Our X Factor correspondent Tony Cowell is giving ReelzChannel a behind-the-scenes look at our favorite singing competition. Our exclusive look at The X Factor includes revealing interviews with creator and star Simon Cowell and lead choreographer Brian Friedman.
For "Inside the X Factor" Tony Cowell gets his younger brother Simon to talk candidly about fellow judges, the talent in the US and why he wanted hidden cameras on the set. The opinionated judge also discusses a recent conversation he had with Ryan Seacrest, and how L.A. Reid is the most competitive person he has ever known.
Cowell also offers answers to some of our most pressing X Factor questions such as: what did he mean when he compared Paula Abdul to a puppy? And what happened that made Simon say that Nicole Scherzinger could be crazier than Abdul? Though after seeing this week's elimination of Elaine Gibbs, we think we know the answer to that one.
"Inside the X Factor" premieres Saturday October 22 at 7:30 ET and 7:30 PT. ReelzChannel is on DirecTV channel 238, Dish Network channel 299, and available on your cable or satellite system. Posted 10.20.11 by reelz -
Simon Cowell sits down to talk to his brother, Tony Cowell, about his new show The X Factor, and he's not afraid to share his opinion. He tells Tony which judge he considers the foundation of the panel, which is crazier than Paula Abdul, who needs Botox, and who is watching the ratings even closer than Cowell himself.
By far though, the best part of the clip is when, in classic Simon Cowell style, the host tries to say something nice and it ends up strangely mean and snarky. Somehow, when describing his excitement about being reunited with Paula, he ends up using a long-winded metaphor about a lost dog, and Abdul winds up being the metaphorical canine.

X Factor USA got off to a somewhat rocky start last night when 43-year-old blogger Geo Godley exposed himself to such an extent during his song "I'm a Stud" that Fox had to cover up his privates with a large X. Judge Antonio "L.A." Reid called it "offensive, disgusting, distasteful, upsetting," while Paula Abdul fled backstage and nearly vomited.

On its site, One Million Moms states, "The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive. Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket."

His brand is controversy and outrage. But in this case, even Sacha Baron Cohen thought it would be going too far. Following the sudden death of Michael Jackson on Thursday, footage involving an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson, which had been included in press screenings earlier this week, was cut from last night's premiere of Brüno.
In the scene, reportedly a setup similar to his ambush of Paula Abdul, Cohen's character Brüno creates a pretext to get Michael's number from her Blackberry. UPDATE: The scene will be cut from the theatrical release, as well.
Otherwise, the premiere went off in his typical over-the-top fashion, with Cohen arriving in character and in style at Grauman's Chinese Theatre straddling a gun turret on top of a glittery tank.
Later that night, he took things even further with Conan O'Brien. The clearly nervous talk-show host asked Brüno to show off his dance moves, but was still unprepared for just how up close and personal that would turn out to be.
