Jessica Simpson Admits She's Up For X Factor Role!

I totally called this one!

Simon Cowell recently hinted that he would like to have Jessica Simpson on the judging panel of the US Version of The X Factor and it looks like it's nearly a done deal! When asked if she was up for the new role, Jessica said she has been in talks with producers:

"They have definitely talked to me about X Factor. I think it would be a lot of fun. It's definitely my life. To be a mentor for up-and-coming artists is right up my alley. I would have loved to have a mentor. I love watching people's dreams come true."

Sounds like she's dying for the job! Other possible judges include Mariah Carey, but she's about to have twins so I doubt that's going to happen. Paula Abdul, Nicki Minaj and Nicole Sherzinger are also up for female judging spots.

Who do you want on the panel?

Simon Cowell Announces New X Factor Judge!

Well this choice came out of nowhere!

After months of speculation, Simon Cowell has officially chosen the second member of The US X Factor's judging panel, and it's the former Chairman of Def Jam records, Antonio "L.A." Reid! (WTF).

Yes so it is not in fact Usher, who we all were hoping for, the second man is indeed someone who knows the industry inside out! So who else will be doing the music mogul duo? Well of course Cheryl Cole's name has been thrown around (but that's probably not going to happen). The three main women up for the two female roles are currently Paula Abdul, Jessica Simpson and Nicole Sherzinger. I'm guessing Paula and Jessica will make the cut!


Although Simon led us on to believe that Usher would be joinig him, he says he wanted "L.A" Reid all along:

"L.A. was my number one choice to sit alongside me on the show. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest ever music executives and of course a fantastic writer and producer. I am thrilled he has agreed to join the show, and for any artist auditioning, they know they have the chance to meet a true star-maker."
So who is L.A and what has he done? Well he's helped launch the careers of Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey and many more. Get this, 33 of his hits have reached no.1! So he'll definitely know what he's talking about! LA said that he can't wait to start his new role:

"I am proud to stand next to my dear friend Simon, one of the world’s most gifted and charismatic talent magnets. The X Factor provides an extraordinary opportunity for aspiring artists of every age and genre to showcase their unique talents. I truly look forward to discovering our next generation of superstars."
The US version seems to be a little different to the UK version. Solo acts and groups aged over 12 can enter and there is no age limit! On top of that the winning act will receive a $5 million recording contract from Cowell's own label Syco and will merge with Sony Music.

This time next year, someone's life will have completely changed!

Simon Cowell Reveals Cheryl Cole Is Not In Talks To Judge On The US X-Factor

Yes, for months and months the media have been speculating that Cheryl Cole will be joining Simon Cowell on the judging panel on the US X-Factor. But as time went on there were rumours that Cheryl's Geordie accent wouldn't make the cut as well as the fact that she's not known over there at at all.

Well now Simon has released the names of the stars that are set to be judges, and Cheryl is no where to be seen! So who's on the list? Cowell has said that stars that have been shortlisted include Justin Bieber's real-life mentor Usher, and former American Idol judge Paula Abdul! But Simon said it's very difficult choosing judges:

"I can't make up my mind. I've been meeting all these people every day and I like them and at the moment I could end up with about 23 judges on this panel. One contestant, 23 judges!"

The 51-year-old music mogul added that he's had meetings about the role with singers Jessica Simpson and Shania Twain. I really don't think Jessica would work well, but they would get a lot of viewers just watching to see what she does!

But as well as spilling the beans on celebs that may get the job, he also ruled out a few prospective judges, saying P Diddy is "too expensive" (he would have been amazing) and that he would "absolutely not" even consider the train-wreck that is Christina Aguilera. But it's ok she's judging a new talent show called The Voice, airing later this year.

Uh oh so Cherly is nowhere to be seen! But it's rumoured that she will act as a co-judge to Simon helping mentor his acts and choose who will be going through. (Boring)

So there you have it, we could have Simon, Jessica Simpson, Usher and Paula Abdul as the new four judges on The X-Factor. What do you think of that?
