 Demi Lovato and Britney Spears Tweet X Factor Audition Excitement

The first promo for The X Factor season 2 asks viewers if they’re ready for a pair of very famous new judges.

But what about those judges themselves? Demi Lovato and Britney Spears sure sounded ready today when they touched down in Austin, Texas for their very first round of auditions.

“So excited to be going to Austin this week for @TheXFactorUSA auditions!” Spears, who was accompanied to Austin with Jason Trawick, Tweeted. “Will I see any of y’all there on Thurs or Fri?”

Added Lovato via the same social network:

“It’s my first day… woo hoo!! Who’s coming??!!! #XFACTORUSA.”

Approximately 200 hopefuls will face Demi, Britney, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid during four three-hour show tapings over the next couple days. And from there, it’s off to another city… and then another… and then another.

Which of the new panelists has you most excited?

UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that Spears walked off the set a few contestants in after a singer butchered her song, “Hold It Against Me.” It’s unclear if she was upset or just needed a break, but a few subsequent crooners auditioned in front of one empty chair.

 Bill Clinton, Porn Stars Mingle in Monaco

Bill Clinton was spotted mingling with his core constituency last night.

He also posted for a picture with a couple of porn stars. Obviously.

Across the pond for a “Night in Monaco” celebrity-filled gala at the Casino in Monte Carlo, which was also attended by actual stars like Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson and Rose McGowan, our 42nd president met these ladies of adult film:

The porn goddesses flanking Bubba are Tasha Reign, 23, and Brooklyn Lee, 22. The latter won the 2012 AVN Award for Best New Starlet! Awesome!

Fortunately, despite the unusual pic, it was all for a charitable cause.

The ex-POTUS was in Europe raising money for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and his extremely well-endowed William J. Clinton Foundation.

Hopefully that’s all he raised Wednesday. One can never truly know.

 Jessica Sanchez: Phillip Phillips Deserved to Win American Idol

Upon winning American Idol last night, Phillip Phillips dissolved into tears and hugged his parents. It was a beautiful, pure moment of happiness.

But, moments prior to that celebration, Jessica Sanchez treated viewers to a lovely moment herself: expressing true pride and satisfaction when her opponent’s name was called.

“I really think that Phillip deserves to win and I’m so happy for him,” Sanchez told reporters after all was said and done, adding of Phillip: “He has his funny side and his humble side and he’s just an amazing, original artist.”

The same is true for Sanchez, who may have lost, but who was involved in what most consider the best performance of the evening: a duet with Jennifer Holliday on “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” Watch, be amazed and wish this runner-up luck now:

SHOULD PHILLIP PHILLIPS HAVE WON AMERICAN IDOL?

Photo of Boy Patting Obama’s Head Finally Explained

 Photo of Boy Patting Obamas Head Finally Explained

When you’re the most powerful and famous person on Earth, every photo gives way to the next in a matter of hours if not minutes. Except this one.

By popular demand, it’s remained on display at his office since 2009.

An “aw”-inducing photo hangs in the White House’s West Wing showing President Obama leaning over to allow a 5-year-old boy to touch his hair.

The New York Times reveals the back story that led to the picture:

patting obama 521x325 Photo of Boy Patting Obamas Head Finally Explained

The boy in the picture is Jacob Philadelphia of Columbia, Md.

Three years ago this month, his father, Carlton, a former Marine, was leaving the White House staff after a two-year stint on the National Security Council.

As departing staff members often do, Mr. Philadelphia asked for a family photograph with the Commander-in-Chief, who happily obliged.

When the pictures were taken and the family was about to leave, Mr. Philadelphia told Mr. Obama that his sons each had a question …

    Jacob spoke first.
    “I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.
    Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, “Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?” He brought his head level with Jacob, who hesitated.
    “Touch it, dude!” Mr. Obama said.
    As Jacob patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped.
    “So, what do you think?” Mr. Obama asked.
    “Yes, it does feel the same,” Jacob said.

A great story, and a great shot by the White House photographer Pete Souza.

IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

IBM has reportedly banned the use of the iPhone 4S voice recognition service Siri, but not because it’s annoying or pointless. It’s a security risk.

Possibly, anyway.

IBM Chief Information Officer Jeanette Horan said earlier this week that destination for outgoing search inquiries made using Siri could be a concern.

siri 328x329 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

When people ask Siri a question the data is sent to Apple’s facility in Maiden, N.C. After that, no one knows what the company does with the date.

This alarms IBM, as Apple could be storing their information on their servers.

Apple doesn’t sayow long data is stored or who can access it, but Horan has made it pretty clear that the company is “extraordinarily conservative.”

Edward Wrenbeck, Apple’s Siri developer, downplayed concerns, saying “People already do these things on mobile devices. Maybe Siri makes their lives easier, but it’s not exactly opening up a new avenue that wasn’t there before.”

Well, except for cellphones getting racist or telling off Zooey Deschanel.
