Simpson for US ‘The X Factor’?
March 3rd, 2011 - 4:52 pm ICT by IANSLondon, March 3 (IANS) Singer Jessica Simpson is reportedly one of the front-runners to be on the judging panel of the US version of “The X Factor”.
The 30-year-old is at the top of Simon Cowell’s list to take on one of the coveted judge-and-mentor roles on the show when it is launched this year, femalefirst.co.uk reports.
“No one has been offered a judging role yet as new names keep coming forward who want the role, but there are some front-runners and it’s fair to say Jessica is one of them. She’s very keen,” said a source.
“She knows she is talented and likable. But Simon’s not in a rush to decide. The judges have to mentor on ‘The X Factor’ - it’s more than just turning up for a few hours a week to appear on TV,” he added.
Other people who are being tipped as favourites are Nicole Scherzinger, Mariah Carey and Cheryl Cole.
