The onslaught of people dissing X Factor judge, Dannii Minogue just never seems to stop.

Last week Louis was calling her a thief to anyone who would listen, even reducing her to tears on Saturdays show and now ex judge Sharon Osbourne has started up her hate Dannii campaign again.

In an interview with The Sun Sharon blasted Dannii for her tears on last weeks X factor saying that she was trying to manipulate the public and that Louis Walsh is now devastated that people perceive him as a bully.

She says: “Louis is genuinely upset because he doesn’t want people to think he is a bully.

X Factor judge, Louis Walsh has told The Daily Star that his pal Sharon Osbourne wil be returning to the show next year, and that Aussie judge Dannii Mingogue will be forced to leave.

Louis told the newspaper that he had no doubts about Sharon’s return, adding: “Obviously Dannii would be the one to go - having Sharon and Cheryl on the show together is too good an opportunity to miss”.

He contined: “The thing about Sharon is she can’t be controlled. At the moment Simon has three judges who, let’s face it, he controls. With Sharon we never knew what she was going to do next - she was just so unpredictable. I really miss her but we speak on the phone at least twice a week.” Read more & comment »

Jack Osbourne has revealed that he believes his mu has the real ‘X Factor’ and that the ITV talent show has suffered since she left earlier this year.

He tells Star magazine: “In my opinion, it has suffered for it.

“At the end of the day, it’s a game show. Everyone gets too serious about it. Read more & comment »

Piers Morgan has revealed that he has a less than tranquil relationship with his two fellow America’s Got Talent judges.

He told Access Hollywood: “There’s a lot of tension backstage between Sharon and I.

“It’s a creative friendship. We’re great friends but we’re great friends in a sort of Don Corleone and Michael Corleone (The Godfather) sense.

“And don’t even get me started with David Hasselhoff and I. That’s a clash with the planet of the egos.”

Former X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne, is rumoured to be writing a fictional book based on her time on the show.

In a book deal rumoured to be worth £3 million, Sharon is set to pen a chick lit book loosely based on her time on reality TV shows.

“Sharon was approached in the spring to publish a work of fiction, loosely based on her dealings with reality TV contests,” a source told The Mirror.

“She wants it to be a Jackie Collins-inspired romp, something shocking, saucy and witty - and a chick lit hit.”

Sharon Osbourne dramatically left the X Factor judging panel earlier this year amid claims of unrealistic pay demands, but sources say that the loud mouthed mum is already regretting her decision.

A friend of Sharon’s told Star magazine: “It has hit her hard. She has been in bits. She thought she was going to be inundated with other offers but it hasn’t happened. It’s especially hard on her as her replacement Cheryl is so young and popular. Sharon’s starting to feel like she might be past it.

Another source added: “There were rumours of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and all sorts, but nothing that great has actually been offered to Sharon. It’s not often she admits she is wrong, but she’s worried she has misjudged her popularity.”

If this is true I think it’s a real shame, as in her heyday Sharon was a great X Factor judge. Read more & comment »

‘It’s just a dream. It’s a very different set,’ said Dannii to The Sun.

‘No more eyes down during commercial breaks trying not to look tense. It wasn’t the sort of environment I wanted to be in.’

A source adds: ‘Dannii is now the show’s senior woman and feels like she won the war.’

Danni claims she is trying to make a big effort with Sharon’s replacement, Cheryl Cole. Read more & comment »

You have to wonder why Sharon Osbourne backed Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Cole as her replacement on this year’s X Factor. Could it be because she genuinely thought Cheryl would be good at the job, or is sadistic Sharon at work again and does she just want to see mouthy Cheryl continue the battle with Danni just where Mrs O left off?

X Factor sources are already predicting tensions between this years female judges:

‘Cheryl is going to stir things up all over again,’ one production source told The Daily Mail. ‘Cheryl is younger and more beautiful than Dannii - and she has a much more successful career in music. Read more & comment »

Primeval star, Douglas Henshall has blasted X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell as “terrible people”, and he doesn’t hold their TV show in high regard either!

Henshall, who plays Nick Cutter in ITV’s Primeval, told The Times: “It [Primeval] is old-fashioned entertainment and, if there is more of that in the world, we might get TV back from the clutches of terrible people like Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. Their shows are one step removed from lions and Christians.”

The three other X Factor judges, ie, the ones that aren’t Simon Cowell are said to be stalling on signing their contracts for this years series, as they are all hoping for a pay rise from ITV.

Last week news emerged that the X Factor would be going all Strictly Come Dancing and having a live Saturday night performance show followed by a results show on Sunday night.

Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue, who are rumoured to have been offered £1.5 million, £800,000 and £500,000 respectively are now holding out for more cash because they will have to work one more night a week.

Cowell also revealed that Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne have both been offered their jobs back, though he admits he has not spoken to Sharon about recent rumours that she is not coming back.

“Sharon is a handful, but she’s what makes the show interesting,” he explained. “If someone doesn’t want to come back then that’s their decision. I’m not going to get into this whole firing thing again after last time.”

He continued:

“Backstage was the real show - my God, yes. Read more & comment »
