"X Factor" Judges: "Nothing is Set"

It seems like every day there’s another story about who the judges are going to be on Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor.”

Last week, reports were that Mariah Carey would be part of the show. This week, the reports were that Paula Abdul and Cheryl Cole, who served as a judge on the British version, were very close to being signed.

Today, a rep for Simon told “The Hollywood Reporter” that “nothing is set” as far as the other two judges, who will join Simon and L.A. Reid on the show.

In other words, don’t believe anything you hear or read about this until FOX issues the press release.

I have long said that if Simon could get Paula, he should. And since “Live to Dance” failed, it is a possibility. So, I’m hoping it happens…
