Talk about cleaning house!

NO ONE IS SAFE!

Perez for X Factor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While it seemed like little to no surprise at all, given their lackluster performances during the first season, that X Factor host Steve Jones and judge Nicole Scherzinger would not be returning for another year, sources close to the reality competition announced the inevitable last night - but shockingly, that also Paula Abdul would be let go along with them!

Poor Steve! It's time for someone to level with him already, for better or for worse!

To recap - last month, we heard reports that host Steve Jones might be getting the boot from X Factor!

Soon thereafter, both Steve's and the show's reps said that there had been "absolutely no conversations" about Steve getting the axe.

Guess those conversations have taken place since then, because now Simon Cowell is hinting that Steve may not be invited back next season:

We'd still LOVE to see Chezza on the show…but we could be down with this too!

Back in August, Simon Cowell had the following to say about why Mariah Carey wasn't a judge on season one of X Factor:

Cool concept!

We've JUST learned that Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment is partnering up with Sony Pictures Television and Will & Jada Pinkett-Smith's Overbrook Entertainment for a new DJ-themed reality competition show!

The show is being described as a "live, new international TV format to find the world's greatest DJs."

Here's what Simon had to say about it:

It certainly appears that way!

Back in September, there were reports that Simon Cowell and fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy had broken up…but then his rep assured the world that they were "as close as they've ever been."

Unfortunately, it appears that Simon HAS moved on, because according to Star magazine, he was spotted getting very close to Greek actress/socialite Zeta Graff on his super yacht earlier this month.

Here's what a source had to say about it:

After the shellacking he took in the ratings in all his shows, Simon Cowell is planning a big overhaul for 2012.

Simon says he was humbled and that he was "smug and cocky" regarding his shows last year.

For a quick recap, X Factor UK and Britain's Got Talent ratings tanked, Red or Black did poorly and X Factor US failed to reach 20 million viewers.

But

Be scared judges. Be very scared!

Simon Cowell does not want Britain's Got Talent to be a ratings flop like last year and is flying back to the UK to announce major changes to the new judges, as a source said:

Sad. But it may be for the best.

Kelly Rowland is packing her bags and leaving the London version of X Factor.

It seems like the surrounding aspects of the show were a bit more than she wanted to be a part of.

It is also said that Simon wasn't too thrilled with her performance.

A source revealed the following about Kelly's experiences on the show:

She enjoyed her time on the programme but was taken aback by the circus surrounding it.

We wonder what's up next for Kelly.
