Dannii's chart disaster!
Dannii Minogue might be judging one of the world's biggest singing talent shows, but is she qualified? The judge's new single Touch Me Like That has limped into the charts, not even breaking into the top 40! In fact, Kylie's little sister has only managed to sell 1,500 singles and with such poor sales is set to scrape in at number 43. And no doubt fellow judge Louis Walsh will have something to say in Saturday's show, especially given that her single is being trounced by re-issues from Shakin' Stevens, Wizzard, Wham! and Phil Collins. A show source said, "Knowing Sharon and Louis, they'll make it their mission to keep reminding her because it winds her up so much. But Simon is very protective of Dannii and will no doubt be reassuring her that she's wonderful."
Lily snubs Mark Ronson
Mark Ronson says that Lily Allen is “rude” for ignoring his phone calls – despite helping her make it in the music industry. The music producer says Lily has been snubbing him lately, “She has been working on her new album, but I’m probably not going to be on it as she hasn’t been returning any of my phone calls.” Lily previously sang on Ronson’s Top Ten cover of the Kaiser Chiefs' Oh My God – but did not perform the track at his BBC Electric Proms gig in London back in October. However, Mark says this is not the reason for the fall out. “She didn’t come… and she explained why and it’s fine. I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t disappointed – but it’s not like she just didn’t show.” Hmm, so what’s the cause of your beef then Lily…
Terri set to dump Simon?
Simon Cowell's long-term girlfriend Terri Seymour has revealed that she's going to dump the pop mogul – when she wants a baby. In a recent interview Terri said, "He doesn't want kids, full stop... I would definitely love to have a baby. Not now, because it's so busy. I love my job and I wouldn't want to give up what I'm doing. But in the future, definitely." But Terri admitted that the pair would be likely to go their separate ways in the next couple of years, adding, "Because everything is so amazing, I haven't allowed myself to think in that way yet. Maybe I will, shortly. It's not something I am worrying about right now. Definitely in the next couple of years, I'd have thought."
Leona set to break America
Wow. Not only has Leona stormed the UK charts with single Bleeding Love and her album Spirit both going to number one, it looks like she’s going to be
huge in America too – something that most UK artists fail to do. There have been thousands of pre-orders for her album over in the US – and it’s not
even released there until March. “American interest is huge and there’s a lot of excitement surrounding Leona releasing out there,” said an industry source. “Americans love her clean image and big-ballad vocals. There’s even been talk of a duet with Whitney Houston.” Has she had the best year or what? Wonder why it never worked out the same for Steve Brookstein?
It's the news!
