Alexandra Burke has opened up about her upcoming tour, her first ever, and revealed she has taken inspiration from Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. The X Factor winner goes on the road early next year. The 18-date All Night Long tour kicks off in Glasgow on January 20 and finishes up in Wolverhampton on February 15. The Bad Boys singer announced she was 100% in charge of the look and feel of her live show. "I'm organising everything with this tour, and I really want it to be personal. I want it to be full-on entertainment, so there's gonna be a lot of surprises,” Alexandra promised. "I've never done a tour before, so I'm inspired by watching Michael Jackson's tour This Is It and watching Beyoncé's old tours. It's hard, but I have a great team around me that are really helping me out."

Kendra Wilkinson is a hot siren herself, but can’t stop gushing about her favourites in Hollywood – especially Beyonce Knowles' derriere, which she likes so much that she would like to bite it. The former Playboy Playmate couldn’t stop praising Scarlett Johansson and Beyoncé at Svedka's BartonBotCamp at David Barton Gym, reports The New York Post. Wilkerson said that she loves Johansson's legs and lips because she has sexiness without trying. And she finds Beyoncé's butt so nice that she 'wants to just bite it!' Her own body, however, is reserved for Philadelphia Eagle Hank Baskett and she's nicknamed her legs 'Hank's happy trail.'

Cheryl Cole is buying Simon Cowell teeth whitener for his birthday. The Girls Aloud beauty has joked she will splash out on the beauty product when the music mogul - who is famed for his dazzling teeth - turns 50 next month. Cheryl - who works alongside Simon on the judging panel for British talent show 'The X Factor' - quipped: "I'll buy him some teeth bleach whitener! No, I'm joking, I shall have to think about it." Cheryl also admitted she is a huge fan of Beyonce Knowles and even embarrassed herself when she met the 'Crazy in Love' singer. She added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I'm obsessed with Beyonce. When I met her I turned into an absolute gabbling fool, 'You are what every woman should aspire to be, you are amazing, I love you!' I was so embarrassed."

Pop diva Beyonce Knowles has come out in the aid of X-factor winner Alexandra Burke by letting the upcoming star borrow "her people". The 'Single Ladies' hitmaker has become heavily involved with Alexandra after performing a duet with her on the final of the British reality TV show 'The X Factor'. Alexandra has revealed that Beyonce has been supporting her throughout the recording of her debut album 'Overcome' in the US, Daily Star reported. "She's such a lovely woman and now I'm working with all her people. In the studio in New York I was singing and I opened my eyes and my girl Beyonce was standing there. I went to cuddle her and cried. She said, 'You can't cry, we're friends now.' And I cried some more. I was like, 'You can't tell me things like that. You're Beyonce'," the 21-year-old singer said. Alexandra, however did not reveal whether the former 'Destiny's Child' star will appear on her album, but she hopes to perform with her pretty soon. "I can't confirm anything yet, but I'm hoping to be on the European leg of Beyonce's tour," Alexandra added.

Kelly Clarkson is desperate to silence critics accusing her of “ripping off” Beyonce’s hit Halo - she is reworking the offending song on her live tour. The Since U Been Gone hitmaker claimed songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder sent her the track that became Halo without telling her he’d already offered it to Beyonce. Clarkson later came under fire after Sony Music bosses released her version, Already Gone, as a single - despite her desperate pleas to shelve it. But the American Idol winner is making the best of the situation by altering the arrangement for fans who come to see her on her upcoming tour. She tells MTV.com, “Unfortunately, it comes out where a lot of songs sound similar and, I don’t know, I want to sound a little authentic, so we changed it. It’s a little acoustic, and then it breaks out into this big, beautiful, diva-esque thing.” The 27 year old has since set aside her differences with Tedder: “I have a lot of songs that I’ve done with Ryan, and they all sound very different. It’s just, unfortunately, in that situation, they sound exactly the same. But our melodies are different. Beyonce and my melodies are different (on the songs).”

Pink will never be picture-perfect Beyoncé. When it comes to the two pop stars, Pink claims the difference is black and well, Pink. “The best I can gather is that Australia likes their artists to be rugged and raw and authentic, and America likes their artists to be glamorous and a little more packaged and glossy—like the difference between me and Beyoncé,” the “Sober” singer tells Rolling Stone in the magazine’s September 17 issue. Although she respects Beyoncé, Pink says she lacks the polish of her peer. “She’s beautiful, she’s multitalented, and she lives this jet-set lifestyle,” she explains. “And then there’s me: You would picture me out in a field boxing a kangaroo with makeup running down my face, crying about something that happened a week ago.”

"The Beautiful Life: TBL" star Sara Paxton wasn't amused by Kanye West's stage invasion during Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech. But Paxton does think it was quite gracious of Beyoncé to give Swift a second chance to thank her fans for her Moonman. "I feel bad for Tay Tay Swift," Paxton told MTV News on the red carpet at an Us Weekly party on Wednesday. "Why do I keep calling her that? No, we're not , but I just call her that 'cause I love her so much. She's so cute I want to put her in my pocket. But Beyoncé, what a classy lady. She's classy. What a class act." At the same Us Weekly party, Cobra Starship, who were at the VMAs when the whole incident went down, said that they are still trying to process just what happened that night. "I totally stopped tweeting for about 30 seconds and paid attention," frontman Gabe Saporta said about the incident. "It was kind of surreal. I thought it was planned for a minute." Guitarist Ryland Blackinton, however, was less surprised, since it wasn't the first time Kanye's acted up at an awards show. "I wondered if it was going to happen, because he did it at the Awards too, and I've watched that video a couple times when Justice won the award," he explained. "And I wasn't as surprised, but it was surreal to see it happen right in front of you."

Former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland couldn't help but be proud of the way her former bandmate handled herself on Sunday night at the VMAs. Rowland thinks that it was really "classy" of Beyoncé to invite Taylor Swift onstage with her while accepting her Video of the Year Mooman, after Kanye West interrupted Swift's speech for Best Female Video. "Beyoncé is such a classy, gracious woman," Rowland told UsMagazine.com. "I actually tweeted that, and everybody was like, 'It's so true.' " Rowland went on to say that she though that West's outburst about Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" video deserving the award more than Swift's was "disturbing." "I think that as ... a fellow artist, it's important to know that there is room for everybody," she added. "Kanye is a genius. No one takes that away from him, but be moral and be a person." Beyoncé's dad and manager, Matthew Knowles, also spoke about his daughter's actions at the show. "It wasn't my decision to bring Taylor out," he told UsMagazine.com. "It was all Beyoncé's decision. I want to be clear about that. My job is to execute and come up with some ideas, but ultimately, that was Beyoncé's decision. I can only say it was a proud night for me as a manager, but more importantly as a father." After the show on Sunday, Swift spoke to MTV News about how she felt when West first jumped onstage. Initially, she was "excited" to see him up there with her, she said, but that feeling soon faded. She was grateful to Beyoncé for allowing her another chance to accept her award. "It was just so wonderful and so incredibly classy of her and just gracious and wonderful to let me say something," Swift said. "She's just been my hero and one of my idols ever since I was little. She's a great person." For his part, West has now apologized for his actions twice on his blog and a third time on Monday night's "The Jay Leno Show."

While the whole world is busy cussing Kanye West out, Taylor Swift says she has no ill feelings towards him and refuses to bad mouth him to the press. That's called class Kanye, you can learn a thing or two from a 19 year old. After Kanye rudely interrupted Taylor's acceptance speech for 'Best Female Video' she reportedly walked off stage only to burst into tears backstage. Speaking to reporters after the incident Taylor said, "Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award," she began. "And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn't so excited anymore after that." She added, "I've been getting so many text messages and everybody's been really nice. So I've had a really, really fun night. It's been interesting definitely. It's definitely been an interesting night." Although Kanye ruined her first VMA win, Taylor refused to bad mouth him to the press. "I don't know him, and I've never met him, so..." she said. "I don't want to start anything because I had a great night tonight." Luckily Beyonce gave her another chance to accept her speech, for which she called Beyonce "wonderful and gracious." "They told me to stand by the side of the stage, and I didn't really know what was going to go down," said Taylor. "But I thought it was so wonderful and gracious of her to do what she's always done. "She's always been a great person before anything else. Before the talented artist, the superstar, she's always been a great person and I just, I thought I couldn't love Beyonce more tonight, than tonight."

How in the world do you react when you're sitting down and get a call that Beyoncé wants to take you overseas — and pay you for it? "You say, 'Thank you, Jesus!' " Flo Rida said with a grin Sunday night in New Mexico. He was about to go and perform as part of "New Mexico Takeover 4." The bill also included fellow Miami natives Rick Ross and Pitbull, as well as Busta Rhymes, Bun B and Twista. " a lot of people that's not in the position I'm in. So I don't take it for granted." Flo Rida said he's been tapped to open shows for Beyoncé this week as she makes a run of concerts through Australia. Obviously, he's excited. "I recall going to a couple of her concerts , like, 'Wow! If I could be in that type of venue and atmosphere.' I'll probably be around 50,000 people a night," Flo added. "I'm actually getting a chance to do that on my own now, but to grace a stage with someone so talented and that really loves what she does, it's definitely going to be big for me. I come from nothing, but I'm definitely gaining a whole lot just for the fact that I've dedicated myself to this, sacrificed and put God first."

Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber, 15, is rocking the bubble-gum pop music world of late and with that comes a flock of screaming teenager fans vying for the Canadian's attention, however it's mega music star Beyonce that has caught Bieber's eye, as he reveals the bootylicious singer to be his celebrity crush. Bieber, who was signed by R&B star Usher and shot to fame with his single 'One Time', said in addition to Beyonce, he also liked the look of upcoming actress Elissa Sursara after briefly meeting her in Los Angeles, likes the blonde locks of singer Taylor Swift, as well as having the standard celebrity crush on Megan Fox. However it's Beyonce the teenager croons for most, jokingly claiming that Jay-Z, Beyonce's rapper husband, better "watch out." But just when you think Bieber has a particular thing for considerably older women with Beyonce at 28, Swift, 19, Sursara, 21 and Fox, 23, the heart throb also lists singer Selena Gomez, 17, as one of his favorite starlets. Bieber was discovered via YouTube fame, after posting a video of his entry in a singing competition for various friends and family who were unable to attend the Canadian event. When viewers began subscribing to Bieber’s clips, the youngster decided to post videos, covering songs by Chris Brown and Usher, who eventually signed the 15 year old.

Alexandra Burke has revealed that she stayed in close contact with Beyoncé while recording her debut album in Los Angeles. The X Factor winner, who performed with Beyoncé on the ITV1 show's final last year, admitted that the 'Single Ladies' singer had been supportive about her career. "I've definitely stayed in touch with her. She's absolutely a wonderful woman, just a normal person," she told Radio 1. "When she came in to the studio to visit me and listen to my songs, that for me was just out of this world." She continued: "I was singing a couple of ad libs, my eyes were closed, I opened my eyes and there she was standing there. I was just like, 'How do people do that? It's not right'. "She is very supportive and I'm just very thankful to know that I actually sang with her. It's just really weird to even talk about it. It's weird. It's Beyoncé, man."
