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:

WHYYYY?!
Why would Demi Lovato ever want to leave us??
Well, it seems it was nothing personal but the X Factor judge did consider leaving the show after her first season last year because some of it was just too bumpy of a ride.
(Hmm.. is she talking about Simon Cowell's constant dramz? LOLz!)
Demi WILL be back this year, but it wasn't without some major evaluating as she revealed:

Apparently American Idol isn’t the only singing competition show that’s in for some changes.
Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell will be returning to US X Factor this fall with yet-to-be-named fellow judges. However, the show’s third season will also feature a “more relaxed energy.”
According to Demi, Simon is planning on keeping things a bit more playful. She revealed:

Demi Lovato and Topshop go together like ying and yang.
After giving us some gypsy flair at the FOX Upfronts, the X Factor judge brought that Topshop fierceness back with a short leather skirt and sheer white shirt to the Topshop photocall in SoHo.
She met up with XF season two finalists Fifth Harmony on the red carpet, but DemDem of course outshone the group with her new sassy blonde hair and FLAWLESS skin.
Whatever she's doing, she needs to keep it up. Her makeup and hair were perfecto!

We really want to love this look, but we just CAN'T!
Demi Lovato made an appearance with X Factor sparring partner Simon Cowell at the FOX Upfronts in NYC on Monday.
The 20-year-old had an odd gypsy vibe as she walked the blue carpet in a black dress with silk scarves hanging from the gold-buckled belt, Topshop leather jacket, and Saint Laurent pumps.
The look sort of ages her, and the scarves are totes superfluous.
We KNOW she can do better — we've seen it!
Thoughts???

She is just too adorable!
Demi Lovato hit up The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday to promote her new album Demi, but the singer and X Factor judge shared much, much more!
Ch-ch-check out her perform her hit single Heart Attack (above)!
Want more?? Wanna catch her chatting to Ellen about working with Simon Cowell, her frequent change in hair color, and being a role model for girls??
Then dive right on in …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

X Factor might be getting seriously bootylicious!!!
Rumor has it that Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio could be joining the X Factor judging panel!
The former Destiny's Child and Latin pop goddess are reportedly in final negotiations to join Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell on the wildly popular singing competition series.
And why not? Both are extremely qualified for the positions. Hell, our girl Kelly was spectacular judging on the UK panel! So why the hell not!
