TwistedElegance™ Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 "The X Factor" is upping the sexy factor -- TMZ has learned Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio are signing on to be judges for next season. Sources connected to FOX tell TMZ the pair are in final negotiations to join the show ... with only minor details left to be hammered out before they sign on. We're told the deals will be done in the next few days, possibly as early as tomorrow. Rowland and Rubio would be replacing Britney Spears and L.A. Reid ... and joining returning judges Demi Lovato and (of course) Simon Cowell. A rep for Fox had no comment. http://www.tmz.com/#ixzz2TluvoyrW Kelly, I get. And I like Paulina, but what the hell? Apparently Simon said recently that he favoured chemistry among the judges rather than shelling out big dollars for a superstar diva (probably given Britney was so robotic), but I expected better than this. It would also mean Simon is the only male on the panel which must be a first for just about any talent show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidfresh832 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well they will save a lot more money on paying judges as the sign ons for these 2 will be significantly lower than paying Britney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised to see Paulina's name. I thought there would be more significant flops in the running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escapade Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Definitely. I'm just surprised to see Paulina's name. I thought there would be more significant flops in the running. Who is she? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Who is she? She's a huge Latin artist. This was her biggest US hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOlITPpXklU Things can't look good if you're asking who she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm glad to see L.A. gone, but he should have picked another guy to replace him. Aren't there some male artists he can call that wouldn't cost alot of money? Kelly is a good pick. Paulina is a random choice but I can see some reason behind it. I'm not sure why Demi is still there but that may just be me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Paulina is already a judge on The Voice Mexico. Maybe she's really good on that or something. Are the US X-Factor winners even successful? I don't think I could name them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need some kind of male artist there to balance the panel. Someone the male contestants can relate to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 They saved a ton of payroll by hiring a no-one and Paulina Rubio... I take it this is their last season? Neither of these girls can bring in ratings Paulina is already a judge on The Voice Mexico. Maybe she's really good on that or something. Are the US X-Factor winners even successful? I don't think I could name them. The first winner hasn't released an album yet.. But released 3 flop singles The 2nd winner, country star, released an album and sold 22k as of May 2013 So no.. This show's a bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Diddy would be a fool, but it'd probably make for good TV. Hilary Duff's name was also thrown around. Simon Cowell is expected to make an announcement today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
