In a TV interview with Piers Morgan, X Factor judge Dannii Minogue was brought to tears as she discussed her divorce, big sister Kylie's cancer and the possibility of having children.
Here are some HIGHlights:
On her 1994 marriage to Nip-Tuck actor Julian McMahon:
“He was a wild guy, he liked having fun, being a bit crazy and goofy and we enjoyed each other’s friends. And for me, I thought that’s all you want out of a relationship. I really wish I could see what some of those other people saw, that, ‘this isn’t going to work’. I so wish I had a magic ball.”
On why the marriage ended:
“I don’t think there’s any one thing. We’re very different, but I felt like a failure and I hate that. I thought, ‘How could I have not seen it coming, the marriage not working?’”
On the breakup:
“I felt scared. It wasn’t about trusting others… I didn’t trust my instincts.” And asked if she
On her Playboy shoot:
“It was liberating. I thought ‘Damn, you look alright.’ It was their biggest seller.”
On news that Kylie had cancer:
“All I wanted to do was get inside the door and see my gorgeous sister and hug her and it was like trying to get through these barriers… because everybody loves Kylie and wanted to know, ‘Is she ok?’ But as a family member it made it more difficult. You just go to another depth. I would describe it, rather than closeness, a depth.”
On wondering if Kylie's disease would win:
“No. I never thought of it. You don’t. The proper one is the five-year all-clear, we’re not there yet. In my head it’s not going to come back.”
On having kids:
“I’ve never been maternal. I almost thought I was going to escape it, and now I’m in a relationship that is just so right, maybe I have to think about it.”
Simon Cowell is celebrating his 50's birthday on Wednesday and the Brit had an early birthday party this weekend in England.
And from what we've heard, it was a lot of racy fun with a sort of Moulin Rogue theme to it.
One act included a performer dressed as a woman's privates who went on stage and pretended to use several sex toys. Inneresting.
We can only image what his 82-year-old mother, Julie, thought of the whole thing!
Simon's publicist and friend, Max Clifford, revealed: “It was a brilliant party, some parts of it had an outrageously camp theme. The funniest thing was seeing Simon trying to explain it to his mum, who was there with a priest and some of her friends from church. She asked what it was and he told her it was a sideways mouth and a toothbrush but it was very suggestive and it was very clear what it was supposed to be"
Another show included an almost fully naked woman doing a reverse strip, where she went on stage and dressed herself.
After much speculation, it was announced on Wednesday that X Factor judge Dannii Minoguewill be returning for the third season of the the show.
Minogue morphed into a jealous bitch last year when she believed her younger X Factor judge, Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, was stealing her thunder!
There were even reports of Dannii getting the boot because she "no longer [served] a purpose" on the program.
Meow!
Well, head judge Simon Cowell was more than determined to get Minogue back on the show and the production shoved a $1.7 million dollar contract her direction!!
Vogue's doing a good job these day of getting the celebs to say juicy shiz!
There was Maniston's 'uncool' snark in a December interview and in the February UK edition, they have Girls Aloud's Cheryl Cole talking smack!
Cheryl soccer star husband, Ashley Cole, famously cheated on her last year. She tells Vogue that her supposed friend and fellow WAG, Victoria Beckham, failed to support her and reach out when she needed her most:
"She [Victoria] was in my hotel room during the World Cup - we've had barbecues together - so I was quite shocked by that. I mean, David's mum is friends with Ashley's mum."
And Posh knows a thing or two about cheating scandals!
Cheryl, the pistol that she is, went on to refer to the 'other' WAGS as "wooden blocks".
Ha!!
When the interviewer asked for her thoughts on rockspawn Peaches Geldof, Miz Cole replied, she was "totally up herself".
No questions about her X Factor co-host , Dannii Minogue?
Did you know that Cheryl was convicted of 'causing Actual Bodily Harm' back in 2003 after a fight at a nightclub?!
If one of the ladies she talks crap about has any issues, we're sure Cheryl would be more than happy to address them face-to-face!
Following Britney'sblahlip-syncing performance on X Factor last month, host Dannii Minogue is now saying that she and fellow co-hosts Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Colebehaved like "naughty school children" lining up outside the singer's dressing room to meet her.
Dannii said she was disappointed when the Britster didn't say hello to the show's final 5 contestants, saying that she "thought 'what a shame because you've just crushed those contestants'" adding, "She didn't have to be like that."
Dannii Minogue chose to speak with the UK's News of the World about the X Factor buzz that she may be getting fired from the show at the end of this season.
She's set the record straight and says that Simon Cowell has assured her that there WILL be a job for her next year.
However, Dannii slammed Si pretty hard in the interview.
We wonder if this little outburst will cost Dannii her j-o-b!
“This year has been very emotional and I admit I’ve struggled to deal with it all, especially with Simon, who is the biggest diva on the show. Mariah Carey doesn’t even compare to him! I guess Simon and I don’t talk much any more, definitely nothing like last year when I was next to him on the panel and was also the new girl. He moved me away from him and now sits next to Cheryl (Cole) and is in her ear all the time. It is a snub but I’m fine. It’s nothing compared to what I had to go through last year.”
The hellish situation Dannii namechecks has to do with Sharon Osbourne. When Sharon was part of the X Factor, she made Dannii's life super hard on and off the show (Miz Osbourne liked to rag on Dannii in interviews). One of the many things that pissed Sharon off was that she believed Simon hired Dannii simply because 'he fancied her, rather than for her music abilities.'
Cheryl will see one day, like you have, Dannii, that ageism hurts!
It sucks to see the new, pretty young thing take your place!
Poor Dannii Minogue might be on her way out of the UK reality competition show, X Factor because the show suits think, "she no longer serves a purpose".
According to the Daily Mail, an 'impeccable' source said, "Dannii was brought in to initially to be the younger counterpart to Sharon (Osbourne), but since Cheryl Cole arrived, she has replaced Dannii in that role and become much more popular."
Yikes!
Since Cheryl's meteroric rise in popularity has left Dannii's job in doubt we're seeing a cat fight on the horizon!
While she's at it, she should wrestle out her beef with Sharon O, too.
