Britney and a newly blonde Demi join Simon Cowell and LA Reid in New York for the big announcement. While Britney’s rumored to get $15 or $16 million for the judging gig, Demi’s reportedly only getting $1 million.
THE TWO POP STARS CONFIRMED THE NEWS THAT THEY’RE FILLING THE 3RD AND 4TH CHAIRS AT THE JUDGES TABLE ON MONDAY DURING FOX’S UPFRONT PRESENTATION IN NEW YORK.
THE GIRLS JOIN SIMON COWELL AND THE OTHER X-FACTOR VETERAN, MUSIC MOGUL, LA REID, ON THE PANEL.
AND BRITNEY TELLS US WEEKLY,
"I couldn't be more excited. I'm a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!" AND A NEWLY BLONDE DEMI LOVATO ADDED, I am totally stoked to be here. I'm excited to represent my generation."
THE NEW ADDITIONS ARE A CLEAR DEPARTURE FROM LAST SEASON’S FEMALE JUDGES PAULA ABDUL AND NICOLE SCHERZINGER, WHO WERE LET GO A FEW MONTHS AGO… THINK THEY’RE AIMING AT A YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC?
THE FIRST SEASON OF SIMON’S LATEST BRAIN CHILD WASN’T THE HIT THE NETWORK HAD HOPED, SO EXECS ARE THINKING THAT BRITNEY AND DEMI WILL BRING IN THE RATINGS AND A BROADER AUDIENCE.
SIMON TELLS THE MAG, “Britney remains one of the biggest stars in the world: she's talented, fascinating -- and I believe she knows exactly how to spot The X Factor. Demi's had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She's young, confident and enthusiastic. I think it's really important that she speaks to our younger audience."
WHILE BRITNEY’S RUMORED TO GET $16 MILLION FOR THE SEASON, DEMI REPORTEDLY SIGNED ON FOR ABOUT $1 MILLION.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT THE DOLLAR SIGNS SAY, WE’RE THINKING THAT ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE X-FACTOR THIS FALL. THE SHOW AIRS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS. WILL YOU BE WATCHING? LET US KNOW ON FACEBOOK. FOR CTV I’M KZ
