Ding ding. ‘The Voice‘ vs. ‘X Factor‘ battle has officially begun, a week before the season premieres and the ratings books. ‘The Voice’ is strategically attempting to win Round 1 by adding an extra episode of Season 3 during the premiere week on Wednesday, Sept. 12, which is the same day that Season 2 of ‘X Factor’ premieres. That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.

Someone is none too pleased with Britney Spears as of late, and it comes in the form of her supposed one time manager Sam Lutfi. You know… the guy that basically helped Brit have a breakdown in 2007. Such a dark time for us as Britney fans.

Demi Lovato is on a career high. Her single, ‘Give Your Heart a Break,’ is her biggest seller and airplay success to date, she’s the newest ‘X Factor‘ judge and she’s on tour getting her hair pulled by fans worldwide. Not only that, but she’s healthier than ever before. She sat down with iVillage to chat about her new judging gig, Simon Cowell and why dating is off the table for now.

Justin Bieber might be a mentor on Season 2 of ‘X Factor,’ furthering upping the “must watch” aspect of the show. As if the revamped judge’s panel wasn’t enough reason to tune in!

A new, minute-long ‘X Factor‘ promo has landed, featuring new judge Britney Spears gushing about a contestant. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that it’s set to ‘Don’t Fail Me Now,’ the new single from Season 1 winner Melanie Amaro. The song factors prominently in the spot, paired with the uplifting, dream-come-true footage of the judges complimenting and pushing through the top tier of talent

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!

A new batch of ‘X Factor‘ promos have landed to ramp up excitement for the Season 2 premiere, set for Wednesday, Sept. 12. In one clip, Simon Cowell and newbie Demi Lovato go at it, while in the other, Lovato and Britney Spears talk about their judging styles. Brit is the “subtle” judge while Demz is the “happy” one.

Brace yourselves, the pop music world is about to explode because Christina Aguilera, the voice of our generation and a judge on ‘The Voice,’ continues to have something nice to say about newest ‘X Factor‘ judge Britney Spears.

Artie might be coming to ‘X Factor!’ Simon Cowell has Britney Spears and Demi Lovato on the judging panel for Season 2 of the show, but he’s still searching for a new host (or two) to replace Steve Jones. A new report suggests that ‘Glee‘ star Kevin McHale is in the running for the host duties.

While Simon Cowell quickly replaced Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul with decidedly bigger star power in the form of Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, the ‘X Factor‘ hosting gig, vacated by Steve Jones, remains open. Word is that Cowell has six possible contenders for the job and one of the finalists is reality show star Khloe Kardashian.

If anyone knows the success that the U.K. version of  ‘X Factor‘ can bring, it’s One Direction. While the boys –who were eliminated on the show as individuals then re-assembled as a group by Simon Cowell – did not win their season (we know, we don’t get it either), they have gone on to achieve major success in the pop world. What better way to show how ‘X Factor’ dreams come true then by recounti

Sorry, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid. It’s Britney Spears and Demi Lovato who steal the spotlight in the new ‘X Factor‘ promo pics. These hot, sexy pop stars are turning heads in the latest images released by FOX promoting Season 2, which kicks off in September.
