Following the announcement that LA Reid would not be returning to The X-Factor next season, there's been all sorts of rumors on who might be his replacement on the show. But apparently Simon has already got a few people in mind, including Rihanna and Chris Brown. Cowell reportedly wants Rihanna to be part of the show so bad that he's willing to offer her a position on either the US or UK version of X-Factor, according to The Sun.
"Simon is a huge admirer of Rihanna and knows she's star quality," a 'source' told the newspaper. "As well as bringing an aura to the panel thanks to her current standing in music, she is also feisty and will make great TV. Simon loves these sort of characters."
The 'source' went onto talk about the possibility of adding Chris Brown to the judging panel on the US version of X-Factor.

"The US X Factor has improved on the first season's ratings but it's got some way to go to reach Simon's expectations. Adding Chris to the panel will certainly create a talking point," the source added.
When asked by Access Hollywood who should replace him on the show, LA Reid offered up a suggestion that would be pretty good also.
"You know who I would love to see take it, and by the way I have nothing to do with it, but my choice would be like Jon Bon Jovi," he said. "That's who I would pick."
We likely won't know who will be joining the judging panel until the early part of 2013, but until then it's always fun to speculate, right? Who would you like to see on The X-Factor judging panel?
