As speculation over exactly who we’ll be seeing in this year’s series of The X Factorcontinues, Lewis Hamilton has apparently asked girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger not to return.

The Formula 1 star is reportedly worried that their conflicting schedules will mean they’ll be apart for too long, as Lewis will be touring the world with the Mercedes AMG racing team while Nicole would be sitting on the judging panel when it returns in the autumn.

An insider told the Sunday People newspaper: “Lewis has said to Nicole this is going to be and awful sitution and perhaps she shouldn’t do it.

“If he thought she had her heart set on returning he wouldn’t say this, but he knows she isn’t desperate to go back and thinks she would be happier if they were together.”

The source adds: “Nicole is also worried she won’t see much of Lewis so it is a big factor that will deeply affect her decision.”

Scherzinger has already made clear to the show’s bosses that if she were to return she’d want her £750,000 fee doubled, but she has still not been confirmed as a judge on the show.

The exact composition of the panel is still very much up in the air, with Tulisa not likely to  return and Simon Cowell hopeful he can persuade Sharon Osbourne to return and take her place.

Britney Spears has decided not to return for a second season of Simon Cowell’s The X-Factor. The news comes as no surprise to sources close to the show who were disappointed with last season’s lackluster ratings and Spears’ increasingly bizarre behavior.

Spears decided to jump ship before she was asked to leave by Cowell, who has been less than pleased by what he considered to be “boring” critiques by Spears at the judges table. Spears was paid $15 million for this past season’s work and will now be focusing her time and energy of her music career and upcoming 8th album. No word yet as to who will be replacing Spears at the judges table and the show hasn’t officially announced the pop star’s departure. The news comes just two months after Simon Cowell announced that judge L.A. reed was also planning to leave the show.

“The X Factor” has keep us on our toes to see who will take it all. In recent weeks, the balance of power shifted among country hopeful Tate Stevens to teen star Carly Rose Sonenclar. On Thursday night’s finale, Tate Stevens took home the title of the “X Factor”, becoming the show’s second winner and coveted $5 million recording contract.

“This is the best day of my life,” said Stevens in triumph. This also marked a win for mentor L.A. Reid, who announced last week that who would be leaving the show at the end of the season.

Carly Rose Sonenclar, mentored by Britney Spears, was a fan favorite. The thirteen year old New-Yorker had a diva-esque voice, took second. She and mentor Britney Spears shared a tearful exchange following the results. The young sensation is expected to sign some sort of a record deal in the future. Five piece girl group Fifth Harmony took the third spot. In the British version of the show, third place winner One Direction went on to see great success.

One Direction performed at the finale of the show, debuting their pop single “Kiss You” and joined on stage by Pitbull who performed “Don’t Stop the Party” from his 2012 release Global Warming.

Rumors have been circulating for months and now its official, “X Factor” host Simon Cowell has confirmed that he is dating Carmen Electra.
Simon sat down with Ryan Seacrest for his “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” show today to talk about the budding romance. “She’s not my girlfriend,” Simon said. “We are people who date.”
While he maintains that the two are not exclusive he did appear smitten with the 40-year-old beauty saying “She’s adorable isn’t she?”
The feeling appears to be mutual. The former Baywatch star recently had an interview with “Access Hollywood Live” where she referred to the talent judge as both “cute” and “adorable” not the two words that usually come to mind in regards to the prickly critic.
Both stars are only recently single. Simon ended a two-year engagement earlier this year and Carmen Electra walked away from a four-year relationship so its no wonder that they are taking things slowly for now.

It was a big night on ‘The X Factor’ when a double elimination had Arin Ray and Beatrice Miller packing their bags and heading home. This leaves only 8 contestants in the running as season 2 heads towards the finals. Co-hosts Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez revealed that the two young performers were at the bottom of the score board based on viewer votes and Ray was sent home immediately for coming in tenth place. Britney Spears tried to soften the blow of rejection by telling her: “You know, I think you should just take this as a learning experience and this isn’t the last people are going to hear from you.”

Miller was sent home after judges Spears, Cowell, L.A. Reid and Demi Levato came to a 3-1 vote to send her home instead of other low scorer of the evening CeCe Frey. Spears was again kind in her parting words saying: “Sweetheart, you are so young. You have so far to go. This is just the beginning for you, and the song you sang tonight was excruciating and hard, and you’re a true star in my eyes and you will always be.”
