Sharon rants at Dannii before live show
Sharon Osbourne quit The X Factor on live Saturday night TV following a massive bust-up with fellow judge Dannii Minogue. Sharon, who had one of her
acts voted off on Saturday, launched a stinging attack on Dannii – just minutes before the show went on air. According to insiders, Sharon went to Dannii's dressing room to wish her a happy 36th birthday, but before long had the Aussie in tears. "Dannii was crying so badly she had to have her make-up redone three times. All of Sharon's frustrations came out. Dannii tried to keep calm, but there's not much you can do when Sharon is at full throttle. She's been jealous of Dannii getting all the attention and publicity ever since she was bought on the show." These latest revelations come after Sharon vowed she would not return as judge on The X Factor – so what do you reckon? Will she stay away or be back next week for more?
 
Spice Girls video bust-up!
Uh-oh. Apparently there were tears and tantrums aplenty during filming of the new Spice Girls video. Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Scary and Baby got together at
Pinewood Studios on Friday to shoot the promo vid for the single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends), but according to reports, Baby kept crying because
she was tired, Mel B whinged constantly about her jet lag, Posh had some lackey follow her around with Champagne and fresh fruit, Mel C moaned about
how long it was all taking and Geri – obviously – kept holding things up by meditating. A source said: “Things were very delayed. The director was
tearing his hair out and threatened to walk. It was just like before, only even bigger. That’s their egos I’m talking about, not their boobs.” Eek.

Chanelle's Spice Girls show scrapped
More bad news for Spice fans this morning – and Chanelle. Plans for the X Factor-style show Wannabe: Spice Girls – where judges (including the Big Brother Posh-a-like) would search for a new Spice tribute band – has been axed due to legal problems from the actual Spice Girls. “It’s true we’ve had to change the format.” a spokesperson for VH1 confirmed. “There are definitely legal discussions with the Spice Girls’ lawyers.” The programme will now just be called Wannabe and instead of a search to find a Spice tribute band, it is now being billed as a show to find “those desperate for one last chance to make it.” Looks like Chanelle might still get on TV after all then…

Romance blossoming on Strictly?
EastEnders actor Matt Di Angelo and fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestant Alesha Dixon enjoyed some dirty dancing off camera at the Movida night club, according to reports. The saucy pair stunned onlookers as they flirted and grinded on the dancefloor. One said, " They were flirting and it carried on to the dancefloor… They weren't snogging – but they might as well have been." Alesha (whom we heart-symbol) split from hubby Harvey earlier this year after he cheated with Chavine Javine.
