Dannii Minogue Simon Cowell Has Some Balls For Calling Me

Dannii Minogue says Simon Cowell "has some balls" for picking the moment she was filming his TV show as the first time to speak to her since their affair was leaked.

The telly judge revealed she first heard from the music mogul when he recently 'ambushed' her during shooting for The X Factor Australia.

Dannii, 41, was preparing to hear which acts she had been given when she picked up the phone and heard Simon’s voice on the end of the line.

The mum-of-one revealed her shock in an interview with Grazia magazine: “You’d laugh your socks off if you saw it. I’ve not spoken to him since I left the show, yet he chose to film that moment."

She added: “Simon has some balls doing that.

"I find it bizarre that he’s never been involved in the Australian version of the show before and then I’m on it and suddenly he wants to break the news as to what group I have.”

The pair hadn’t spoken since Dannii left the UK version of The X Factor in 2010 ? despite news of their steamy affair being revealed in a biography of the talent show titan last year.

Author Tom Bower also observed Simon was obsessed with “her hair, the sexy clothes - and the t*ts”.

Dannii, who will be appearing on Sky Living’s Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model, also admitted she’s been thinking about having another baby.

The singer has a two-year-old son, Ethan, with her former boyfriend, rugby player Kris Smith.

She said: "I can’t just click my heels together and make it happen. I keep wondering how the hell I do it.

"Once Ethan got to two he started doing the most adorable things and I was like, 'Damn, I want another one.'”

“All my gay friends have been asking if my ovaries are available for rent - they’re close to running after me with a turkey baster.”

The full interview appears in this week’s Grazia magazine and Britain & Ireland’s Next Top Model starts on June 20, Sky Living HD and on the move with Sky Go.

Olly Murs Twin Wedding

Olly Murs has revealed that he could still have stayed on the X Factor even if he had gone to his twin brother’s wedding.

The lads haven’t been on speaking terms since Olly skipped brother Ben’s nuptials to perform in the semi-finals of the 2009 show. That decision tore the family apart.

But the Thinking Of Me singer, who finished runner-up to Joe McElderry in the sixth series of X Factor, now reckons that he could have done both.

Olly said: “I wouldn’t have been eliminated from the show by going to it but I would have missed a full day of rehearsals.

“It was the semi-finals. It was shame but you have to move forward.”

Speaking of his ongoing rift with Ben, he added: “We haven’t spoken for three or four years.

“I hope he’s happy whatever he’s doing.

“It was just a falling out over the wedding day. I just really feel for my parents – that’s the real feud.”

He went on: “It’s probably lucky that we are not identical twins.

“If we looked the same it could be the hardest thing in the world. I’m glad we don’t look alike for both our sakes.”

They say blood is thicker than water. It’s time for Olly's old man to bang their heads together.

Caroline Flack Says She Won't Move On Xtra Factor Co-host Matt Richardson

Caroline Flack says Xtra Factor viewers should brace themselves for disappointment this year - because she will NOT be making goo-goo eyes at her young co-host.

Comedian Matt Richardson, 22, was announced last week as her new sidekick, sparking speculation that Caroline, 33, would once again find herself falling for a younger up-and-coming star.

The presenter notoriously dated Harry Styles for several months in 2011 when the One Direction singer was just 17.

And last year the audience watched agog as ITV2 spin-off turned into a will-they-won’t-they saga about Caroline and then co-host, Olly Murs, now 29.

She and the former X Factor runner-up - who bowed out of this year’s show because of his music commitments - denied anything ever happened between them.

But the chemistry seemed sizzlingly obvious on-screen, and they were also spotted cuddling backstage.

So Caroline is resigned to speculation about her relationship with newbie Matt - who at a stand-up gig in Brighton last April poked fun at Caroline’s fling with Harry.

After joking about how the boyband singer only looked about 12 years old, cheeky Matt responded to a woman giggling in the audience by saying: “One woman orgasmed there, obviously a Harry Styles fan. Could have been Caroline Flack.”

Ladbrokes are already offering odds of 2-1 for Caroline and Matt to hook up by the end of the year, but she insists NOTHING will happen.

She says: “There probably will be stories, particularly because of his age! But I don’t fancy him.

“He is more like my naughty younger brother and I’m going to have to keep him in line - but in a good way, not in a dominatrix way!

“He has already told me he does really badly with women, so I think I’m just going to completely take the mickey out of him all the time.

“He has already been texting me asking me for advice about what he should do with girls.”

And Caroline - who begins filming with Matt today in Glasgow at the first auditions for the new X Factor series which will screen in August - insisted she is already all loved-up.

She said: “I am dating at the moment. That is all I am saying! It could be a woman. No, it is a man. I am very happy at the moment. Life is really good at the moment and I am looking forward to the rest of the year.”

Xtra Factor co-star Matt Richardson mocked Caroline Flack's taste in men.

Caroline recently sparked rumours that she had secretly got ENGAGED to her mystery man after posting a picture of herself online with a ring on the all-important finger.

But she admits it was just a joke, explaining: “My friend had just got married and her ring was so beautiful she let me try it on but it just looked weird on my finger.

“I will probably never get married so it was my one chance!”

Caroline has spent the past few weeks furiously getting herself into peak condition for the new Xtra Factor series.

She said: “I am ready for it now. I have got myself ready - I have been eating healthily, I’ve been on holiday so I’ve been getting back in shape. I have been working out every day.

“I do feel that pressure of being on TV and having to look good, definitely. It is easy when you are off work to have a massive blow-out and eat loads and not work out.”

And she added: “Xtra Factor is hard work - it is full-on from now until the end of the year. But I think it’s going to be a really good year." But she suspects that the show will have a very different vibe this time because of comic Matt.

She said: “There are going to be quite a lot of changes. Matt is a completely different character to Olly. It might be that we do some stuff separately rather than always being together.

“But it will still be lots of fun. He is a comedian so he will want to do things differently as well. He is a very nice guy, he is very likeable.

“We said we are not going to replace Olly and that we wanted someone completely different. Matt is almost like the opposite of Olly.

“He brings a completely different feel to it. I am really excited about working with him. He is very funny.

“We have really good chemistry together and I helped make the decision.

“It wasn’t a case of just choosing someone and putting them in, it was about how we worked together.

“There were quite a few people interviewed for the job and then we screen tested the people we felt were right. He brought something to it which we hadn’t even thought about.”

And Caroline said her new co-host has also been given the thumbs up by supremo Simon Cowell.

She said: “He really likes Matt. He is really excited about the show.

“This will be my third year now. I am the longest-serving female host on The Xtra Factor.

“I could be the female Louis Walsh!”

Sharon Osbourne Has Her Old X Factor Job Back For £1.8m

Sharon Osbourne has finally agreed to return to the X Factor - for a £1.8 million deal.

She agreed terms this week and will jet in before the first audition in Glasgow on June 4.

An official announcement is due to be made imminently.

ITV hoped to sign Sharon, 60, last month but her marriage troubles stalled talks.

The Sun revealed she and rocker hubby Ozzy, 64, were living separate lives in Los Angeles after he admitted taking drugs and drinking again.

A source said: “Sharon’s been through hell lately, so X Factor was not front of mind.

“But she loves the show and missed it.

“Things with Ozzy have calmed down but they’re a long way off being sorted.”

Sharon - who has said she does not want to divorce - will return as part of a revamp by Simon Cowell after last year’s series lost over three million viewers.

She will get over £1.5million cash and £300,000 in first class flights between the UK and LA. Five star hotel accommodation, wardrobe and make-up costs are also thrown in.

She quit in 2008 after four years, saying she disliked panel co-star Dannii Minogue, She had also demanded a reported £2million pay deal, which show boss Richard Holloway branded “unreasonable”.

Fellow judge Gary Barlow is still thrashing out a £1.5m deal, while Louis Walsh is said to be close to signing for £1m.

We told yesterday how Nicole Scherzinger is still holding out. Chiefs are considering hiring ex Spice Girl Mel B instead.

X Factor Mogul Simon Cowell Lets Cameras In To His Home

SIMON COWELL is a busy man with a global empire to run... so he can’t sit about trying to ignite kindling to get a log fire going.

When he’s over in snowy Blighty, Simon has a special remote control that creates an instant roaring fire in his front room.

It’s one of many luxuries the talent show supremo has on tap at his swish London pad, which has vases filled with uniform white roses sat on seemingly every surface.

Presenter Will Best snoops around Cowell’s crib in a promo video for the mogul’s new online star search The You Generation.

The house is MODEST compared to his 11,550 sq ft Beverly Hills pile, which has a basement gym, a luxury spa and an indoor pool.

Even so, his lounge is pretty spic-and-span, with huge scented candles in glass vats and plumped cushions placed symmetrically in front of the massive flatscreen telly.

Across the hall, the dining room seats ten and has a Steinway grand piano.

With a little practice Simon could try his luck on Britain’s Got Talent.

I’ll Get Naked In A Bath Of Beans If We Get To No1

UNION J have got their eyes firmly on the prize.

GEORGE SHELLEY, JOSH CUTHBERT, JAYMI HENSLEY and JJ HAMBLETT - who release their debut single Carry You on June 2 - are keeping their fingers crossed for a No1.

And George vowed to LIA NICHOLLS that he’ll get naked in a bath of beans if it does.

Your first single is out soon, have you told your family and friends to buy multiple copies?

George: Not sure about multiple but they will all be buying it.

What will you do to celebrate if you get to No1?

George: We’ll have a massive party - and I’ve said I’ll sit in a bath of beans.

Will you really do that?

George: Yes definitely, be pictured and everything, you have my word.

You’ve recently moved in with each other in new pads in London - how’s it all going?

George: Yeah, amazing. Me and Josh are living together and so are JJ and Jaymi, who have turned into husband and wife.

They’re like my nan and grandad. When we get in the car in the morning, they’re like, “Have you got this, have you got that?”

Who is most likely to throw a hissy fit?

George: It depends on the situation. If it’s over food, definitely Jaymi. He rages over food.

Did you have much say about what was going to be your first single?

George: Yes. We had the choice of a few songs but it was the one we thought was the most catchy. It was the one we were all walking round singing.

Have you been doing your own food shopping or does it get done for you?

George: No, we do it. We go to the supermarket, we like a trip to the supermarket.

Who’s your ideal man or woman?

JJ: EVA LONGORIA would be nice.

What are you most looking forward to doing this year?

Xcited ... the lads are looking forward to playing festivals this summer Fame Flynet

JJ: We can’t wait to play the festivals.

Who are you most looking forward to meeting or hanging out with?

JJ: It will be good to catch up with JESSIE J, THE WANTED and LAWSON.

Did you know NATHAN SYKES (The Wanted) had an operation to save his voice last week?

JJ: Yes we heard and we wish him a speedy recovery. No singer wants to go through what he’s going through. It must be tough.

When was the last time you cried?

Jaymi: On Saturday, to Britain’s Got Talent. The shadow dancers ATTRACTION. I had a little tear.

You mean, you didn’t cry watching Margaret Thatcher’s funeral then?

Jaymi: No, I didn’t watch it. People were being really awful about her on Twitter and I didn’t want to get involved.

I just think she’s someone’s mum.

Did you have an opinion on her?

Jaymi: None either way. I don’t know anything about politics.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve been sent by a fan?

Jaymi: Not the strangest, but the coolest was from a girl in South Africa. She sent me a load of South African chocolate and sweets. I’d say her name but it was really funky so I wouldn’t want to get it wrong.

What’s your signature dish?

Jaymi: Domino’s pizza. If pushed, sausage and mash — Tesco’s Finest.

But forget cooking, JJ hasn’t found the iron, the hoover or the washing machine yet. He doesn’t know how to use any of them.

And when he goes to the toilet and the loo roll runs out, rather than replacing it, he’ll just go to a different toilet. Very lazy JJ.

Describe your ideal night.

Jaymi: I love staying in so it’s getting some good food and watching a film chilling with my boyfriend or having friends round. We’ve got a nice flat to have friends round.

Who’s on your playlist at the moment?

Josh: CHARLIE BROWN, CHRIS BROWN, RUDIMENTAL.

Who’s the most famous person in your phone book?

Josh: Probably JOE HART. We text a fair bit as we had a good night out at a casino in Manchester. It was a laugh, he’s a really nice guy.

If you hadn’t made it on The X Factor, would you have auditioned for The Voice?

Josh: I don’t know, maybe... ermmmm... it’s only been around for a little while so probably not.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given recently?

Josh: To remain positive and optimistic as that’s the response you’re likely to get back.

Can you tell me a joke, please?

Josh: Where would you find a dog with no legs? Where you left it.

Nicole’S First Interview, Gary walking off like that was over the top

Nicole’S First Interview! “Gary walking off like that was over the top”

OMG! Did you see tonight’s DRAMATIC elimination?

We’re still reeling from the shock of seeing Gary walking off set.

This evening, we exclusively caught up with Nicole moments after the show to talk about her reaction to the night’s unbelievable events and to find out how Rylan is coping.

Are you in shock?
I’m genuinely taken back by it all. I thought Rylan gave such a strong performance on Saturday’s show.

Do you think Gary is to blame for Rylan ending up in the bottom two?
What Gary says, goes. He gave Rylan a really hard time. I do think that contributed to him being in the bottom two.

Are you vexed with Gary?
I respect and love Gary. He’s got a job to do. He’s playing the devil’s advocate. Although, I did think him walking off like that was a bit dramatic and OTT.

Rylan must be in bits…
Rylan is more upset about Carolynne leaving that he is over his own welfare. That’s the sort of guy he is. He’s extremely popular with all the other Finalists. Rylan has a huge heart and cares more about other people than himself.

What’s Rylan like?
There’s a massive misconception about Rylan being a diva. He’s the least, biggest diva I’ve ever met. Rylan really does get on with everyone. He shares a room with James Arthur and they get along brilliantly – despite being total opposites.

How are you going to handle Rylan?
I’m going to spend time building his confidence back up so he’s ready for the challenges of the Lives next week.

The X Factor judges’ houses finalists have been revealed, and Xtra Factor’s Caroline Flack has been getting to know them all!

The lucky performers (of sorts) were James Arthur, Jahmene Douglas, Nathan Fagan-Gayle, Adam Burridge, Rylan Clark and finally Jake Quickenden.

Caroline Flack had some gritty and revealing questions to ask the group, questioning them on everything from embarrassing moments to funny nick names.

Watch the video below to find out which of the boys wet the bed on holiday and which of them was mugged by a fox, who remains at large with their wallet, source.
