Rihanna to judge US X Factor?

Simon Cowell allegedly wants Rihanna to be a judge of the US version of The X Factor.

RiRi is the latest A-Lister to be linked with the job on the panel, with sources claiming that the music mogul is keen to add the What’s My Name singer to the line-up for when the show launches later this year.
An insider reported: “To get her on the show would give it real star power,”

“Nicole Scherzinger and Cheryl Cole are also being considered for places on the judging panel, because they’ve got a proven track record of being great judges, but that doesn’t rule Rihanna out.”

They added: “She has a massive appeal and a real edge to her. Simon knows she wouldn’t be afraid to give her opinion.” The source also claimed that SiCo and Rihanna have already spoken about her becoming a US X Factor judge, with rumours suggesting that if she is too busy to do the permanent job, he will offer her a role as either a guest panelist or mentor. Afterall, we saw her meeting Simon in Barbados few weeks ago.
