Cowell: Dannii's got to go
Simon wants a male judge to join Cheryl on X Factor
SIMON Cowell will AXE Dannii Minogue from X Factor at the end of this series—despite reassuring her she’ll KEEP her judge’s job. TV’s “Mr Nasty” has had secret talks with ITV bosses, telling them he wants Dannii replaced with a male version of Cheryl Cole, we can reveal.
Dannii’s only hope is if one of her acts wins—which is unlikely, especially after Rachel Hylton was booted out.
Rachel, 26, lost out to boyband JLS in the sing-off despite a storming performance of I’m Not Leaving Without You from the movie Dream Girls last night. Dannii said afterwards: “She’s an amazing amazing girl. I’m really sad she has to go.”
Last night Dannii’s sister Kylie revealed she had been emailing Dannii about the way Simon was treating her.
Kylie said: “It’s not fair the hard time she’s been given. I think she does amazingly well. I would be terrible. I wouldn’t quite know how to deal with it.”
Simon fancies Ronan Keating, Gary Barlow or another male singer to sit on the panel with him, Cheryl and Louis.
But he has told Dannii her job is SAFE—just like he did with Kate Thornton before dumping her as show host in 2006.
An insider said: “Simon’s made his decision. Once his mind’s made up it’s very hard to change. Even though ITV has the final say, Simon is the driving force behind X Factor. If Simon wants a man in Dannii’s place he’ll get it.”
Simon and Dannii were very close in the last series—before Cheryl arrived. Two weeks ago Dannii told us: “He moved me away from him and now sits next to Cheryl and is in her ear all the time. It is a snub.” But she added: “He’s made it clear I’ll be back.”
Our source said: “He has to make Dannii think her position is safe or she might walk now.”
Tensions heightened among the judges last night Dannii broke down in tears on live TV after Louis accused her of stealing a song from his act JLS to give to Rachel. But Simon defended her on The Xtra Factor on ITV2, calling Louis a “sore loser”.

----> I like Dannii, IMO she's much better than Sharon, and I like her more than Cheryl. And I couldn't believe how upset Dannii was last night. Poor woman. No one deserves to be made so upset. I don't know exactly what happened, but I know that Louis is not my favourite person at the moment :angry:
I woudldnt mind if she left but not another male!!
I agree Megan. I felt so sorry for Dannii last night and I'd rather Cheryl went over her. Dannii's a decent mentor, but I think her 'breakdown' last night was not just because of Louis, but because of all the jibes she's recieved from the press.. I think it all mounted up against her and eventually got too much for her. I do really feel sorry for her and hope she's a lot more cheerful next week!
Thats what I think it was, I didnt have her as person to cry over one things, so I think it was everything put together, espeically after the things with RachelQuote:

cheryl kinda looked like she was laughing while she was speechless and crying
X Factor star Diana Vickers is having a secret fling with Eoghan Quigg, The Sun can reveal.
The teens, bookies’ favourites to reach the finals of the ITV1 talent show, refer to each other as “best friends” on telly.
But we can reveal that romance has blossomed between Eoghan, 16, and 17-year-old Diana — behind the back of her student boyfriend.
Researchers on the show — where judges frequently tell hopefuls “You made that song your own” — were stunned to discover the pair canoodling in the house the finalists share in West Hampstead, North London.
A source said: “They’re only young and hormones are flying about the place.
Both Diana and Eoghan have got close as the competition has taken its toll, particularly after Diana missed a week when she was ill. She was extremely tearful and had a terrible time.
“They’ve got a really sweet relationship — but we did have to avert our eyes.”
Diana’s boyfriend, Manchester University student Chris Jones, 18, admitted he feared the show would wreck their relationship.
The couple have been dating for six months and Chris, who is studying events management, has been a frequent visitor to London to see the talented hopeful.
Chris has said: “She’s such a nice girl and absolutely stunning. I really love her.”
He has known Diana since she was 11 but they hooked up again after she served him and his dad in a pub last year.
Chris added: “I first found out she could sing when we were at a party, she just got up and sang.” But he worried her fame might jeopardise their relationship, saying: “She does get a lot of attention now she is on TV. I try not to get jealous.”
A show insider insisted: “They’re only kids and there’s no suggestion that she’s going to dump her boyfriend.”
Diana has been battling in the show after being forced to miss a week due to laryngitis. She then gave a painful performance of Coldplay hit Yellow last week, which was slated by the judges.
But she is now determined to come back with a bang for the Take That show tonight.
And during a masterclass with the finalists, Take That’s Gary Barlow said that if Simon did not sign Diana then he would.
Meanwhile Irish lad Eoghan, the last of Cowell’s acts and the youngest contestant in the house, is taking the contest in his stride.
In the Take That class Mark Owen and Gary worked with Eoghan on one particular high note in his song that he has been struggling with.
The X Factor finalists have reportedly been left fuming, after discovering that the winner's first single will be a song sang by Diana Vicker's during the audition process.
Each of the finalists will record Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, a song that Diana sang during boot camp. Although other contestants also sang the track, it was 17-year-old Vickers who was praised for '(making) it totally her own' by Louis Walsh.
The choice of song has now reportedly led to accusations of favouritism, The Mirror reports, as the remaining contestants viewed the choice as hand-picked for Vickers.
A source told the paper, 'Tempers are running high. They feel it is just the latest in a series of stunts that have left them wondering if the competition has already been won.
'First there was Diana getting let through one heat because she was ill – although Alexandra was told to keep her exact same illness quiet and perform. Then Simon came out at a charity dinner saying his choice to win was Diana. And now they feel the winner’s song has been chosen because it suits her vocals.'
The snitch added, 'Many suspect producers are paving the way for Diana to win and there is nothing they can do. They feel even if the public put her in the bottom two, the judges will always save her.'
The rumours come as tension on the show stepped up a gear this weekend, with Dannii Minogue breaking down during an argument with Louis Walsh.
The Aussie singer looked on the verge of tears from the start of the show, as Walsh accused her of stealing his act's song for her contestant Rachel Hylton.

The one thing that really disgusted me was Cheryl Cole. When Dannii was crying Cheryl kind of looked round at her and then turned back round to Simon and was smirking. I just wanted to smack her in the face.
Cheryl thinks she so perfect and that her acts are so great. It so annoyed me when she said "i dont care what the other judges say, my acts will be in the final". Alex is horrible, she sounds more and more like a man everytime she sings. Diana was bad this week as well.
I do agree with what people said about this not been the only reason for her crying. All the things that have been said about her in the press. Even when Louis goes onto different shows he makes fun of her.
I dont agree that Rachel should have gone this week. I think it may have been tactical by Louis to say that Dannii had cheated because he knew that maybe people would beleive and then not vote for Rachel which is exactly what happened. I thought Alex and JLS should have been in the bottom because they were horrible.
I think this year it is Fix Factor. Come on i mean Diana was bad on Saturday yet she still got great comments. Its pathetic. I think that is the reason that Cheryl is so certain that her acts are gunna win because she knows that its fixed for Diana to win it.
I think Dannii has the best singer in the competition but she wont win because of the fixing.
To be honest i wouldnt be bothered if they didnt do another series of it because its rubbish now.
