Nicole Scherzinger: It’s just not fare

Fury as X Factor get her economy flight

Vex Factor ... Nicole Scherzinger was furious after first-class snub at Heathrow

FURIOUS Nicole Scherzinger was forced to fork out thousands of pounds for a first-class plane ticket — after X Factor bosses booked her into economy. 

The singer, 34, was refused a free upgrade by British Airways for her flight from Heathrow to LA.
So she reluctantly paid £3,500 out of her own money to switch from her £1,200 seat.
An insider said: “Nicole was fuming.
“She always flies first-class but she was amazed to find that she had been booked into economy.
“The X Factor books all of her flights — but she hadn’t expected this.
“Nicole spent 20 minutes trying to get BA to upgrade her but in the end she had to put her hand in her pocket.

'Tightwad' ... Simon Cowell

“There were a few mutterings about Simon Cowell being a tightwad.” The former Pussycat Doll, who is dating F1’s Lewis Hamilton, 27, had a tough week before Saturday’s Heathrow incident.
The new X Factor judge broke down at the show’s bootcamp stage in Liverpool.
Her tears came after it was revealed Lewis partied until 5.30am in a posh London hotel with a group of girls he met clubbing.
Nicole is reported to have “torn strips” off him when he grovelled down the phone.

Mystery as Michael Jackson's mum goes ‘missing’ for a week

Star son ... Katherine and Michael Jackson in 2005

MICHAEL Jackson’s mother was reported missing to police yesterday — as a family feud escalated over his multi-billion dollar will. 

Katherine, 82, has not been seen by her grandchildren for more than a week.
She has been the guardian of Jacko’s kids — Prince Michael, 15, Paris, 14, and ten-year-old Prince Michael 2 — since the Thriller star, 50, died of a drugs overdose in 2009.
Paris appealed on Twitter: “My grandmother is missing. I haven’t spoken with her in a week. I want her home now. If anybody sees my grandmother, please call the authorities.”
Katherine’s nephew Trent filed a missing person report with LA County Sheriff’s Office. Her lawyer Sandra Ribera said her client never goes 24 hours without speaking to the children, with whom she lives in Calabasas, LA.

Concerned ... granddaughter Paris Jackson

She said: “The kids were trying to get hold of their grandmother. They are told she’s unavailable.
“I’m concerned that she’s not safe.”
But last night son Jermaine, 57, tweeted that Katherine was “fine” and resting in Arizona with daughter Rebbie, 62, “on the orders of a doctor.”
The mystery comes days after five of her kids — Rebbie, Janet, Jermaine, Tito and Randy — wrote to executors of Jacko’s estate, claiming the signature of his will is “fake, flawed and fraudulent”, and calling on them to step down.
They say the superstar’s lawyers lied to get Katherine to increase their share of the income from his estate.
They also claim the stress caused Katherine to suffer a mini-stroke.

Mario accuses Sam of cheating on Joey

TOWIE row-ie ... Sam, Lucy, Joey and Mario in bust-up

THE claws came out in last night’s TOWIE episode when Mario Falcone accused Sam Faiers of cheating on her fella Joey Essex. 

Last time we saw Sam on the show she told her sister Billie she wasn’t sure Lucy’s boyfriend, former ladies’ man Mario, could be trusted.
But last night the boot was on the other foot as Mario got his revenge during his and Lucy Mecklenburgh’s engagement bash.
Sam hadn’t been invited to the party but was waiting outside with Joey for Arg and Gemma – who they had had dinner with and wanted to show their faces at the do.
Lucy and Mario came down to invite the snubbed couple into the party – but a row soon flared up when Sam said that there was “proof” that Mario had been flirting and messaging other girls.
Bride-to-be Lucy said: “That was three months ago, why would you bring that up?” and raged that Sam was “completely ruining” the party.
Mario then piped up, telling Joey and Sam that he had heard plenty of rumours about THEM.
He sniped at Joey: “I heard things about you in Ibiza,” before turning to Sam and saying: “and I heard things about you in Vegas.”
Mario also claimed to have seen snaps of Sam during a night out at Essex nightclub Faces – but she raged: “You are chatting s***”.

'Posh and Becks' ... Arg compared his missus Gemma to Vanessa Feltz

Earlier she and Joey had dinner with Gemma Collins and Arg – who fell out when Arg compared his missus to Vanessa Feltz.
Gemma fumed: “Vanessa Feltz is out of order – she’s not even funny” before breaking down in tears.
She added that she thought she and Arg were the "new Posh and Becks".
Also in the show, Lydia Bright opened up to best pal Lucy about her new relationship with Tom Kilbey, saying: “He is so amazing. He is just romantic and puts thought into everything.
“He is literally perfect and I love him. He is so beautiful.”

 

Suri’s soggy Holmes-coming

Wet weekend ... Katie Holmes and Suri in New York

KATIE Holmes and Suri get caught in the rain as they’re reunited in New York

The six-year-old was returned to mum after a brief beach break with dad Tom Cruise at the Hamptons.
And she had to swap her flip-flops for wellies as the heavens opened in the Big Apple.
At first the little girl looked unprepared, huddling under Katie’s big black umbrella in the flimsy summer footwear.
But she was determined to keep her precious dolly warm and dry, wrapping her in a blanket and clutching her to her chest.
After a quick stop off, Suri was kitted out in more suitable wet weather wear – and sporting her own pink umbrella with ballet dancers.
It was the perfect match for her bright pink skirt, printed t-shirt and pink cardigan.

Making a splash ... Suri in flip flops with Katie

She also swapped her doll for a stuffed cat as she headed out for a meal at Pastis to celebrate her return to New York.
Actress Katie left the Mission Impossible star last month, and immediately filed for divorce.
The pair have already thrashed out an agreement over their £175 million estate and the shared custody of Suri.
After spending time with his daughter this week, the 50-year-old actor flew into London yesterday to film further scenes for his sci-fi movie, Oblivion.

Wellie good ... Katie and Suri

Meanwhile Connor Cruise tweeted a picture of his extreme new style.
Tom’s 17-year-old son was sporting a Mohican with a leaf-like design shaved into his head in the picture, which he captioned, “Chopped.”

Ade wages war

MONEY TALKS ... Emmanuel Adebayor

TOTTENHAM target Emmanuel Adebayor is threatening to see out the remainder of his contract at Manchester City. 

The striker, 28, is unhappy at being asked to take a £3million-a-year pay cut to join Spurs.
A close pal confirmed: “Manu is digging his heels in and I don’t think this is going to be sorted any time soon.
“He’s the sort of guy who will see out his contract rather than cave in.”
The two clubs agreed a £6m deal last week but Adebayor, who last played for City in December 2010, is stalling on the move because of the huge gulf in wages.
City paid Arsenal £25m for Adebayor in 2009 and he still has two years left on his £175,000-a-week contract at the Etihad.
Spurs’ offer of a four-year deal comes nowhere near so Adebayor, who scored 18 goals on loan at White Hart lane last season, is holding out for a sizeable increase from the Londoners or a big pay-off from City.
