New photos show X Factor USA judges enjoying this year's season

Now that the new series of X Factor USA has officially kicked off, more photos from the live auditions round have emerged online.

The new pictures, which were uploaded to the programme's official Twitter page over the weekend, show the judging panel visibly enjoying themselves and even standing up in support of a performer on stage.

Britney Spears and Demi Lovato, the two new additions to this year's panel, seem to be getting along well with Simon Cowell and LA Reid, and former Disney starlet Lovato has even been joking with Cowell on social networking site Twitter:

"@simoncowell if you were a food you'd be crustaroni & cheese #xfactor"

'Hold It Against Me' songstress Spears also spoke out last week about how she felt "right at home" in her new role on the popular televised vocal talent show.
