Britney Spears and Demi Lovato join Simon Cowell and LA Reid on the US X Factor judging panel
After weeks of rumours and speculation, Simon Cowell has unveiled pop princess Demi Lovato and music veteran Britney Spears as the two new judges on this year's US X Factor.
The music mogul was joined by the two pop stars at Fox's Upfront Presentation in the States, an event where TV bosses reveal their planned television shows for the year.
Demi and Britney will be taking the places of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger on the show's prestigious panel and they will be joining LA Reid.
Simon's decision to bring music big-gun Britney in has raised speculation that he is urgently trying to make this year's show a huge hit in the States, as X Factor's debut run in the US last year was less successful than Simon had hoped...

In his eyes if you dont look like a pop star your not a pop star!
Got very bored with the UK one many years ago now, as well as the BGT and all the other rubbish they bring out. So couldn't care one way or another who does this.
fair polay to simon cowell bringing britney in she is hot and demi is to and la reid well hes la reid lol, but seriously the voice is the most awful programme around the singers just screech they remind me of my cat when it was dying it made the same noise r.i.p ruffles, (the was my cats name)
fair play simon cowell
Simon cowell is a walking pound/dollar sign with a smarmy grin. It's really sad how all these people fall at his feet.
Jim Rogers, Britney's prob had more than a good lay
I think Simon got it spot on with his line up of judges on BGT this year.
David and Alesha were a breath of fresh air, pleasure to watch.
But reckon might be giving the X Factor a miss this year, don't like the look
of this lot.
