Simon Cowell

We are BEYOND excited that the season premiere of 'X Factor' is just days away! Of course, what we're most excited about is the fact that we get to see our queen, a miss Britney Spears, on our TV screens multiple times a week!! And the new behind the scenes footage of 'X Factor' that was released makes us love Brit (and Demi Lovato) so much more.

Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. Remember all those walk offs that Britney Spears had in the early days of 'X Factor' filming? Turns out, she didn't have to tinkle after all. She actually had small meltdowns -- and almost quit!

Ding ding. 'The Voice' vs. 'X Factor' battle has officially begun, a week before the season premieres and the ratings books. 'The Voice' is strategically attempting to win Round 1 by adding an extra episode of Season 3 during the premiere week on Wednesday, Sept. 12, which is the same day that Season 2 of 'X Factor' premieres. That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.

Simon Cowell can add "hero" to his long, long list of achievements: The former 'American Idol' and current 'X Factor' judge came to the rescue of nine people who were trapped on a sinking boat in France!

A new batch of 'X Factor' promos have landed to ramp up excitement for the Season 2 premiere, set for Wednesday, Sept. 12. In one clip, Simon Cowell and newbie Demi Lovato go at it, while in the other, Lovato and Britney Spears talk about their judging styles. Brit is the "subtle" judge while Demz is the "happy" one.

If a new commercial is any indication, the judges on the upcoming season of 'X Factor' are pulling no punches. A promo for the season premiere shows new judge Britney Spears joining Simon Cowell in mocking some of the contestants who just can't sing.

'X Factor' judge Demi Lovato has been through a lot, but if she's irritable these days it's because of one man: Simon Cowell.

The 'X Factor' panel has been subject to a whole boatload of drama even before the ink on Britney Spears and Demi Lovato's contracts dried, and it's showing no signs of stopping. Notorious curmudgeon Simon Cowell is going on the offensive, claiming Lovato and Spears are catty to goodlooking female hopefuls. Claws out!

When you have Britney Spears and Demi Lovato on the payroll, it's never too early to begin promoting your show. Auditions have already begun for Season 2 of the 'X Factor,' and now FOX has released its first promo for the upcoming season featuring the superstar judges.

Yowza! Simon Cowell is throwing some shade at fellow singing competition shows in a big way. The 'X Factor' honcho and judge allegedly is attempting to sabotage his competition at NBC, 'The Voice.'
