Sharon Osbourne Denies Faking X Factor Fire Scene
Sharon Osbourne has hit out this weeks at sceptics who have accused her of faking the moment when she found out about the fire at her mansion, all in a bid to boost ratings for the new X Factor series.
An insider told the Daily Mirror, “In actual fact, what happened was very different. Sharon’s personal assistant got a call from home to say there had been a fire. But she wasn’t aware how serious it was so they continued to film a few more auditions. It was only when they had a break in filming that and Sharon called home that she realised the blaze was actually pretty serious.”
“None of it was caught on camera, so they then set up some shots of her getting the call. Sharon was obviously upset about the fire - but once she realised everything was OK she thought it would make great TV so she played it up.”
But The X Factor representatives insist the scenes of Osbourne being told about the fire are genuine. A spokesperson says, “It’s a matter of record that Sharon’s house was on fire during the Dublin auditions and the show reflects that. The scene where Sharon tells Louis and Simon about the fire happened in real-time.”

sometimes we need some artistic editing for our lives.
Remember George W Bush when he was told the USA was under attack, he sat there with a kiddies book in his hand looking into space.
If he had the chance to re-film he would have been wearing military combats saying
” Lets nuke em boys”,
But in REALITY, he sat looking like a five year old who was asked to explain einstein theory of relativity.
Probably ossie has burnt down so many house dear sharon has become quite nonchalent. So she needed a bit of rehersal to appear shocked.
Lets not be too hard on her.
I am beginning to think we should be giving actor and actress awards for best Acting performance in reality TV.
For her performance in ” Your house in on fire ” I nominate Sharon.
I nominate Aisleyne for “crying” when Jonathan Leonard was not brought into BB House.
I nominate Paula Abdul for no-one noticing she’s not quite right in the head.
I nominate Bonnie Langford for “looking pleased when she was actually livid about being knocked out in dancing on ice”.
I nominate Louis Walsh in a separate category alongside Nikki as being the least convincing acting performances in reality TV.
Love em !

Perhaps we could extend the theme of people being upset retrospectively to boost ratings.
Contestants and judges could react retrospectively or have delayed emotional reactions. Many already do this I know !
For instance Simon can break down on set, while judging because he has just remembered he didnt do his geography homework in 1974 and he is devasted at the thought of getting the cane.
It is all true but it happened over 30 years ago, but the reaction is delayed.
Louis can break down next week, because he has just realised he put the conway sisters through last year and its only just hit him, the ratings would go up a treat.
