He shouldn’t just be flattered! He should be having them sign the dotted line!
Simon Cowell is once again discussing the upcoming cast changes for his second season of X Factor, and while confirming that they are looking for two ladies to fill the open spots on the judges panel and a man and woman as co-hosts, he’s keeping quiet about potential replacements Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, who have both expressed interest in the reality competition!
He explains:
“I couldn’t comment on it. Are we flattered that there could be interest? Yes. Other than that, there’s going to be a lot of twists and turns over the next few weeks and a lot of things we’re going to announce.”
And on the hosts:
“It’s almost impossible to have one person doing this hosting job. You’ve got so much information now on telephone lines, the integrations of the sponsors — [the hosts are] like newscasters now. I think you can see a very different chemistry with two people. I always wanted a boy and a girl to host the show. I think that’s definitely going to happen now. I think we’ve learned how we can make the show better. I like the fact that it’s got very competitive now [against The Voice and American Idol]. It’s kind of exciting.”
Ha! We think that they only person getting super competitive over the other singing competitions is you, Simon!
But that’s okay! We love a good challenge – and we would LOVE Brit Brit and Janet as judges on X Factor!
How about U?!
