Union J

British boyband Union J have dropped Casey Johnson from the group, just over a year after he was drafted in to replace former member George Shelley.

Union J, who were formed on the 2011 edition of ‘The X Factor’, had recruited Johnson back in March last year from another ‘X Factor’ graduate band, Stereo Kicks. However, thirteen months later, the group’s management has decided that Johnson isn’t “right for the band” and he and they have parted ways this week.

British boyband Union J have kicked George Shelley out of the group via e-mail, with the remaining three members citing his lack of commitment since appearing on ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ as the reason.

Shelley, however, has retaliated against his former colleagues, saying that they’ve ejected him because of jealousy at his raised public profile after finishing as runner-up in the ITV reality show in December last year. A spokesperson for the 22 year old said they were “jealous he has achieved the start of an exciting new career and they have not.”

"I want to start 2016 with a clean slate. I don't feel that I should hide anything,” Shelley began. "I went into the jungle and it gave me a lot of time to reflect on what is important to me. And what is important to me is that I should be myself."

It has been recently reported that child-actress turned troubled adult, Lindsay Lohan, is thinking about putting pen to paper and revealing all about her 28-years thus far. While wild parties, speeding tickets, alcohol-related offences and time spent in prison are all relatively interesting if written in an amusing way, it's hard to imagine this autobiography will be anything but an extended version of the numerous articles already published about her struggles with fame.

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to release a tell-all biography

She is, of course, not the only celebrity that has tried their hand at autobiographies as a way of boosting public interest in a somewhat failing fan base. Here are some celebrity books that we’re not sure we want to read.

Louis Walsh will launch his latest pop creation in 2014, with the Irish music mogul announcing his plans to oversee the launch of a new boyband in the new year. Speaking with The Mirror, the x factor judge said that he will be launching a band consisting entirely of new faces, having auditioned thousands of potential stars in the process.

Walsh will hope that his new boyband will be more successful than Union J

"I'm doing a brand new boy band that will be ready to go next year," Walsh told the paper. He continued, "They're going to rehearse for the month of January, see the record companies in February and take it from there. No familiar faces, all new kids that have never been on a talent show or anything. I auditioned a thousand!"

The Union J member also revealed that he once ended a relationship with a girlfriend when he discovered that he was more attracted to her mother. He gave the news rather matter-of-factly, stating: ''I once started fancying my ex-girlfriend's mum more than her.''  But it's not all fun and games for the 'Beautiful Life' singer, as he claims that he is usually the "dumpee".

It seems as though Selena Gomez has a type of man that she is particularly drawn to; teenage male heartthrobs. The Spring Breakers star was spotted out on what looked like a romantic date with Union J member George Shelley last week and certain reports are now stating that the two are an item as Selena is infally ready to move on from Justin Bieber.

Selena and George may be an item already

21-year-old Selena hooked up with George, 20, for a intimate date, before flying him and the rest of his band out to Portugal to open up for her at one of her concerts last Wednesday (11 Sept.). According to The Sun, Selena hosted an after party in her hotel room following the gig, and George reportedly spent the whole night there, staying even when the rest of the party guests had made their way home.

The big prize you get for winning The X Factor has always been an enormous record deal, plus the exposure and immediate fan base created by the show which is meant to ensure instant success. However, as the series have gone on, missing out on being the top of the pile doesn't mean you miss out on the rest of the fun, this year has proven it more than ever as runner up Jahmene Douglas has signed a deal with Sony, and both Union J and Ella Henderson have also been snapped up by the same company, and neither of them even made it to the final week.

Twitter is still the dominant platform for celebs to express their emotions and there's no change for these artists. Jahmene said:

Just announced on @reallorraine that I'm now signed to SONY. God is good :-) thank you all for getting me to where I am ! #muchlove ! xx

The X-Factor has been a bit of a joke this yeah, hasn't it? Rylan Clark, with his monstrous lack of talent and baffling level of ignorance managed to go far; too far, while Christopher Maloney has managed to still be in the running despite having little to no potential to sell records. He's got his Gran to have a go at people like us.  

"Those comments, they might as well say them to me - they're cutting me in two even worse," she explained, according to The Sun. "It's a tactic, I think. It's one way of swaying the votes. It's like bullying. Nobody else on the show gets those comments." She added: "I'm behind Christopher all the way but it's killing me doing it." Granny Pat got pretty annoyed last week when Christopher gave a good performance but still came in for criticism. She said: "I could cry sometimes. Even when they do say he has sung well they criticise something else, like the dancers behind them last week. He didn't pick the dancers." Poor nan, we know how she feels, but the truth is, even though Maloney is trying his hardest; he's easily the least talented act left in the competition, and that's only because Rylan's gone.

This weekend's X-Factor fun sees Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur, Union J and of course, Granny's boy, Christopher Maloney gunning it out for a place in the final.
