More X Factor for Demi?Demi Lovato is sassy, opinionated, and not afraid to speak her mind so does that mean she's headed to the X Factor chopping block?
When asked after last Thursday's episode about Lovato's criticism of Simon Cowell's two remaining groups, the British host admitted: "It did get a bit bitchy and unpleasant." But that doesn't necessarily mean that the pop star will go the way of Season 1 judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger.
While Cowell refused to confirm definitively whether or not Lovato would be back next season, he had lots of praise for th new judge. "She's fun," he told reporters. "She really, really is a tough little thing. I know she plays the 'I've been bullied' [card] trust me, this one gives as good as she gets."
The four remaining X Factor acts, boy band Emblem3, Carly Rose Sonenclar, Tate Stevens, and girl group Fifth Harmony, will compete in the semifinals this Wednesday at 8/7c on Fox.
Speaking of The X Factor, Cheryl Cole only served as a judge for a brief period before being replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, but now the British singer has filed a lawsuit against the show's production company claiming they owe her $2 million, plus an additional $300,000 to cover expenses for wardrobe, styling, and a living allowance (via THR).
Cole claims that her X Factor contract required the show to "pay the talent even if the producer decides (for reasons other than the talent's breach of contract) not to use the talent and/or releases the talent from his or her obligations under the contract."
Castle is hosting another Firefly reunion! Gina Torres, who played Zoe opposite Nathan Fillion's Mal on the sci-fi series, will be stopping by the ABC crime drama to lay Samantha Foster, a fashion mogul who is appearing on a Real Housewives-esque reality show. Torres will appear in the 14th episode of the season, "Reality Star Struck" (via TVLine). The actress currently stars on USA's Suits as Jessica Pearson.Happy Drag
