Rumors of X FACTOR judge Britney Spears exiting the show have run rampant in recent weeks, with sources saying one thing, and Fox execs saying another. Today, Fox chairman Kevin Reilly spoke about the upcoming third season of THE X FACTOR at the TCA, and claims that neither he nor Simon Cowell have discussed potential openings on the judge's panel (aside from L.A. Reid, who will most definitely not be back).
Following this week's announcement that L.A. Reid would not return for a third season of THE X FACTOR, creator Simon Cowell is on the hunt for a superstar to fill his judge's chair. According the U.K.'s The Sun (which is a tabloid, so, nothing's definite), Cowell wants pop-diva Rihanna for the position.
The second season of THE X FACTOR on FOX heads towards the season grande finale, which will include contestants Fifth Harmony (mentored by Simon Cowell), Carly Rose Sonenclar (mentored by Britney Spears) and Tate Stevens (mentored by L.A. Reid). Vegas picks the odds of who will win the competition.
