The Daily Star is reporting that Mariah Carey will assist Simon Cowel on X Factor in a role held by his ex-galpal Sinitta on the UK version:
UPDATE: Sources tell EW that Mariah Carey will join Simon Cowell on X Factor US in some capacity to mentor the contestants:
FOX has set the fall premiere dates for it’s new and returning series. Glee returns on Tuesday September 20, X Factor premieres with 2-hour episodes on Wednesday September 21 and Thursday September 22. The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards will air live in all time zones Sunday September 18 5pt/8et.

I usually avoid old news, but these newly-uploaded, high-quality videos from last month’s Fox Upfront presentation in New York City are hard to resist.
You cannot miss So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol finalists performing a medley. AWESOMENESS TO INFINITY!
Plus Darren Criss and the Warblers sing the Worst Song in the World.
And see Cheryl Cole as part of the X Factor presentation with Simon Cowell. So weird on hindsight.
Unless the Mirror is making up these quotes (and hey, they could be, ’cause that’s what British tabs do) Simon Cowell is finally speaking out on the Cheryl Cole debacle. Although Simon thought Cheryl would be happy to move back to the UK show, he reportedly chickened out of telling her in person. He sent X Factor’s executive producer Richard Holloway to deliver the bad news instead.
Jeebus WTF. I can’t wait until I can stop wasting posts on somebody nobody cares about. You Brits may not be able to get enough of Cheryl Cole. But here in the US. We Con’t Care. We Don’t Care. We Don’t Care.
The latest in the DRAMA? After more back and forth wrangling between camps, Cheryl is reportedly off X Factor for good. And she will be paid. Via THR:
Cheryl Cole was dropped from the judging panel on “X-Factor” largely because producers were concerned her English accent would be too difficult for an American audience to understand … sources close to the production tell TMZ.
There were other issues too — we’re told Cheryl and fellow judge Paula Abdul had a “lack of chemistry” … and Cheryl was more expendable.
