Beyoncé to become an 'X Factor' judge? Sunday, January 24 2010, 15:59 GMT By Catriona Wightman Beyoncé has reportedly been lined up to appear as a judge during the next series of The X Factor. Simon Cowell is hoping that the star will become the fifth member of the panel to cover for a pregnant Dannii Minogue, the News of the World claims. Cowell is allegedly considering adding a fifth category to the show so that both Minogue and Beyoncé can be judges. Meanwhile, guest stars including Eminem, Robbie Williams and Jay-Z would step in for Minogue when she is unable to work. "Dannii was brilliant on X Factor last year," an insider said. "Simon and everyone else would love to have her back. But there are real concerns that she isn't going to be able to combine motherhood for the first time at 38 and the exhausting auditions. "Simon leaves nothing to chance and is planning for the future already. He wants to bring in Beyoncé. And what Simon wants, Simon gets. Expect Beyoncé on the panel. Nothing has been confirmed yet because the deal hasn't been sealed with ITV but she'll be there in some form." Speaking about the possibility of guest judges, the source added: "It's difficult to get A-listers to commit to a six-month slot as a full judge, but a fortnight is a lot simpler. Simon wants to extend the mentoring to the judging panel so you get to hear what the stars really think." Negotiations for the next series of the show are expected to begin in April. http://ppt.cc/d6,o (digitalspy.co.uk) --
