x factor

Demi Lovato may be new to the ‘X Factor‘ panel, but she handles her judging duty like an old pro. Case in point: She politely and tactfully chewed out two contestants who made really inappropriate remarks about drugs during an audition.

When you pay someone a reported $15 Million to judge a show, one would expect the start to have huge demands backstage too, right? Well, Britney Spears certainly delivers when it comes to her demands off stage for "X-Factor."

That's what the latest buzz on the internet is saying. Many blogs are saying that Simon Cowell has signed on Britney to be a judge on "X-Factor" but no official announcement has been made.

Sorry, Simon Cowell — our girl Britney Spears doesn’t come cheap. The ‘Til the World Ends’ singer reportedly rejected a whopping $10 million to be on the ‘X Factor‘ judging panel.

‘X Factor,’ in effort to revamp the show and boost ratings, cleaned house earlier this year, firing half the judging panel and its host. Names like Beyonce and Mariah Carey were tossed around as possible replacements (and for huge sums of money), and now another female big gun is a frontrunner: Britney Spears. Word is Brit was offered a cool $10 million for a slot on the show.

Britney Spears is reportedly interested in taking a judging seat on the next season of ‘X Factor,’ and now Simon Cowell is responding to the claims. The show is currently looking to replace ousted judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger.

It may seem like we have plenty of singing competition shows on TV already, but I think Simon Cowell is on to something with his latest idea.

Whitney Houston was being considered as a new judge for ‘X Factor,’ but after her unexpected death, Janet Jackson is reportedly in preliminary talks to join the hit FOX show.

The axe — or is that the ‘X’ — fell at ‘X Factor‘ yesterday (Jan. 31), with judge Nicole Scherzinger being fired, along with host Steve Jones. Sources indicate that judge Paula Abdul was also cut. Word is producers and Simon Cowell were looking to make a fresh start for the show, whose ratings fell below expectations on Season 1.

It never fails. Some people get to wrapped up into what's going on with the T.V. they forget that it is a competition. Astro and Drew were eliminated on "X Factor" last week. Hardcore fans of Drew are taking to Facebook and Twitter to share their personal thoughts.
