X Factor's Dannii And Sharon 'Hated Each Other'

X Factor finalists Same Difference have confirmed that judges Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne “hated the sight of each other”.
Osbourne has now left the show, with fellow judge Louis Walsh commenting earlier this month that Sharon quit because of the antipathy she felt towards the singer.
Now brother and sister due Sean and Sarah Smith have confirmed the rivals were constantly warring on the hit ITV talent show.
Sean tells The People, “It was brimming with tension. Basically they hated the sight of each other."
Sarah added, “When you've got two ladies who are very similar, you get clashes."
Sean says he will be intrigued by how Sharon’s replacement, Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole, will fares on the show.
“I'm looking forward to seeing Dannii and Cheryl - who knows what will happen," he ponders.

Having played aboveboard hard stone with Mr. Big since the quarter end of the '80s, bass superstar Billy Sheehan formed Niacin as an outlet for his jazz fusion and prog stone inclinations during the mid-'90s. The threesome as well featured keyboardist John Novello and drummer Dennis Chambers, both musicians world Health Organization had crossed frequently between the worlds of jazz and rock music during their careers. With Niacin, Novello devoted himself particularly to the Hammond B-3 organ, a longtime mainstay of both jazz and prog stone. The isthmus recorded a self-titled debut record album in 1996, following it up in 1998 with High Bias. An import-only concert recording, Live!: Blood, Sweat and Beers, surfaced by and by that year as advantageously. For their next album, Niacin moved from Stretch to Magna Carta, the label that became virtually synonymous with technique-oriented neo-prog stone at the turn of the millenary.

New, Hi-def Movies May Come To Cable

The major studios plan to offer high-definition movies on cable and satellite on demand even before they are released on DVD and Blu-ray. As reported by Video Business, the MPAA has filed a petition with the FCC seeking permission to use anti-copying encryption, currently barred by FCC regulations, for the high-definition video service. "In order to make this extremely high-value content available for in-home viewing at such an early window, protections are necessary to deter unauthorized copying or redistribution of the content," the MPAA petition said. Few details about the high-definition service were included in the petition, which said merely that if it is approved, "each film studio will make its own decision about how, when and with which partners it might use this option."
