Kelly Rowland 'To Replace Britney Spears On X Factor USA
Kelly Rowland's judging career on the UK version of The X Factor may have been short lived but according to insiders the Destiny's Child star made quite the impression on head honcho Simon Cowell who apparently wants her to sit alongside him on X Factor USA. Simon is said to still be a big fan of the singer even though she was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger on the X Factor UK last year, with Kelly "most definitely in the mix" to replace Britney Spears on the third season of the US version of the show, a source tells the Mail Online. "Kelly knows the X Factor, she's aware of what it takes to be a judge and she's also outspoken. Simon has always remained a fan of Kelly's and she's most definitely in the mix to join the judging panel on X Factor USA." It's not yet known whether Cowell will appear with three women on the judging panel - or hire another man to replace L.A. Reid who alongside Britney announced his exit last year.Kelly starred as a judge on the X Factor UK in 2011 but after flying back to the US during the show and suffering from illness, it was reported that show bosses were umimpressed that she appeared to be neglecting her contestants. After allegedly demanding that her £500,000 pay be tripled if she made a return, the singer was eventually replaced by Scherzinger for last year's show. At the time, a spokeswoman for the star blamed 'global commitments coupled with the show's increasing demands' for Kelly's departure. It looks like Kelly could get a second chance to impress TV viewers as she is now being lined up to replace Britney and join Cowell and Demi Lovato at auditions in June - along with a fourth, as yet unannounced, judge.
