Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus are Battling for X Factor Judge’s Vacant Seat!

Last news on The X Factor crew was that Britney Spears was close to a deal to serve as one of the four judge/mentors in the second season of the U.S. version of this show. While Fox hasn’t made any official announcement on Spears’ involvement in the series, that may just be a matter of time. In the meantime, there’s still one seat not yet taken (or reserved) at the judges table, and teen stars Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato may have their eyes on it.

Former Disney stars, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus are set to compete for the spot in Simon Cowell’s hit show, X-Factor.

The Hollywood Reporter says pop star Demi Lovato is close to a deal to join The X Factor as a judge/mentor on the series. Their sources say Lovato is in final negotiations.

Meanwhile, sounding a bit more tentative, Celebuzz reports that Miley Cyrus is “being eyed” as a possible fourth judge, going on to say that she’s on Simon Cowell’s “top-secret shortlist,” which also happens to include Lovato. So their update doesn’t exactly contradict THR‘s. It’s entirely possible that both are in talks, or that Lovato is closer to grabbing the spot.

Not to diminish the professional accomplishments of Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato, as both of them have proven to find success in their careers far sooner than most people even have careers. However, hearing these names mentioned further suggests that Cowell is aiming largely for star-power as a means of bringing in more viewers to the series.

Huh… These two spoilt brats don’t write their songs or actually sing them so this should be perfect for a dying talent show genre. All they can hope is Miley shows cameltoe coming from the gym or Demi relapses and they can get their ratings. Welcome to reality TV at a new low!
