It wasn't a dream!!! This is really happening!
Only hours after Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio filled the open judge's chairs on X Factor, the duo flew to South Carolina take a first look at this season's talent with Demi Lovato & Simon Cowell!!
ZOMG!! That foursome looks FIERCE!
Today is day numero uno of the Charleston auditions and we cannot wait to see what type of talent they uncovered!
AH-Mazingly enough, mother nature almost kept Simon from completing the journey to SC!
Earlier on Twitter, he revealed:
Thankfully, everyone did make it and the show went on as planned!!!
Ch-ch-check out more pics of the fab four at work (below)!:

You're the man now, dawg Simon! The only man!
It what promises to be the most estrogen-filled season yet, Kelly Rowland & Paulina Rubio were just named new judges on X Factor.
While we thought these two would wind up sitting beside Demi Lovato and producer Simon Cowell, it's great to hear an official announcement!!
In a statement, Simon revealed:

It sounds as though Demi Lovato has really defeated a lot of her past, personal demons, and utilized her new-found strength to mend the fences of a lot of past broken relationships with friends…and now, ex-boyfriends!
The brave young starlet recently opened up about becoming close again to her longtime bestie Selena Gomez, and in a new interview, reveals that re-building her relationship with former love Joe Jonas has been especially difficult, given her pain and heartbreak over their 2010 split!
But all of that is in the past now!
As she explains:
Sing it, gurl!!
Demi Lovato recently covered Rihanna’s song, Stay, live in concert!!
While the entire first portion is great and all, it’s pretty much exactly what we would expect it to sound like.
HOWEVER, Demi takes us for a HUGE loop at the end of her performance and totes ramps it up!!! We love the unexpected ending!!
Demi definitely took this song and made it her own; we wonder how Rihanna feels about it!!
Ch-ch-check out the footage! (above)

This is just so, SO EXCITING!
Although the only two folks confirmed to be returning to the X Factor judges panel for the reality competition's upcoming third season are Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, it appears that this will all change on Monday afternoon - as that's when the two latest recruits will be announced!
Simon took to Twitter early this morning to reveal:

Demi Lovato has already accomplished SOO much in her young career! She's been an actress, a singer, a judge on The X Factor, and now she's hoping to add one more title to that list: Mommy!
The Heart Attack singer recently revealed her 5-year plan, and although she's not quite sure where she'll end up down the road, she says it's all good as long as she has a husband and some babies when she gets there!
Demi dishes:
We all knew from Demi Lovato's new song Warrior - and the tattoo of the lyrics she recently had inked onto her skin - that she does not mess around when it comes to being a badass, but this is seriously HARDCORE…even for her!
The pop sensation recently sat down for an interview with MTV News, during which she revealed that although she has to have her tonsils removed over the summer before beginning her duties on the judges panel of X Factor, she does NOT plan on taking any chances with her past addiction struggles, and will be undergoing the surgery WITHOUT the help of painkillers!
And this won't even be the first time!
That's right! She had her wisdom teeth removed AND endured that painful-looking foot injury au naturale, folks!
We couldn't be more proud of her for choosing to honor her sobriety and not even risking the chance of slipping up by taking a much more painful, uncomfortable alternative! But as we all know, the right way isn't always the easy way!
Ch-ch-check out the full interview for more, as well as what else she has to say about her friendship with Selena Gomez (above)!
