Criss has been upped to a regular, meaning fans will see more of his presence in the show's third season next year.

But the singer/songwriter is adamant he avoids using networking websites himself, because he's convinced they have a negative effect on society. Weller takes aim at Facebook in a song on his latest album "Wake Up the Nation", and he tells NME, "I do think that technology is good for certain things, but I do also think that the a**e end of that is there's just a lot of time wasted, staring at a screen, talking to cyber-friends.

Noel Gallagher is moving on from Oasis by starting work on his first solo album, recruiting The Last Shadow Puppets star Miles Kane as a collaborator for his debut. Gallagher stunned fans when he quit Oasis in August last year following a fight with his singer brother Liam.

The band subsequently split and Liam Gallagher recently returned to the music scene with a new group, Beady Eye, while Noel has now begun to record new material.

In the footage, the emotional pop star can be seen tearing up as she admits she sometimes feels "overwhelmed" by her success. Speaking in I Am... World Tour, she says, "Why did God give me this life?... Sometimes it's overwhelming. Why did God give me my talent, my gift, my family? But I know you're not supposed to question God. Only God knows. And I don't take it for granted."

They can look at the artwork, but they do not wear the clothing."

During the interview, winner Grey revealed that "DWTS" is far more difficult than "Dirty Dancing". She said, "This dance experience was so much more difficult. I learned basically one dance over the course of a pretty long shoot and it was very, very little. This is a different dance every four days, or two dances or, in this case, four dances in four days. It was just a completely different level of dancing - much more complicated and much more challenging."
