"Simon Cowell has revealed that the X Factor USA lineup has to be confirmed this week. Speaking at the launch of his new ITV1 gameshow Red or Black?, Cowell said that the full panel of judges would be required by the end of the week to begin filming. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t confirm the lineup. I&amp;#039;ll be [filming] on Friday, so at the moment it will just be me,&amp;quot; he told journalists. When asked whether that meant the four judges would have to be finalised by the end of the week, he said: &amp;quot;We have to... yes.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re all up for this. We&amp;#039;re all hyped up. We want to make &amp;#039;big event&amp;#039; talked about shows. I think things have got a bit drab and boring. The X Factor and Red or Black? will be something for you to write about and for people to get excited about. That&amp;#039;s what we do. We&amp;#039;re going to give it a go. And as a British company, we&amp;#039;re very excited about taking these shows all around the world.&amp;quot; Cowell would not be drawn on whether popstar Cheryl Cole had landed a role on the Fox series. It has already been confirmed that Simon Cowell will serve on the X Factor USA judging panel alongside former Island Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid, while speculation over the identity of the two other judges has been mounting in recent weeks. British X Factor judge Cole is thought to still be in the running after Cowell told Deadline that Fox executives had been impressed by footage of her in action on the UK show. He also hinted that his former American Idol colleague Paula Abdul could have a role on the show. Red or Black? is a Syco-produced series that will be hosted by Ant &amp;amp; Dec and will take place at Wembley later this year. Cowell said in a Q&amp;amp;A session that there had already been interest from American networks in the format. X Factor will air on Fox in the fall. &amp;gt; Simon Cowell: &amp;#039;Red or Black? is a risk&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Simon Cowell reveals gambling habits &amp;gt; Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Red or Black?&amp;#039;: The \u00A315m gameshow "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
