The X-Factor USA is here!

Fox’s much hyped British import has finally kicked off on American soil and looks set to be the biggest show of its kind.

Featuring judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Scherzinger, the show favours American Idol with its nationwide auditions. However, there is a defining twist in that groups and solo acts over 25’s are eligible to enter.

Unsurprisingly, with this being the boot camp phase hosted at the judges’ homes, the talented and talent-challenged are out in equal measure for a crack at progressing to the next stage.  With special guest judges Enrique Iglesias, Pharrell Williams, and Rihanna playing assistant to Nicole, Paula, and L.A. respectively, fans were treated to a brand new reason to tune in.

Check out the best and worst from this, the 7th episode, below…

Young Money labelmates Drake and ∫are at it again – this time on the cut ‘Make Me Proud’. Said to be the second lifted from the Canadian born emcee’s delayed ‘Take Care’ album (now due November 15th), this ode to successful women is being readied for the live treatment on his forthcoming SNL stint this weekend.

And, while the album’s first single ‘Headlines’ garnered little buzz for the rapper’s sophomore album (even after its accompanying visual’s release), will ‘Make Me Proud’ do the trick? You be the judge after the jump:

Who better to judge real talent than an Oscar-worthy actress who has for years fooled fans and followers that hers exists?  Such was probably the forethought of L.A. Reid when casting Rihanna in her latest acting gig as guest talent judge on the hit U.S. reality talent show X Factor.

At this stage of the show, each judge – Nicole, Simon, Paula, and L.A. – has separated the hopefuls into groups with each member of the panel inviting their respective groups to their homes for ‘bootcamp’.  To add spice to the broth (and hopefully to ratings), the U.S. spin-off keeps in fashion of its British predecessor in that each judge sought the assistance of some of the music industry’s brightest movers and shakers (and Rihanna) to lend their advice to the contestants.

Find out what the ‘We Found Love’ singer and Hip-Hop hitmaker Pharrell shared with L.A. and Paula’s crews after the jump:

Sharp tongued media mogul Simon Cowell may be used to dishing out the harsh criticism, but he was on the receiving end after his recent quoted comments on pop megastars Beyonce and Lady Gaga being ‘boring’ made rounds on the net.  Though shortly thereafter releasing a statement in hopes of mitigating the madness, Cowell recently took to another famous outspoken diva’s couch – Wendy Williams – to completely clear up the confusion .

While there, Cowell addressed a number of today’s top divas including Gaga, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and X Factor rival ‘The Voice’ judge Christina Aguilera.

Trey Songz taps into his poetic side in the full ad for ‘Evolution’ – the latest mens fragrance from Rocawear.  Departing from his routine flex to display a flex of acting muscles, Songz’ is seen reciting poetry while rolling in bed with a scantily clad model.  Demonstrating that his bed rolling is not just limited to his music videos, but can be extended to commercials as well.

And, if the ad is anything to go by, Trigga’s lead acting debut in the remake of famed horror film ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ will truly be a fright for more reasons than one.

We’ve shown you the teaser, now you can see Songz’ in action after the jump:
