Gossip Teen

With Britney Spears and L.A. Reid out the door, The X Factor is in the market for some brand spanking new judges for next season!  So who does show creator and fellow judge Simon Cowell want to join his crew?  Well, none other than  on-again/off-again celebrity boos Katy Perry and John Mayer!

Simon sees it as a brilliant pairing. Katy’s sassy, honest and a huge star, while John’s more reserved. Having them as rivals would be genius – if they had on-air bust-ups, it’d be unmissable.

While Simon is certainly right about Katy, we just can’t see John agreeing to a reality TV show.  Isn’t he supposed to be some sort of musical genius or something?  He just doesn’t seem to fit the bill…

Although nothing has been confirmed by either singers’ camp, nothing has been denied either – so we can only assume that both Katy and John are both 100% IN for X Factor Season 3 ;)

Oooooh Demi Lovato is sure to get her panties in a twist over this one!  Another pretty brunette on set?  We smell a feud!

X Factor host Demi Lovato and her actor ex-BF Wilmer Valderrama set the Gossip-sphere on FIRE when they were spotted having a romantic dinner together on VALENTINE’S DAY!

Say whaaaaat!?

A source revealed that they spotted the on-again/off-again couple at Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant in downtown L.A.

They ordered almost everything on the menu, but they didn’t touch it for at least an hour… They stared into each other’s eyes the whole time.

And again, we’ll say:  Say whaaaat!?!?

Apparently, the 22-year-old former Disney star and her Ex took part in a ”really intense conversation” and “plenty of cuddling”. Oh, and an intense make-out sesh during the grand opening celebration of Topshop and Topman’s L.A. store.

Man, we could get whiplash with the amount of times these two lovebirds have sworn each other off and then gotten back together!

Best of luck to these two crazy kids this time around!

Poor Brit Brit.  First her relationship with fiance Jason Trawick hits a rough patch and now this?

According to sources, X Factor host Britney Spears will be getting the ax at the end of this season because, well, she’s not as nutty as she once was!

One X Factor insider revealed that the show’s creator Simon Cowell is disappointed with the lack of antics Britney has drummed up the show this season.

He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.

Too bad your show didn’t air back in 2008 Simon…

Another insider shared that X Factor producers aren’t interested in renewing Britney’s $15 contract to have her “say ‘amazing’ and offer half-claps.”  Yeah, we can understand that.  We thought the “It’s Not in Your Control” singer would have a little bit more to offer as a mentor.

We wonder who they’ll get to replace her???  Ooooh our wheels are already spinning!

According to sources, X Factor judge Simon Cowell says that regardless of the outcome of this season, he will NOT let the boys of Emblem3 slip through his fingers.

Soooo, like they can’t they pretty much drop out of XF competition now?  Oh yeah, but then they may not win the $5 million bucks.  Nevermind!

Apparently, the grouchy Brit has no qualms about letting the world know that he believes in the talent of these three brothers (no matter what his fellow judge Demi Lovato says!) and has no intention of letting them sign with another label.

I think there’s a pretty good chance [I'd sign them] I’m not going to let anyone else get them. There’ll be some pretty big announcements at the end of the show.

While we thought the guys of Emblem3, Wesley and Keaton Stromberg and Drew Chadwick, rocked their performance of  Bruno Mars’ tune ”Just the Way You Are” during this week’s episode of XF, judge Demi Lovato called their rendition a “downgraded version of the Jonas Brothers five years ago.”

Ouch!

But while Demi’s harsh words may send some competitors reeling, the Drew Chadwick takes it all in stride.

You know what it is… She’s got one of those old school schoolgirl crushes, where the only way she knows how to flirt is by being mean.

Keaton added,

Like Helga from ‘Hey Arnold!  She has a shrine in her closet.

We’re not sure if we’re really buying this theory, but we’ll buy into whatever gets these boys to the next round!

Check out the boys’ performance from this week’s episode of X Factor below and let us know what you think!  Tweet us at @GossipTeens!

We all know that Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas dated way back when and now – well – they hate each other’s guts, but what many of us didn’t know is that Demi and Joe’s li’l bro Nick Jonas have maintained a very friendly relationship over the years.

And we do mean “friendly”.  Well, no.  Not really.  But wouldn’t that be a swift kick in the pants to old Joe?

On The X Factor earlier this season, Demi had Nick on set as her guest mentor and this week, the youngest JoBro was spotted back on set hanging out after filming wrapped!  According to sources, after leaving the XF set, Demi and Nick headed to Mixology at The Grove for the XF viewing party and eyewitnesses then reported that Demi slipped out and headed towards Planet Dailies for a late-night bite.

Could she have been meeting little Nicky there for a secret rendezvous???  Stay tuned to find out more!

X Factor judge Demi Lovato stepped out on the set of her hit FOX show with a fabulous new ‘do!

We love Demi, but even we have to admit that blonde isn’t the best look for her .  We’re more that excited that she’s back to her roots – literally.

In a recent interview, the 20-year-old revealed that her new locks are a result of the change in season.

In the fall, it’s harder to maintain a healthy skin tone, and when you’re going into winter, it just sucks out the color of everyone!  I tend to go dark during the holidays — it’s a nice contrast! There is one thing about being blonde and pale, but I would rather be dark and pale.

Demi also shared that her frequent hair color changes are her own personal way of rebelling, now that she’s clean and sober.

The only thing I act out [about] anymore is my hair! It’s the only rebellion I have! Maybe some tattoos, but other than that, it’s just my hair!

What do you think of Demi’s new look?  Sound off below!

X Factor host Demi Lovato has always been very outspoken regarding her stance on “bullying”, but the 20-year-old is now speaking out about her experience dealing with being mistreated in school.

I had a really tough time when I was in middle school… People would write ‘hate petitions’ [about me] and send them around to be signed. They’d have CD-bashing parties of my demos. They’d come to my house, stand across the street and yell things. It was a very emotional time for me, and all I wanted to do was get away.

Yikes!

But luckily, Lovato is using her bad experience for good.  She’s now the ambassador for Secret’s “Mean Stinks” campaign, and will act as the face for the company’s anti-bullying initiative.

I heard about the program last year, and thought it was such a great opportunity… They’re really trying to put an end to bullying.

Lovato was recently attended New York City’s Young Women’s Leadership School to encourage young women to pledge to have a “Drama Free School Year” by painting their pinky fingers blue.

I’ll definitely be wearing [the nail polish] starting soon…It’s a conversation starter: ‘Hey, why is your pinky blue?’ ‘This is a pinky promise that I’m not going to bully people, that me and my friends are ganging up for good.’

So, GossipTeen fans, will you be ganging up for good this school year?  Let’s do it!

Who says Britney Spears is over the hill?

The 30-year-old mother-of-two Tweeted this rockin’ picture of herself in a gorgeous white bikini yesterday, along with the caption:

Y’all ready for summer to end? I’m definitely not!

And neither are we after seeing how much work we have left to do to catch up to the stunning Ms. Spears!  Who knew our girl Britney looked so fabulous!?

It just ain’t fair!

Britney’s first season as an X Factor judge kicks off September 12th of FOX.  Be sure to catch B$, Demi Lovato, LA Reid and Simon Cowell in all their judgmental glory!

The second round of nominations for the 2012 Teen Choice Awards have finally been revealed and we have just one thing to say about them…

This is going to be the longest award show in the HISTORY of award shows!

But we guess it makes sense that the TCA’s would have the biggest list of nominees because there are so many talented teens stars and starlets in Hollywood right now!

Check out the full list of nominees below and and you can vote for your favorites at TeenChoiceAwards.com!  The 2012 Teen Choice Awards air on FOX July 22nd.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn’t because of an all-out diva brawl between X Factor newcomers Demi Lovato and Britney Spears.  Not yet anyway

Apparently, Lovato, Spears and L.A. Reid (judge Simon Cowell was out sick) walked off the set of The X Factor yesterday, when a would-be contestant refused to face them, while auditioning in Kansas City, MO.

According to sources, the judges felt the contestant, who apparently  couldn’t sing his way out of a paper bag, wasn’t giving them the respect they deserved and refused to waste their time listening to him sing.

We can only hope this is only the beginning of 2012 The X Factor shenanigans!
