In an interesting turn of events, Alanis Morissette has come out saying that reality shows like ‘American Idol‘ and ‘X Factor‘ don’t do enough to nurture singer-songwriters. We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the news comes on the heels of Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban finalizing their own ‘Idol’ judging talks — a role Morissette previously confirmed she was up for herself. Do you think it’s an

Yes, TV Guide still prints and the issue that lands Aug. 23 features the revamped crew of ‘X Factor‘ judges, with all eyes on Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, aka the newbies!

Ever since Britney Spears joined the newly-revamped panel on ‘X Factor,’ reports have run rampant of her walking off the set during auditions. But when it happened on Monday, she wasn’t alone — in fact, it may have been her fellow judge, Demi Lovato, who was the first to hit the door.

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.

Congratulations to Rachel Crow! Everyone’s favorite pint-sized ‘X Factor‘ contestant may not have won the competition (thanks a lot, Nicole Scherzinger!), but she’s doing just fine on her own. Crow snagged a TV pilot with Nickelodeon and a record deal, so get ready to see a lot more of her.

However, whispers of Beyonce beating Mimi to the spot are growing louder, and Bey’s rumored paycheck is growing bigger. A lot bigger — to the tune of $100 million!

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!

When Drew was eliminated from ‘X Factor‘ on Thursday night, PopCrush was legitimately bummed. Her mentor Simon Cowell was ready to ring Paula Abdul‘s neck since it was she who broke the tie in the “save” performance voting. In fact, for the first time ever, Cowell was speechless and did not want to comment from the stage. Drew was sobbing uncontrollably. It was a scene. Apparently, viewers are so

Paula Abdul has signed on as the fourth and final judge of 'The X Factor,' the Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Sources say that negotiations went down to the wire, due in part to her deal with CBS to appear on the dance-competition series 'Live to Dance.'
