Is Sharon Sashaying To Strictly?

Rumours, rumours, rumours.......

What was happening this time last year? Oh yes, Louis Walsh was SACKED! Lots of publicity taken away from the BBC's winter anchor show and placed firmly on to Simon Cowell's baby. Lots of money into his pocket and his Hollywood teeth have been paid for.

This year Sharon Cowell...Oh slip of the tongue, Sharon Osbourne - has allegedly asked for an extra £500,000 to do her judging thing. That amount may be more or less depending on which newspaper or website you read. You know what it is like - Chinese whispers, the amount gets bigger every time it is repeated. Missus Osbourne has also never got on with Dannii Minogue or so the media would have us believe? Again a ploy to get us watching? Yeah you know how it works. Alas the ploy backfired and Sharon has decided to leave the X Factor but not because of the money - That's just a RUMOUR.

A statement released by one of Sharon's publicity team said: "Sharon Osbourne announced today that after four fantastic and successful series of The X Factor she has decided to leave the show.
"Sharon would like to thank the wonderful British public for their enormous support during what's been an exciting ride. She would also like to take this opportunity to thank Simon Cowell and ITV while wishing them all the best for the next series. Sharon will be making no further comment."

So what is next for Missus Osbourne?
According to the Sun (and they even have a mocked up picture), Sharon, will be joining the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing team. Oh joy, I can't wait......I'd rather boil my head in acid than tolerate her dancing and screeching all in one show. Only major flaw for Sharon is that the dancers have to show expression and it may be very difficult for her with her plastic surgically induced face to show anything but shock.

But is this all true or a case of the publicity bandwagon rolling trying to take away coverage from Big Brother and other reality shows?

ITV have made an official statement:
"Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The X Factor after four fantastic years," an ITV spokesman said.
"ITV thanks her for her immense contribution to the show and for all her humour, compassion and energy. She has been a tremendous judge and mentor on the programme but we respect her wish to leave and wish her the very best with her future projects."

OK.....Bye then Sharon. Back to America is it?

Seems so, Sharon on Strictly is a bit of a laugh really and the truth is that she loves America and her life is mostly over there. She judges America's Got Talent and with her new face, she's bound to cash in on what it can bring her. With Simon as her mentor, she'll go far - Look at what he's doing for Leona Lewis!
