Question: How can you keep your X Factor judge's seat, and advise contestants on how to make it in the music business, when your own debut album sells an embarrassing 7,000 copies in the first two days of release?
It's a question Tulisa may have to answer if sales of 'The Female Boss' don't pick up miraculously before the 'X Factor' final this weekend. The Sun reports that the judge's album is limping along in the chart at an embarrassing number 17.
Tulisa can tell her contestants 'Do as I say, not as I do'

Reunion on the cards, perchance?
