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.

American Idol, The Voice and X Factor winners all competing together in one competition, I've thought about the scenario a few times, and apparently so has Simon Cowell of the X Factor!

Whitney Houston was being considered as a new judge for ‘X Factor,’ but after her unexpected death, Janet Jackson is reportedly in preliminary talks to join the hit FOX show.

Every person has a story to tell. Some may not be as adventurous or powerful as others, but everyone has a story that has put them where they are today. Emmanuel Kelly brought his amazing story to The X-Factor Australia this last season and proved it doesn't matter where you come from and what you look like, but its the voice and heart that matter.

Following the ‘X Factor‘ judges’ bloodbath that erupted recently, rumors have started to fly regarding who might join Simon Cowell‘s show next season. Cowell has already put the kibosh on three names, including Beyonce. But what about Katy Perry? Well, she is still in the running!

After the surprised firings of ‘X Factor‘ host Steve Jones and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, the Hollywood Reporter has revealed that L.A. Reid will stay on as a judge for Season 2.

The producers of ‘X Factor‘ are not playing around! Following shakeups with the judges and host, Simon Cowell‘s pet project has been looking into hiring Mariah Carey as a mentor for some time. 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!

In an announcement made late last night, X Factor host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger are out, and now there are rumors that Paula Abdul will be leaving the show shortly, too.

Part of Melanie Amaro‘s grand prize package for winning ‘X Factor‘ was a Pepsi commercial — that airs during the Super Bowl. It’s only the most watched TV event of the year, so in addition to a $5 million recording contract, Amaro will make an even bigger public debut courtesy of this commercial, which takes place in the King’s Court. To top it all off, Elton John also appears in the spot. Amaro i

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 original returns tonight at 7 p.m. on Fox -- American Idol.  Since its debut 10 years ago, the show has produced some amazing talent, including artists Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, David Cook, Kris Allen and most recently, Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery.  The search begins to find the next American Idol tonight on Fox.

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
