First it was Fergie, then Ellie Goulding - now reports say Simon Cowell wants Rihanna for X Factor.
Sources say Simon is desparate to beat Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings this year. An insider told the Daily Star: 'Simon and Cheryl have two months to find someone to sit in that chair and they want to get the right person. This year is an important one for X Factor. Simon can't be complacent and has to come back with a real A-Team. Rihanna would be a shock selection because she is not an obvious choice for a family show - but that's what he wants.'
There's also a question mark over the future of Louis Walsh, with Cheryl Cole keen for him to be axed.
