Demi Lovato hasn’t officially been asked to judge another season of The X Factor, but the “Give Your Heart a Break” singer would jump at the opportunity to do so. “I’m focusing on my music this year, so it’s going to be a lot of touring, a lot of promoting of my album, but I would love to,” she tells Extra. “Obviously, if they asked for me to come back, I’d say yes.”
Britney Spears, who joined the show in its second season with Lovato, announced her exit in January. Music executive L.A. Reid, who appeared during the show’s first two seasons, has also left the talent competition.
With Spears off the panel, Lovato hopes to see another chart-topping pop star on the judges’ table. “I would love to see Lady Gaga,” she says. “I don’t know if that is possible or not.”
Like Gaga — who just canceled her tour in order to have hip surgery — Lovato is on the mend. The 20-year-old broke her leg after her roommate cleaned their floors. “I slipped and fell in my living room and, God bless my roommate, but she’s not used to cleaning and so she actually “Pledged” the floors,” the singer explained. “Needless to say, that didn’t go very well.”
Fortunately, Lovato’s injury hasn’t prevented her from working. Hours after she was put in a cast (which she’s since bedazzled), the pop star shot the cover for her new single, “Heart Attack.”
“Thank God I went, because it’s my favorite photo shoot I’ve ever done,” Lovato tells Extra. “They were able to shoot it so you don’t see my foot.”
