Janet Jackson and Pink Possibly Joining 'X Factor'?

Just one week after The Hollywood Reporter broke news that Whitney Houston was under consideration for a judge's seat on the show, reports have surfaced that another pop DIVA is throwing her hat in the ring.



After an awkward interaction with Anderson Cooper on Thursday, in which Janet Jackson tiptoed around the subject, sources tell THR the singer has expressed interest in joining the show. "Oh my God," the 45-year-old said on-air with a laugh. "No, I'm not a judge on The X Factor."


"You're not currently a judge on The X Factor," responded Cooper. "No, I am not," said Jackson. "But that's all I really think I should say."


Any talks are currently in the preliminary stages, as Simon Cowell holds meetings this week with potential candidates to fill the shoes of ousted judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones.


Another source tells THR that pop bad girl Pink is high on Cowell's wish list. The singer, whose real name is Alicia Moore, has credibility, Grammy awards and sass, plus "she can take on Simon."
