Simon Cowell could be about to write a cheque for $500 Million if Beyonce takes him up on his offer to become the new judge on The US XFactor.  Although Mariah Carey’s name has been tossed about, she isn’t exactly current like Beyonce who he wants to sign a 5 year deal with a $100 million salary per series.  He reckons she is the star who will pull in the viewers. 

Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul will be shocked when they hear exactly how much cash is available in the budget for Beyonce compared to the salaries they received last series and Beyonce’s god pal and ex-Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Roland will be even more shocked after she joined the UK XFactor as a judge last year. We’ve been told to expect an announcement in the next few weeks.
