Diana Vickers: 'I'll stay at number one'

Diana Vickers has told the News of the World that she is happy she didn’t win the X Factor in 2008.

Since being eliminated from the semi-final of the reality TV series, the solo star has achieved a number 1# single and is about to release her debut album ‘Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree.

Diana, who reached the semi final, said: ‘I'm so grateful I didn't win. I think the originality is stripped away from those who do make it.’

The star added: Between then and now, I've been given time to grow, do The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, which I'd never been able to do had I won.’

Meanwhile, the 18-year-old has revealed she remains confident of winning the singles chart for a second week running.

However, acknowledged Rangers FC fans who are campaigning for 'The Best' by Tina Turner to reach the top spot - after it made the top ten on Sunday.

She told the Daily Record: ‘Good luck to them but I am so pleased to be number one. I hadn't heard about their Facebook group. I genuinely wish them luck but hopefully I'll stay at number one. It has been overwhelming.’

The singer said of her victory: "Just to get into the top ten would have been amazing. The fact that I am number one is a relief as I was so nervous."

Ray-Ban sunglasses collection - Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer

Notice a lot of people out there wearing trendy Ray-Ban sunglasses? Us too. Among them is one of the UK's hottest stars. Not only does Diana Vickers wear the Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer, but the designer ensemble to match.

The wayfarer is one of the best Ray-Ban sunglasses. Like several other of Ray-Ban’s most iconic models, it symbolises an era when vintage fashion was at its peak. Its nineteen fifties styling and smooth contours are utterly chic. Wayfarer has been a massive success and has blown the fashion world away, thus it has established itself as a classic whose days are un-limited; a sunglass seen perched on pop's most influential teenager; a sign of status in the universe of fashion; and a dreamier symbol of aspiration for those who cannot afford its luxury price tag.

Greedy GaGa

Lady GaGa has sparked fury among fans after doubling ticket prices to her Monster Ball shows.

Tickets for her May and June UK gigs cost £50 to £75, yet tickets to her recent Monster Ball shows cost between £27.50 and £35.

Complaints have been pouring in.

‘It's disgusting. We made both albums number one and this is how she repays us.' one fan, Mannisrai, said on her website.

‘This is steep.’ another fan, Barley 142007, added.

The rise in ticket prices comes after the Telephone singer won International Female Solo Artist, International Album and International Breakthrough at the 2010 BRIT Awards last month.

Concert promoter Live Nation says that the tour has been upgraded to a ‘first-rate arena production’ and defended the ‘fair and comparable’ prices.

The 22-year-old is said to have lost £2million staging a recent US tour and paid £52,000 for a giant bathtub for her X Factor spot last December, reports The Sun. The newspaper also quotes her as saying ‘I've gone bankrupt about four times. My manager wants to shoot me.’

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Interscope Records has told MTV that the singer is planning to release her Monster Ball tour to DVD in 3D.

‘There are talks about a 3D concert and DVD in the near future,’ said the spokesperson, but without revealing any visual details.
