The Canadian superstar’s popularity has grown even further in the UK following his stunning performance and sincere mentoring on last week’s X-Factor, leading to a Google search frenzy for info on his new album, tour dates, and relationship status!

Well, we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to; here are the FIVE most important Michael Buble facts you need to know:

1)      Is he single? Is he gay?

No and no – cue the sound of girls’ and boys’ hearts breaking all around the world. Buble has been dating Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato for nearly a year since meeting her at one of his concerts, and the gay rumours stemmed from one of their first nights out together. Michael said: “I don’t speak Spanish and she had no English. But we were out and one of her guy friends spoke English so I just spoke to him. I was a bit nervous because of how beautiful she was. I later found out she was on the phone to her mother the whole time saying, ‘Bublé’s gay. He’s hitting on my friend!’.”

2)      He’s coming to the UK but how do I get tickets?

Well, the safest and most secure way of securing your tickets – and also cutting out waiting queues and typical ‘sold out’ responses – is to go through Viagogo who have been appointed the Official Premium Ticketing Partner for Live Nation on Michael Bublé’s UK Tour. It’s not often that Michael performs in Britain so don’t miss this opportunity to see the master at work!

3)      How old is he and what did he do before singing?

Bublé was born on September 9, 1975 in Burnaby, Canada to parents Lewis and Amber. Yes, despite looking sickeningly like he’s in his late 20s, he’s actually 34-years-young. His father was a salmon fisherman and Michael worked alongside him for six years, doing shifts which could last from 4.30am to 11pm! He developed his passion for music while listening to tapes of classic hits made by his Italian grandfather when he was out on the boat.

4)      So how did he get his big break?

Aged 18, Michael entered a local talent contest, which he won. However, as he was underage (the limit was 19) he had to give the trophy back! Boooo. Undeterred, he went on to enter the Canadian Youth Talent Search instead, which he won as well, but this time he got to keep his prize.

5)      His wealth derives primarily from his stunning voice…

but Bublé has also raked in the cash behind the camera as well as behind the mic. He’s made numerous cameo roles as an actor and famously appeared on the big screen in Totally Blonde and Duets. He’s also turned up in TV shows Death Game and cult classic The X-Files in 1996.

The Good Charlotte rocker – who has two children, 21-month-old Harlow and six-week old Sparrow with the reality star- has denied reports that the couple wed in a secret ceremony.

He said on his band’s website, “I keep getting emails from old friends and family asking about a wedding. NO we didn’t get married.”

It was reported last week that the pair had secretly tied the knot in an intimate service after obtaining a marriage licence.

And the speculation started when Nicole and Joel registered Sparrow’s birth.

Nicole, 28, has previously said she was keen to wed rocker Joel, 30, following the death of her ex-fiance, DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, in August.

Meanwhile, she has spoken of her joy at adding to her family and say’s she has never been so content.

Nicole said, “I couldn’t be happier. The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I am right where I belong.”

Friends close to the 28-year-old singer are concerned about his crumbling relationship with Jessica and are putting pressure on him to work through their problems.

A source said, “Justin’s friends are usually all about anything he wants, but in this case, his boys are totally disappointed in him. They think he is making a big mistake. Justin and and Jessica have their problems, but all in all, his friends think she is one of the best things that ever happened to him.”

Justin has been relying on many of his friends to go to nightclubs with him when his relationship hit a rocky patch, however they have not been so keen on the idea.

The source added to FOX 411 blog, “They really thought he got past all of that. But it is all beginning all over again. They think if they don’t give in he may come to his senses and sort out his relationship. That is what they really want to see happen.”

Earlier this month, it was claimed that Justin was ‘re-evaluating’ his two-and-a-half year romance.

So far neither Justin or 27-year-old Jessica have commented on the break-up claims.

The glamour model, a.k.a Jordan, who divorce from Peter Andre will be soon finalised, made the allegation on a UK TV chat show, however Pete and his agent Claire Powell have vowed to take legal action over her comments.

Speaking on ‘The Graham Norton Show,’ Katie claimed men are ‘lazy’ and would sleep with anyone, adding, “Yes. Or his manager Claire.”

Claire, who also managed Katie before her split from Peter, is furious about the allegation.

She said, “She is just nasty. That is totally b******s. She is using him to get publicity. We will definitely take it further.”

Lawyers for the BBC programme insisted Katie’s comments were removed from the show, which airs in the UK tonight. (19.10.09)

In the candid interview, 31-year-old Katie also claims Peter, 36, refuses to speak to her on the phone without “hurling abuse.”

She also insists their three-and-a-half-year marriage was doomed, and wishes it had ended years ago.

She explained, “I was trying to keep it going and I still got all the stick and he walked out.”

Katie-who has two children with Peter-went on to speak about her new relationship with cage-fighter Alex Reid.

Alex has revealed he likes to cross dress and has an alter-ego called ‘Roxanne.’ Katie admits she has seen him dressed as a woman and has even helped him apply make-up.

She said, “The outfit changes, the make-up, hair, the lot. And I boss him about. Before Alex met me, he hadn’t dressed up for a year. And when he told me, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I have got to dress you up.’

“So I dress him-the wigs, eyelashes, everything. And at first he was like, ‘This is a bit weird, I am not used to a girl doing me up.’ Call me strange, call me weird, whatever-but I love it.

“I have never been with anyone so adventurous. Anything goes with him. I am having such a fun time.”

The ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer has spoken out following recent reports that Pete got into an argument with Katie’s new boyfriend Alex Reid, claiming he only lost his cool as he was refused access to the three children he raises with the glamour model.

Explaining his anger that Alex posted details of the conversation on Facebook, Peter said, “What really annoys me is when something private happens, withing a minute, it is out there. The bottom line is, for five days I was not allowed to speak to my kids.”

Referring to Alex as ‘this man’ Peter then explained the details of the phone conversation.

He told UK daytime TV show This Morning, “Anyone close to me knows that I couldn’t speak to them and then on Tuesday night (13.10.09) I got on the phone saying, ‘I want to speak to my kids. I was handed the phone to this man who said ‘he’s the man of the house now’ and he refused to allow me to speak to my children.

“Now, I am not perfect, I am human, I am a father and I don’t know any father that would not react to some man saying ‘no, you are not speaking to them’ and I lost my temper. I admit it.”

Peter accused Alex of playing a ‘ridiculous game’ by barring him from talking to Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two year old Princess Tiaamii.

He explained, ”I am tired of it, I just want to move on in every sense of the word. The kids are my life, I don’t care about anything else but them-I have that a million times, and everyone knows the only way to push my buttons is not to let me speak to my kids or see them and that is what’s been happening.”

It had been claimed that Peter rang Katie’s mobile to speak to the children, but she asked Alex to answer the call.

As Alex began shouting at Peter, the singer replied, “Look mate, there is a lot of people who want to break your legs.”

In response Kate has spoken out about Pete’s claims insisting that Peter’s version of the events are untrue.

She wrote on her Twitter page, “People got it wrong AGAIN, peter said IM GONNA BREAK YOUR F***ING LEGS watch your back >>nice pete in front of kids!

“I called him too speak to kids being nice…his true colours are starting to come out thank god !!

“Alex is calm a real gentle guy stop believing what you read and realise that pete is not the sweet guy that he always portrays (sic).”

Former American Idol judge Paula is feeling ‘disturbed’ after the 50 year-old music mogul repeatedly expressed his devotion.

She told FOX news, “I have talked to Simon. He misses me, and I know it. I talk to him a lot-he says he loves me and that is really disturbing me.”

Paula left the talent US TV talent show earlier this year after eight whole seasons judging the contestants. However, the former judge is struggling to come to terms with leaving the show.

The singer and choreographer, said, “I feel tremendously blessed to have made history with that show. I feel like I was a mamma-bear to cubs and I was there to protect them. I will miss that but I will be rooting on everyone.”

Paula has also denied recent reports that rivalry between her and fellow judge Kara DioGuardi is high, insisting they are so close and used to live together.

She explained, “I literally discovered Kara and believed in her. She lived with me and we became the best roommates, we never fought.”

Medical professionals in Majorca will examine the late Boyzone’s singer’s body tomorrow, three days after he died suddenly at the holiday home he shared with his partner Andy Cowles in Port d’Andratx.

The examination was delayed for 24 hours due to a public holiday in Spain today.

The 33-year-old singer’s body-which is being kepy at the Hospital Anatomico Forense de Palma-was discovered in a crouched ‘praying’ position by Andy on Saturday lunch time (10.10.09), after the pair had enjoyed a night out at a local gay club.

The family has been told the most likely scenario is Stephen had a bit too much to drink, vomited in his sleep and choked. It was a terrible accident. Another source added,

“It is believed the pop star died after choking on his vomit.”

A family friend said, “The family has been told the most likely scenario is Stephen had a bit too much to drink, vomited in his sleep and choked. It was a terrible accident.”

A family friend said: “The family has been told the most likely scenario is Stephen had a bit too much to drink, vomited in his sleep and choked. It was a terrible accident.”

Another sourced added, “Andy said he screamed, ‘Wake up! Wake up!’ at him. He also tried mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

“But doctors later confirmed Stephen’s lungs had filled with fluid. There was nothing Andy could have done. He had drowned and asphyxiated.”

Spanish police are not treating the former Boyzone stars death as suspicious and Stephen’s family lawyer Gerald Keane has called his death a tragic accident.

Gately’s partner, Andy Cowles is said to be devastated by his death and completely blames himself for the tragic accient. “I will never forgive myself for this. He died and I couldn’t help him. I feel like my life is over,” he is said to have told the fellow Boyzone band members, according to the Daily Mirror.

A close friend also told the newspaper, “They kept telling Andy that he shouldn’t blame himself-but he just kept crying his eyes out.

“The guy is in a deep state of shock and he hasn’t slept for a minute since this tragedy unfolded. He is a total mess and everyone is worried about him.”

The friend added, “The told him that there is nothing he could have done at that he has to stop blaming himself.”

Dame Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Taylor is to undergo heart surgery.

The Oscar-winning actress will be admitted to an undisclosed Los Angeles hospital to have an operation on a leaky heart valve and has asked her legions of fans to pray for.

She wrote on her Twitter web page,  “Dear friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart.

She wrote on her Twitter webpage: “Dear friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart.

“It is very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better.

“Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I will let you know when it is all over. Love you, Elizabeth.”

The 77-year-old star-who was left devastated by the death of her close friend Michael Jackson in June-suffers from a number of ailments and is regularly seen being pushed in a wheelchair.

In May 2008, Elizabeth was taken to a Los Angeles clinic, which her publicist has described as a routine check-up.

Following her release, she wrote on her Twitter page, “Home from the hospital and feeling great.”

Katie Price

The glamour model-whose divorce from the pop star will be finalised this month- is furious he has written a song about seven-year-old Harvey, entitled ‘Unconditional’ as she doesn’t think it represents the truth.

Price- a.k.a Jordan – let off her steam in Heat magazine, saying, “He only chose to see him two nights every two weeks and that is not unconditional love.”

Pter, 36, took on Harvey-who realy dad is soccer star Dwight Yorke- when he and Katie, first got together and has always regarded him as his own son.

Katie and Peter went on to have two children, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii, before splitting in May this year.

Katie-who is now dating cage fighter Alex Reid- also revealed Pete has changed his mobile number so she can no longer contact him.

Katie, 31, said, “Pete told me two days ago that he is changing his number so I can never contact him again. He has got a phone for the kids, si when I have got the kids, he phones on that. When he has got the kids, I have to phone it too. Which I think is stupid of him because if the kids even have an accident, I have no one else to call.”

Kevin McGee, 32, a television producer, updated his Facebook status to “Kevin thinks death is better than life,” then hours later hung himself.

His friends became increasingly worried about his message and called police who arrived at his home to find McGee dead.

Matt Lucas, who is said to be devasted by the death, has pulled out of his lead role in a London play, ‘Prick Up Your Ears’ until further notice.

Luca’s part will now be played by understudy Michael Chadwick.

‘Found Dead’

A statement from the police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.

“(We) were called to an address in Bruntsfield Gardens, Edinburgh, at around 8am yesterday morning, (05.10.09) where a 32-year-old-man was found dead.

“There are no suspicious circumstances, and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”

McGee’s former employer, London Production Company, Carbon Media, said, “Kevin McGee remained very close to the company’s heart.”

A spokesperson said it extended “deepest condolences to his family and friends.”

Lucas and McGee met before the major television success of BBC comedy series Little Britain.

In December 2006, the pair married in a lavish pantomime themed ceremony, but Lucas was granted a dissolution in October 2008 on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour by his partner.

Reports revealed that Lucas could not deal with his partners heavy drug taking.
