Simon’s Interview with Wendy Williams Goes T*ts-Up!
Posted on October 14th, 2011 at 8:15 am by Nick Crew
Simon Cowell has never been one to hold back his tongue when telling it how it is, and it would appear he isn’t going to start now. The X Factor judge stunned the audience at The Wendy Williams Show’s when he told host Wendy Williams: “Your t**s are huge!”
The host’s surgically enhanced breasts memorized the 52-year-old when he joined her on the couch of her show…For those out there who are wondering, and oh I know I was, Williams’ boobs boost a whooping 40DD chest. WOWZAS, that’s big!
Cowell went on to add that he thought they were “fantastic” and told Williams: “I bet you haven’t seen your feet in years.”
Simon has been doing the rounds on American chat shows to promote the U.S version of X Factor, and it seems he was rather impressed with former DJ turned top TV personality, telling her: “You look very cute. You’re actually better looking in real life. Not that you’re ugly on TV, but you are very attractive in real life. And TV doesn’t quite tell the real story about your body either.”
Nice! You just about dug yourself out of that one Si…
X Factor: U.S Critics Slam Steve Jones Labeling Him ‘Utterly Irrelevant’!
Posted on September 23rd, 2011 at 5:34 am by SBGLA
I was wondering how long it would take before the U.S media started tearing into X Factor host Steve Jones, after Simon Cowell handed the Welsh hunk the job of a lifetime.
Disappointingly, Jones’ performance on the show has received less-than-positive feedback, with reviewers who appear to be lining up to slam his presenting skills.
The 34-year-old ex-model was poised to become as big as American Idol star Ryan Seacrest, but so far hasn’t received many plaudits of the show, which launched in America on Wednesday night.
The New York Times has described Jones as ‘utterly irrelevant,’ while The Boston Herald‘s Mark A Perigard said he ‘is so far in the background, he might as well be on another network.’
Initially Jones was set to team up with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, but she has since moved to the judging panel after Cheryl Cole was axed from the position.
But to be fair on poor Jonesy, it is only the first week and most of what we saw on the fist show was filmed months ago, the real test for Steve will come when the show goes live. By then hopefully his nerves would have had time to calm down and we’ll get to see him shine the way us Brits have on telly back in the UK… Personally, I didn’t think ol’ Stevie-boy was all that bad!
Simon Cowell Admits Cheryl Cole Was Not Fit for American TV!
Posted on September 21st, 2011 at 3:26 pm by SBGLA
Simon Cowell recently revealed to Piers Morgan that the primary reason Cheryl Cole was ejected as a judge of the American version of The X Factor was because she was not smoothly adapting to presenting on American television.
Regarding his decision to remove Cole as judge, Cowell stated: “You come to a country like America, it’s a big deal – it takes a while to adjust and I took the view along with a few other people that she would be more comfortable back in the UK.” Cowell added: “That’s what you have to do when you produce – you have to make decisions in the moment, and I take full responsibility for it.”
Cowell also confirmed that Cole refused an offer to return to the British version of X Factor and that she also did not accept a job as judge of Britain’s Got Talent. Cowell’s revelations come after he has previously publicly apologized to Cole for her removal from the American singing competition program. Rumours have been floating around indicating Cole might become a judge on the upcoming UK edition of The Voice, but nothing has been set in stone.
If this rumour about Cole joining the UK version of The Voice is true, it would appear that she is still interested in being a singing judge, but not on a show associated with Cowell. Maybe Cheryl is concerned that any job offer she accepts from Simon will simply be terminated a few weeks later. It’s just business, eh Si?
Christina Aguilera to Replace Cheryl Cole on American X Factor!?!?
Posted on January 26th, 2011 at 11:40 am by
A rumor is spreading that Brit pop star Cheryl Cole, once thought to have a seat at the judge’s table of Simon Cowell’s new American X Factor TV program locked in, is not guaranteed a place on the show and that singer Christina Aguilera will be given the job instead.
An unnamed source, according to Independent Television News, revealed: “Although Simon is desperate for Cheryl to join him on the judging panel, bosses just aren’t convinced. Both Rihanna and Katy Perry have been mentioned as possible candidates, but neither would be able to take time out of their busy work schedule to be judges.”
The source added: “Christina is the one all bosses are agreed on. She has it all; looks, talent and she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She is a massive star globally and her voice is recognized as one of the best of all time so there really isn’t any competition especially where Cheryl is concerned.”
The Burlesque star recently performed on the UK version of the televised talent contest in December of 2010.
If the rumor is true, Cheryl is learning the hard way that nothing in Hollywood is set in stone. May the best pop diva win!
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.
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…
Cheryl Gets a Pie Thrown in Her Face!
Posted on November 11th, 2010 at 11:40 am by
Cheryl Cole helped raise £15,000 for charity at the recent Pride of Britain Awards by letting a boy smash a cream pie directly in her angelic face.
The lucky boy, called Cameron Small, was given the task because he won the Young Fundraiser of the Year Award for raising over £95,000 for the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
It is fun to see Cheryl’s typically well-groomed appearance get messy for once. The X Factor judge proved she can be a good sport who is willing to get dirty once in a while.
I reckon Cameron will not forget winning this reward for a very long time!

Chezza’s Small Surprise For Birthday Boy Si!
Posted on October 7th, 2010 at 1:39 pm by
What’s all this then? Is Simon Cowell auditioning for the role of Gulliver? Er, Noooo!
Earlier today, X Factor‘s Cheryl Tweedy (aka Chezza) gave her boss and fellow judge Simon a birthday gift he will never forget.
The ex-American Idol judge who turned 51 got the shock of his life when a gang of um… Lilliputians little people, wearing grey T-shirts that read “Happy Birthday, Love Cheryl,” serenaded Cowell outside the show’s studios in Lilliput London.
Knowing ‘shy Si,’ he’s not really one who handles being the center of attention too well, so I can only imagine his embarrassment when Chezza sprang the ‘trinket-sized’ surprise prank.
However, it seems Simon treated himself to a slightly bigger gift than the one Cheryl bought him, as later in the day he was spotted driving around in a brand new Ferrari California, a luxury car which comes with a price tag of around $230,000… And I know which gift I’d prefer!
Happy Birthday Si! I reckon, thanks to Chezza, you feel like a ‘big man’ now, eh?
