Dannii Minogue spoke with Marie Claire magazine about the prospects she and boyfriend Kris Smith will tie the knot after the birth of their baby son Ethan in July. “After you have a baby you do talk about stuff like getting engaged or getting married, and it has definitely come up a few times,” Minogue said. “But we’re not ready to make a big announcement like Kate and William.”

Dannii Minogue is opening with her new book ‘My Story’ about her time on ‘The X Factor’ which began with a verbal tirade from Sharon Osbourne minutes before her first live show on the ITV program. While Dannii was having her make-up finished, Sharon stormed in and read her the riot act over gossip from the British tabloids. “I tried reasoning with her. ‘Sharon, they are just stupid press stories about a non-existent feud. All I’ve ever done is tell people how much I admire you but they don’t want to print it,'” Dannii explained. “‘Oh, don’t play the innocent,’ Sharon spat. ‘Cos if you wanna play games, Missy, I’ll play… don’t you worry, I’ll play!’ I froze in my chair as furious Sharon came towards me. I turned to look at my friends Terry and Mark, whose mouths had fallen open in horror. Then I caught a glimpse of my make-up girl Karen, who was frozen, holding a mascara wand in mid-air.”

Additional excerpts from the book at newsoftheworld.co.uk have since been removed.

Dannii Minogue is featured on the cover of Who magazine, where the pregnant Australian singer reveals she could get “addicted” to pregnancy. “I thought it was absolutely going to freak me out, the whole body change and hormonal change. But I am loving it,” the 38-year-old ‘X Factor’ judge said. Dannii is one of the 25 people on the mag’s Most Beautiful People 2010 list. Read more.

Will Pregnancy Force Dannii To Leave ‘The X Factor’?

February 23, 2010 - The Mirror reports that Dannii Minogue said at last night’s Elle Style Awards she probably won’t be appearing on the new season of ‘The X Factor’ due to her pregnancy. “If they’re auditioning in the hospital in Australia, yes, but otherwise no,” Minogue said, according to the British tabloid. “I will totally miss Cheryl and Louis and Simon, and not being there for the auditions, but I really need to be near my family in Australia at such an important time.”

But Dannii seems to indicate otherwise to her Twitter followers (@DanniiMinogue) moments ago:

I have not quit #TheXFactor! If possible I would love to be a part of the live shows and continue to fly the Team Minogue flag.
