Children's category for next 'X Factor'?
Simon Cowell is considering introducing a children's category to The X Factor next year.

The judge hopes to keep the show fresh in 2006 by searching for child stars and signing up a new judge.

"It's all about spicing things up and keeping interest high," Cowell told The Mirror. "We're throwing all sorts of ideas around. The new category will be for 14 to 18-year-olds. Now all we need is a new judge."

Take That star Gary Barlow and Pop Idol's Nicki Chapman are being tipped to join the show as the fourth mentor.
