‘The X Factor’ notes: Avril Lavigne, Alex & Sierra, and Cheryl Cole

The latest news -Avril Lavigne not going to be “fifth judge” – Could there really be a fifth judge on the new season of “The X Factor“? We have a hard time believing it, and probably for good reason.

For some reason, the British tabloids decided to smell a little blood this week with rumors that Avril Lavigne could be making the leap over to the ITV series for the 11th season of the show, even though four judges seem to be at times more than enough as it is. Luckily, we can confirm for you that the talk of this happening is bogus. As for the fifth judge rumors, we still doubt it, mostly because the show is already into the audition process.

More Alex & Sierra music – Recently, we shared with you the first half of tracks off of the duo’s upcoming album “It’s About Us,” and we’ve got the other half for you right now!

7. Little Do You Know

8. Cheating

9. Just Kids

10. I Love You

11. Broken Fence

12. Back To You

13. All For You

It seems like there’ll be plenty of romantic songs on the album, and we’re stoked that there are 13 songs in total rather than just 10, which seems to be the bare minimum for most LPs these days.

One other bit of news here: If you pre-order the disc today, “Little Do You Know” will be downloaded instantly. Rejoice to that!

Cheryl Cole ties the knot – A tiny update here when it comes to the returning “X Factor” UK judge: She’s married to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. The two have only been together for a few short months, but she confirmed on Instagram with the following message:

“I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14 … We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.”
