Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Simon Cowell has named the judges that will make up the X Factor panel. Not sure how the latest names will pan out for the show but I am glad to see Paula returning again. I just hope they check her soda cup before the show each night.
Cowell tells me that in addition to himself and Antonio “L.A.” Reid, the chairman of Island Def Jam Music Group who resigned to join The X Factor panel on Fox (and about whom Simon said “was my No. 1 choice to sit alongside me on the show”), he has made up his mind to bring back Paula Abdul beside him and to add a heavily tattooed Brit singer convicted of assault and who’s virtually unknown to American audiences, Cheryl Cole.

Personally, Americans love the celebs…he is starting out with a “no American celeb” and an “already used up her time celeb..”…I think Paula is cute,,but I am tired of her and am so disappointed that she is going to be on this show… I was trying to be a devoted fan of Simons and turning my back on all the imitators trying to cash in on AI and XFactor…but I am now getting skeptical on even XFactor.. All the shows are starting to look like Karaoke night to me…
Paula.
Enough reason not to watch it.
This show better be good. Lord knows, they’ve spent enough time promoting it.
I figured he would have Paula. I saw him on Ellen I think it was and he talked about how much he loved her and wanted her on there.
