    Well Simon doesn't seem to be against a 3 women panel, with this article suggesting he wants Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio to make up the panel. Goodbye Ne-Yo?

    Get ready for 'Charlie's Angels' poses and internet teasers and promos with S.Cowell as 'Charlie'. Oh dear, pass us the sick bucket.

    As far as I remember from last year, Britney and Demi weren't officially confirmed till the evening of Upfronts, so expect an announcement, if there was one, in the evening,not now.

    I really hope we find out tonight I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be revealed tonight considering it is the Fox event tonight .

    Maybe Kevin R meant that he wasnt confirming anything on the conference call.

    Demi is definitley at the Upfronts as Lea Michele from Glee tweeted her about meeting there.

    Kelly Rowland and Cheryl have been the main rumours, Kelly is now unavailable as she announced tour dates that clash entirely..

    The don't clash..

    She still did a tour back in 2011 with Chris Brown, amid XF UK auditions and bootcamp.. besides, this tour is in America anyway

    Paulina Rubio is certainly a left field choice, if true.

    It seems like Simon Cowell is quite deliberately pandering to the Latino market by signing her. I still think the show needs an older female to anchor it- someone like Janet Jackson with serious musical gravitas but also quite a sweet personality. She's like a sober Paula Abdul.

    It's weird because Demi Lovato is actually Latin, from her Dad's side atleast :o

    I knew she was Italian but I didn't know she had Hispanic roots too?

    If they were trying to corner that market they should go for someone like Enrique Iglesias, who has real crossover appeal.

    From what I know of Paulna, though, is that she's a very dedicated musician and has recorded in places like Nashville and recently released an acoustic album. She seems very commited to the creative process and lists her main inspirations as the Beatles and Elvis Presley. Could be a very interesting choice!

    Now that American Idol are actively casting 3 new judges, I wonder if any offers will be made to those already associated with Idol.

    We know Idol came up with a better offer for Mariah last year, and she ended her (quite advanced) talks with X Factor to pitch up on AI.

    Fox boss Kevin Reilly confirmed it on a conference call. Judges have yet to be signed and won't be signed by tonight. What a let down.
