Does Sharon Osbourne Still Have ‘Issues’ With Dannii Minogue?

4:29PM Jess McGuire | If you’ve been wondering whether some time apart from her old co-worker Dannii Minogue has given former judge of Britain’s The X Factor Sharon Osbourne a chance to calm down and move on from her well documented battles with the pop singer, I am sad to inform you that Mrs Osbourne still loathes Dannii with scorching intensity. Before we get to Sharon’s sullying of Dannii’s pristine (well, if you don’t count the faux-lesbian dalliance with Jupiter the Stripper) reputation, let us first address the subtle slap in the face Sharon administered to the younger Minogue via the press. She’s been bigging up Dannii’s latest rival (and Sharon’s replacement on The X Factor) Cheryl Cole! Sharon Osbourne reckons Cheryl Cole was great on The X Factor. The Girls Aloud star, 25, joined the ITV show after Sharon quit last year. ‘She’s perfect,’ says Sharon. ‘A fabulous young girl. The thing is, there’s not one bloody thing wrong with her, which p*sses me off. ‘You can’t possibly find anything bad to say about her. She’s doing brilliantly as I always knew she would.’ And if you read between the lines, you can just make out the words “Dannii is a talentless whore”. Now let’s get a little dirty as we watch a bitter Sharon Osbourne flinging some mud in the hope it sticks. More »

Dannii Morphs Into ‘Grumpy Judge’ On UK Talent Show, Red Symons Prepares For War

4:22PM Jess McGuire | Australia’s Got Talent judge Dannii Minogue – who, last we can recall, spent most of her time on the Channel Seven program fawning over any act that came her way, doubly so if there happened to be any sort of rainbow tinge to the performance – has apparently morphed into a harsh assessor of showbiz skill now that she’s appearing on Britain’s The X Factor. Dannii, who’s joined Simon “normally the nasty one” Cowell and Sharon Osbourne as judges on the UK version of The X-Factor, is becoming increasingly unpopular with the contestants. Choreographer Brian Friedman explains: “One girl came in for auditions and said, ‘I used to like Kylie’.” Dannii didn’t like being compared to her sister and voted her out on the spot. “She has left several contestants in tears.” Meow! The idea of any contestant feeling the need to put on the waterworks after hearing Dannii Minogue finds them talentless strikes us as vaguely amusing, but there you go. (Our beloved gay and UK correspondent Will is no doubt going to kill us for writing the above sentence.) More »
