Louis Walsh leaves X Factor!

Simon Cowell has admitted that he should have called Louis Walsh to tell him he had been sacked from The X Factor.

Cowell has been criticised for failing to inform Walsh personally that he would not be asked to serve as a judge on the new series of the TV singing contest.

He told The Sun: “I should have called Louis - he has every reason to believe he’s been stabbed in the back. At some stage we are going to have a conversation and I’ll see how he feels.

“But he’s got to get off his chest what he wants to get off his chest - he thinks I stabbed him in the back.”

American Idol judge, Randy Jackson has admitted to The Sun today that he has been asked to replace Louis Walsh as a judge in this years X Factor series.

The record producer and former singer confessed: “I’d love to do it. I can’t wait to come to London. It will be a fantastic opportunity.”

Randy, who is currently discussing terms with Cowell in LA, said: “I love working with Simon. We’re great friends.”

I think Simon has gotten this one just right. Randy is great on American Idol, honest without being brutal and he has a fantastic sense of humour. Great choice…now who will number four be?

I don't mind Randy but I hate the way he keeps calling all the guys "dog"... and he is so OTT "you're going to hollywood babe/dog/bro etc"

I don't mind Randy either. But my dad reckons that he just goes along with what Simon or Paula says, and I kinda agree with him, he mostly does. And I also hate the way he keeps calling people dog :lol:. But hm, it could be worse I guess.

I hope Randy "Dog" doesn't become the next judge he seems to have no opinion himself just follows Simon and Paula. I like the idea of David Gest he would be hilarious.

I woulndn't mind David Gest either!..
Not Randy though!..
Personally i don't like change..lol..i used to like it with Simon, Sharon & Louis!..

SIMON Cowell has picked X-lover Sinitta to replace axed Louis Walsh as an X Factor judge.

And in an exclusive interview with the News of the World, she revealed he is also going to help her have TWO babies this year!

Simon, who gave Sinitta away when she married businessman Andy Willner, in 2002, has now given the childless couple glowing references in their bid to adopt a family.

Sinitta, 40, and Simon remained friends after their 18-year romance and she has worked behind the scenes on X Factor since 2004. But she admits replacing Louis is no easy task.

She said: "I do feel bad because Louis is a close friend, but he is not on the show any more and that's not my fault.

"I'm the rightful new judge because I've been groomed for the job." Sinitta also revealed for the first time a surrogate mum carrying her twins had miscarried last year so she now hopes to adopt two babies.

Simon gave her a reference and Sinitta said: "He's given the authorities an amazing insight into what I'm about."

And if rumours are true Danni Minogue will also be a judge. Sinitta had a successful career but it was in the 80s and Danni Minogue never had a successful singing career. I hope these are all rumours as both would be horrible judges.

Louis Walsh at least is a successful manager.

I'm hoping for David Gest, Simon Fuller or Clive Davis
