X Factor 2009

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole is reportedly plotting an image overhaul after becoming concerned over her co-star Dannii Minogue's growing popularity.
Minogue's style choices and new short hairstyle have been praised in the media since filming for the ITV1 show began in June.
A source said: "Cheryl is surprised by Dannii's new look and how many compliments she's getting from viewers. Everyone keeps saying how fabulous she looks.
"Simon's also made sure she gets more air time after viewers complained that Cheryl was getting all the attention last series."
According to the Daily Star, Cole will now go public with "a whole new image" because she doesn't want to be overshadowed by Dannii in the forthcoming live episodes.
Minogue recently admitted that the judges' fashion choices have become an "important part of the show".

what a load of rubbish a twenty something year old would not threat over a 40 year old lol when i was in my 20's a 40 year old was old
even though dannii is absolutely stunning and cheryl has nothing going for her in the looks dept!! but i dont believe this at all

Just goes to show how the program has become totally all about the judges. I couldn't care less about Dannii's new haircut etc, I watch the show for the contestants.

THE live shows are still nearly a fortnight away, but The X Factor judges and presenters have already fallen out with Simon Cowell.
Perfectionist Si has BANNED them from doling out audience tickets to showbiz mates.

He wants more "real people" in the crowd. Normally his fellow judges Cheryl Cole, Louis Walsh, Dannii Minogue and presenters Dermot O'Leary and Holly Willoughby are allowed around 30 tickets each.

But Simon has told producers it's too many as it affects the atmosphere. He is fed up of preening celebs turning up just to be seen rather than cheer along the acts.

He's got a point. TV Biz is sick of seeing freeloading wannabes stopping the real fans from getting prized seats at all the top shows.

A no-nonsense email spelling out the new deal - seen by TV Biz - was sent out last night.

It said: "Big apologies for the delay in confirming this year's judge allocations for the live shows.

"On Simon's wishes, to create the right atmosphere the studio is going to be full of a more 'general public' audience and so people's allocations have had to be adjusted accordingly."

The X Factor mob will still get some tickets, but only for Sunday nights.

Saturday nights, when A-list singers like Robbie Williams will perform, will be exclusively for the public.

A show insider said: "This hasn't gone down well as the judges like to dish out tickets to their mates to show off.

"But now they're going to have to be really choosy as they're only getting a few."

TV Biz is sure they'll get over it. Meanwhile, top marks to Simon for at least attempting to keep it real

X Factor hopefuls John and Edward show an emotional side during the judges' houses episodes this weekend.

The Dublin-born twins recently admitted that viewers see them as "villains" after they schemed against rival contestant Sian Paley at boot camp. Paley was sent home by the judges following a joint performance with the brothers, who decided to drown her out by singing over her.

In tomorrow night's instalment, the pair break down in tears amid fears that they have failed to impress their mentor Louis Walsh and his guest judge Ronan Keating in Italy.

Edward tells show host Dermot O'Leary: "I don't want to be crying. I just feel like, we go home and then it's just like, 'What the hell? That's it'. Then that's what we're remembered for, that's the end."

Reflecting on their rendition of Backstreet Boys hit 'I Want It That Way', he adds: "I think we meant our best. It could have gone well and it didn't, but it's better just to go for it because it could have gone well."

Meanwhile, John claims that they may bow out of the competition on an "unbelievable bad note" due to their performance.

The X Factor continues tomorrow at 8pm on ITV1.

I take it that they got the boot in boot camp (), if so, rightly so. They will never win, even if they go through to another round.

Can you imagine if Bevis and Butthead got through to the live shows Simon would rip the sh1t out of them like he did with the McDonald Brothers. I think Dannii may be in with a real chance this year as she has Kylie helping her out and you can't go wrong with a bit of Kylie. If there is any problems with Cheryl and Dannii it will be Cheryl feeling jealous hoping she looks as fab as Dannii when she reaches 40.

T gets worse - only ONE of the terrible Grimes twins can sing.

Boyzone man Ronan Keating let the cat out of the bag after having to endure pop irritants John and Edward while judging The X Factor groups with Louis Walsh.

He told TV Biz: "There's something about those guys - they've got the right energy and feel really pop.

"And one of them can sing - I don't know which one but one of them can."

Now TV Biz is not fond of spoilers but we got the impression from the Irishman that we may be seeing more of John/Edward.

We'll find out tomorrow night for sure if they make the final 12.

If they do, you know what to do when it comes to voting for the acts.

BIN THE TWINS!

WTF is she doing?

[Hannelene]

Great body

But what is she doing? And how is this relevant to a singing contest where you keep your clothes on?
