Marc Anthony: newest ‘X Factor’ mentor

Marc Anthony is following the footsteps of Justin Bieber. The Latin singer reportedly signed up to be the next celebrity mentor on “X Factor.”

Sources tell TMZ that the two-time Grammy winner will be joining longtime pal Simon Cowell’s team to mentor the aspiring singers.

Anthony will be part of an already star-studded panel for the singing competition’s second season. It was recently revealed that Bieber will also be coaching the contestants with L.A. Reid.

There will be four celeb mentors in total—one for each judge—leaving the picks for Britney Spears and Demi Lovato TBD.

Cowell “won” the first season with Melanie Amaro. Will J. Lo’s ex-husband help Cowell win again?

“X Factor” premieres Sept. 12 on FOX.
