Simon Cowell has nagged huge star Rihanna as a guest judge on The X-Factor.
The concept of the show is judges bring on guests to help them decide which contestants to mentor. Antonio “L.A.” Reid has decided to use Rihanna.
Rihanna is apparently very excited reports TMZ. She worked on the U.K. finale last year and loved it.
In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, Simon says that he wants to be frozen when he dies.
“It’s an insurance policy,” he tells the mag. “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. If it does work, I’ll be happy. If it’s possible, and I think it will be, why not have a second crack? Does that sound crazy? I think it’s a good idea.”
And that’s not all. Simon also has had the same breakfast everyday for five years of; Hot water with lemon, then papaya juice with lime, then oatmeal, then tea, then three different smoothies: a spinach smoothie, an antioxidant smoothie and a super smoothie with seven fruits.
“It just puts me in a good mood,” he explains. “I know it sounds odd. It’s just what I enjoy doing. I’m sure it’s not completely normal.”
He’s a weird guy. But whatever he’s doing seems to be working for him.
Nicole Scherzinger is getting ready for her performance on The X Factor, but she still hasn’t chosen her song to perform. Her No. 1 U.K. single “Don’t Hold Your Breath” was released in the U.S. on Aug. 16.
“If it were up to me I would be performing every week,” Scherzinger tells Billboard after performing “Don’t Hold Your Breath” on “Live with Regis and Kelly.” “I have to make sure to have the right song (for ‘X Factor’). It has to be a song that people will love. I’m judging a show where the prize is $5 million. The bar is raised. I know what I’m looking for and I’m going to make something special. My idea for the presentation is to throw everything into it. It’s full throttle.”
Did you miss the ultimate prick? Well Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul are returning with their American Idol knockoff called The X Factor. The show will air on FOX, and a $5 Million prize is awarded to the winner.
FOX has released a promo for the new show, where we find a dream sequence showing “new” Simon Cowell. However Cowell eventually wakes up and the old Simon appears on his new show.
It looks like the audience of The X Factor will witness a happy reunion this fall.
AP reports that former American Idol judge, Paula Abdul has signed on as the The X Factor’s fourth judge. Abdul joins familiar face Simon Cowell as one of the show’s judges, alongside British singer Cheryl Cole, and former Def Jam president, L.A. Reid. Together the four music moguls will audition thousands of talented (and not so talented) artists when the competition premiers this fall on Fox.
Though Abdul and Cowell often bantered often on Idol, Cowell told Deadline.com, “I missed her the second she left. Always loved working with her, even though she can be a pain.”
The executive producer also told People that, “She’s very passionate and she cares. And she has good taste in music, though you didn’t always see that on TV.”
Indeed, Abdul may have become more notable for possibly being intoxicated while on Idol, than for her musical inclinations. Still, Cowell has reportedly been very calculated about choosing members of the judging panel.
Cowell called Reid his “Number one choice to sit alongside me on the show.” The famous Englishman also added that he thought fellow Brit, Cheryl Cole, “was bright, cute, knew what she was talking about.”
Though the audience may be able to predict the dynamic between Cowell and Abdul, don’t be so sure that arguments are out of the question.
“There should be tension to a point,” said Cowell. “I liked the Idol panel when we first started. We had different opinions, and I think it’s important you have different opinions.”
Well, seeing as Cowell has chosen to throw himself, British pop star Cole, American celebrity-maker Reid, and sweet but crazy Abdul to the show, I think there will be more than enough opinions to go around.
It looks like Simon Cowell has another hit on his hands with a record crowd thaty turned out to audition for “The X Factor” over the weekend.
DailyMail is reporting that over 18,000 people tuned out to the L.A. Memorial Sports Arena.
A show insider is quoted saying, “The scenes down here are crazy. There are around 18,000 people here and the numbers are growing by the second. There’s gridlock on the freeways into the venue, its absolute chaos. These auditions are going to be going on well into the night — there are a lot of people to get through.”
Of course 18,000 people showed up for the auditions as an opportunity to show off their artistic talents. Well that, plus if they win, they will receive a$5 Million record deal from Sony Music plus a huge plethora of endorsement deals.
So good luck!

Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol, wrote a letter announcing judge Simon Cowell’s departure from the show, reports TMZ. Fuller congratulated Cowell on his show, The X-Factor, but said it is “in the same vein as Idol.”
It sounds like Fuller is worried about Cowell stealing fans from American Idol.
American Idol fans it is official – Simon Cowell is leaving the show. Cowell announced his move during the Television Critics Association tour in Pasadena, California. Cowell further explained that he will be a judge and executive producer on Fox’s new reality show, “The X Factor.”
Simon Cowell has even more reason to be Scroogey this Christmas, thanks to Rage Against the Machine.
Jordan McElderry, the winner of The X Factor, a UK talent show, will not be taking the top spot on the UK singles chart for the week of Christmas. Instead, Rage Against the Machine will be sitting humbly atop the list, thanks to John and Tracy Morter, two Facebook users and RATM’s biggest fans.
The Facebook campaign was launched just last week, urging anyone who didn’t want another pop single as the number one to download RATM’s “Killing in the Name Of”.
It was announced yesterday that RATM had in fact topped the charts with 500,000 downloads of “Killing in the name of”, a single from 1992 self-titled debut. McElderry’s “The Climb” (actually a Miley Cyrus cover) only sold 450,000 singles.
If losing Paula Abdul wasn’t bad enough, rumours are surfacing that Simon Cowell maybe ending his American Idol career. E! Online is reporting that Simon’s own brother Tony said on his podcast The Cowell Factor, that the Idol judge would be saying goodbye.
“A press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of X Factor to U.S. TV in 2011,” Tony says in this week’s installment.
