(Newser) – Britney Spears and—as TMZ put it—"some other girl" appeared in New York today to present themselves as new judges on Simon Cowell's X Factor. That "other girl" has 15 Billboard Hot 100 hits, by the way, and her name is Demi Lovato. A photo of the two singing gals alongside Cowell and LA Reid appeared on Britney's Twitter page before the official announcement, reports Billboard, so Spears preempted the roll-out a second time (the first when her stunning $15 million contract broke online.)

I mean really...what the hell do Britney and Demi know??They are both products of Disney...the don't even have much talent...kids are just told they do...and kids believe it!!!haha...guess that's why they were chosen.... Simon wants this to be a talent show for kids to watch...well...enjoy this disaster...it won't last long!!

What was Simon Cowell thinking? Betty & Veronica? Paula Abdul had more pizazz in her little pinky than these 2
