Is it just a coincidence that Simon Cowell can’t seem to attract or keep judges for his reality shows lately? I don’t think so!
After months of trying to replace Destiny’s Child singer, Kelly Rowland, on the X Factor since she left the show last year, Cowell has been linked to several names with regards to the fourth and vacant judging seat on the popular singing show, with no appointment being made, resulting in the audition stages being started with a string of guest judges, some of which have been questionable at best.
And who would wonder why, given that the career expectancy of a judge on one of his shows is approximately 1 series, or week in Cheryl Cole’s case, with the likes of Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Cole all sacked during or by the end of their first series in the hot seat in the X Factor USA.
But now, it would seem, that he has more to worry about than just the empty X Factor seat, which was even turned down by former judge, Dannii Minogue after details of her affair with the reality puppeteer were highlighted in his unofficial tell-all biography, Sweet Revenge: The intimate life of Simon Cowell, penned by Tom Bower, as Britain’s Got Talent Judge, Alesha Dixon, is reportedly throwing a bit of a wobbly too!

According to The Sun newspaper Scherzinger, who was sacked as a judge from the US version of the X Factor at the end of last series after replacing Cheryl Cole who was sensationally sacked after a few weeks in the job, is to be presented with a contract from the bosses behind the hugely popular talent show after she impressed them so much as a stand in judge at last weeks London auditions.

According to The Sun newspaper, pint-sized Kylie has come out and publicly blasted Simon Cowell, claiming that the details revealed in his tell-all biography, Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life Of Simon Cowell, by Tom Bower, have really hurt her sister Dannii.

Simon Cowell has revealed how his biggest career motivation is getting his own back on his enemies, and lets face it, it is obviously working as the music mogul has managed to resurrect his status, which was as low as bankrupt at one point, to the multi million pound puppet master of reality TV and the manufactured music industry.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4′s Today programme, in a eye-opening interview due to air tomorrow, Cowell revealed that what has spurred him on more than anything over the years was down to revenge and a desire to get his own back on his enemies.

As you’re probably aware, last week, The Sun ran a serialization of Tom Bower’s controversial biography, Sweet Revenge – The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell, which exposed all manner of tawdry secrets about the X Factor boss.
However, in response to Simon and his PR man Max Clifford claiming that Bower’s book is unauthorized and that Simon had did not collaborate with him in writing it, Bower has claimed that in fact, Simon cooperated fully and was well aware of what was going into the biography.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Bower said that Simon first approached him after learning he was writing the book.
