The 9 O'Clock News - Simon Cowell is after Lily Allen for the X Factor

Posted by 04 March 2011 09:00

So with another installment of the 9 O'Clock News we bring you the latest stories about Simon Cowell and Lily Allen, how Matt Damon met his wife, Cher Lloyd's new memorial tattoo and err... Spam.

Simon Cowell is after Lily Allen for the X Factor

TV’s Mr Grumpypants is apparently prepared to spend what ever it takes to get Lily Allen to take over his chair on the X Factor.

 

A source told The Sun, "Lily was flattered to get Simon's call. It's a big job and an honour to be asked. But she's not convinced.

 

"She has tried to take a step back from the limelight over the last six months and doesn't want to be thrust right back into the madness of the showbiz pantomime that comes with the show.

 

"She doesn't need the money or the hassle at this stage in her life. Maybe in a few years' time when circumstances change she will be more receptive."

 

Lily’s definitely got the credentials to back up being a judge she one a Brit for Best Female last year and has won three Ivor Novello Awards for song writing.

 

What do you think? Could Lily do it? More importantly should Lily do it?

    Oi heatsam/geek!! Why not just fix all the other pages so we can comment on them instead, I think we all want to comment on the Natalie Portman one! I don't think anyone really cares about Chavvy cher, she's a complete chicken... And seriously, can you reinstate Moomintroll, I much prefer that name. Or give a legitimate reason for my banning????? Thanks and stuff
