American press aren't interested in X Factor, its all about The Voice over there so he's probably trying to get column inches. The fact that its getitng more coverage over here when it will air on ITV2 4 months after the original broadcast speaks volumes.

You just know that his panel will be a let down. He's promising Rihanna but he'll probably end up with Nicole (who isn't big in America as she is over here) and Cheryl on the panel.
