Earlier this week I told you how it was clean house day for the X Factor show and how judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger along with the show's host Steve Jones were given the boot. Now all the speculation has started as to who Simon Cowell will hire to replace them. It's no secret, he'd LOVE to get Idol host Ryan Seacrest but seeing as how he's under contract, that?ll never happen. Another name being thrown around, Victoria Beckham. But word is he's looking to hire new judges first and according to a source, he wants even bigger star power. Says the source, Simon is courting Fergie, Mariah Carey and Beyonce to be on the judging panel for season 2. No word on when we'll find out and still no word on when season 2 of the X Factor will begin

Is Nicki a diva? You be the judge. Here is a list of things that are on Nicki's tour rider:

Other Requests

Looks like some of Madonna's set list got leaked yesterday. According to CBSSports.com, It appears her set list will include her new single, "Gimmie All Your Luvin," along with "Ray of Light" "Vogue" "Holiday" and "Music."

Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. will be joining her on stage and maybe some other surprised too. Madonna will perform at halftime on Superbowl Sunday.

Don't go lookin' for Nicki Minaj's video for "Stupid Hoe" on BET...'cause you aint gonna find it. TMZ is reporting that BET has banned the video which shows a ton of nearly naked female figures, because it's simply too explicit for TV. The video shows Nicki in her usual mix of crazy wigs, neon lipsticks and bright eye makeup. And in one particular scene, she's shown striking a very provocative pose while she's rapping. As of this morning, Nicki herself has yet to comment on the banning.

Timbaland wrote the music for and was the executive producer for a new record in honor of Patriots star Rob Gronkowski this week. Wizz Dumb was also an executive producer of the song, which features the rapper Brasco alongside Timbaland.
