 27/08/2008 Man, things are starting to get interesting in the X-Factor camp, which inevitably means: V. Bitchy. We’re referring to the panel of course, which this year includes the dishy Cheryl Cole, brought in to replace Sharon Osbourne and push Dannii Minogue off her pedestal. Add blubber-mouth Louis Walsh to the equation, alongside the human-wedgie Simon Cowell and you’ve got all the ingredients you need for a far-out Saturday night experience... um, ahem.
Just as the long-running war-of-words between Cole and Minogue was starting to fizzle out, Louis Walsh has added forty gallons of lighter-fuel and a flick of a match to the equation. He may be a strange faux-camp tubby bloke, but Louis Walsh… we salute you.
Speaking to Heat Magazine, Walsh commented: “[Simon Cowell] definitely flirted with her [Dannii Mingoue] throughout last year's series, but he seems to have moved on. He's flirting with Cheryl this year...
“I wasn't exactly chuffed when they hired Dannii Minogue,” Walsh continued, “because, let's face it, she wasn't exactly a household name. She's not exactly Madonna or Kylie, is she? She hasn't had any hits. I don't know one of her songs. That's why I was surprised they hired her.”
Last year Dannii Minogue spoke about how pissed-off she was with Oirish Oik, Waslh, and red-headed squealer, Sharon Osbourne making her life a misery. And since Sharon left the show this year, Walsh seems more than happy to continue berating Minogue in public.
Over to Walsh: “I treat people how they treat me. And she wasn't that friendly to me last year. She was quite frosty - a bit of an ice queen.”
So there we have it. The claws are out. The tantrums have started. The tears are eminent. And Dannii Minogue will still show Cole, Cowell, Walsh and the long-departed Sharon the ‘V’ sign and win the show again this year. Meaning we’ll have another twirp, with a voice like Janet Street-Porter sucking a wasp, plugging the airwaves and making our lives eternally miserable, once again. Oh joy. |
