It would appear that the BBC and ITV are in competition over a forthcoming performance by singer-songwriter Beyonce Knowles. The singer who also goes under the name of Sasha Fierce, her alter ego, is reportedly booked to appear on both channels in November and December; this month (November 2008) she was scheduled to appear on an episode of Strictly Come Dancing, and will appear next month on the hit ITV television show The X Factor.
Indeed, according to website Ananova, a source for The X Factor has confirmed that they "aren't happy Beyonce is doing Strictly, but she is just one of a number of huge names we're getting". But surely, the fact that X Factor is getting hold of Beyonce in the first place is one of many tremendous gifts given to the programme's thousands of adoring fans! They're also reportedly getting hold of Britney Spears and Mariah Carey.
But who is this Sasha Fierce that Beyonce talks about? The singer-songwriter has reportedly explained that she's Beyonce's more aggressive, sensual and glamorous side. If that's the case, Sasha is certainly one of the singer's many gifts to the world of showbiz.
But, back in the world of the X Factor, it has been reported that singer and X Factor judge Dannii Minogue has been attacked by Noel Gallagher of Oasis for not having talent; apparently she wouldn't know about talent even if it kicked her somewhere. Surely though, that cannot be the case, especially as she's had a successful singing career prior to appearing on the hit ITV show.
But lets consider for a moment the possibility that Noel Gallagher has a point; The X Factor judge would then be in need of a little cheering up? If this is indeed the case, then there are a whole host of gifts out there that could boost the spirits of any pop diva whose career is or has taken a nosedive. Not that anything of the sort is being suggested in the case of Kylie's sister.
For the ultimate in morale-boosting gifts, a Heath Spa Experience Day could be a fantastic choice. Usually featuring a total of two treatments, the day represents the opportunity to indulge in anything from a manicure, a facial, or even a shoulder massage. After the treatments, it's even possible to make use of a number of different facilities, including a gym, a sauna and even a pool.
Following the theme of much-deserved pampering gifts, a Deluxe Hydrotherapy Treatment could also be a fantastic way to relax and unwind. Taking a total of 15-minutes, the Hydrotherapy treatment is a prelude to a thoroughly relaxing body, scalp and face massage, which all combine to give the body many of the relaxing and invigorating gifts they truly deserve.
Alternatively, why not give the Chocoholics Pizza a try. Available in three different flavour combinations, they make amazing gifts for anyone who's feeling a little bit rejected. After all, if Jelly Bean Jumble, or Heavenly Honeycomb can't make someone feel better, what else can?
And in other X Factor news, there have been reports by celebrity-spotting publication Now that singer Amy Winehouse has been so impressed with X Factor contestant Eoghan Quigg that she gave him a call to offer a little bit of advice. But it could well be the case that the star, who is as well-known for her performances off-stage as she is for her singing, could be in need of a little advice of her own. According to Now magazine, she has transformed herself from being a "busty brunette" to a "scrawny scrap".
If this is indeed the case, Ms Winehouse could herself be in need of a few new wellbeing-orientated gifts of her own. For example, the Learn It - Wellbeing Gift Box could be worth a try, especially as it leads to a nationally recognised level-2 NVQ qualification. Among the topics covered in the course are those relating to the immune system, not to mention the idea of living in harmony. After all, we should always make sure we look after our health.
