That’s right folks, due to a busy schedule and a preference to spend his time singing and dancing, ‘Glee’ breakout star Darren Criss has decided not to take over for Steve Jones as host of Fox’ talent show ‘X Factor.’

E! News exclusively got the scoop that, “They were after him,” a show insider said. “But there’s no way he could have done it with everything he has going on.”

Reps for Criss and Fox did not comment for this story.

Rumors are flying that Simon Cowell is going after all the lady superstars to take over as judge including Beyonce, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears.
