The star - who previously announced she was stepping down from her role as a coach because the next series will clash with touring commitments - is said to be open to negotiations as bosses look to convince her to stay.

Rita Ora snubbed X Factor to save music career


Rita Ora snubbed 'The X Factor' because she was worried she couldn't balance it with her music career.
The singer didn't think she would be able to commit to both the show and her life as a pop star enough to either of them justice, so made the decision to reject the offer this time round.
She told Capital FM: "I would have loved to have done it. I'm such a fan of the show but if I did that, then i can't do this.
"I didn't want to do an album and do promo and go on tour and have that responsibility at the same time."
However, Rita has insisted the would be happy to explore the possibility further down the line.
She added: "I said I would love to do it when the time is right, so basically a few albums on."
It was previously reported that the star had been offered a £1 million deal to appear as a judge on the show.
A source recently said: "Rita was formally offered the 'X Factor' job and was very flattered, but turned it down.
"She is out in LA at the moment, having meetings, making contacts and working hard in the studio."

Theo James’ brothers watched raunchy shoot


Theo James' brothers watched him film his sex scene with Shailene Woodley.
The hunky British actor - who is the youngest of five, with two brothers and two sisters - said his male siblings weren't quite prepared for what awaited them when they flew in to see him as he was completing work on 'Divergent'.
He told People magazine: "My sex scene with Shai was the last of the whole shoot, and my brothers had flown in for a trip to [Las] Vegas. Since filming was delayed, they literally walked off the plane and onto the set to see my getting funky. It was surreal.
"I got made fun of for months."
The 29-year-old star - who is dating Irish actress Ruth Kearney - has previously joked about how he kept making Shailene "practise" their kisses.
He has said: "I made her practise the kissing scene as much as possible. I'd say, 'Listen, tonight after dinner, can we just go over it again?' "

Scarlett Johansson doesn’t feel like a sex symbol


Scarlett Johansson doesn't feel "sensual".
The 'Captain America: The Winter Solider' actress has opened up about her status as a sex symbol, insisting she doesn't feel more in touch with her "sexuality" than anyone else.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper's Notebook magazine: "I mean, I am only aware of it because I am reminded of it when people ask me questions like that, or I see a list of sexy people.
"But in normal life, I don't think I am any more aware of my femininity or sexuality than any other woman, I don't walk around feeling sensual.
"I think it's probably a reaction to the fact that I'm curvy and confident about it."
Despite her reputation as a Hollywood beauty, the 29-year-old star insisted she has moments where she is uncomfortable with her body.
She admitted: "Of course. I'm a girl. Aren't we all like that when we wake up every day and go, 'Oh God. What changed as I slept?' "
However, over the years Scarlett has got to know herself "better", and feels like she is maturing.
She said: "I'm more comfortable with myself. I know myself better. And I think I'm more patient.
"I was in my teens just 10 years ago, so it's a big transition. I feel like ... I'm stepping into my adulthood now."

Katy Perry wants ‘slime green’ hair


Katy Perry wants "slime green" coloured hair.
The 'Roar' singer - who is known for her jet black locks, but has also dyed it pink, electric blue, purple and red over the years - hinted it might be time for a change and suggested something a bit different.
She told E! News: "I've wanted to go slime green for a long time. It's spring time and I think it's time to freshen up my look ... I'm really excited about slime green, but I hope my hair doesn't fall out."
While Katy might be debating a change in style, it also seems she could be ready to move on after her split from John Mayer.
The 29-year-old singer broke up with the star last month, and it has been reported she recently went on a date with rapper Riff Raff after she posted a picture of her striking a pose with him on Instagram.
She captioned it with: "TBT to when I went on a date with Riff Raff aka @jodyhighroller."
Despite being a "throw back Thursday", it appears to only have been referring to a few days earlier since Riff Raff first shared the picture, writing on the social media site: "ON A DATE WITH KATY PERRY SHE IS PURDY (sic)".
Meanwhile, in a video posted by TMZ on Wednesday (26.03.14), the heavily tattooed 32-year-old star declared he would love to see the pop princess again.
He coyly said: "Who knows where things might go. Just got to see where things lead."

Black Sabbath to headline Hyde Park festival


Black Sabbath will headline Barclaycard British Summer Time at Hyde Park this summer.
The iconic hard rockers will perform at Hyde Park on July 7 as they take to the stage for the first time since six-date arena tour in December 2013.
Frontman Ozzy Osbourne - who will be joined by original members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler - has joked he hopes "that the Royals will enjoy it".
He said: "The first time I came to London I didn't have a pot to piss in. I spent the advance I got for our first album on a new pair of shoes and some Brut aftershave.
"We're doing a bit better for ourselves, so I may even splash out on some new aftershave before Hyde Park, the most beautiful park in London, which has opened its gates to so many legends in the past.
"We are beyond honoured to be allowed to put on a show and hope that the Royals will enjoy it."
To mark the announcement, the 'Paranoid' group's logo was marked out in Hyde Park and set on fire.
Other bands on the bill include Soundgarden, Faith No More, Motorhead and Soulfly.

Kings of Leon make raunchy endorsement offer


Kings of Leon want to endorse lubricant.
The US rockers are always surprised they were never asked to lend their single 'Sex on Fire' to a commercial for STD treatments, and though they "think" they would say no if asked, they would give more consideration to an appropriate sex aid.
Caleb Followill said: "A lot of people have wondered when it [an STD ad] was going to happen, but it hasn't happened yet. You would think we'd say no, but no one's asked..."
Jared Followill added: "Maybe someone should do an intense KY gel. Like a warming lube. That would work."
In 2008, the 'Bucket' hitmakers headlined the famous Glastonbury festival and while they were nervous because of the huge scale of the show, Nathan Followill admits he felt anxious after learning two members of girl group All Saints would be watching.
He said: "There was a girl group back then called ll Saints and I fancied two of them. Our manager said, 'A couple of girls from All Saints are going to be side of stage tonight.' I was so nervous, 'What if it's the two I liked?' "
However, Nathan had nothing to fear as he had misunderstood the message, much to his disappointment.
He added to Q magazine: "It was actually girls from All Saints clothing shop! I was giving it all, rocking out, thinking the girls from All Saints are watching, but it was actually the girls from the shop."

She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Of course he'll get over it, you learn to live with it."
Meanwhile, it is said the iconic rock 'n' roll star is devastated after the fashion designer took her own life and he is removing all reminders of her from the home they shared.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper, a source said: "Mick is so distraught and he is just having any little keepsakes removed. He can't bear seeing her clothes or the photos of them together.
"He feels so let down by her and really believes there must be something he could have done to help her. He is devastated and really struggling to cope."
L'Wren's sister Jan Shane has also recently thanked Mick for "sharing" her ashes with her family.
She said: "I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, Mick's kind gesture of sharing the ashes.

Meanwhile, the pair were spotted having dinner with friends just days after announcing their split.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, an insider said: "You would never have guessed they had just split up. They looked like they were getting on OK, but perhaps it was a little strained.

Kylie Minogue isn’t ‘naturally committed’


Kylie Minogue struggles with "commitment".
The 'I Should Be So Lucky' singer - who broke up with her boyfriend of five years, Andres Velencoso, last year - has admitted she doesn't like the idea of "being boxed into anything", preferring to have her freedom.
She is quoted in The Sun on Sunday newspaper as saying: "I am not the greatest with commitment.
"I don't like being boxed into anything - thoughts, clothes, being told what you are meant to do. I'm not the most naturally committed person."
Kylie revealed she broke off her romance with Andres after having an "epiphany".
She explained: "I had a true epiphany. I had a vision of a horizon with nothing on it.
"Our lives never have nothing on the horizon, there is always something you are looking forward to or dreading, but there was nothing there.
"I felt very calm and knew in that moment that I needed a new landscape."
Kylie also admitted she still finds it tough to talk about breast cancer - after getting the disease in 2005 and then undergoing successful treatment - and described it as "the complete unknown".
Speaking on Norwegian TV, she said: "I find it difficult. I can't talk about it for fives minutes and then it is done.
"It's a huge experience that does go on ... You don't want to have that experience but your life is richer because your body has gone through terror.
"I'd never experienced that - the complete unknown."

Jasmine Waltz says Lee Ryan is a "100 per cent screw up".
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' star has claimed she dumped the Blue singer - who she had a fling with after they met on the reality TV show - because it was "emotionally draining".

The 31-year-old actress claimed Lee "needs to get help", insisting he has delusions about his band's success.
She added: "Lee genuinely thinks Blue are Number 1 in the charts, are as big as One Direction and he has the appeal of Harry Styles.
"He cannot accept his career is going nowhere. It is tearing him apart and he needs to get help."
However, Jasmine suggested that "deep down" he is more honest with himself.
She said: "Deep down he knows his career is pretty much over and he is lashing out.
"Blue know it is over. They want to keep touring, but have no label."

Michelle Collins opens up on suicide attempt


Michelle Collins tried to kill herself after being "tipped over the edge" by personal and professional problems.
The soap star - who had quit 'EastEnders' in 1998 and split from partner Fabrizio Tassalini - "felt like a failure" and took an overdose of pills as she plunged into depression.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I felt like I'd been tipped over the edge.
