Reject Rejects Tour
For a show which we profess to dislike, we seem unable to actually stop ourselves writing about it every other day, which is why we bring you further X Factor based news, this time regarding the tour. It seems that Verity, of weepy housewife with an OK voice 'fame', is thinking about boycotting this. She's in a bit of a strop as she feels that she was unfairly treated on the show and is a bit miffed because Simon refused to give her a record contract on the not unreasonable basis that no-one would actually buy her records. Those of us with a vague grounding in reality would, if in a similar situation, no doubt go "Ah well, fair enough, I am a bit rubbish when you get down to it, but at least the tour'll be a bit of a laugh", but not Verity, who seems to genuinely believe she's some sort of star in waiting, and so is threatening to pull out, somehow believing that people would actually care.
Naturally, the show's producers are desperate to get her back on board, presumably realising that without her on the line-up they risk losing one ninth of the potential audience for the gig - that of her family and friends.
