The Event: X Factor Auditions Days 2
The Venue: LG Arena, Birmingham
The VIPs: Kelly Rowland (above), Tulisa Contostavlos, Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Dermot O'Leary and Olly Murs
The Gossip:
1) The first to materialize from the judge’s Birmingham inn in a mini dress with a neon pink print was N-Dubz’s Tulisa Contostavlos. A contrast from her day one threads (below).
2) But day two saw Kelly Rowland as Commander of the fashion fracas jumping into a printed maxi-dress and tan wedges from Olivia Rubin’s S/S 2011 collection.
3) But enough with the trend teasing, let’s converse Cheryl. Fresh face on the panel Tulisa seemed befuddled discussing her predecessor, saying “The Cheryl thing is a mystery to me.”
4) In the meantime following her brusque dismissal from the US X Factor, a US producer of the show claimed “It has been a tough week for everyone involved with the series, not just Cheryl. Simon feels he has been made to look like the bad guy in all of this, when all he’s done is offer someone a job"
The supplier uninterruptedly continued "He moved heaven and earth for that girl, effectively offering to double her salary to take up a role on the UK show. Obliviously he feels responsible for Cheryl and regrets the way some of this has played put. But at the same time, Simon won’t be losing sleep over someone who has just rejected a multi-million pound job offer.”
