The Britain’s Got Talent panel has been split and it’s making things very awkward for the hopeful acts.
Those who have attended the London auditions all week in London’s Hammersmith Apollo, have remarked on the fact that Simon Cowell seems so obsessed with Baywatch babe and guest judge Carmen Electra, that he barely notices anything or anyone else and she in turn, just agrees with everything he says.
The pair have spent the week stroking and flirting with one another and at one point, the American actress even gave the TV boss a bit of a lap dance in front of the 2,000 strong audience.

The biggest step in any new relationship always is introducing your lover to your parents. It shows you are committed to one another and are moving your partnership to the next level.
So it comes as no surprise that last night David Walliams introduced his new best friend to his beloved mother.

Simon Cowell and Mezhgan Hussainy in 2011
Simon Cowell certainly does make sure he gets the best treatment when he’s working on Britain’s Got Talent and never before have we seen a man whose makeup needs touched up, quite as often as the vain music mogul.
It was reported in The Sun today, that the X Factor boss has a special strip light placed under the judges’ table but only at his end, so that when the auditions are televised, he will have a healthier glow and clearer complexion than his fellow judges. Journalist Richard White also passed a comment on how stunningly beautiful Cowell’s makeup artist Julia is and how very attentive she is to the star, running up between almost every audition to powder his nose.

Simon Cowell has admitted that both Katy Perry and Madonna would be on the list of his dream judges for his American X Factor series.
The music mogul fired Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger from the judging panel of the show last week and is currently on the lookout for two stars who can replace the female singers.
Many names have been in the frame for the role and speaking to his ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour on Extra yesterday, Cowell addressed a few of the rumours.

Yesterday we told you how the BGT London auditions had started in a strange mood on Monday. Well yesterday things got even stranger.
The auditions started even later then usual as all the judges were late and we were freezing! A tired looking David Walliams told a fan he had a headache, after complaining to her that her screams hurt his ears. Despite his discomfort he still greeted as many frozen BGT fans as possible and did the same in the auditorium. One fan asked him if he would do “Ann” from Little Britain, to which he replied that he would for a pound. Much to his surprise the fan paid up. Neither he nor Alesha Dixon should have worried too much about being late, as they still arrived long before Simon Cowell got there. Guest judge Carmen Electra arrived after them to utter silence.

Simon Cowell was reportedly incredibly impressed with at least one Britain’s Got Talent audition this week.
The music mogul was getting a little fed up with all the silliness in Hammersmith’s London Apollo insiders have told Unreality TV, that is until Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli took to the stage.

David Walliams and Simon Cowell certainly have become bosom buddies over the last lot of weeks.
The Little Britain star joined the music mogul on the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel last month and ever since an interesting relationship has struck up between the pair.

Caroline Watsham probably harbored dreams that her Britain’s Got Talent audition would lead to fame and fortune, when she tried out for the celebrity judges last month. However it seems she may have to wait a bit longer, before taking to the spotlight.
The mum of two took to the stage in Cardiff and attempted to wow Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams with saw playing.

The Britain’s Got Talent auditions have been going very well this year….until yesterday that was. Let’s just say that a lot happened on the first day of the London tryouts.
The first surprise for me was obviously the new guest judge. Of all the people that were expected, Carmen Electra certainly wasn’t and I have to admit that her arrival yesterday afternoon shocked more than a few of the waiting crowd.
On arriving David Walliams got an incredible crowd reaction, however his American counterpart certainly didn’t go down as well with the audience. Some took to Twitter to remark that they “think Carmen needs to take a chill pill” or labelling her as “bland” and boring. Others said she “needs to get a sense of humour.” And one then put the knife in saying: “Don’t think anyone liked Carmen Electra being a judge!” Carmen was undetered, telling reporters: “I kinda fancy Simon. He’s cute and I love his sarcasm.”

Simon Cowell may be in hot water yet again, after The Gambling Commission decided to launch an investigation into his ITV gameshow Red Or Black.
It has been reported that the gambling watchdog is concerned that the series – which aired on ITV1 last summer – may have glamorized betting by making it look ‘easy’ to win.
The series ran for seven nights and on each episode, one lucky contestant had the chance to walk away with a whopping £1 million, all based on a game of roulette. In the end, the show made four millionaires in a week and questions have now been raised about whether the premise of the format, would encourage vulnerable people to turn to betting, in a bid to solve their money worries.
