Simon Cowell has reportedly decided to take a different approach to the X Factor USA line this year.
The music mogul is currently trying to firm up his judging panel, ahead of the first auditions dates this summer but after a season of poor ratings in 2012 he apparently knows that some things have to change.
Simon Cowell may have found himself yet another femme fatale for his new series of The X Factor USA.
The music mogul has been on the hunt for stars, ever since Britney Spears and L.A. Reid departed the show earlier this year and as he heads towards the first judges auditions next month, the only two people confirmed for his celebrity panel are himself and Demi Lovato.
Will.i.am is hosting a Google+ hangout this afternoon with the lovely Britney Spears, Nicole Scherzinger and Miley Cyrus.
The Voice coach collaborated with the ladies on his brand new album #willpower and to celebrate it’s release today, he is hosting an online live chat event, where he and his pals will answer questions posed by fans and social media supporters.
Will.i.am has revealed that Britney Spears took inspiration from Tulisa Contostavlos on her recent collaboration for his album.
The Black Eyed Peas star originally recorded his song ‘Scream and Shout’ with the English N Dubz star but later decided to replace her with mum of two Spears.
Will.i.am has been busy working on his solo album for months and this afternoon he finally confirmed the tracklisting for the new record.
As promised, the album is packed with collaboration with some of the biggest music stars in the world and we have to admit, after reading that list, if we were auditioning for The Voice we would be fighting tooth and nail to land a place in Team Will. Just to get an invite to his parties if nothing else!
Cheryl Cole could be just about to get the sweetest revenge on Simon Cowell, by making a grand return to the show he sacked her from two years ago.
Insiders say that the music mogul has been forced to eat humble pie and has offered the Girls Aloud beauty millions to come back to the X Factor USA, when the new series begins later this year.
US rap star, P Diddy, has made a ‘come and get me offer’ to Simon Cowell regarding the current vacant X Factor judging jobs, according to the Sun newspaper!
And with the recent sackings of both Tulisa Contostavlos from the UK version of the hit talent show, and that of Britney Spears from the US show, he may just get taken up on it.

Britney Spears recently revealed that she would NOT be returning to The X Factor USA for a second year on it’s judging panel and it seems that Simon Cowell may have lined up a big named replacement.
The music mogul is really up against it, as L.A. Reid also vacated his seat, leaving the TV boss with two spots to fill, ever conscious that he desperately needs to boost ratings on the new series after the viewing figures fell once again in 2012.
We reported recently that X Factor judge Tulisa is apparently suing The Voice coach Will.i.am after he released his new track Scream & Shout having effectively cut her out of it.
Tulisa claimed that she’d written a line for the song, and was reportedly unimpressed then that not only was she not featuring in the video, but her place was taken by former X Factor USA judge, Britney Spears.
But today, it’s been reported that Will has hit back at Tulisa’s anger by remixing the song, and just to p*** her off that bit more, he’s had Britney styled to resemble the chav-like Tulisa. Read more & comment »
There are currently two free seats on the X Factor USA judging panel and Demi Lovato knows who she wants sitting alongside her this year.
L.A. Reid confirmed before the end of the last series that he wouldn’t be returning for a third run, as he wants to get back to managing his record label. Weeks ago Britney Spears revealed that she was leaving too, though there was a LOT of speculation that the ‘Toxic’ singer merely jumped before she was pushed.
