Simon Cowell really is getting the hang of this whole Twitter thing isn’t he.
Every now and again the X Factor boss comes online and has a bit of a spree on the social networking site and this morning he used it to offer some advice for hopeful auditionees.
X Factor UK judge, Tulisa Contostavlos has commented that she thinks Simon Cowell’s decision to make ‘fragile’ Britney Spears a judge on the US version of the show, X Factor USA.
According to Digital Spy, the N-Dubz singer, who is currently screening auditions in her second series in the job, has branded Britney, who has had a series of very public, shall we say episodes, as a “wild Card”.

Is it just a coincidence that Simon Cowell can’t seem to attract or keep judges for his reality shows lately? I don’t think so!
After months of trying to replace Destiny’s Child singer, Kelly Rowland, on the X Factor since she left the show last year, Cowell has been linked to several names with regards to the fourth and vacant judging seat on the popular singing show, with no appointment being made, resulting in the audition stages being started with a string of guest judges, some of which have been questionable at best.
And who would wonder why, given that the career expectancy of a judge on one of his shows is approximately 1 series, or week in Cheryl Cole’s case, with the likes of Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Cole all sacked during or by the end of their first series in the hot seat in the X Factor USA.
But now, it would seem, that he has more to worry about than just the empty X Factor seat, which was even turned down by former judge, Dannii Minogue after details of her affair with the reality puppeteer were highlighted in his unofficial tell-all biography, Sweet Revenge: The intimate life of Simon Cowell, penned by Tom Bower, as Britain’s Got Talent Judge, Alesha Dixon, is reportedly throwing a bit of a wobbly too!

A judge has reportedly ruled Britney Spears tit to be a judge on the US X Factor, as long as her manager and fiancée, Jason Tarwick, acts as her minder on the show.
Rumours that the singing sensation was set to take one of the vacant judges seats on the US version of Simon Cowell’s phenomenal talent show began soon after the music guru sacked former judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger at the end of last season, with talks of a £9.4million deals being pushed around the boardroom table.
Host of American Idol, Ryan Seacrest, has had the speculation over his plans to leave the show quashed after it was reportedly announced yesterday that he will remain on the show for the next two series.

Madonna has revealed that she would not consider accepting a role on The X Factor USA.
After the shocking axe of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger from the hit Fox talent series earlier this week, word is that boss Simon Cowell is on the lookout for a couple of big named stars to join his panel and help lift the ratings.
However, he can save himself some time if he was considering asking Madonna to sign up, as she has ruled out the possibility at the Super Bowl XLVI press conference, saying:
Stacy Francis has admitted that she was saddened to hear that Paula Abdul has been axed from The X Factor USA.
The single mother from Brooklyn, New York reached the live finals of the hit Fox talent show last year and was mentored by Nicole Scherzinger throughout the series. However it seems that she made more of a connection with Paula.
On hearing that Nicole, Paula and Steve Jones have been dropped from The X Factor, Stacy took to Twitter to say:
OMG it’s been a bloodbath over at Fox this week!
When we heard rumours yesterday that the TV network were axing three of last year’s big X Factor stars we were sure at least one of the reports would be unfounded, but this afternoon it has been confirmed that both female judges – Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul – along with host Steve Jones, have been unceremoniously dumped.
Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger will not be back on The X Factor this year.
A Fox official has confirmed that neither star will be back on the series when it kicks off later in 2012 and that bosses are now on the hunt for a new presenter to replace Jones and a judge to replace Scherzinger.
He refused to confirm or deny reports that Paula Abdul was also leaving the show, which would result in only Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid returning from the first series.
