It’s official: Simon Cowell has not yet totally cleaned out house to the X Factor.

With Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul and Steve Jones all the way from the Fox singing competition, the system introduced today that famous music producer L.A. Reid could be back for season 2.

The question, obviously, remains: who’ll join Reid and Cowell about the show’s panel? Mariah Carey has become a rumored term for weeks, using the latest chatter around Beyoncé and a ridiculous offer Simon allegedly built to Blue Ivy’s mom.
