After months of speculation, FOX officially announced that pop stars Demi Lovato and Britney Spears will be joining L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell, as the newest hosts of The X Factor.

Doesn’t it just feel so good to finally have some closure!?

Show creator and judge, Simon Cowell (who’s usually such a grouch…but love him for it!) says that he is thrilled that Demi and Britney are joining the show and that they will be welcomed additions to the judges table.

I’m absolutely delighted that Britney and Demi are joining us… Britney Spears remains one of the biggest stars in the world, she’s talented, fascinating – and I believe she knows exactly how to spot The X Factor…. Demi’s had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She’s young, confident, and enthusiastic… It’s important that she speaks to our younger audience. The new panel will be dynamic and will work really well with the changes to the show.

The newly married Spears also spoke out about her excitement over teaming up with Cowell and the entire cast of The X Factor,

I’m a huge fan of the show and now I get to be a part of the action. Simon and L.A. better watch out!

Watch out?  Watch out for what exactly Britney?  Please don’t tell us you think you’re going to go head-to-head with Simon in a battle of wits.  We just don’t think we have the stomach for that…

Do you think Britney and Demi will work well with L.A. and Simon?  Sound off below!

She’s SO lucky!  LITERALLY!

Sources report that 30-year-old pop star Britney Spears will be joining the cast of the FOX hit, The X Factor, as a judge next season! Producers are also currently courting Janet Jackson and Fergie with hopes of adding at least one of them to the judges table as well.

We certainly hope the recently engaged songstress fares better than Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones, who were all canned after just one season on the show – but with a boss like Simon Cowell there’s no such thing as “job security”!

‘Member this?

For 55 very brief hours back in 2004, princess of pop Britney Spears was married to childhood pal Jason Alexander after the two wed on a whim in – you guessed it – Las Vegas.

Now our little Brit Brit is all grown up and on to husband #3 – and although their love affair lasted only a few fleeting hours, Alexander is none too pleased about his ex moving on with her now-fiance, Jason Tarwick.  In an interview with Us Magazine, Alexander spewed venom regarding his ex’s upcoming nuptials.

I know everyone wants me to be happy about this, but I am not… I think it’s fake and I think people are afraid to say it.

If you look at all the pictures between them there is no connection… They look like they are going through the motions.  It seems like a answer to the court thing.

Sort of a nice way to sew it all up she marries her handler,” Alexander sniped. “That way she always has someone controlling her. It’s sort of sad.

Wow, bitter much?  Does this guy realize that his marriage to Britney lasted even less time than Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kris Humphries?  Even by Hollywood standards, that’s barely long enough to count.

Time for this guy to build himself a bridge and GET OVER IT!

Pop superstar Britney Spears and boyfriend Jason Trawick may have something extra to celebrate this holiday season, as sources are reporting that the pair got engaged in Las Vegas last night!

And by sources, I mean Britney Spears herself, who Tweeted,

OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo

But seriously, other sources have been flapping their gums regarding all the legal hoops Jason has had to jump through in order to put a ring on his bride-to-be.  Because Brit’s father is still acting as her conservator, Jason had to first get his permission (pretty normal, right?) and then take his request before a judge (sooooo not normal).

While it may not be the traditional proposal every little girl dreams about, we’re still super excited for Britney to put down some roots and settle down with a good man.

Congrats Brit-Brit!

Pop icon Britney Spears celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday (wow, I feel old) by lacing up a pair of skates and hitting the ice with boyfriend Jason Trawick.

Spears, who is taking a short break from her South American tour, look overjoyed at being able to have some personal time with her man and was grinning from ear to ear as she glided around the rink.

The lovebirds, who began working together over five years ago, seem to be more N*SYNC (sorry, couldn’t help it) than ever and our girl Brit appears to have found herself her dream man.  In an interview with US Magazine, the singer gushed,

Jason is just amazing with [Jayden and Sean Preston] … They look up to him so much — they adore him. He’s their hero.

Awww!  Love it  Happy Birthday Brit!

Joe Jonas revealed the cover art for his album Fastlife this week.

In the cover shot, Jonas is standing still, the calm center of the storm, while life is speeding past all around him. Sounds about right for a busy and in-demand artist, right?

The 22 year-old is set to open for Britney Spears‘ tour in Europe beginning in October.

Jonas will appear at the 2011 MTV VMAs tonight, August 28th.

Fastlife drops October 11th.

Vanessa Hudgens was in a purple mood as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of Beastly, held at The Grove’s Pacific Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 24th.

Hudgens chose a strapless purple print gown with rise and fall hem from Julien Macdonald and accessorized with blue jay colored shoes and lipstick red clutch. Colorful indeed!

The event was sponsored by Hudgens’ latest gig: Candies. The actress is the new Candies Girl (see photos here) following Britney Spears‘ stint as the spokesmodel for the company.

More photos of Vanessa are under.  Read more »

Candies has announced Vanessa Hudgens as the new face of the clothing brand. Hudgens is hot hot hot in the ads, showing off her bikini bod for the new photo campaign.

Vanessa steps into Britney Spears Candies shoes and Spears sent Nessa a message on twitter:

So fun being a Candie’s Girl! Look out for the @Candiesbrand pics of their new girl, Vanessa Hudgens! – Brit

V was equally happy in her new job:

Thnx, @BritneySpears, you’re a tough act to follow …but, I’m so excited to be the new Candie’s girl for 2011!! – xo, Vanessa

Check out the new photos of Vanessa below and get the look at Kohl’s. Read more »

Justin Bieber fans will have to wait if they want to see Glee tackle more than one JB song.

The rumor circulating around the net had the hit FOX show tackling a tribute episode, similiar to the Madonna and Britney Spears themed shows but it’s simply not true.

However it’s not all bad for Bieber fans. The teen pop star will get a nod in the February episode called “Comeback.” Show creator Ryan Murphy says:

“Bieber comes up in episode 13 as a small plot point. Sam (Chord Overstreet) sings a JB song to win Quinn’s (Dianna Agron) approval.” (and yes, I fixed the misspelling of Dianna’s last name.)

No word if there is a Selena Gomez song in that same show. Now that would be funny.

GLEE star Lea Michelle looks absolutely diva-licious gorgeous on the cover of the upcoming issue of Marie Claire UK (November 2010). It’s time for Glee stars to invade the cover of several magazines. Not just Lea! Heather Morris (Brittany) is gorgeous and she will be on fire on Glee’s special Britney Spears episode.

Glee’s Britney Spears Episode Sneak Peek (VIDEOS)

Lea had the privilege to meet the princess of pop, who makes a special appearance on Glee tonight, and only has nice things to say about her. The 24 year-old is a fan of Britney like most girls her age who still remember the singer’s glorious years with her first two/three albums.

Lea revealed, “She was so professional. She looked incredible. She’s so tiny! She was great to work with. It was one of those things where you go to work and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe we’re doing this!’

“We are in a scene together. What we do together, I can’t say, but I will tell you it’s incredibly iconic! I can’t believe Ryan [Murphy] got her to do this.”

Do not miss Britney Spears’ GLEE special episode, “Britney/Brittany” tonight on FOX.
