Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers have been linked (professionally and romantically) in the past, but this time, Lovato is hooked up with the youngest Jonas brother as a part of her new stint as a judge on Simon Cowell’s “The X-Factor.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lovato and Jonas will pair up for the judges’ house portion of “The X Factor,” where final cuts are made and the Top 16 acts are revealed (four acts per judge). This year, each judge will be given a group to mentor. Although it is not yet confirmed, The Hollywood Reporter reports that the group breakdown will look like this: Lovato will mentor solo singers from ages 12-16, Britney Spears will mentor singers from ages 17-24, L.A. Reid will mentor singers from ages 25 and beyond, and Simon Cowell will mentor the group acts.
Although Nick Jonas has secured this spot as a guest mentor on “X Factor,” he still has his eyes on a judging position on “American Idol.’ He has tweeted that judging for the long-running “Idol” would be “a dream come true,” and his open campaign for the position has not yet resulted in a judging spot.

It seems like every day a new name pops up as a potential “American Idol” judge, but one celebrity has confirmed he is still in talks to get the gig — Nick Jonas.
“[There's been] lots of speculation … it’s something I would like to do if it was right, but it’s got to be right on both ends,” Nick told me on the set of “New York Live.” “It’s an ongoing discussion, but as soon as we know if it’s right … we’ll see. But regardless of whether or not it happens, my most exciting thing at this moment is being back with these guys.”
Nick and his brothers have united for the first time in three years to perform a one-off concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York, which they say will be the first of many to come.
“I would be the youngest [judge], but I’ve also been a professional musician for about eight years of my life,” says Nick, who isn’t shy about discussing whether he is tough enough to judge others. “That’s a major question: Would you be okay to criticize? If I can help someone be better, that’s the ultimate goal, not putting them down or making them feel irrelevant. As much as we are going to get along, there still is a bit of tough love there, which is important.”
