What makes up the elusive X-factor – talent, charisma, style?
Simon Cowell reckons there’s another way to dazzle in the spotlight.
Flashing a blinding set of pearly whites.
He’s ordered the X Factor finalists to have laser treatment so their toothy-pegs are gleaming for the live shows, according to the Daily Mirror.
Simon himself has allegedly spent thousands on getting his own Hollywood smile after appearing in the US on American Idol.
Someone with less to smile about today are judges Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue who’ve had another public spat.
The Daily Star reports that following Louis' previous verbal attack on Dannii saying that she can’t hit a note and is only famous as Kylie’s sister, he's now gone on to plead ignorance, retorting: Dannii who?" when quizzed about her at a showbiz bash. Louis is supposedly still bitter at Dannii who he believes caused his pal, Sharon Osbourne, to quit the show last year.
Dannii hit back at Louis by accusing him of not knowing whether a singer is miming. She doesn’t deny that she and Sharon had a major bust-up but says it only happened after Sharon had decided to leave X Factor.
Maybe the warring judges should take a tip from Simon and get their teeth done. At least then they might be more tempted to smile at each other.
