Simon Cowell believes Jedward is immune to its own lack of talent.

After casting the deciding vote in the tight contest of twin act Jedward and Lucie Jones, Cowell told a radio station Jedward does not know how bad they are.

Speaking on the GMG Radio network, Cowell said: “They are deluded in such a funny way that they’re genuinely not aware how bad they are. They just live in the twins’ world. They think they’re pop stars and everything’s fantastic and they obviously hear something different to the rest of the world.”

The British public has not rallied to Jedward, with The X Factor viewers jamming the ITV network in protest after Jones was booted off in favour of an act many believe is talentless.

Cowell said: “I sit there thinking, ‘I’ve got to get over my personal feelings; I’ve got to find something positive or constructive to say at the end of this performance. And each week they get progressively worse and that’s when I get frustrated.”

Cowell defended his unpopular decision to support Jedward with his swinging vote. “If you allow – which I think is right – the public to determine who wins, you’ve got to go with it. You don’t have to agree with it but you have to go with it.”

Leonardo DiCaprio went on a $1,400 beauty product shopping spree, according to US reports.

The Titanic star snapped up facemasks, moisturisers and anti-wrinkle potions at a Los Angeles store.

The actor, 35, is said to have stunned fellow shoppers with the haul.

His publicist later said the goods were a gift for a pal.

But shopper Bonnie Lockhart, who was also at the Blue Mercury store, told RadarOnline: “Leonardo asked a lot of questions and seemed to be most concerned about wrinkle creams.”

The screen hunk is said to be getting into shape ahead of new action flick Inception, for which he must reportedly shed 30 pounds before filming starts.

A source told the US celebrity website: “Leonardo has gained weight recently and looks almost a bit flabby, which isn’t good, especially as the camera adds pounds.

“There’s an action scene coming up at the end of the year in which he needs to appear emaciated, so the pressure is on.”

The movie source said: “He is following a strict diet and is embarking on a rigorous workout regime.

“Leonardo is a pretty determined kind of guy and when he sets his mind to things he always achieves them.

“Though this is going to be hard for him, you can guarantee he’ll succeed.”

Leo plays Jacob Hastley in the film, about an office worker caught up in a blackmail scandal.

Fergie is featured on the cover of the December 2009 of Cosmopolitan. The 34-year old Black Eyed Peas singer talked about her image and her husband Josh Duhamel, among other things. Regarding her image, Fergie said “You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore. And me? I’m both.” When asked what her actor hubby thought about her weight gain for her role in ‘Nine’, Fergie said “When I came home from filming he was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it’s there and the tight stomach when that’s there…he’s never been critical.”
