    ’S truth singing contest.

    Their earnings – revealed in a chapter of Tom Bower’s biography on Cowell – originate the boy-band one of Britain’s most financially successful groups of all time. This figure actually relates how much the five lads have earned themselves, and is split from the £200 million they’ve already netted for Cowell and bosses at Sony. Bower writes, “The songs, publishing, discs, DVDs, merchandising and endorsements brought in giant profits, with the five members of the group together estimated to have earned nearly £100million. Naturally, Sony and Syco raked in much more.” Though stock-outs tours have raked in millions, the majority of One Direction’s earnings come from huge endorsements and merchandising deals with Nokia phones, Pokemon games and Hasbro toys.

    He has been described as a deficit in the labour fete and has apparently on many occasions said that people who challenged him are "intolerable, bigoted

    Its been known for years Brown has a disfavour for the English.......

    And as for hating people disagreeing with him, it's why he called Mrs Duffy a bigot, the man can't handle confrontation and hates to be crooked, never admitting when

    Jan 14, 2008 by Snowie-ball | Posted in Celebrities

    I mark he's good enough, but some don't think so. What do you think?

    well, he is a solid actor,(and singer/musician)
    and also he is really hott, and that factor would be great for a young voldermort, because Jamie is so tantalizing with his looks, and isn't it a great addition to the story is the evil is tempting,
