Matt Cardle Wins 'The X Factor'

One need only glance over today's new UK chart to see how relevant winning The X Factor is. Last year's winner, Joe McElderry, just landed at #68 with his latest single "Someone Wake Me Up."

Cheers, then, to Matt Cardle, who trumped all others in the series tonight. He was mentored by Dannii Minogue, who last saw a winner the whole way through back in 2007, when Leon Jackson triumphed—and, well, we know how well that turned out in the end.

Anyway, Matt—who I wouldn't fuck with a vacuum hose—will have his cover of Biffy Clyro's "Many Of Horror" out there this week in the UK as his winner's song. Jesus. That's like Satan wishing the entire country with a pitchfork up the ass. Have fun with that.

Kylie Minogue Gets A Standing Ovation On Australia's 'Dancing With The Stars'

Not only did Kylie Minogue belt out her Aphrodite hit "All The Lovers" on Australia's Dancing With The Stars last night, she also "outed" her parents along with sister Dannii Minogue's babydaddy Kris Smith, who were all sitting in the audience.

In Australia, "All The Lovers" peaked at #14 on the ARIA chart (and is currently at #29). In the UK, the single hit #3, while in the U.S. it jumped from #10 to #4 last week on the Billboard Hot Dance Songs chart.
