Ah Tulisa Contostavlos. She was flying high with that Little Mix X Factor victory and everyone thought she had another year in the bag with Ella Henderson, but now it's looking like she won't even live to fight another series.
The Sun is reporting that Cowell and Co are bored of their little fledgling and her 'urban roots', and have decided to axe her from the judging panel for the next series. In fact nobody's safe except Nicole 'No baby no' Scherzinger. In fairness though, she is pretty JAHMAZING.
"Quite apart from her performance on last year's show, you can't have a singer whose album only reached number 35 in the charts sitting in judgement on other singers. Tulisa has been on the panel for two years. She had a good run, but all good things come to an end", a 'source' close to the production said apparently.
Meanwhile, Simon's fighting hard to keep our own Louis Walsh on board for another year. "He will fight tooth and nail to keep him on the show", an 'insider' alleged. Ah Simon, sure you remind us a young Bernard Dunne now so y'do. But what about Gary Barlow? Well, word on the street is he's still a maybe, and they want to bring in Robbie Williams for a bit of judges table panto.
We ain't gonna call this one until word comes from the man himself.
