DAILY NEWS RED BLUFF TEHAMA COUNTY T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U NTY S I N C E 1 8 8 5 "The X Factor," Fox's other singing competition, returns Wednesday, Sept. 11, with judges Simon Cowell, Kelly Rowland, Demi Lovato and Paulina Rubio. The show made the news months before its Season 3 premiere because of Cowell. He has what the show's contestants dream about – the X factor, that elusive quality that intrigues people. It is star power, and the music and TV producer has it. Perhaps it's the mix of acerbic wit and scathing honesty, but Cowell found himself outshining the show because of fathering a child with his friend's wife. Cowell kept his own counsel about this in an interview with Zap2it and while promoting the show at the Television Critics Association. At this writing, all he'd say is he "is proud to be a father." Talking from his boat off the coast of Sardinia, Cowell says the third season of the show is "more fun and less sob stories. It is actually a funny show, and I don't know – there is more confidence in the team this year." Other changes include Mario Lopez returning as the solo host, a $1 million prize, and the three women and one man at the judges table. Though there will be four groups of singers, divided into "boys under 25, girls under 25, everyone over 25 and groups," another change is the hopefuls will not go to the judges' homes as they did the past two seasons. Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio (from left) are the judges on "The X Factor," returning for its third season Wednesday on Fox.
