Britney Spears, Demi Lovato to Judge 'X Factor'
fFollowing months of speculation, Fox has finally announced thatBritney Spears and Demi Lovato will be judging the second season of Simon Cowell's singing competition show, "X Factor." Both pop stars appeared at Fox's Upfronts presentation in New York on Monday (May 14) for the big reveal.
"I am so excited about this whole experience. It's gonna be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done," Spears, clad in a body-hugging eggshell-white dress, said from the stage halfway through Fox's annual presentation to advertisers. "I'm ready to find the true star."
"Well we delivered," Cowell said as soon as the new cast hit the stage. "Rumors are one thing, but delivery is something else."
Lovato was equally enthused about the new gig. "I am totally stoked to be here because of not only the opportunity to be a judge here but the presence of you guys is just an honor to be standing next to you."
Perhaps most excited of all was returning judge L.A. Reid, who exclaimed, "I'm the luckiest guy in the planet, standing next to these three. This is the Rolls Royce of television right here."
The debut season of "X Factor" ended with major shake-ups, with two of the four judges -- Nicole Scherzinger, who reportedly pulled in $1.5 million and Paula Abdul, who netted $2.5 million -- leaving the show. It was reported a few weeks ago that Spears had nabbed a $15 million contract for the show, but the exact amount has not been confirmed.
Cowell closed his remarks with a warning to his forthcoming fall competitor, NBC's "The Voice." "This year, we are going to seriously kick butt," he said. "We're thrilled 'The Voice' has decided to compete with us and I wish them the most sincere luck. But second's not great."
Britney Spears has had seven No. 1s on Billboard's Pop Songs chart and five toppers on the Billboard Hot 100. Her No. 1s on the Hot 100 include her debut single "Baby One More Time," "Womanizer," "3" and her "S&M" collaboration with Rihanna. Spears has notched six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, including her most recent release, last year's "Femme Fatale." The pop/dance diva has sold 33 million albums in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan, and in terms of download song sales, she has moved 29 million tracks in the U.S.
Demi Lovato has tallied 15 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, with four of them reaching the top 40: "This Is Me" (with Joe Jonas), "Here We Go Again," the "Send It On" all-star charity single and 2011's "Skyscraper." The latter was the lead single from her "Unbroken" album, which debuted and peaked at No. 4 -- her third of three top five albums on the Billboard 200. 2009's "Here We Go Again" hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Her total U.S. album sales stand at 1.3 million, while her digital song sales total 9 million.
The two pop stars will be asked to not only judge contestants on the reality show, but also to mentor a group of performers. The "X Factor" contestants are, if season two follows the same format as season one, divided into Girls, Boys, Over-30s and Groups, and then assigned a mentor/judge to guide them through the rounds of competition.
Earlier this year, rumors of Mariah Carey and Beyonce joining the panel circulated, but were quickly shot down by Cowell himself. Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne were also reportedly under consideration for the gig. "X Factor" is still in need of a host to replace ousted British TV personality Steve Jones.
APNewsBreak: USPS halts closure of urban stations
&*rm home http://tinyurl.com/6uk75ld & store http://goo.gl/TBmOS
DES MOINES, Iowa — The U.S. Postal Service said Monday it no longer plans to close 600 urban and suburban postal branch offices and satellite stations.
The facilities in many cities serve as neighborhood post offices. The Postal Service announced last year that it was looking at closing up to 252 mail-processing centers and 3,700 post offices, as part of a plan to save some $6.5 billion a year.
It began backing off the plan last week, saying it no longer planned to close thousands of rural post offices but would keep them open with shorter hours. Monday's announcement, provided to The Associated Press before its official release, addressed 600 branches and satellite stations that had been included in the original study for closure and were expected to shut down sometime after Tuesday.
"Any proposals to close these facilities have been placed on hold and will not close at this time," said a statement from Richard Watkins, Postal Service spokesman in the Kansas City area. "Going forward, the Postal Service will evaluate how best to incorporate them into long-term plans for effective and efficient retail service."
The Postal Service has said it will also put forward a new plan for the mail processing centers later this week.
It has been struggling as people switch to email and other electronic forms of communication.
The Senate offered an $11 billion cash infusion last month, but Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said that amount fell far short of what is needed to save the Postal Service in the long term. The House has yet to take action on its own bill.
Among the post offices considered for closure was the Capitol Square Post Office in downtown Des Moines, where a rally was planned Monday in support of keeping it open.
The American Postal Workers Union, The National Federation of the Blind Iowa, a local law office, and the Alliance of Retired Americans planned the rally and informational picket.
They say closure would leave downtown residents and businesses without easy access to a post office. The elderly and those without cars or other transportation to the main post office are particularly concerned, said Lance Coles, president of the American Postal Workers local union.
"You don't quit providing what you do in order to survive," he said.
Pressure has been building on the Postal Service to extend a self-imposed moratorium on the closure of post offices and mail processing facilities. It was set to expire Tuesday.
Last week, 100 members of Congress signed letter directed to Donahoe asking him wait until Congress can act.
"The USPS is a major employer around the country and employs over 500,000 workers," the letter said. "With an unacceptably high unemployment rate, it would be particularly inopportune for the USPS to close facilities."
Some mail processing centers could still close or merge. For example, one proposal calls for the Springfield, Mo., center to have its work merged into the Kansas City operation and the Cape Girardeau, Mo., processing center work moved to St. Louis.
In Nebraska, the Norfolk and Grand Island centers may be merged into Omaha and Alliance work moved to North Platte.
The Postal Service last week reported a quarterly loss of $3.2 billion and said without legislative action, it will be forced to default on more than $11 billion in health prepayments due to the Treasury this fall.
The Postal Service is an independent agency of government and does not receive tax money for its operations but is subject to congressional control over major aspects of its business.
