Music mogul Simon Cowell is reportedly set to give pregnant Dannii Minogue a nasty shock, by slashing her pay by £300,000 for The X Factor this year, while he hands rival judge Cheryl Cole a £700,000 rise.
If these figures are true, it would mean that Cheryl will earn £1.7 million for the next series while Dannii will take home a measly £700,000.
But the News of the World reveals today that Cowell wanted to sack Dannii from the show because of her popularity and her pregnancy. Simon’s brother Tony told the tabloid: “He’s always the first person who wants to change it up. That’s part of his genius. He doesn’t let a show go stale. I think he did want to change the panel this year. But I think he might have mis-read the appeal and popularity of Dannii.“

80′s singer Sinitta who sang ‘So macho’ and who is very close to Simon Cowell has admitted that she would love Cheryl Cole to become a judge on the US version of The X Factor and she hopes the Girls Aloud star doesn’t turn it down.
She told BANG Showbiz: “I think Cheryl would be amazing but I don’t know whether she’s agreed or who’s definitely on board.”
As Cowell and Sinitta are really close she is almost certain that she will be a part of the TV series.
She said: “Let’s put it this way. I’ve already asked Simon and he’s said it shouldn’t be a problem, which I’m taking as a yes. It wasn’t really a yes but I’m taking it as one!”
