Dannii Minogue Wants Wedding Before Turning 40 and Having More Kids!
Posted on January 12th, 2011 at 1:59 pm by
The pressure to propose is on for Kris Smith, the British father of Dannii Minogue’s six-month-old son Ethan. Minogue apparently wants a wedding ring on her finger before she turns 40 in October of this year. She also wants to walk down the aisle before giving baby Ethan any new brothers or sisters.
A source close to The X Factor judge, while speaking to Closer magazine, recently said: “[Minogue] is keen to be married or engaged with another baby on the way before she turns 40 in October.”
The insider revealed: “[Minogue and Smith] have been casually discussing their future and marriage for ages. He’s the one wanting more kids and the family home, but she’s beginning to wonder if a wedding is even on his agenda now. It’s very much on hers, so while she’s dropped a few hints, she doesn’t want to force him.”
Smith apparently wants to have more children, but is not rushing to get married as the source added: “Kris has been saying things like, ‘There’s no rush’ or, ‘Why change what’s so perfect now?’ Dannii knows he loves her – but she is looking to make it official. Her family keep dropping big hints too.”
It seems like the marriage factor is putting strain on Dannii’s and Kris’s relationship. I reckon Kris should not wait too long to pop the question because otherwise he might get popped in the head.
Simon Says Cheryl Cole’s Got the X Factor!
Posted on November 30th, 2010 at 2:26 pm by
We have been writing about this one for ages, and finally it’s been announced that Cheryl Cole is being signed up as a judge on the US version of the X Factor, in a deal worth a whopping £3 Million…WOW!
The 27 year old former Girls Aloud singer is the first judge to be revealed on the eagerly anticipated show, aside from Simon Cowell of course. Cowell stated recently that he would “make an announcement within three or four weeks, which is going to tell everyone everything. There will be some surprises.’
Well Cheryl certainly is a surprise, as her US career is only really just starting to take off… but what a platform for the singer to make it big in America. She must be delighted.
However, there are still 2 more places on show’s US panel and as you’d expect the rumor mill is going crazy with Nicole Scherzinger being one of the favorites to also join Simon. The former member of the Pussycat Dolls stood in for UK judge, Dannii Minogue, earlier this summer and made such an impacted on Mr Cowell that she returned to the series to replace Cheryl as she recovered from Malaria back in July.
Whatever the final line up may be, I’m sure it will be a success… It’s got Mr Simon Cowell behind it… So it’s going to be HUGE when it finally hits our screen next year.
There’s just no stopping Cheryl Cole at the moment… Good luck Chezza, we’re right behind you!
Dannii Minogue’s Boyfriend Denies Engagement!
Posted on November 15th, 2010 at 12:12 pm by
Here’s a rumor that needs to be fixed… Dannii Minogue and her boyfriend Kris Smith’s rumored engagement.
Recent reports from the British press speculated that Smith had proposed to the X Factor judge during a long distance telephone call, but Smith denied the rumors when he wrote on Twitter: “Sorry guys but reports are incorrect we have not got engaged especially not over the phone…”
The false reports went so far as to assert that the couple planned to marry in Melbourne and that Minogue had already started designing her engagement ring.
If the father of Dannii’s son Ethan ever does propose to her, I reckon it will be a little less exciting after having to publicly announce that they are not engaged. There’s not much wind left to blow into those sails, eh Kris? The pressure is on, it seems. The price of fame…
Kylie Speaks Out about Minogue-Osbourne Feud!
Posted on September 30th, 2010 at 1:54 pm by
The Minogue-Osbourne feud has truly turned into a family affair after Kylie Minogue has swooped in to protect her little sis’ Dannii.
The war between the two clans has also become very public after Sharon Osbourne talked about it on the TV show Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, Dannii referenced it in her new book My Story, Kelly Osbourne tweeted about it on Twitter, and now Kylie has spoken to the press regarding the dispute.
Expressing her feelings about the clash of the famous families to the The Sun, Kylie revealed: “I feel protective. Dannii is my little sister and I always feel the urge to get involved. But I’m reluctant to get dragged into this fresh hoo-ha.”
The Australian pop star added: “It’s such a small part of our lives now. I think it’s basically become a pantomime. But it was very real at the time Sharon and Dannii were both on [The X Factor].
We had the Osbournes and the Minogues kicking off. But I know Dannii wishes it would go away. Can we just get past this now? Come on! It’s a bit old and boring.”
I reckon Kylie’s goal of getting past the feud is a good one, but if Dannii truly wishes it would go away, then she shouldn’t have written about it in her ‘tell all’ book.
Still, I do hope the Minogues and the Osbournes work out their differences as both sides have their points. Good on Kylie for sticking up for her little sis’, there nothing like a bit of family support… Touché!
Osbourne’s Back… Minogue: “Sharon’s Not Welcome in My Dressing Room!”
Posted on September 27th, 2010 at 3:54 pm by
As Dannii Minogue returns to The X Factor (UK) this Saturday after being away on maternity leave, she must once again come face to face with Sharon Osbourne, who is back as a guest for the judges’ houses stage of the talent competition.
Not an easy thing to have to deal with, especially after being publicly ridiculed by Sharon’s daughter Kelly on Twitter just over a week ago. Regarding Osbourne’s upcoming appearance, Kylie’s little sis’ stated: “It’s not awkward, it’s separate things and we have no contact. It’ll be interesting to see how the fans react to [Sharon.]”
But Minogue declared: “She’s welcome any time (to the show). Just not in my dressing room.”
When Minogue was recently asked by X Magazine about her reaction to being called “the devil” by Kelly O, the Australian said: “I just put what happened in the book. I don’t want to get into the back and forth of this. [I’m] not really angry. I laughed. I know what’s true.”
In her new book, My Story, Minogue revealed that Sharon verbally attacked her in her X Factor dressing room, causing Minogue to breakdown in tears.
Speaking about Kelly’s allegations that the dressing room incident is a lie, the new mum added: “They’re strong accusations. I’m not a liar – if she’s calling me a liar, she’s calling everyone who was there a liar. The producers and everyone. There were a lot of witnesses.”
It was reported that fellow judge Louis Walsh had to check with X Factor boss Simon Cowell to make sure that Osbourne could return.
A source said: “Louis had to clear her return with Simon Cowell who is pleased because he knows she will be good for ratings.”
I reckon it will be more interesting to see how Dannii and Sharon react to each other than anything else. If I were Sharon, I would stay as far away from Dannii’s dressing room as possible. And if I was Cheryl Tweedy, I would wear a bullet proof vest and take cover…
Hopefully, no blood will be drawn!
Kelly O: Dannii Minogue is “The Devil!”
Posted on September 20th, 2010 at 5:36 am by
As is to be expected, Kelly Osbourne is defending her mom (mum to our readers in the UK) Sharon by calling Dannii Minogue’s claim that Shazza is a bully false.
The feud between Minogue and mother Osbourne began when the Aussie singer worked with Sharon on The X Factor (UK) back in 2007. From early on, it was rumoured that, for various reasons, Dannii and Sharon did not see eye to eye. Shortly after Dannii joined the popular talent show, Sharon quit and was replaced by former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole.
In 2009, Sharon appeared on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories and admitted she in fact quit because of her contentious relationship with Dannii. In the interview Sharon said: “I didn’t enjoy working with [Dannii] at all and didn’t fancy the prospect of spending six months sitting next to her.”
In Dannii’s new autobiography, My Story to be released on September 30, regarding her interaction with Sharon on The X Factor, Kylie’s younger sister wrote: “About 30 minutes before the live broadcast, there was an urgent knock on my dressing room door, and in bowled Sharon… Sharon demanded to know why I hadn’t gone to the press to tell them what a nice person she was… The minute she left, I burst into tears. I’d managed to hold it together while Sharon had been there, but once she’d gone I couldn’t hold it in, and I wept into my hands.”
In response to Dannii’s story, Kelly tweeted: “the best thing to happen to dannii’s career was that my mother hated her[.] she needs to shut her mouth and concenterate on motherhood! i will be the first one to admit that my mother did not play her cards right when came to dannii but trust me when i say dannii is the devil[.]”
Kel added: “Dannii you are so lucky that i respect simon enough to not tell the truth about what really happened. wa wa wa you poor middle aged victum. to the 12 dannii fans out there i ask you this question what would you do if someone wrote a book of lies about your mother? sorry i have just had to deal with this bullshit 4 years and i have kept my mouth shut but i am sick and tired of her lies enough is enough. i think you all forget i was there i saw everything and if my mum was the “bully” why was she the one [who] left [The X Factor]?”
Harsh words Kel!!! I know you’re defending your mum, but it’s a good thing you’ve been hanging out with the Pussycat Dolls, because it looks like you have a severe cat fight on your hands.
I say, let the bitchfest begin, meow!
Say Hello to Dannii Minogue’s Newborn Boy Ethan!
Posted on July 9th, 2010 at 8:44 am by
The X Factor’s Dannii Minogue has introduced her newborn son Ethan to the world… via micro-blogging website Twitter. The first public photo of baby Ethan (pictured) along with new parents, Dannii and British boyfriend Kris Smith, was posted on Twitter by the Australian singer herself. Minogue gave birth earlier this week in Melbourne’s Royal Women’s Hospital, where the photo was taken. Along with the photo, Dannii posted: “Hey everyone thanks for all your wishes, we are loving baby Ethan and Kris is the best dad in the world. X” Dannii’s sister Kylie is expected to take a trip down under to see her newborn nephew later this month.
An Aussie and a Brit having a baby boy together… how very pro-Commonwealth of them! I wonder if the baby will be raised in England or Australia.
Earlier this week The X Factor judge also tweeted: “Looking forward to catching up on X Factor auditions. Can’t wait to see Simon, Cheryl and Louis again soon – miss them very much. Dx”
I say Dannii should wait and take as much maternity leave as she can to cherish this very special time for bonding with baby Ethan – and I hope Si shares my sentiments.
Congratulations to the happy new family!
Cheryl Cole Hospitalised for Malaria!
Posted on July 6th, 2010 at 11:07 am by
X Factor’s Cherly Cole has been hospitalised with malaria, her spokesman confirmed. This past weekend, the singer allegedly fainted during a photoshoot for her upcoming second solo album and was diagnosed with exhaustion. On the advice of doctors, she cancelled all of her work commitments for the week.
Later, it was determined that Cole was initially misdiagnosed and that she in fact has malaria. The pop singer was likely infected during a recent sabatical in Tanzania, on the east coast of Africa, with “friend” and Dancing with the Stars dancer Derek Hough. According to Cole’s spokesman, she was taking anti-malaria tablets while on Holiday.
If Cole had not contracted the disease, she would be judging X Factor auditions with Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh this week. However, Cowell told the singer: “Don’t rush back. Health is a priority and get some rest to recover properly.” Still, the show must and will go on without Cole. Regular panel members, Cowell and Walsh, will be joined at the judges’ table by Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who is filling in for a very-pregnant Dannii Minogue.
Hopefully, Cheryl will take Si’s advice and return fully recovered from the “M Factor.”
Get well soon Chezza!
