Simon Cowell, the “X Factor” producer finally and excitedly announced on Monday the two additional star powers to join this fall’s talent show as judges. "Can't believe it's finally happened. Very exciting!" he tweeted.

Britney Spears and Demi Lovato reportedly signed a deal to become “X Factor” judges, replacing Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, who were fired in January, including host Steve Jones, reports New York Daily News.

Spears had reportedly signed a deal worth $15 million. Lovato’s contract was not revealed. Being delighted for the two stars, the executive has good words for the new judges, according to Detroit Free Press .

"Britney remains one of the biggest stars in the world; she's talented, fascinating -- and I believe she knows exactly how to spot “The X Factor,” Cowell said.

"Demi's had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She's young, confident and enthusiastic."

The two pop stars will join Cowell, the show’s creator.
