May 14, 2012
Welcome to 2012 where the proof is in the tweet. Britney Spears just posted the first pic of the new line-up of the judges for the upcoming season of The X Factor, which includes herself and Demi Lovato as the token newbie’s, as well as veterans Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid (no, that’s not a skinny Randy Jackson).
L.A. Reid Opens Up About Everything X-Factor
October 22, 2011
So it's obvious that X-Factor is the hot new signing competition. Every time I talk to my mom the conversation is 60% about The X-Factor. Everyone knows who Simon and Paula are because of their years and years on American Idol and all dudes know who Nicole Scherziger is because she was in a girl singing group with the word "pussycat" in it's title. But everyone's starting to learn who L.A. Reid is.

L.A. Reid was the former CEO of Def Jam records and one of the people responsible for the success of musicians like Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Usher, and Justin Bieber to name a few.

L.A. Reid dishes on everything X-Factor

On Simon's decision to bring back Melani Amaro:
"I was very happy though that Simon did go back and rethink Melanie from Miami. I thought she was really fantastic in the auditions. I think so far it's working out for the better....[but] I don't know if it means that we will end up cutting two in the first episode."

L.A. Reid Reveals Next X-Factor Judge: Cheryl Cole

L.A. Reid has reportedly revealed that singer Cheryl Cole will be an X-Factor judge.

“We’re gonna compete against American Idol just fine,” Reid said. “I’m very confident. But along with Simon Cowell and Cheryl, I don’t know who the other judge is.”

I’m not sure why this show is having such a hard time getting a panel together, but it seems like no one wants to be a part of it. They might have to resort to finding someone via craigslist at this point.

Snoop Dogg revealed that he turned down an offer to be a judge on the show.

Snoop said, “they asked me to do that, but I don’t think that’s for me.”

Probably because it involves being awake for more than an hour.
Newest "X-Factor" Addition: Def Jam's L.A. Reid
March 16, 2011
They keep teasing us with X-Factor judges, and I’m starting to think Simon Cowell just wants to remind us that this show still exists.

Island Def Jam’s chairman, Antonio “L.A.” Reid will be one of four judges on the show, and that “it’s a done deal.”

An official announcement is expected to be made soon.

It’s about damn time, because auditions begin at the end of the month.

At this point, if Cowell hasn’t filled the other slots, I'd just rename the show “American Idol” and ask Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler if they’re down.

And when Randy Jackson gets his feelings hurt, just explain to him that we already have a cool guy with glasses.
