    I honestly hope he manages to get his life back on track after this and just turns it into a positive..the xfactor ruined him and hes well rid of it.

    Actually, in a strange roundabout way, The X Factor may have saved him. It's given him the opportunity to face up to what he's doing and the consequences of his actions.

    Not surprised.

    He needs to fund his lifestyle somehow.

    What an idiot! :rolleyes:

    No, he is a marketable commodity, no doubt with an agent and manager (X Factor or not). He will be moulded into a product, with endless interviews to come in dumb down weekly mags, designed to titilate his young girl audience. Then there is the Flash style quick appearances on TV along with Clubs and other venues. Nothing to test his ability to talk, entertain or sing, as this is not neccessary and will show him up anyway.

    You'll know when he has peaked, which will be with the release of a "take home your very own Frankie Doll" which you can undress and play with.

    It will all come to pass.

    :D

    The Frankie Doll will come with your very own tattoo kit to add your name, a must for any genuine fan. May even have life like nostrils for the more advanced purchaser. ;)

    Nothing honest about it, Frankie reinforcing the Sun newspaper by holding it up. Typical marketing and hype. The content has to be "sexed up" to grab interest, Frankie deivers via his agent / management a few one liners to suit the day. Frankie moves on to his next "gig", expect every Hello / Now type mag to shout Frankie exclusives each with a slightly different t!t bit thrown in.

    Frankie or someone is going to make a packet while he is still hot, then he 'll be dumped when his "freshness" wears off.

    The Sun are such hypocrites, as next week they will be slamming the growing rise in coke users.

    And if he really did say that he went mental last Saturday because he was "slagged off on stage" then he's clearly been taking lessons in the Gary Barlow School of Passing the Buck. I doubt he needed an excuse to go mental and he's basically blaming Louis for his bender. If he DID in fact say that at all.

    This just reinforces what an arrogant little twerp he is. He was somewhat funny in the auditions, then he just went downhill in my eyes from there, I took one look at the Sun front page and just rolled my eyes and closed it. I can't stand him.

    No big surprise there. I thought they had to sign some contract not to talk about the show afterwards?

    He's going to need to change his name, too. Who's going to employ him now? He's got a very memorable name, and the moment he introduces himself or they read his application form, he's screwed.

    Pathetic excuse given for his behaviour. He was not slagged off on stage. He was judged on his performance

    So Frankie sells his story to The Sun. What story? I can only imagine its going to be very dull about booze, drugs and conquests. Give it til Christmas and this lowlife will be completely forgotten.

    Why did he deserve the front page? Today is a very special day to remember others and I think the Sun could have chosen another story but that is the gutter press for you....

    Today's "news" tomorrow's fish and chip paper. I really hope this awful kid is forgotten very soon but I have a feeling that he is going to end up more successful than this year's winner in a Jedward kind of way.

    I thought Simon makes them sign a contract so they cant sell their story? can't remember where I heard that.
    Yes but this is probably orchestrated by the producers.
    Frankie is gonna say how it was his fault and his fault alone so the crappy X-factor Image starts to raise again...not that it isn't already too late for this.

    Even though he has quit I would have thought that he was still under contract until the end of this run so anything he does should be sanctioned by Syco.

    No he isnt, never believe the supposed vast sums bandied about regarding these zelebs, thats a ten grand interview, maybe 20 , of which his management take 20% and tax man takes a third.

    They are under cowells management company until the tour ends, so his company is getting a cut of what Frankie makes , its damage limitation from the x factor absolving themselves of blame, barring the obvious 'it was louis what did it' sub plot.

    I totally agree with you about the front page.

    I don't understand why the Sun felt the need to buy his story anyway. He wasn't that popular a contestant and if they want stories on people taking drugs at such a young age, they only have to look on the streets. I bet some of those kids have stories to tell too.

    He's not exactly a victim is he. Who wants to read his excuses for behaving like a total prat. Being 18 doesn't cut it with me. Jedward were 17, Eoghan even younger I think? Younger people than him were able to behave and show a bit of respect.

    I don't blame Frankie milking it for all it's worth. Wrong day though, extremely distasteful having that headline under a remembrance banner :(

    Chances are he'll never see the cash. Story-sellers seldom do.
