Music mogul Simon Cowell has reportedly offered Beyonce Knowles a staggering USD 500 million to be a judge on US X Factor for the next five series as he looks for big names to improve the show.
Cowell, 52, 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, reported Entertainment Weekly magazine.
"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," a source said.
Meanwhile, American Idol judge Randy Jackson thinks Carey would be an "amazing" US X Factor judge and he hasn't ruled out the possibility of her joining the show.
