Apparently Fuller is accusing Cowell of producing a show (X-Factor) which is a derivitive of Pop Idol.

Cowell dismisses this as riduculous.

I am inclined to agree - I can't see any similarity between X-Factor and Pop Idol, or Fame Academy, or any others of this drvel these guys have inflicted upon the TV licence payer. They are all totally original and different to each other in every way...

So now they have fallen out over money. I hope it costs them a fortune in legal fees and in the end the judge tells them they have been wasting court time.

It's on MSN if that link doesn't work.


Am I being harsh?

I for one would be happy to see the back of programs such as these. I have stopped watching mainstream TV for the last few years because of crap like this.

Have a smiley for your trouble

Useless fact no1. The band name came from a Carter USM interview where JimBob said "One day, pop will eat itself"

Being pedantic I think it came from a Jamie Wednesday interview (the band that became Carter).

Did you see the Poppies on their last tour?

I could not agree more if you sugar coated it and dressed it in suspenders.

These programmes have actually made me avoid switching on BBC1 or ITV1 - just in case I catch a glimpse of the mind polluting garbage.
