DANNII SNUBS SHAZZADANNII Minogue has snub bed fellow X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne’s Christ mas bash, re-igniting rumours of a rift between the judges.
Sharon, 55, threw a swanky soirée at London’s DKNY store to celebrate the festive period.
But her X-Factor didn’t work with the A-listers.
Just a light sprinkling of showbiz names accepted Shazza’s hopeful invite.
What the Osbourne mat riarch got was a couple of telly faces in Paul O’Grady, 52, and presenter Claudia Wink leman, 35. Oh, and loyal old Louis Walsh, 55, showed up.
But there was no sign of X-Factor supremo Simon Cowell, 48. And dishy Dannii, 35, right, was the most notable absentee.
An insider explained: “Dannii had other commitments and knew it was Sharon’s party so didn’t want to deflect from that. The last thing Dannii wanted was to answer more questions about her relationship with the other judges.
“So she sensibly stayed at home drinking her favourite liquorice tea. But a few folk did raise eyebrows that she wasn’t there. And her absence did nothing to dispel reports of a feud.”
Sharon and Dannii were rumoured to have fallen out even before the first live X Factor went on air. We’re told Dannii’s far from happy that Louis often seems to back Sharon. Our mole added: “It’s had Dannii in tears backstage.”
Earlier this month, Dannii stormed off and sobbed after Louis, 55, was bitchy about her career.
Personally, we’d rather be in Cowell’s good books. We hear he’s splashed out on swanky watches for Leona Lewis, 22, and Westlife, and Shayne Ward, 23, is going snowboarding in Colorado.
Now Simon, dear boy, you know how much we love you, and our stockings are at the ready – so to speak.
