...Mr Waterman, who was a judge on Cowell's previous show Pop Idol, said he has never watched the X Factor and vowed not appear on a talent show again. ... [continue]

An article about Pete Waterman (Indipendent, 2002)
How, though, has Pete – who's been responsible for more than 200 hits over the years – stayed at the top for so long? It's something that quite perplexes me until we get on to one of his favourite hobbies, fishing. (His other is steam trains, of which he owns several.) I ask if he's one of those fishermen who throws the catch back. He says he is. I say I've never understood that. I say, isn't it like going shopping, finding exactly what you want, and then not buying it?
"To me fishing is about the prowess of being able to catch a fish," he says. "It's about taking on nature, it's about being able to out-fool a fish, which is a wily animal at the best of times. It's not as people think. It takes skill. Your fly or maggot has to be there naturally. Yeah, you can chuck a worm in and catch a fish, but that's luck. It's about going out to catch the fish you want with the right bait." [continue]

Kylie Minogue for UK Elle May 2009
About plastic surgery:
I’m definitely not one of those people who says, “You shouldn’t do this…”’ she begins. ‘Everyone individually can do what they want. I also think it doesn’t have the stigma that it had when I was growing up. Then it was like this…

Together Forever by Richard Burnett
..Samantha Fox and Astley are best remembered as bubblegum chart-toppers from London's Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) assembly line that gave us such acts as Bananarama and Dead Or Alive. But neither Fox nor Astley have fond memories of the production trio.
"I think they'd like to think of themselves as [Motown's] Holland-Dozier-Holland," Astley quips. "They had the same ethos, the same ideas, but they just didn't have the artists."
Says Fox, "At the beginning I was a bit miffed because they didn't get rock songs. SAW have no guitars, no guitar solos. Then I did pop songs. I did I Always Wanna Be With You but it was cheesy. Working for SAW was like working in a factory." ... [continue]
