The week in gossip

The X Factor drama has dominated this week's headlines

The number one story in showbiz goss this week isnt how rough and pathetic those contestants on The Bachelor NZ are (although they totally are!) but the abrupt departure of Natalia Kills and Willy Moon from The X Factor NZ after just one live show.

The married judges, of course, werent backward in coming forward with their over the top criticism of X Factor hopeful Joe Irvine. The blowback was immense, and after protests from viewers, sponsors, and other celebrities TV3 sent the pair packing from their on-screen roles. New judges announced on Thursday drummer Shelton Woolwright and X Factor Australia judge Natalie Bassingthwaite.

As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you've copied my husband, Kills declared to Irvine after his performance.

From the hair to the suit, do you not have any value for respect for originality?

You're a laughing stock. It's cheesy, it's disgusting, I personally found it artistically atrocious, she continued.

I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion.

(None of us knew it, but apparently Willy Moon invented the phenomenon of performing wearing a suit with slicked back hair. Dont tell Frank Sinatra.)

Moon chipped in, telling Irvine his look was cheap and absurd and comparing him to famous big-screen psycho Norman Bates.
