The X Factor wrapped up filming on its auditions yesterday, and you know what that means - the show's even closer to being back! And boy, what a treat we're in for if these previous auditions are anything to go by.
The audition stages always throw up some weird and wonderful acts, so we've collected just 13 of the best (and most bonkers) that remind us why we're so excited about The X Factor's return...
1. George Gerasimou (and Dermot telling him off)
Where do we even start? This is one of our favourite auditions ever. It starts off on a positive note as George explains that he has grown up since his awful try-out with Triple Trouble - but then as soon as Gary calls an early stop to the music, George kicks off big time, snarling all the while, and his mate joins him on stage to back him up.

Jake Quickenden has been confirmed to be entering the jungle in ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Just four weeks ago, Jake was singing as a finalist in The X Factor before being the fifth act to be eliminated from the competition.
This got us thinking. This must be the quick(enden)est time that an X Factor finalist has found themselves on a different reality TV show so far - but which other acts traded series after attempting to secure a contract with Syco? Here they all are in order of time taken to do so.
1. Jake Quickenden (4 weeks)
Series: 2014
Finished: 12th
After reaching the Judges' Houses in 2012, Quickenden made it to the final 16 this year. He tried desperately to prove that he wasn't just a pretty face with a ripped physique, but it hasn't taken him long to get his kit off for his pre-I'm a Celebrity photoshoot.

When director Mark Waters gave us the high school satire Mean Girls in 2004, he probably didn’t expect that nearly every line of dialogue in Tina Fey‘s script would be immortalized in GIFs, memes, and everyday conversation for the next decade. Where does one start when choosing the ever-fetch Lindsay Lohan film’s finest attribute? Could it be “queen bee” Regina George’s (Rachel McAdams) fearsome reign over the popular Plastics clique? What about impish outsider Janis (Lizzy Caplan) and her best friend Damian (Daniel Franzese), a polo-wearing cynic who is deemed “too gay to function”? What of Amy Poehler‘s turn as a vapid, fabulously tracksuited “cool mom”? Or the shrill, worried bleat of Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert)? All are acceptable answers.
Now, Waters — who also helmed The Spiderwick Chronicles, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, and the Lohan-starred remake of Freaky Friday – is pairing up with another cutting writer...

We all know the X Factor is a well-oiled money machine, so it comes as no surprise that the show will release a celebratory Greatest Hits collection to get us buying all of those songs we probably already own.
And it got us thinking: wouldn't it be better value for money to have some songs on the collection that we probably don't already own?
The X Factor has produced some forgotten gems and stellar novelty tracks over the years, so we've listed 10 of the best that didn't make the final tracklist below.
Chico: 'It's Chico Time'
Long before Lucy Spraggan and Ella Henderson wowed audiences with their songwriting efforts, we had Chico and his wristwatch. The track shot straight to number one to become one of the UK's finest novelty blow-outs, so we're a bit miffed it didn't make the compilation. Bonus track, maybe?

Director James Wan has assembled a fantastic core cast for "The Conjuring," not filled with movie stars but with Class-a character actors like Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as The Warrens. Their counterparts are Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor as the heads of the large Perron family, who move into a farmhouse in Rhode Island that's haunted up the ass.
Of these four leads perhaps the most physically/emotionally challenging role went to Lili Taylor as Carolyn Perron, who begins to disintegrate under the stress of ghostly bombardment. Taylor's career spans decades, from early roles in "Say Anything…" and "Mystic Pizza" to ensemble pieces like "Short Cuts" and "Public Enemies." We sat down 1-on-1 with the actress for a lively chat about possessing Republicans, being underrated and throwing 1999's "The Haunting" under the bus.

Los Angeles, June 25: Actor Channing Tatum says his actress-wife Jenna Dewan Tatum is extremely tired after the birth of their daughter Everly and he is doing everything to help her with the new-born.
"Jenna's tired. Those first few months, it's just ridiculous, just taxing. All I can really do is just sit there and change diapers... and get them food. Whatever they want," Et Canada quoted Channing as saying.
Though the couple are struggling after the birth of their first baby, Channing admitted they could have another child very soon, joking they may be planning "Irish twins", where two children are born to the same mother.

Jedward have claimed that they "singlehandedly recreated" The X Factor during their stint on the show in 2009. The Irish twins argued that prior to their audition the Simon Cowell series had been "all about the voice" and shied away from promoting contestants with entertainment value. "The year me and John were on The X Factor it was all about the voice and everyone was like, 'Oh it's all about the singing'," Edward Grimes told Lorraine. "Now they want to find stars. They want to find people who are different." His brother John (more)...

It was always going to be difficult, from the moment that Engelbert Humperdinck�s position in the draw meant he had to sing first of 26 acts. From the challenging pole position, he acquitted himself impeccably. In the end, however, his song Love Will Set You Free failed to fire, with the veteran crooner coming second last. For a long time, it looked like he wouldn�t be getting off the duck, but finished with a respectable� 12 points, second only to the usual nul-pointed Norway at the bottom of the table.
Humperdinck, who was wearing a lucky necklace given to him by Elvis Presley, had said after his performance: "I had a great time, a very wonderful time. I hope everyone listening to the song... we shared the song with every generation. I sang it from my heart."

Jedward, Amy Childs and Paddy Doherty could cost the bookies five-figure sums, if any of the trio triumph in Thursday night's Celebrity Big Brother final. The housemates, alongside Darryn Lyons, Bobby Sabel, Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount, are all competing to win Channel 5's first series of the programme. Irish twins Jedward, who have been heavily backed to triumph throughout, are currently 8/13 favourites. William Hill claims that their success could cost it over £20,000. The bookmaker also revealed that it is growing "increasingly nervous" about Paddy Doherty and Amy Childs's chances of winning on Thursday. "Amy was well-backed at the start of the show, but given the fact that she spends more time looking in the mirror than actually engaging with the other housemates, we are not too worried about her winning," (more)...

Jedward have asked their fans to support former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.
The Irish twins – who shot to fame on the 2009 series of the show – feel like people have ‘ditched’ the former Girls Aloud singer since she was sacked from the American version of the singing show and have pleaded with people to ‘embrace’ her once more.
They told The Belfast Telegraph:
“I think everybody needs to embrace Cheryl Cole again and realise how cool she. I feel some people have ditched her.”
And the boys think they would be the perfect addition to Louis Walsh’s judges houses team and in response to claims that they will be assisting the star when he chooses his final contestant for the love show, Edward added:

Jedward have provided a real treat for their fans on this grey and rainy Friday morning.
The Irish twins took to their Twitter page to post a picture of the artwork for their new single ‘Bad Behaviour.
On it the former X Factor contestants can be seen looking suave in black and grey suits and sporting their normal pointy quiff. We particularly love John’s (or is it Edward’s?) Posh Spice style pout!
The boys have recently finished recording their second album, which the track has been taken from.
The music video for the new release was shot on the 10th June and a select few fans got to appear in it, after the boys asked their followers to email in pictures of themselves to a casting agency. It has been reported that the music video will have a house party theme.

Jedward have reportedly been invited to perform for President Barack Obama during his first visit to Ireland tomorrow.
The Irish twins, who shot to fame on the X Factor last year, are thought to be planning to sing their Eurovision entry ‘Lipstick’ at a concert in College Green, Dublin.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: “Jedward are one of Ireland’s biggest exports at the moment. At first the White House was dubious about letting a novelty act like Jedward perform for the President. But in the end John and Edward won them over, like they seem to do with everyone.
“They are also expected to have a quick meet and greet with Obama after the performance, which is crazy. Two years ago X Factor judge Simon Cowell branded them the worst act he had ever seen. Now they could be shaking the hand of the President of the United States of America.
