Cowell To Sign Sexy Superstar Rihanna as U.S X Factor Mentor?!?!
Posted on September 13th, 2011 at 3:26 pm by Nick Crew
It’s so close now we can almost taste it, but as the U.S X Factor draws near, news of the show’s secret plans is getting more and more exciting.
The latest reports being that Simon Cowell has just signed sexy superstar Rihanna to mentor contestants when the show gets down to the ”judges houses” stage. Good call by Cowell, I say!
Rihanna will be the second singing star to be brought in by Simon to mentor, the first being Mariah Carey.
I’m told Cowell is a major fan of Rhianna and is now pulling out all the stops now to ensure the X Factor is a HUGE success in America; he will stop at nothing until it is!
A source close to Cowell said, ”Simon loves Rihanna and loved having her on the UK show last year - so it’s no surprise he wants her back.”
Rihanna, along with Christina Aguilera, caused quite the stir on the UK version of the popular talent show when their performances received thousands of complaints for being too raunchy… Personally, I loved them!
But Mr. Cowell has admitted that the US show would need to be “a bit more toned down”… Ah, what a shame…
The U.S-version of X Factor will begin airing on Fox on Sept. 21, and I for one can’t to see Simon’s talents at work once again!
Mariah Cares about being American Idol Judge!

Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon has recently revealed that the world famous singer would very much like to be one of the new judges on American Idol.
The so-called Mr. Mariah Carey said: “You know what? She talks about it. She says, ‘I would love to do that.’ She is one of the greatest singers of our time; she would be great. I don’t know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do ‘Idol’”
Cannon, who hosts America’s Got Talent alongside Brit judges Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, might be able to pull some strings for Carey due to the fact that his boss is former influential American Idol judge Simon Cowell, who continues as executive producer of AGT.
To The Hollywood Reporter, Cannon said: “Simon Cowell was the anchor of the show. And when he stepped out, it’s like, now what? But as long as Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson stick around, I’m watching.”
Considering her reported mental instability, tremendous popularity, and extensive industry experience, I say Mariah is the perfect person to be the new Paula.
Cat Deeley: “I Haven’t Got The X Factor”

Dear ol’ Cat Deeley answered the question on everybody’s lips on Saturday night, as she revealed she didn’t have a job (as yet) judging the X Factor when it starts here in America next year.
The stunning telly host arrived at an event in Hollywood to celebrate her good friend Matthew Williamson, who was being named ‘Designer Of The Year’, as part of BritWeek.
All sorts of rumors have been flying around since Simon Cowell announced he was quitting American Idol to launch X Factor in the US, with former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole apparently being one of Si’s favorites.
But singer Sinitta let slip recently that Cowell was considering a number of big names, including Mariah Carey. She said: “It’s amazing that so many people want to do it… it’s huge. Everybody is up for it, Mariah… ok I’m not saying anymore!”
But Cat certainly didn’t rule out the possibility of being part of the new show, she said: “You never know, providing I’m not chatting to someone else.” Oo-er, what could she mean by that?
Well, I think Cat DOES have the ‘X Factor ‘ and would make a great judge, but when you think that she’s up against the likes of Mariah, Gaga and even Madonna’s name has been whispered in my ear a few times, you can see why she might have her doubts…
However, Tinseltown has been kind to Deeley so far, so you NEVER know!
Other guests included, Jewelry designer Zeta Graff, Lord Frederick Windsor and Lady Sophia Windsor, actress Jacqueline Bisset… Oh, and me…
BritWeek is an annual celebration of British people and business’ contribution to the Californian economy.
Leona and J-Hud Join Forces for SATC 2 Soundtrack!

One of the lates
t Tinseltown-tales is that singers Leona Lewis, winner of Britain’s The X Factor, and Jennifer Hudson, American Idol finalist, will be hitting the recording studio together for the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel.
Whether or not Hudson will reprise her role of Louise in addition to her vocal contribution has yet to be confirmed, but this news certainly can’t hurt chances.
Other female singers rumored to appear in the sexy sequel include: Vic-Bore-ia Beckham, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Bette Midler, and Liza Minnelli. Perhaps some of these divas will contribute to the soundtrack alongside Leona and J-Hud.
The idea of a Lewis-Hudson duet is literally music to my ears, especially when compared to Snoop Dogg’s recently planned collaboration with Susan Boyle, which is more like, I’m sorry to say, finger nails on a chalkboard to my ears.
