Kimberley 'calls the shots' on Cheryl, Nadine, Simon AND Olly


If you're not already aware, Girls Aloud's delightful Kimberley Walsh writes a very entertaining column every week in OK Magazine where she lets us, the dear readers, know what she's been up to. She also uses it as a platform to share her views on various celeb dilemnas and to clear up any important Girls Aloud-related issues when they arise.

The new issue of the magazine is out today, and I've got to say, this week's column is Pure Win. It's literally jam packed with everything you could want. Let's have a little run-down:

Cheryl and The X Factor - 'Cheryl's fine - it isn't a huge deal for her'. This is very good to hear - we like to know that everything is all ship-shape and hunky dory in CherylWorld.

'From a selfish point of view, I'm glad I can pop round again for a cup of tea!' - What will it be? Milk and two sugars Chezza?

Nadine and Jason's split - 'Nadine is a strong person and a strong woman in relationships so I know she'll be ok' - This is also very reassuring. This is the GA girls sticking together and backing each-other up - they are, after all, a force to be reckoned with.

Simon - 'Simon displayed some almighty hevage recently' - OMG what is hevage?! I have to thank Kimberley for introducing this word to me - because reading this about Simon had me in fits of laughter. It's so true too! I think every one of us who's ever sat down to watch Britain's Got Talent or X Factor has been full of critique over Simon's 'style' choices, so it's fun to imagine our Kimba sat there too doing the same.

Olly Murs - Here Kimberley talks about those rumours that she was being considered for a role on the Xtra Factor. She says 'I think it would've been fun but I couldn't have seen myself doing it with Olly'. Yes - Because we all know Kimberley and Matt Edmondson would have been the best combo by far for the show.

Frankie and Kimberley in the X Factor pipeline?


As two of my favourite popstars, I got rather excited when rumours started circulating that Frankie Sandford might become a judge on X Factor and that Kimberley Walsh would replace Konnie Huq presenting the Xtra Factor.

Talk about girl band domination! This would be quite literally amazing. One member of The Sats, one member of Girls Aloud. Brilliant pop would be in full force on the UK's biggest TV show.

In The Sun's take on the story, they report Frankie "is said to have impressed producers with her forthright opinions and striking looks." A 'show source' apparently added: "Frankie has all the right ingredients for an X Factor judge - she looks great, she can hold her own and she's been there."

This what we love about Frankie; she looks absolutely amazing, is super stylish and isn't afraid to speak her mind. All the qualities you'd want from an X Factor judge, with the added strength that I think she'd bring a youthful new 'cool' vibe to the show. A year after 'auto-tune gate' and all that Gamu business, a shot of 'cool' is precisely what X Factor needs. Frankie's also popular with the more indie/rock crowd, featuring on the Kids in Glass Houses track Undercover Lover.

And as for Kimberley? Well, she's really come into her own with her presenting roles for the brilliant Suck My Pop and the other assorted jobs she's cropped up on in the past year. She's found her confidence in it and the Xtra Factor would present the next logical step. She's got that warm, comforting demeanor too which is ideal for supporting the unfortunate soul who's been booted out that week.

An 'insider' revealed: "Kimberley was worried that she wouldn’t be suitable for the role with Cole as a judge, as she may have been biased towards her acts but now Cheryl is off to America she feels it is the perfect opportunity. Cheryl has put in a good word for her and bosses were impressed after seeing her present Suck My Pop last year. It’s pretty much a done deal”

Of course, all of this might be completely untrue... but just like the Rihanna stuff a few days ago, we can all dream...
