Graham Norton has revealed that he was shocked when X Factor judge, Sharon Osbourne, launched an attack on fellow judge, Dannii Minogue while on his chat show.
Graham told The Sun: “I was just amazed.
“I called Sharon up afterwards and said, ‘Are you alright?’ Believe it or not, we actually had to edit quite a bit out!”
X Factor winner Leona Lewis appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, singing Bleeding Love yesterday and blew the whole audience away.
Afterwards, Oprah announced: “A star is born!”
Leona’s single ‘Bleeding Love’ is currently number one in the US ITunes chart and is also the Billboard chart’s fastest sales gainer, guaranteeing her a place in the top 20 in the singles chart!
Is it just me, or does everyone else feel like they are a little bit invested in Leona Lewis? After all, it was us who voted for her to win X factor 2006. It is just fab to see her doing so well and not sinking into obscurity like so many other X factor ’stars!
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has admitted that he has installed a telescope in his LA mansion so that he can spy on his rich and famous mansion.
Simon was inspired by the iconic seventies movie ‘10’, where Dudley Moore’s character did exactly the same thing.
He told The Mirror, “I saw that Dudley Moore film and it was great. Afterwards, I got a telescope installed in my kitchen so I can spy on people.
“I look out over the Hollywood Hills into my neighbours’ gardens. It’s an amazing view. It isn’t powerful enough to see into their homes - so you can’t see them in the shower - but you can see into their gardens.
“It’s great fun. I just like to keep an eye on what is happening.”
X Factor judge, Simon Cowell has revealed that he was mightily insulted to be asked to be the face of a new viagra advertising campaign.
Cowell told Glamour magazine: “Last year my agent rang me and said ‘You’ve been offered an incredibly big (£1 million) deal. It’s to be the face of Viagra’.
“And I just said ‘Sorry, but that has to be a f****** insult’.”
Maybe Terri’s been kissing and telling!
Dannii Minogue has been given a substantial pay rise for another year on ITV’s X Factor, Simon Cowell confirmed.
“Dannii will get a pay rise this time,” Cowell told The Mirror. “They usually do after the second series - plus she deserves it.”
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. Continue reading ‘X Factor: Dannii Minogue Gets Pay Rise‘ »
In a recent interview with Orange, former X Factor runner up Andy Abraham has defended this years winner Leon Jackson.
Many have claimed that the TV talent show has lost credibilty after Leon’s shock win, but Andy hit back saying:
“Leon was chosen by the popular vote, so how could that be lacking in credibility? Like Pop Idol before it, X Factor is a great opportunity for those with talent to be heard.”
“Leon is very young and will need support from those who have been given the chance to look after him. Not all winners will be to everyone’s taste but I truly believe that Leon has a great future ahead of him.”
Andy Abraham has been selected by the British public to represent the UK at the 53rd annual Eurovision Song Contest in Serbia this year.
Andy and Michelle Gayle went head-to-head in the final sing off in Eurovision – Your Decision – the UK entry selection programme on BBC One tonight (Saturday 1 March 2008).
But it was Andy who was victorious with his song Even If.
Andy said: “I’m freaked out! What can I say – the public have voted me in and I’m over the moon. They believe like I did that Even If is a song for the masses. The UK audience have once again been behind me.
“I’m seriously hoping and I will try my best to them proud out in Serbia because it is about the song. I really hope people in Europe give the song a chance.” Continue reading ‘Andy Abraham To Compete In Eurovision Song Contest!‘ »
My son’s nursery school class was recording a cd today and one of the songs they had to learn was ‘I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing’.
So I was browsing YouTube this afternoon, letting him listen to different versions of the song that became famous from 1970’s Coke ads, and happened to come across this clip for X Factor Battle Of The Stars.
I had completley forgotten how terrible Gillian McKeith was, how much I detest Rebecca Loos and how funny the celebrity chefs were.
It makes me wonder why they had to cancel the show?
X Factor judge Dannii Minogue has finally spoken out about rumours of a feud between her and fellow judge, Dannii Minogue.
She revealed to The Sun: “I have had my ups and downs with her.
“While she was busy talking about why I shouldn’t be there and bad-mouthing me, I just got on with the job and kept silent
“I think it was very embarrassing for her when two out of three of my artists ended up getting the No1 and No2 slots. Continue reading ‘X Factor: Danni Minogue Speaks Out About Sharon Osbourne Feud‘ »
Simply Red singer, Mick Hucknall has hit out today at reality TV shows like X Factor and accused them of ruining the UK music industry.
I read this and laughed, knowing that this was simply another attempt by Hucknall to make the headlines, raise his profile and hopefully sell a few copies of his bands new album
I have my problems with the sometimes contrived nature of the X Factor, and I have to agree with Mick, that it would be nice to see a TV show that focused on people who could write their own music or play their own instruments. However to claim that British music industry is “going in the toilet” in the same week that a British Recording Artist scooped five Grammys for her musical achievements is beyond ridiculous.
