UPDATE 2: Sources confirmed to E! Online that judge Paula Abdul will also not be returning to "The X Factor," leaving Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid as the only original members of the judging panel for Season 2. "She found out today," a show source told E! Online.

UPDATE 1: E! is now reporting that Nicole Scherzinger will not be returning as judge for Season 2 of "The X Factor."

"She wants to focus on her music career," their source said. "She's spoken to Simon [Cowell] and he's given her his blessing ... 'X Factor' took a lot more of her time than she ever expected. She didn't have any time really to work on her music. She was doing 'X Factor' six days a week."

This comes right after our earlier breaking news report that Steve Jones was out as "X Factor" host.

ORIGINAL: It's been rumored for a while, but now Steve Jones' future as the host of "The X Factor" is known: The Brit tweeted on Monday, definitively and quite politely, that he will not be returning for Season 2.

Back in December 2011, news of Jones' demise was a little premature, and his reps shot down the rumors immediately. But they surfaced again at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier in January 2012, when Kevin Reilly, head of Fox Entertainment, said, "Whether Steve's the guy or not, it comes under the heading of growth in general, so there will be some tweaks to the show." Reilly then added, "Hosting, as we know, it is a much harder job than meets the eye. I think everybody now has come to realize the value of Ryan Seacrest."

Earlier on Monday, Jones' now-former boss Simon Cowell was quoted in London's Daily Mirror saying: "I don’t think he did a bad job but, like 'America’s Got Talent,' there is a Brit limit on the show." A few hours later, Jones' tweet made it official.

The ratings were way below the expectations they set while they were hyping up the show for over a year. I am sure they want to revamp and try and fix what they think is wrong to get higher ratings.

Is Mariah supposed to be on the American X Factor? :unsure:

It's because she (and Paula) couldn't handle the death threats folks were sending them for eliminating some horrible teenage girl on the show.

Nah that makes it sound like they had a choice really. Simon said after the finale to expect a behind the scenes bloodbath. They were clearly not happy with the ratings and there were alot of complaints from everything including the choice of judges and the format.

Ever since Nicole and Paula let Drew go (I think that's her name) Simon has been acting like a bitter queen. He blamed them for her being in the bottom even though the viewers didn't vote for her. And after she let her emotions get the best of her and gave a horrible final performance, he blamed them for eliminating her when it was clearly her fault. Yes ratings play a part in it, but it's the producers fault for trying to make it an 'American Idol II' but having a lot of terrible auditions for laughs. = won't be shocked if it ends after the second or third season.
