Does Simon Cowell have rocks in his head? Yes, but the sparkly kind. The 'X Factor' judge and creator reportedly is eyeing Rihanna for his panel ... as well as another pop star that will raise even more eyebrows: Chris Brown.
'X Factor' terrific twosome Britney Spears and Simon Cowell hit 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' to talk about how their mutual makeup artist helped get Brit Brit to take the judging gig.

"Sh-- happens, man. This is the business. It's not going to be all cute and pretty and tied up in a little bow," warned Christina Aguilera at one point during her keynote Q&A for the music conference jointly sponsored by Billboard Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter yesterday (Oct. 25).

Simon Cowell has been making the promo rounds, flanked by his 'X Factor' girls, on an assortment of TV programs.

She called him an "a--hole" on national late night TV. Go get 'em, Deemz!
