Okay, I've kind of given up on reality talent shows of late, but I thought the fact that Divas
Britney Spears and
Demi Lovato had just been revealed to be taking up positions on season two of
X-Factor (US), it was worth posting on.
After jettisoning his own "friend",
Cheryl Cole from series one, it was clear from the outset that no one was safe from
Simon Cowell's chopping block and his evil quest for ratings and the success of his own talent show format.
Clearly unhappy with the state of things at the end of the first season,
Cowell then turned his axe on
Nicole Scherzinger,
Paula Abdul and presenter
Steve Jones in a radical move that left two bloodied seats on the panel up for grabs. Seats which
Britney Spears- who collects a cool $15 million- and
Demi Lovato will now occupy.
