Sharon Osbourne Agrees To £2Million X Factor Deal

Sharon Osbourne has apparently signed a £2million deal to return to The X Factor UK.
The former judge, who quit the talent show in 2007, has reportedly agreed to the final terms of her comeback and will sign the contract in the next week.
Her salary, if accurate, would make her the highest paid judge in the show's history. She is expected to rake in a further £500,000 in book and publishing deals.

Nicole Scherzinger and Gary Barlow are expected to return with a cool £1.5million each. Louis Walsh will apparently be paid £1million for what will be his tenth series on the show.

Simon Cowell Set To Hire Kelly Rowland For X Factor USA

Kelly Rowland has been confirmed to join Simon Cowell on the judging panel of X Factor USA - despite being axed off the UK show.
The former Destiny's Child band mate was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger on the X Factor UK last year. And the 32-year-old singer is now 'most definitely in the mix' to replace Britney Spears on the third season of the Fox talent show, which airs later this year.
It's not yet known whether Cowell will appear with three women on the judging panel - or hire another man to replace L.A. Reid.
I really love to see Kelly back, she was good on the UK show.
