Last year both Demi and Britney were confirmed as the new judges at the Fox Upfronts event. The year before, auditions had already started filming and so while it wasn't a 'reveal', the judges did attend the event.

Today is the Fox Upfronts event in America and it is thought that the replacements for Britney Spears and LA Reid will be confirmed.

Ne-Yo looks to be certain to replace LA Reid as he is the only male judge rumored for the role.

Britney's place is between Kelly Rowland () and Cheryl Cole..

Cheryl Cole is currently in America despite her American boyfriend flying back to the UK a couple of days ago. She's out there with her PA. No one really knows why she is out there, but she has been heavily speculated to have signed a for a return when meeting Simon in LA last month (Genuine pictures of Cheryl in a car arriving at Simon's home are on the internet, so it's fact that they have spoken.)

Kelly Rowland has an upcoming tour and the only night free she has is June 11th which is supposedly the first round of X Factor auditions, and so people are saying it's almost definite she has the job because she has appeared to be the front runner for some months and so the date free probably isn't a coincident.

If I'm being honest I think Kelly has the job. I don't like her and really think Cheryl would turn around The X Factor USA. Viewers would be interested because she's something new, something fresh - which is exactly what the show needs. But then again, if Ne-Yo has LA's seat then I can't imagine having Kelly on the same panel as him. Very similar artists and probably attract the same audience.

Either of them could get the job, but we'll know tonight unless they're not attending the event.. but that's very unlikely considering the past two seasons they have. Also, I've looked at the upfronts schedule and The X Factor does have a presentation but it's a question of whether Demi and Simon will do it alone? All very exciting though
