After months of teasing and titillation, the third season of The X Factor USA kicks off tomorrow on FOX.

Naturally, then, a slew of promotional slots have been lined up for the show’s stars. The most recent stop? A major one – ‘Ellen’.

The centerpiece of the new judging panel, Kelly Rowland, sat down with head judge Simon Cowell to discuss the show with the funny-woman earlier today.
