Britney Spears and Simon Cowell have been making the media rounds to promote the new season of 'X Factor,' and last night the pair stopped by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' for an entertaining chat.

Simon Cowell can add “hero” to his long, long list of achievements: The former ‘American Idol‘ and current ‘X Factor‘ judge came to the rescue of nine people who were trapped on a sinking boat in France!

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.

Did Idol Fire Lopez and Tyler?

Simon Cowell really can’t get it together when it comes to the ‘X Factor‘ panel. One day he’s offering Britney Spears $10 million to join. The next, he’s all up in Rihanna‘s grill about taking the gig. Then, he’s saying he doesn’t need A-listers to comprise the panel. All these rumors about who he will get to fill the two vacant seats are running rampant. Today’s top ‘X Factor’ panel story suggest

Simon Cowell better invest in better security for his abode. The reality show judge saw his London residence broken into on March 24, literally. Cowell was at home during the break in. The intruder is likely an overzealous fan, who camped out in the powder room. We thought it may have been a disgruntled ‘X Factor‘ contestant or ‘American Idol‘ alum when we heard the news.

Simon Cowell is a media mogul, which makes him a media magnet, as well. He sees no less than 500 tabloid items printed about him and his entertainment properties in a single year. His ‘X Factor‘ show antics and his love life are often the topics of the press and publicity surrounding the acid-tongued judge. Simon Cowell, Inc. is a well-oiled machine, a brand and a corporation, and as the saying go

He’s had his hands in some of the most successful albums and TV shows of the last 20 years, and made enough money to never have to work another day in his life — so the list of people Simon Cowell needs to listen to is awfully short. But when Mariah Carey says she wants to appear on Simon’s new series, ‘The X Factor,’ he pays attention.

Paula and Simon...They're Baaaaaaack!

Though negotiations reportedly went down to the wire, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul stepped out in full force Sunday for the first round of 'X Factor' auditions in Los Angeles.

Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell back together?  Yep!  Abdul has reportedly signed on as the fourth judge on Simon’s Cowell’s "X Factor".   And as crazy as this is going to sound, I'm glad!  Yes I am.  I used to think the two of them on American Idol acted a bit too hokey at times, but you know what, I miss it.

I am a huge fan of American Idol.  I also think Jimmy Fallon is a very funny guy.  And I love holidays.  So what could be better than this- or more awful?
