Simon Cowell lines up new X Factor mentors

Simon Cowell is reportedly looking to recruit a whole host of superstars as mentors for the current series of X Factor. Having secured advice from Lionel Richie, Westlife and Barry Manilow last year, Cowell is set to recruit Celine Dion, Jennifer Lopez and Elton John to lend a helping hand this time around. Furthemore, Kylie is expected to join the show at some point, aiding her sister Dannii, who is the fourth judge this year of course. Of the reported names, Elton has, of course, some experience of such situations, having previously played the same role on Pop Idol and American Idol.
