Simon Will Be Pissed! Dannii Minogue Opens Up About X Factor Dramz

Filed under: Anglophilia > Australiastic > Simon Cowell > Dannii Minogue

xfactorpic__opt.jpg

Dannii Minogue chose to speak with the UK's News of the World about the X Factor buzz that she may be getting fired from the show at the end of this season.

She's set the record straight and says that Simon Cowell has assured her that there WILL be a job for her next year.

However, Dannii slammed Si pretty hard in the interview.

We wonder if this little outburst will cost Dannii her j-o-b!

“This year has been very emotional and I admit I’ve struggled to deal with it all, especially with Simon, who is the biggest diva on the show. Mariah Carey doesn’t even compare to him! I guess Simon and I don’t talk much any more, definitely nothing like last year when I was next to him on the panel and was also the new girl. He moved me away from him and now sits next to Cheryl (Cole) and is in her ear all the time. It is a snub but I’m fine. It’s nothing compared to what I had to go through last year.”

The hellish situation Dannii namechecks has to do with Sharon Osbourne. When Sharon was part of the X Factor, she made Dannii's life super hard on and off the show (Miz Osbourne liked to rag on Dannii in interviews). One of the many things that pissed Sharon off was that she believed Simon hired Dannii simply because 'he fancied her, rather than for her music abilities.'

Cheryl will see one day, like you have, Dannii, that ageism hurts!

It sucks to see the new, pretty young thing take your place!

    Although I'm an Anglophile, I live *here*, not there. So why the continual reporting about UK shows?

  6. 6

    Dannii is a great judge and gives good advice, Cheryl is trying to make everyone like her so she can finally brush over the fact she attacked a toilet assistant a few years ago and isn't actually all that nice.

    I Love Danii!!!!!!!!!!

    Cheryl is so much sweeter than Dannii and she's prettier too. Dannii's face has been so screwed over with plastic surgery she looks old and she's just jealous of Cheryl's natural beauty. Nobody who has had plastic surgery ages gracefully. True about Simon snubbing Dannii, though, but that's his problem, not the new girl's.



  12. 12

    I dont get the point of Dannii. She has never had a hit, she is tone deaf…..It's like me telling people they cant sing!
    I sooooo hope they get rid of her and bring Sharon back! I loveeee Sharon!



  13. 13

    don't really know who she is and don't really care, but if this is true, she is going to learn that you don't do the old 'bite the hand that feeds you'. Unless your boss is breaking the law, you have to shut up and put up with it if you want to stay employed. AND although most people know simon is basically a diva, calling your boss that on tv/mags/etc does not endear you to potentional new employers.



  14. 14

    Perez, I know you're trying to stir things up so Dannii would leave the show.
    I heard how you asked Leona Lewis on your MTV EMA show to tell Simon that you want to be a judge on the X-factor instead of Dannii.

    Re: galleon10
    Lmao



  16. 16

    Ageism hurts? You're just figuring that out, Perez? How many readers do you hurt when you put the heading Old People up? Very mean and not your usual style. Please change that.



  17. 17

    cheryl is like the prettiest celeb alive
    and i can see wy its hard on dannii to be snubbed by simon
    its hard on her couse she was the younger more popular one and no she is the sharon (old hag) of the show and i guess that hurts



  18. 18

    Its time for Perez to take over the show… About time sth started 2 happen!

    Re: sparkys nemesis – because this site is not just for American news, it's world wide…



  20. 20

    team dannii! i really like her and feel sorry for her that the past two years she has suffered nothing but abuse. cheryl never gets any becuase of how pretty she is.



  21. 21

    Like Simon hasn't admitted that he is a diva … of course he is - we all know it. Dannii is not telling any secrets . It does suck to get old ….



  22. 22

    Cheryl Cole is a common foul mouthed bad tempered arrogant bitch anyway and never had any good press until XF when tabloids decided to invent a good image for her .Dannii is a much nicer person than her. Why are you obsessed over UK gossip on a US gossip site..you always quote the unreliable sources since you seem not to know which are good and which are crap sources of info.Stick to your side of pond with your own z listers.!! ??

    Re: Phew!!! – What are you smoking? Dannii has had a bad image ever since she got onto the X Factor and Sharon started speaking to the tabloids about the problems she causing. Cheryl has never been hated by the media. Girls Aloud have existed way before the X Factor. There was the scandal way in the beginning of their career where Cheryl got into a fight with the bathroom attendant. But it was all sorted out and everyone got over it. She has fixed her image since then. Everyone says she is racist. But wtf do they know. She is married to a black man. She chose a black girl to go through to the finals on X Factor. Team Cheryl all the way! She makes the show interesting to watch!

    and P.S. PEREZ! Cheryl will never be the ugly duckling in the show. She just turned 25. She is gorgeous! She is an ageless beauty! They will never be able to find someone prettier. They will find someone younger, but deff not prettier. Look at that cow Charlotte Church. She was rumored to be taking Sharon's spot in the X Factor. She is only 22. But she looks like shes 30. And shes a cow. Besides, Cheryl doesnt need the X Factor like Dannii does. She has immense success with Girls Aloud at the moment. Their new album just debuted at number 1 in the UK, selling 85,000 copies in a week. Their number one single released 3 weeks ago has already sold 200,000 copies in the UK. They also have the number 1 DVD at the moment, Tangled Up Tour Live.
