Earlier this week we heard the exciting, if ambiguous news that the 'X-Men' franchise might spawn a live-action TV series with 20th Century Fox, with subsequent reports suggesting an 'X-Factor' team might take the lead instead.

With Britney Spears now on board, Cowell has narrowed in on a fourth judge. The one stipulation? She must be a brunette. So which brown-haired beauty has Cowell called on?

After the first season of 'X Factor' wrapped, Simon Cowell wasted no time cleaning house, quickly dismissing fellow judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. Now it seems he's found a replacement for one of them: Britney Spears.
