Apparently the lineup for the X Factor might be comprising of Louis, Cheryl and Simon, and I thought Louis was leaving, there is earlier speculation that Olly might be joining the panel.

Money talks... talk about flogging a dead horse.
I haven't watched for a few seasons now, and this isn't going to make much difference. It's had its time

Axed in the United States.
I went to the auditions in Austin, Tx. a few years ago when it was Simon, Britney, Selena Gomez and L.A. Reid (I think that's his name).

It looks like after this afternoon's press conference she is going to be the only female judge on the panel (so killing off the Rita Ora/Mel B rumours); so Simon Cowell in his usual innovative way of blatantly copying something, then fobbing it off as an original concept, has seen how brilliantly well Kylie Minogue has gone down on The Voice UK this year...
Which either means its back to three judges; or more likely that annoying goon Olly Murs will be the 4th judge after all.
Still with the show being regarded by all (bar Jeremy Kyle generation who believe what they read in the tabloids) as a manipulated to the death fake fraud of a show (just look at the efforts put in to getting top notch original material for last series' winner after Simon Cowell's very public advice: link compared to the actual album link & the runner up album link ) propped up by his friends / Max Clifford's connections in the media at Murdoch & Dacre Incs; whilst getting its backside kicked in the ratings on a Saturday night by the vastly superior SCD; and with the BBC finally (perhaps two series too late) getting the hosts & mentors on The Voice UK spot on; ... then fingers crossed the fix-Factor's days are numbered in the UK, just like it has been dropped throughout the world.
And of course the BBC are planning to schedule the brand new series of Dr Who (with the new Doctor) against XF. I wonder what Malcolm Tucker would make of that.
One thing you can guarantee betting your mortgage on this autumn/winter is the red top tabloids savaging SCD & Dr Who; whilst praising the return of Biffa the Nation's Sweetheart, which if you represented the public by the likes of D******S** & P**J****** websites today, this news has gone down about as well as a fart in a lift.
Still last series I watched not one minute of this parasitic show yet made a handsome £285 profit on betting on the numerous "eviction" outcomes of the show, just by going on what was sung, feedback to the contestants, VT's, publicity in the press during the week, just by going on what was said on the internet in numerous forums whilst watching BBC's SCD & Atlantis (not a patch on Merlin). And you know what I've never enjoyed a series of X-Factor more in my life!
I fully admit that makes me a miserable hypocrite for slagging off something which makes me money, because it is so laughably easy to see how the "brain dead sheep" ((c) John Lydon) are manipulated to vote by Syco's manipulation. But as the old saying goes "if you can't beat them, join them" ... and the money comes in nice at Xmas time, so I'd like to say thank you Simon Cowell .... for all the simple people who follow and vote on your premium rate phone lines.

www.dailystar.co.uk/showbiz/369470/Simon-Cowell-sets-off-the-X-Factor-fireworks-by-ignoring-Cheryl-Cole-to-invite-Louis-WalshSimon Cowell sets off the X Factor fireworks by ignoring Cheryl Cole to invite Louis Walsh SIMON Cowell has slapped down Cheryl Cole by offering Louis Walsh a return to The X Factor. By Peter Dyke, Katie Begley/Published 13th March 2014 The music mogul defied the Geordie babe’s demand to axe the Irishman as part of her big comeback. She wants Louis gone so she can bring another woman onto the talent show judging panel. But 54-year-old Cowell last night put Cheryl, 30, in her place. He thrashed out a deal with close pal Louis, 61, over dinner on Tuesday night to ensure the stalwart is back in his chair this autumn. They now have a verbal agreement that Louis will return for another series and he is expected to put pen to paper this week. Cowell’s girlfriend Lauren Silver-man, 37, former flame Sinitta, 45, and Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams, 42, and his model wife Lara Stone, 30, were also at the exclusive members-only Arts Club in London’s Mayfair. A show insider said: “The deal with Louis is done – he will be back. “Simon assured him over dinner that he wanted him back on the show and Louis will sign his deal in the coming days. “Cheryl might not want him but that’s exactly why Simon does, he knows it will create fireworks” Talent “Cheryl might not want him but that’s exactly why Simon does, he knows it will create fireworks.” Another person Cowell is having back on his team is Sinitta. He said: “Sinitta will have a role on the show. She has always done a good job, she is passionate about working with talent.” Cowell is determined to find global stars and admits he has been disappointed with the talent the show has uncovered while he has been in America. And he stuck the knife into the last two winners, James Arthur, 26, and Sam Bailey, 36, by claiming they will not have long-term careers. Cowell said: “James has had so many issues with what he’s done publicly. “It’s a real issue for me. “Someone should have told him to just shut up and release the records. “Sam will have a very successful debut album but are they going to be as successful as the acts in our final year? No. “I’d love to find another Olly Murs, he’s been an incredible ambassador. “That’s why we’re back – to get this show back to No 1.”

How dare Cheryl Cole dictate like that. Who the hell does she think she is. Spoilt bitch. Nowt wrong with Louis.
Simon Cowell criticizing James And Sam. Does he forget it was the public who chose them as winners. And he aint no saint himself is he lately.
Anyway Dannii Minogue and Olly Murs ruled theirselves out last week. Good to have Sinitta back somewhere BUT the show is really now in its last stages.
Personally think its time to shut it up once and for all.

What makes a mockery of this show, is the Overs category, just because Simon thinks Sam Bailey is too old to have a career, why have the Overs category in the first place, simple, dump the Overs career.
Just have 3 judges, Girls, Boys and the Groups and have 4 acts instead of 3 in the finals to make up the numbers, sorted.

I'm not sure it's just that she's too old - wasn't Olly Murs in the overs cateogy too? It's just that she's, well, rather dull and uninteresting, and really, the only reason she won is because the other acts were pretty dreadful. There have been far superior middle-aged women in previous series that didn't get as far in the competition simply because the acts they were competing against were better. Brenda for series 2 for example.
I scored 19/20 on the quiz - I got the question about Leona's mum wrong.

Mel B has been named as the fourth X Factor judge in the 11th series of the ITV talent show.
The former Spice Girl said she was "so excited" to be coming back and is reported to have signed a deal worth £1 million.
The 39-year-old appeared as a guest judge on the show in 2012.
"I've always thought honesty is the best policy when being a judge and that's what I'm going to bring more of this year," she said.
"Whether it's spotting an incredible singer, giving someone a reality check or debating with Simon over who's got it wrong.
"Now I can't wait to get started and find some amazing talent."
Simon Cowell said he was "thrilled" by the appointment.
He said: "I thought she was fantastic as a guest judge a couple of years ago.
"She is feisty, opinionated and, I believe, will be a great mentor."
Mel B has also been on both the American and Australian versions of the programme.
It's also been announced that Dermot O'Leary will be returning as host for the new series.
The presenter said: "With Mel on the panel, along with Simon, Cheryl and Louis, I'll have my hands full - we're going to be in for an exciting year."
Louis Walsh confirmed he was returning as a judge earlier this month.
Following the announcement that Mel B would be included the 61-year-old said: "It should be a fun year this year with both Simon and Cheryl returning and I think Mel will keep us all on our toes, she is Scary Spice after all."
Filming for the new series begins next week with an audition tour taking place in four cities across the UK - Manchester, London, Newcastle and Edinburgh.

As much as I love Mel B, this panel has nothing on last years

If Mel B sticks to her word and is "honest" then this bodes well.
However, Louis Walsh ruins the show which is why I stopped watching a few years ago.
