Latest 'X Factor' Rumor Roundup
Stacy Keibler, Britney Spears and LeAnn Rimes head up list of potential judges and hosts

Dating recent civil-protest arresteeGeorge Clooney has its privileges. Not only does statuesque beauty Stacy Keibler get to jetset around the world to various luxurious destinations, but according to New York Post, she's reportedly in consideration for a hosting gig on the upcoming second season of "X Factor."
The former WWE diva joins Britney Spears and LeAnn Rimes as the most hotly tipped potential additions, though music industry vets Spears and Rimes would presumably be pursued as judges. Although, if executive producer/residing talent-assessor Simon Cowell signs all three women (and if rumors that Stella McCartney might come on board as a wardrobe consultant hold merit), it would at least suggest that gentlemen do indeed prefer blondes -- provided one assigns Cowell such noble classification.
All we know for sure is that Avril Lavigne and Janet Jackson have passed on the opportunity, and kooky Paula Abdul and ineffectual Nicole Scherzinger remain fired. Cowell best tread carefully with Keibler though, unless he wants a leggy dose of this:
The second season of "The X Factor" will premiere this fall on FOX.

Who cares?! that show sucks, they are terrible. Hate the format. THE VOICE rocks. It is really exciting to watch. Im sick of Simon persona, and attitude. I hope they don't make any more of those. It is taking time from other good stuff that could be on TV right now. Go awayyyyyyyyy. BTW I was a huge fan of American Idol, but lately the suck too.
