for us. He tried as hard as he could to experience a normal student programme.

'He did a very good job of that. I'm amazed that he managed to stay focused with all the obvious attention. He managed to stay focused for four years and keep his head down and get some work done.'


Relaxed: Kate Middleton flashed a wide smile as she returned to the 600-year-old university today


The special scholarship created in the name of William and Kate has been given as a wedding gift.

It will have a value of up to £70,000 to meet the costs of tuition, if payable, accommodation and living expenses for a four-year undergraduate degree in science, arts, medicine or divinity.

Applicants of all nationalities will be able to apply for the award which will be given annually to a student who would otherwise have been unable to attend St Andrews.

Professor Louise Richardson, the university's principal and vice-chancellor, said: 'This will be the first scholarship of its kind at St Andrews and a reflection of this university's commitment to ensure that we find, attract and support the most gifted students from anywhere in the world.

'It will guarantee that a high quality Scottish higher education can be available to any citizen of the world, that a lack of means need not be a barrier to study, and that bright students who might otherwise have been unable to go to university can fulfil their potential.’

William graduated with a 2:1 in geography from St Andrews in 2005 and Kate got the same classification in history of art.

The Prince and his fiancee began dating while sharing a house in the picturesque seaside town in Fife, and almost 10 years later will wed at Westminster Abbey on April 29 as the world watches.

Hundreds of well-wishers gathered by the steel barriers hoping to catch a glimpse of William and Kate


The official visit was William's first in his role as patron of the 600th Anniversary Appeal, which will have a large focus on generating new funds for scholarships.

Joyce Robertson, 60, a retired nurse, who was waiting patiently with a friend, said: 'I've come to see William and Kate because I love the royal family - I think they will be a wonderful asset to the monarchy.'

Standing a few feet away was postgraduate student Jessica Volz, 24, who is studying for a Phd in English at St Andrews University.


Graduation: Kate Middleton and Prince William as they collected their degrees in June 2005


Royal return: The couple shared a house together as undergraduates before they graduated in June 2005


Miss Volz, from Denver in Colorado, the U.S., said: 'I just live right down the street so its very convenient but I don't mind getting wet.

'I've always been interested in the British history and right now's an interesting time for the monarchy.

'I really do admire William and Kate, especially their strong commitment to supporting charity.'

Yesterday Kate Middleton stepped out on her first official engagement - the launch of a humble inflatable lifeboat in Anglesey.

The bride-to-be, with a dazzling smile, quickly charmed the crowd of more than 1,000 people and bent to speak to the youngest, drawing flattering comparisons with Princess Diana.

As well as her restyled coat, it was Miss Middleton's striking velvet fascinator - with a spray of pheasant feathers - which drew the attention of onlookers yesterday.

It was designed for the 29-year-old by Vivien Sheriff Millinery, a small company based in rural Wiltshire which makes all of its hats by hand.

Is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to wed Jason Statham? Model wears ring on wedding finger

By AMY WEBBER

Engaged?: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows off an elegant gold ring on her left ring finger while out in Beverly Hills


Forget the catwalk, it looks like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley might be planning a walk down the aisle.

The Victoria's Secret Model was wearing a gold ring as she stepped out in Beverly Hills today.

And while it was turned inward to hide any stone, there was no mistaking the implication of putting a ring on her wedding finger.


Keeping it under wraps: Rosie's long sweater hid her ring as she shopped


Rosie, 23, has been dating actor Jason Statham for nearly a year after debuting their relationship last April at the celebrity studded music festival Coachella.

The two took things quickly, with Rosie moving her belongings into 37-year-old Jason's Los Angeles home four months later.

And just last week the couple were seen inspecting the work taking place on a new luxury home in the Hollywood Hills.

Today Jason was absent as Rosie shopped.

Sporting a cream coloured jumper and skinny jeans, the model turned actress tried to keep her hand concealed under the sleeve of her oversized jumper, but her hand peaked out.

Rosie is currently putting the finishing touched to her big screen debut, replacing Meghan Fox as Shia LaBeouf’s love interest in the third instalment of the Transformers franchise.

Lindsay Lohan heads off for lunch with the girls as deadline looms on judge's jail time deal

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lunch run: Lindsay Lohan visited Wholefoods in Venice, California, with her mother Dina and sister Ali after her court appearance


Lindsay Lohan dashed off for lunch with her mother Dina and younger sister Ali after her hearing at a Los Angeles court yesterday.

The Mean Girls star swapped out of her Chanel outfit into comfortable leggings and a cardigan before stopping in for refreshments at her local Wholefoods in Venice, California.

The actress, 24, is now being forced to consider her future after a judge gave her two weeks to decide if she will fight or take a plea deal in a felony grand theft case.

Sources claim Lindsay, who has pleaded not guilty to the charge, believes she is innocent and wants to go to trial, while other insiders say her legal team are encouraging her to accept the deal.

Either decision could send the troubled starlet back behind bars.


Considering her future: Lindsay has to decide by March 10 if she will accept a plea deal that will include jail time


Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz told Lohan he would sentence her to jail if she accepted a plea deal involving the theft of a $2,500 necklace from an upscale jewellery store.

Rejecting the deal would trigger a hearing during which prosecutors would present some of their evidence to another judge.

Schwartz said that judge would sentence Lohan for a probation violation if she determined Lohan should stand trial.

That could mean Lohan is sentenced to jail even before the theft case is tried.

Schwartz has said he thinks the actress violated her probation in a 2007 drunken driving case, and two other judges have warned Lohan she faced a return to jail if she got into trouble again.


Quick change: The actress swapped out of her Chanel outfit into more comfortable attire


That was before police began investigating the Mean Girls star last month after the necklace was reported missing from the store in the Venice area of Los Angeles.

The necklace was given to detectives by an unidentified Lohan associate before police could serve a search warrant.

Prosecutors gave Lohan's attorney Shawn Holley a copy of surveillance video from the jewellery store and police reports in the case.

The potential evidence will now be reviewed by Lohan and Holley, who must decide how to proceed before the actress returns to court on March 10.

Lohan's father, Michael Lohan, agreed with the judge's assessment after the hearing, saying his divorce from his wife had created many of their daughter's problems.

Michael Lohan believes his daughter should fight the theft case.

'I don't see Lindsay as a criminal,' he said. 'This is all a result of her addiction.'

'You've never seen a show like this in America': Simon Cowell does the hard-sell on X Factor USA... and promises winner $5million cash prize

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Serious business: Simon Cowell released a new promotional video today to explain X Factor to the US audience ahead of the first auditions in March


Simon Cowell went on the charm offensive today in a new video to promote and explain X Factor to the American audience.

The mogul talked up the US version of the show, which is already a hit in Britain, ahead of the first round of auditions in March.

Appearing in the three-and-a-half minute clip, the 51-year-old, who left America Idol to focus on his own show, made it clear he is determined for it to be a success.

'I can assure you one thing - you've never seen a show like this in America,' he said in the clip. 'A lot is going to surprise you.'

Dressed in his signature black suit and open white shirt combination, he gave the hard sell on his beloved talent show, describing to the US audience what to expect.

As the clip began, Simon explained how the competition works.

'It's basically a singing competition with a twist, the auditions are open to everybody who can sing... you can be 12, you can be 112!' he said.

'As a platform, as a performer this is going to be a great opportunity for you.'
The clip flashed to performances and auditions of last year's UK version of the show, featuring winner Matt Cardle, and crowd favourite, Cher Lloyd.

In each series, a judge is allocated a category to mentor and chooses a small number of acts to progress to the live finals.

The video featured Simon alongside his assigned boy band, One Direction.
It also contained out-takes of controversial past performers, including the two cousins who punched each other during an audition.

Simon also revealed in which cities of the 50 US states, where auditions will take place.

'If you want to audition we are going to be in the following cities: Miami, New York, Seattle, LA, Dallas, Chicago,' he said.

And unlike the UK version where auditions occur in front of three judges, he explained that in the US version competitors will be forced to perform in front of a mammoth crowd.

'On this show the contestants have to do auditions in front of 3,000 - 4,000 people. If you can come out and nail in in front of 3-4 thousand people, you have the makings of a star,' he said.

'I have always trusted the audience on the live show, so I think it is right that you've got to trust them on the audition process.'

He also warned viewers that judges will no be picking anybody generic.

'You've got to stand out. you've got to be remembered. Dress differently, behave differently, dance differently... just be remembered,' he said.

And he explained that he is hell-bent on finding the next biggest star in America.
'I would love to find someone who could be the star all over the world, and I would love to say we found this person on this show.'


Coming soon: The show is due to kick off this fall in the US


Putting his money where his mouth is, Simon also reminded viewers about the mammoth prize money, which is at a staggering $5 million.

He reminded contenders that it was no paltry sum, and to earn it the contestants must be the best.

'If I am going to come back to America and say, 'I'm serious about this and I am serious about finding talent, then I am going to guarantee the winner of the competition, five million... cash... its a $5m audition and you only get the 5 million if you win and you better be good.'

The US version of the X Factor is due to start in September.
