Posted February 8, 200916 yr Minogue to sign new 'X Factor' contract Sunday, February 8 2009, 09:42 GMT By Daniel Kilkelly, Entertainment Reporter Simon Cowell has decided to offer a new X Factor contract to Dannii Minogue, a report claims. According to the Sunday Mirror, the show's chief considered replacing Minogue with Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Lily Allen or Charlotte Church, but ultimately chose to save the Aussie popstar because she kept the programme in the headlines last year. A source told the newspaper: "He had been toying with the idea of new blood for a while, but when he looked back it became increasingly obvious that Dannii was the talking point of the last series. Simon is a very canny businessman and this is a purely business decision. "Although sacking Dannii and getting a new judge could win viewers for the first few shows, keeping Dannii pretty much guarantees fireworks throughout the entire series." Reports that the star was involved in a feud with fellow judge Cheryl Cole set tongues wagging last year. Minogue also cried live on air following a dispute with Louis Walsh. The singer is currently working on Australia's Got Talent in her home country. Filming for the new X Factor series will begin in the summer.
February 8, 200916 yr not sure about this but for some reason, Dannii should not be a judge. :unsure:
February 8, 200916 yr Seriously now, the way she's being treated atm, if i was her i'd tell them to stick the bloody contract up their arses.
February 8, 200916 yr I wouldn't re-sign if I was Dannii, but as far as Syco are concerned, it'd be a bloody disaster for them not to have her back.
February 8, 200916 yr Literally 3/4 of the press surrounding the last season was all about Dannii... If I were her I'd not go back. She deserves better treatment.
February 8, 200916 yr Seriously now, the way she's being treated atm, if i was her i'd tell them to stick the bloody contract up their arses. same here.
February 8, 200916 yr i agree she should tell them to stick it as the crap she gets isn't fair,she should sign her contract and then quit after one show which would leave them rushing to replace her and throw them into chaos
February 17, 200916 yr I'm not too bothered about Dannii, she was alright last year, and Cheryl will still have the first role if there's no new judge, so I'm toootally ok with it :lol: As long as she doesn't bring a new $h!tty contestant to the finale (Leon someone? lol), she'll be cool enough to watch on the show. Though I would have loved to have Lily Allen as a new judge! Especially since she said how much she likes Cheryl now (on the Album chart show)! They would have looked like a funny pair together on the pannel :cheer:
