Osbourne to be axed from 'X Factor'?
Simon Cowell is considering whether to axe Sharon Osbourne from X Factor.

The 47-year-old, who created the talent show's format for ITV, is still furious with Sharon for getting involved in a bust-up with Chris Tarrant in front of shocked audience members last month. He also believes that Osbourne's comments in the third series were not witty or memorable enough to warrant her huge salary.

"I have never seen Simon so angry as he was after Sharon's row with Chris," a show source told The People. "Despite his image, Simon hates rude behaviour.

"He has become increasingly disappointed with both Louis and Sharon. He wants X Factor judges to come out with comments that viewers will remember. He feels they could do better on the show and it could be time for a change."

Osbourne's future on the show was previously questioned following her tirade against Steve Brookstein in the series one final.
