Lamar Odom is ''very excited'' about Khloe Kardashian's job presenting 'X Factor'.

Demi Lovato was slammed for her use of Auto-Tune on 'The X Factor' USA last night (12.09.12).

The pop star joined the panel of the show for its second season alongside fellow newcomer Demi Lovato and original judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid and Simon was hugely impressed with the 'Toxic' singer.

Britney Spears has banned alcohol backstage at 'X Factor'.

Simon Cowell thinks One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles would make excellent 'X Factor' judges.

The pair entered the UK version of the show as solo singers before the music mogul put them together with Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik to form the hugely successful boy band and when asked which member would make the best judge, Simon was quick to point to Louis and Harry.
