Beyonce offered 500m to judge on X Factor?

Simon Cowell has reportedly offered Beyonce Knowles $500 million to be a judge on US ‘X Factor’.

The music mogul is thought to be keen on acquiring the ‘Single Ladies’ hitmaker’s services for five series as he searches for a ”big name” celebrity to replace axed former judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul in order to improve the Fox show’s ratings.

A source told MediaTakeout. com: ”He wants a big name female star on the panel. Mariah [Carey] is good, but she’s not that hot today.

”He wants Beyonce because that would immediately give him the bounce needed to beat ‘American Idol’. ”

Meanwhile, Randy Jackson thinks Mariah would be an ”amazing” US ‘X Factor’ judge and he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of her joining the show.

The ‘American Idol’ panellist – who manages the ‘Hero’ singer – told reporters: ”She’d be amazing. I mean, I manage her, so of course I’m going to say that. She’d be amazing.

”I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen. Look, Simon’s one of the smartest people I know. I’m sure he he’s got some very interesting ideas up his sleeve. ”

Despite Randy being a judge on rival show ‘American Idol’, he would have no problem with the brunette beauty joining US ‘X Factor’.

He added: ”She’s her own person. She can of course do whatever she wants and she always will do that.

”Simon’s one of my dearest friends in the world. ”

But Randy – who sits on the ‘American Idol’ panel alongside Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez – admitted he was ”sad” to see Paula, Nicole and host Steve Jones axed from ‘X Factor’.

He explained: ”I have not spoken to Paula. We texted back and forth. I’m sad to hear about what’s going on with that show. All of those people are dear friends of mine. ”
