Will Rihanna be the new X Factor USA judge?

Despite being close to closing a deal with the X Factor USA, Britney Spears is out, but is Rihanna in?

Hollywood Life is reporting that all negotiations between X Factor and Spears are “pretty much dead.” With two vacant judging spots available, the buzz is on who will fill those seats.

It is rumored that Simon Cowell wants Barbadian pop siren Rihanna on his cast.

Rihanna and Simon previously worked together on the show when she was a guest mentor for L.A. Reid’s team, on the first season of X Factor USA.

This would grand for Rihanna and the show, however, we at JAYBLESSED.com don’t see how that’s possible with Rihanna in full movie and album promotional tours. Hmmm…let’s keep our ears and eyes open for this one.
