No Posh For X Factor

Simon Cowell has denied reports that Victoria Beckham will
join the judges panel for the next series of X Factor.

In response to the rumours, Cowell said: "It's total rubbish. I don't know
where she got the idea from but it's not right. I have never asked her on to
the show."

Shame.

Meanwhile, current X Factor judge Louis Walsh has apparently been
given a big fat pay-rise to keep him from leaving the show. According to The
Sun, the Irish pop mogul has received a 100,000 payrise after signing for
the next series.

"After a bit of negotiation, I've signed up," The Sun quotes Louis as
saying. "I had to point out how much they need me.

"It's not just me and the musical knowledge that I bring, it's the acts that
I back and who make it. Look at Shayne and G4. I make things happen for the
show. Simon knows that."

Shayne Ward is currently sitting pretty at number one with 'That's My
Goal'.
