Kelly Rowland close to signing on as third X Factor judge - report
Music and TV mogul Simon Cowell is set to surround himself with 'angels' for the new season of TV talent show The X Factor with insiders revealing he'll have three top pop females joining him as judges.
Demi Lovato has already confirmed her return to the show and now it looks as if Kelly Rowland, who served as a judge on the show in the U.K., will join her.
EW.com reports Rowland is "firming up a deal" to join the show.
There is no word on the identity of the third lady but sources
suggest Latina singer and actress Paulina Rubio is in talks to
become Cowell's third angel.
The deals will have to be completed soon as The X Factor starts
production on season three next week (beg20May13). The new judges
will replace season two panellists Britney Spears and Antonio
'L.A.' Reid, who both departed the show in January (13).
