According to reports, Louis Walsh is neglecting Girls Aloud because he's too busy doing X-Factor. Band member Sarah Harding is quoted by New magazine as saying: "Louis is still our manager, but he's very busy doing what he does - being a celebrity! We have brought in Hilary Shaw to be more hands on with the group. Louis is more used to dealing with boy bands!"
The singer added that Walsh's spats with Simon Cowell were all "pantomime". Which is why I always think "I'm never going to report on one of their spats again". But then I do. Because I am a sucker.
