Heading into its third season, X Factor is still struggling to find its happy place, thus far having a rotating door of judges and hosts. Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger were cut from the judging panel after the first season and Britney Spears, who appeared on season two, won't be returning. Second season co-host Khloe Kardashian is also rumored to have been pink-slipped by the production. But Demi, who quickly became a fan favorite on the reality competition, is thrilled to rejoin the show.

I look forward to taking my previous experience and applying it to make this season even better!”

Even Simon Cowell, who never minces words, is overjoyed to have the "Heart Attack" songstress back.

“I couldn’t be happier that Demi wants to come back this year,” said Simon. “She’s a superstar in her own right and was a fantastic mentor last year. Even though she can be really, really annoying—I truly enjoyed working with her and so did the artists. I’m especially pleased she’s back, even during her world tour!”
