Demi Lovato has reportedly signed on to appear as a judge on the upcoming season of the U.S. edition "X Factor." The 19-year-old singer will fill one of two positions left by the exiting Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, reports tmz.com. Lovato was reportedly in direct competition with Miley Cyrus for the job and beat out the former "Hannah Montana" star. The news comes amidst rumors that Britney Spears has also signed a lucrative deal to appear on the show.

It was only a matter of time before Johnny Depp played a vampire, and he plays a pretty good one in director Tim Burton's latest movie about the undead, "Dark Shadows." As Barnabas Collins, Depp gives another fun, outlandish performance as a vampire in the wrong century, though the movie itself doesn't really have anywhere to go and ends up wasting an interesting character that deserved a better movie.

Coming off of an exceptional box office run earlier in the year, romantic drama "The Vow" should have no problem scooping up its target demographic in the home market as well this week as it gets launched on DVD and Blu-ray. "Underworld: Awakening" and "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" are among the other top releases this week, with new Blu-ray versions of the original "Thomas Crown Affair" and "The Big Heat" also hitting stores for film buffs.
