O'Leary To Present X-Factor

[Bryan]

Just read this on Wikipedia, dont know if there's any truth in it:

Following nearly a month's worth of speculation, Dermot O'Leary was announced as the new host on 29 March 2007. It was revealed that he'd signed a contract worth £1 million to present two series of the programme on ITV. However, Dermot was not forced to leave the Big Brother franchise and will continue to present the shows sister shows this summer.

So maybe he will stay with Big Brother, as theres been no official announcemnt that he WONT be hosting BBLB, like there was recently with Brand on BBBM.

Time shall tell.

I like Dermot, but I'm not sure he's suited to a show like this.

I liked Kate, and I liked Louis.

I also think it's ridiculous that they are encouraging 14 year olds to try and pursue these careers - singers are pretty pointless, really.
I mean, I enjoy music as much as the next person, and I don't look down on people who make their livings out of it, or people who appear on these shows, I just think it's absurd to be encouraging young people that these careers are the ones that they should be following.

And I'm also confused about how they are supposed to do this. I'm not sure about these sort of things, but isn't the legal age to leave school 16? If so, how are they supposed to get away with the kids taking all of this time off of school? Tutors, I suppose, but isn't this a bit inconvenient? Having to try and practise their songs while juggling all the hours of tutoring?
I personally don't agree with it, and I would be disgusted with any parents who allowed their children to do this.
