The contestants aren't the only ones getting booted off The X Factor: Judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger have been shown the door, according to EW.com.

There are many trends in the fashion industry, and celebrities follow them obsessively. Often they take a similar look and add their own personal twists.

Bad fashion doesn't take the holidays off. Here's what we were grimacing at while waiting for Santa to deliver our presents.

Ordinarily I give shows like this the full mega-diary treatment, but ‘X Factor’ doesn’t seem worthy.

There have been a lot of stupid ideas on TV: AfterMASH, giving Christopher Moynihan a second series, that dancing show where Paula Abdul stood on a huge globe, but last night may have been the bigg...

Nicole Scherzinger stood out at "The X Factor" Press Conference in Los Angeles yesterday in a tight dress that showed off her ample curves. Fellow judge Paula Abdul went a more conservative route i...

Let's give it to the ladies of 2011 for making their mark in music and hollywood. Women dominated music this year (Adele, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj), while they didn't do half ba...

There are so many things I could write about last night’s results show. I could write about the super-awkward group number. I could write about the Youtube clips of the contestants’ families (serio...

Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul from "The X Factor" flimed a segment for the celebrity news show "Extra" yesterday at The Grove in Los Angeles.

I’m pretty sure this is the first time it’s ever happened. In the too-many years that I’ve been writing about various singing competition shows, I don’t think it’s ever come to pass that the contes...

In honor of ‘The X Factor’ starting its show last night with eight minutes of footage from previous episodes, I’m going to recap my ‘X-Factor’ column so far.

A day after a rain-delayed baseball game pushed back the start of 'The X Factor' Judges’ Houses week, I can’t wait to get started breaking down the performances from all the contestants.

After almost buying in last night, I’m now entirely in on ‘The X Factor’. The auditions for this show were terrible. Stale, over processed pieces of nothing that distracted from the music, judges a...

Last night, ‘X Factor’ just about redeemed itself.

We’ve reached the end of the audition rounds, and thus far ‘The X Factor’ has been something of a dud.

I’ve determined that ‘The X-Factor’ may be the ultimate TiVo condensing show. Even more than a baseball game (where you end up fast-forwarding in between every pitch), ‘X-Factor’ offers a bevy of s...

Kind of a sigh of relief on the second night. I have to admit, after the first round of auditions, I was filled with a bit of fear about recapping ‘X Factor’ for the entire season. Worried that I’d...
