It looks like Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell could be spending even more time together once American Idol wraps in May. According to reports, Randy is in talks to join Simon and Sharon Osbourne as a celebrity judge on the British TV talent show The X Factor. Randy would replace former panel member, Louis Walsh.Randy thinks it would be a "fantastic opportunity" and says "I would love to do it. I can't wait to come to London . . . I love working with Simon. We're great friends."
Meanwhile, there is also talk of a fourth celebrity joining the show. The names of Jessica Simpson, Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, Scary Spice, and David Gest, have come up as possible contenders.
Paula Abdul's name did not come up. But that's okay. Petite Paula has enough on her plate already, what with her upcoming involvement in TV, movies, selling jewelry, and trying to remain coherent.
I wonder if this means Randy will be bringing the "Yo Factor" to The X Factor.
