Well we hope most of you have because to be honest we can?t be arsed to go into too much detail about it (lazy, us?) but to cut a long story short basically the person who wrote it claims he/she works quite high up in Sony, and they allege that BGT this year has been fixed so that Ronan Parke wins the competition.
In fact they claim that the youngster was scouted long ago by Simon Cowell?s people and has spent the last few years being ?groomed? by them into becoming a tween British popstar sensation a la Justin Bieber style. They (allegedly allegedly allegedly ? was that enough allegedlys to please the lawyers? Okay here?s a couple more, allegedly allegedly ? that should do it) sculpted his image down to the very last detail before putting him on BGT as his launching pad into superstardom.
It?s also alleged that SyCo set up Ronan?s Facebook fanpage to coincide with his appearance on the show in order to give him maximum exposure.
There are plenty more accusations made in the blog ? which you can read here ? but rather than ignore the claims, Cowell?s spokespeople have released a statement today sternly denying the allegations. They said:
"There has been speculation on the internet that Britain's Got Talent finalist Ronan Parke was known to and worked with Syco/Sony Music before entering the show. There is no truth in this story whatsoever."
"Ronan first came to Syco/Sony's attention when he entered this year's competition. Syco/Sony Music will not hesitate to take whatever legal action is appropriate to prevent further publication of these unfounded allegations."
We?re not sure how much more we can say really without getting sued so moving swiftly on.
P.s. Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly.

Justin Bieber is known for making his fans scream their heads off whenever he's around, so it's no surprise that he's up for Best Jaw Dropping Moment at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards for his 3-D concert spectacular "Never Say Never."
When MTV News caught up with two-time MTV Movie Awards host Jimmy Fallon on the Universal Studios lot, just a stone's throw from the Gibson Amphitheatre where Sunday's show will take place, he explained Bieber's jaw-dropping abilities.
"Bieber is just so jaw-dropping because Bieber in 2-D is enough, [but] Bieber in 3-D? Hold on to your horses," he said of the pop superstar, who is up against James Franco ("127 Hours"), Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page ("Inception"), Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") and Steve-O ("Jackass 3D"). "It's insane."
Fallon, the new host of Universal Studios Hollywood's behind-the-scenes Studio Tour, knows a thing or two about the Movie Awards, since he co-hosted with Kirsten Dunst in 2001 and returned solo in 2005. He's pretty sure fellow "Saturday Night Live" funnyman Jason Sudeikis, who is tapped to host the show this year, has it in the bag when it comes to hosting.
"It's exciting. The Movie Awards are the most fun. Jason Sudeikis is a great host; he's going to be great at it," he said. "I've hosted in the past. I hosted with Kirsten Dunst. It's just a blast. MTV just brings the fun back into movies."
Sudeikis may already know what he's doing, but he did add some words of encouragement for his buddy: "Jason, you know what to do, buddy. Kick some butt over there."

Since film fans made "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" the most nominated film leading into the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, we had to return the favor with some "Twilight" goodies during the big show.
"Twilight" leading lady Kristen Stewart and her main men, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will be presenting an exclusive clip from the saga's highly anticipated fourth film, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," during the awards show, airing Sunday live at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
For the die-hard "Twilight" fans who've been following all the news about "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" — for which we compiled this handy guide — the exclusive clip premiering during the Movie Awards will be the very first video from the film. Up until now, we've had to make do with production photos, teaser art and posters.
MTV News recently caught up with Elizabeth Reaser, who plays Cullen matriarch Esme, to get her take on filming the two-part "Twilight" finale. "There was a lot of emotion," she said during an MTV Sneak Peek Week screening of her latest movie, "The Art of Getting By." "I mean, [for] months we had been through so much different weather craziness [in all different locations that] we were in denial of it the whole time."
She recalled saying goodbye to the epic five-movie saga while shooting the highly anticipated Edward/Bella wedding scene, even though her work on the film wasn't quite over; she had to stick around a bit longer to finish up some shooting on the film. "Suddenly, we were on the dance floor at the wedding, and it was suddenly over," she said. "It's also 7 in the morning, and we had been shooting all night, so it was this weird, surreal experience. We were all in shock."
Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner will be in good company, when they grace the MTV stage. They join previously announced presenters and attendees, including Nicki Minaj, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Selena Gomez, Emma Stone, Cameron Diaz, Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy, Shia LaBeouf, Ryan Reynolds and Josh Duhamel.
"Eclipse" leads the pack of 2011 MTV Movie Awards nominees with eight nods, including Best Movie, Best Fight and Best Kiss. "Inception" snagged the second-most nominations (seven), followed by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1," which received six nods.

Elizabeth Reaser recalls nerves on set before the 'Twilight' ceremony.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — There are plenty of scenes from Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn" that fans are looking forward to seeing translated to the big screen (and a few we might have to cover our eyes for). But the moment most can't wait to catch a glimpse of is the long-awaited wedding between Edward and Bella, shot earlier this year as the cast and crew wrapped up years of filming the entire "Twilight Saga."
Elizabeth Reaser (who plays vampire matriarch Esme Cullen) said it was an emotional moment on the set when Kristen Stewart walked down the aisle as Bella, anticipating her transition from her old life as a human to becoming a member of the vampire Cullen clan.
"Well, the wedding scene was like a real wedding, in that it was stressful. It took a lot of planning, a lot of organization. That was stuff we were all dealing with [and it was like] you were planning a real wedding," she told MTV News before screening and chatting about "The Art of Getting By" for MTV's Sneak Peek Week.
"And the nerves ... I mean, there was an added element of nervousness when we were shooting it, maybe because there were helicopters and people jumping out of trees with cameras, but it was definitely a heightened couple of days on set," she continued, alluding to the paparazzi who were stalking the set, hoping to capture the shoot before its official release. "It took several days to shoot, and at a certain point you don't want to be in a corset anymore."
In the end, it was worth the uncomfortable clothing and obnoxious press.
"But it was really magical, and vampires aren't supposed to cry, and that created a real obstacle for all of us vampires," Reaser said. "Seeing Kristen walk down with aisle with [her movie dad] Billy Burke. I mean, seeing Billy Burke killed me. I understood in that moment what it's like to be a parent and seeing Kristen and see her really be nervous and see Rob really, really be nervous, and the two of them [together with] the families coming together; it was an emotional day for real."
