When Simon Cowell announced that The X Factor had hired LA Reid to judge on the show, we all Googled him to see what he looked like and were shocked to find out he looks just like Randy Jackson. Well Simon’s new singing competition has come and gone and no one asked the only American Idol judge what he thought about his clone on the Idol clone show. That was until yesterday when Jimmy Kimmel did with side-by-side pictures of the two men and his reaction was classic to the second group of pictures.
My hat is off to Kimmel for asking what we all wanted to know. Although I didn’t need to know that the ABC host saw Ryan Seacrest naked and describe what it was like.
Before The X Factor started on Fox, announced judge Cheryl Cole was fired and replaced by then co-host Nicole Scherzinger. Now that the show has wrapped its first season, Simon Cowell hints there will be more firings. The Mean One told People’s TV Watch, “Can we make the show better? Yes. I will never ever go into anything going forward unless I can believe I can make it better.” He then added one way he plans on doing that, “Next year will be a bloodbath. We have to come out with something better than the rest, and that’s what we aim to do.”
Many suspect that one of the people getting the axe is host Steve Jones who didn’t really connect with American audiences and felt awkward during the eliminations. Also on the awkward front and not connecting is Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger and some are speculating she will do what she was suppose do in the second season what she was suppose to do in the first and will replace Jones. and just be a host There is a 50/50 that the Randy Jackson look-alike without the catchphrases might be gone and I for one hope that LA Reid is missing from the show because he added nothing for me.
I think Simon does have to clean house and just like The Voice he needs to get contemporary names to fill those all the vacating slots. Who do you want to see join the show in the fall to make you watch?

Simon Cowell is on vacation in the Barbados and I thought he was wearing one of his usual tight black shirts on the beach. Then when I looked closer, I realized that he wasn’t wearing a shirt but instead it was his hairy chest. Whoops!
BTW I love how his moobs and him think that they have The X Factor when they see two pretty woman walking by. Wonder if he made it through to next round…their hotel room?
Adam Lambert and his boyfriend Sauli Koskinen were arrested in Finland after getting fight at a popular gay bar. According to The Hollywood Reporter the brawl started in the club and then continued outside after they were kicked out. After the two were questioned they were release and then the American Idol runner-up Tweeted about it. He said, "Jetlag+Vodka=blackout. Us÷blackout=irrational confusion. jail+guilt+press=lesson learned. Sauli+Adam+hangover burgers= laughing bout it. :)" I wonder if the Finnish police are laughing about his Tweet as much as he is?
BTW Adam's boyfriend won the Finnish version of Big Brother, maybe the production company will give the two of them their own reality show over there to see what other trouble they will get into together? The lives of those crazy reality show stars…
Yesterday on The X Factor Nicole Scherzinger sang her song Pretty on the show. When it was done Steve Jones asked Simon Cowell what he thought of it and since he was sitting in her seat, he had some pretty words for her. He said, “I believe in you, you believe in me. You transcend the universe, G-d is smiling on you. Life is a waterfall, and you are the ultimate rainbow!” She didn’t get that he was being sarcastic and told him that what he said was beautiful. But let’s be real, he was him totally getting his revenge on her for all the stupid things she has said and done this season on the Fox show.
