And the hits just keep on coming for Rita Ora and for X Factor

I was just perusing the web this morning after hearing Nick Grimshaw from Radio 1 wasn't going to be coming back after this series of The X Factor to see who else might be coming back or if there would be any additions to the judging panel after hearing this news...and I saw that not only is Nick Grimshaw not coming back but  Caroline Flack had also been axed and that it has been suggested that in a bid to shake up next year's series of "The X Factor" Simon Cowell is planning to be giving 1 Direction's Louis Tomlinson a role on tThe judging panel...so it looks like not only are the ratings for the TV show are in turmoil but it looks like the actual show could be in turmoil too and that the suggestion of the show "taking a rest" might be the best option at the moment.

Also I have to say I not only saw news of this on The Mirror's website but more news has come out about Rita Ora's on going lawsuits between her and her label Roc Nation...and then some.

According to The Mirror Rita Ora wants to leave "The X Factor" and according to "a source":

"Rita is one of the hottest properties in entertainment so it is no surprise The Voice producers want her back".

This source goes on to say that:

" X Factor ratings were dismal last year so it is no surprise Rita is keen to walk away..."

  This source continues to say that:

" A return to The Voice is very possible because she loved being a coach last time"

This "source" also reckons that:

" They (the producers) were devastated when she moved to The X Factor last year. But now it looks like she won't be doing the next series, it means they've got a chance of poaching her."

Not only this but you may or may not already know that Rita Ora has lately been fighting it out in the law courts with suing Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label with her team saying that Roc Nation have been holding back songs deliberately from her and giving them to Rihanna instead and that the record label has been promoting Rihanna and over artists on the label more than her, and in a counter lawsuit Roc Nation have sued her for breach of contract saying that she was contractually obliged to deliver five albums and she has only delivered one so far, and they're also suing her for the money plus damages the label has put into marketing and developing this second album which she has failed to deliver so far.

But according to The Mirror's website:

" Jay-Z is said to be happy to release the star from her contract..."

Not only this but also according to this website Rita Ora has had to discard as many as 100 unreleased songs, some of these tracks include ones that were written by Jess Glynne, Charlie XCX and Dianne Warren.

Oh dear it looks like things are going from bad to worse for Rita Ora as you may or may not already know that she has already had to discard one album that was produced by her ex-boyfriend who is also signed to Roc Nation Calvin Harris.

So until these issues can be sorted out Rita Ora will have to continue working on collaborations to keep up her level of exposure if she is to keep her name in the music charts and more importantly to keep her name in the papers and the magazines.
