We know it's 'X Factor' time again when Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell start going at it -- on Twitter, during tapings, you name it.

Since Twitter is the No. 1 way to insult celebrities directly, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel once again asked celebs to read mean tweets about themselves. This time, Selena Gomez, Simon Cowell, Jessica Biel, Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil, among others, were invited to read react to mean tweets.

Apparently Simon Cowell would have rather had Britney Spears beating cars with umbrellas again on 'X Factor' instead of just, you know, showing up late once in a while. The crankypants Brit wanted his own highly-paid Brit to be more entertaining and a bit more of a loose cannon on the struggling Fox show, but instead she was just sort of ... off.

"Sh-- happens, man. This is the business. It's not going to be all cute and pretty and tied up in a little bow," warned Christina Aguilera at one point during her keynote Q&A for the music conference jointly sponsored by Billboard Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter yesterday (Oct. 25).

That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.

Yowza! Simon Cowell is throwing some shade at fellow singing competition shows in a big way. The ‘X Factor‘ honcho and judge allegedly is attempting to sabotage his competition at NBC, ‘The Voice.’

Britney Spears and fellow ‘X Factor‘ judge Simon Cowell are snapping back at persistent rumors of the drama surrounding the show.

Simon Cowell went through hell, high water, a conservatorship and $15 million to sign Britney Spears on to ‘X Factor.’ As a result, it’s going to take a lot more than the possibility of a meltdown to make him give that cash cow of a judge up!

Now this is according to The Sun so I'm not sure how much credence we should put into the story but, appearently the  "X Factor" creator had been drinking at Drai's nightclub in Hollywood last October when he met a woman and snuck her past hotel staff into his room. When Simon awoke the next morning, the paper reports that he discovered that the woman was gone along with his computer  wh
