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

PRESIDENT OBAMA SURPRISED HIS SUPPORTERS AND HIS CRITICS THIS WEEK WHEN HE CHANGED HIS STANCE ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE…
"When I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same sex relationships, who are raising kids together. When I think about those soldiers, airman marines sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained…
(CUT TO)
At a point is important I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that same sex couples should be able to get married.”
AND WHILE CELEBS LIKE ELLEN DEGENERES, LADY GAGA, AND ALEC BALDWIN WERE THRILLED AND APPLAUDED THE PRESIDENT’S PLAN TO LEGALIZE SAME SEX MARRIAGE… OTHER PEOPLE WEREN’T AS KIND.
LIKE BRISTOL PALIN, WHO DISSED OBAMA’S DECISION, AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS HIS DAUGHTERS, SASHA AND MALIA, WHO INSPIRED HIS CHANGE IN POSITION.
ON HER BLOG SHE WROTE, “While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage … I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.”
OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN’T SIT WELL WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE – MOST NOTABLY – JENNI FARLEY – AKA JWOWW. THE JERSEY SHORE STAR LET LOOSE WITH THIS SCATHING TWEET.
“Bristol should keep her uneducated ignorant mouth shut.” SHE WROTE. “If Ur living in the past u wouldn't have a kid w/out marriage. Hypocrite! It's 2012!”
THEN SHE ADDED, “My best friend will get married one day and not just have civil union with his man. Stop hating people.”
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE JWOWW – BRISTOL PALIN DRAMA? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU… WEIGH IN ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AND LET US KNOW. FOR CELEBTV, I’M KELLI ZINK.
Ellen: And how is it going for you? Hilary: It’s an amazing ride. Huge change right away. Ellen: How old was he in that picture. Hilary: he was about 3 weeks old. Ellen: He looks so focused. That’s amazing that intense stare for a 3 week old, right? Hilary: Well, before that he was screaming bloody murder. That was one of the good pictures that we got. He’s so yummy. What is about to come is such an amazing journey and a lot of work…..
HILARY ALSO LET THE MOMS-TO-BE IN ON WHAT SURPRISES TO EXPECT, BUT TURNS OUT SOMETIMES ITS JUST THE LITTLE THINGS..

"I've been bullied my whole life,” SHE SAYS “In high school, me and my girlfriends were freshmen and we were all pretty girls in cheerleading and stuff, so the older girls would bully us because all of their guys want to hang out with us."
THESE DAYS SNOOKI SAYS SHE FEELS THE SAME KIND OF PRESSURE LIVING IN THE SPOTLIGHT
"I really don't go with trends, I don't try to fit in like everyone else does in Hollywood. I just like to be different and I don't care. I think even haters love us. And I have a lot of haters,” SHE ADDS, “I mean, people used to say I was fat when I was the hottest thing ever. Imagine what they say now.”
