It is with heavy, heavy hearts that we report that Zayn Malik has officially left One Direction.

Remember the super mean "bush baby" comment from Simon Cowell back in the American Idol hayday? Well, New Zealand's "X Factor" puts that to shame.... You've never heard of Natalia Kills and Willy Moon, but they're both big pop stars in New Zealand (and married to each other) and judges on the show...

One Direction are going full-speed ahead -- and it has Simon Cowell worrying about them.

Niall Horan is speaking out about One Direction's future on his own terms.

One Direction fans are a dedicated bunch. So much so that the Directioners camped outside of the stadium in Colombia recently to listen to and capture the boys as they soundchecked and rehearsed for their world tour. You can get a taste, too, thanks to their diligence.

OMG, we can't even. Acid-tongued former 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell shared three photos of his newborn son, Eric, who made his grand entrance into the world in NYC on Friday, Feb. 14.

After months of speculation, the U.S. version of 'X Factor' has officially been canceled.

Male-female vocal duo Alex + Sierra, who are a couple in real life, have won the third season of Fox's ratings challenged 'X Factor.' The pair took the crown tonight (Dec. 19) on the season finale. Congrats!

She may be the reigning Queen of Pop, but this year, Madonna holds dominion over all the other celebrities of the world, coming in above directing powerhouse Steven Spielberg and the creator of a million reality singing competitions, Simon Cowell.

Cantankerous reality show mogul Simon Cowell now has even more to yell about, because it's being reported that a friend's wife is pregnant with his child. Yikes. Demi Lovato is going to have a field day with this.

Everyone knows that Simon Cowell may not be the nicest person on the planet. In fact, there are times that the man can be downright mean. But, during Britain's Got Talent's finale last week, one ex-contestant showed the world she really didn't like Cowell.

'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.
