LEONA LEWIS FINDS FACTOR FUNNY

Leona Lewis, who won UK TV talent show 'The X Factor' in 2006, loves the rivalry between the judges on the show.

Leona Lewis thinks the rivalry between 'The X Factor' judges is funny.

The British songstress - who won the 2006 version of the talent competition - finds it amusing that people think female judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue don't get on, and is confident it is untrue.

She explained: "I find the Cheryl versus Dannii thing on 'The X Factor' funny. My friends will say, 'Gosh, Cheryl and Dannii - they must really hate each other.' And I'm like, 'How do you know this? It's not true!'

"I guess it sells. In the past, I've had it where someone may or may not have said something and it's been in the press. But I don't respond, especially not when it's women being pitted against women."

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old starlet - who is currently living in Los Angeles while she works on new material - says music mogul Simon Cowell has been terrific since she won the show.

She explained: "He's still a mentor. I go to him for advice, and if I need anything, he's cool. His new place is like something out of James Bond - so modern. Seriously, he's like 007. He has a cinema room. It's insane!"
