After a poorer than hoped for debut season, Simon Cowell is doing everything in his power to bring success to “The X Factor” in the States.

With reports last week telling that Britney Spears has filled a vacant judge slot on the Fox competition series, TMZ has seemingly confirmed that Demi Lovato will be grabbing a seat on the judge’s panel, as well.

According to TMZ sources, the “Skyscraper” singer has “officially singed her deal” as one of the replacements for ousted Season 1 judges Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.

The report adds that Miss Lovato will be present at the Fox Upfront taking place in New York City on Monday (May 14) – with it widely expected that Miss Spears will be in attendance, as well.

Unfortunately, all the shows weren’t lucky enough to keep their spots. According to a network release, five programs have already gotten the axe – among those are two dramas, “Awake” and “Harry’s Law,” as well asthree comedies, “Are You There Chelsea?”, “Best Friends Forever” and “Bent.”

And with the Olympics coming this summer and two nights of The Voice in the fall, we’ve also got the tools we need to give our shows the kind of launch they deserve.”

It has also been confirmed by Greenblatt that, although there have been talks of certain shows such as “30 Rock” and other smaller rated series being on their final season, he says that’s not entirely true, explaining, “As they age [ordering a final season is] something you look at each year, but we haven’t definitively said that to any of them yet.”
