Even though rumors have been swirling for months, E! reports that starlets Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have agreed to join the ‘X Factor‘ judge’s panel.

Anyone who has watched American Idol or listened to Kidd Kraddick In The Morning has come to know and love Tim Halperin.  Halperin first appeared on American Idol back on season season 10 in the top 24, and has since been featured on Kidd Kraddick numerous times including a segment entitled, ‘Idol Got it Wrong...

Britney Spears posted a note on her Facebook page revealing that she would be sharing some big news today (April 11.) Word around town is that the starlet is this close to cementing her deal to join ‘X Factor‘ as a judge for Season 2. The show has two judging panel vacancies and Brit’s name has been bandied about as a possibility for months now, with many reports indicating that she and the show w

‘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.

Good news, Avril Lavigne fans! Get ready to see more of the starlet if all goes to plan. The Canadian poppy-punkster is in talks to be a new ‘X Factor‘ judge.

Britney Spears is apparently such a fan of ‘X Factor,’ that she wants to become a judge on the show! A source close to Spears spoke to Us Weekly about the singer’s hopes to give her two cents on the judge’s panel on Simon Cowell‘s singing competition.

While ‘X Factor‘ fans will surely miss Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, their exits may be blessings in disguise. Rumor has it that Simon Cowell has his eye on two record setting pop divas to join his panel: Katy Perry and Mariah Carey!

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.

Call it a clash of the divas! Following a tumultuous first ‘X Factor‘ season, Nicole Scherzinger is rumored to be leaving … And to have a pretty pricey replacement: None other than the best selling female artist of all time, Mariah Carey, may fill the Over 30s judge’s designer shoes!

The gloves are off. With the debut season of ‘X Factor‘ in the rear view, nabbing significantly less viewers than ‘American Idol‘ expat Simon Cowell had hoped, and the 11th season of ‘Idol’ kicking off Jan. 18 (only to be tailed by ‘The Voice‘), producers are taking a few verbal swipes at the competition. And why not? ‘Idol’ has nearly double the viewers of ‘X Factor,’ due to an 11-year brand. Rea

Say it ain’t so, Scherzy! Following the excitement of the ‘X Factor‘ finale this week comes news that Over 30s judge Nicole Scherzinger may not return for season two.

America selected Melanie Amaro as the winner of the first-ever ‘X Factor.’ She edged out Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene, whose elimination was announced earlier this evening.
