Cowell confirms new X Factor star

 Simon Cowell, 51, (see which U.K. show he's leaving) has confirmed there will be a role for a pregnant star (see whom) on the U.S. version of "The X Factor." Cowell didn't say what that role would be but that she wouldn't be a judge. (See which music executive will be a judge.) Rumors continue to swirl around the rest of the cast: A bride-to-be singer wants to be judge, a chart-topping pop star recently turned down an offer, and a former "Dancing With the Stars" winner reportedly is in talks to host the show.
