Rihanna to mentor on US X Factor
The pop beauty Rihanna is set to help judge L.A. Reid choose his final four acts after Simon Cowell was so impressed with the Only Girl (In The World) hitmaker’s performance on the UK version of his talent show last year. Mariah Carey will also be acting as a guest mentor on the series.
A source told The Sun newspaper, “Simon loves Rihanna and loved having her on the UK show last year, so it’s no surprise he wants her back. He hasn’t officially announced her yet as he loves keeping everyone guessing. But fans are already getting excited.” The 23-year-old singer was rumoured to be in the running for a place on the judging panel, but she did not make the final line-up, which is comprised of LA, Simon, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger.
The 51-year-old music mogul, who left the UK X Factor last year to concentrate on his judging role on the new American show, recently branded a performance on the upcoming series “utterly s**t” during a short preview of competition.”
Simon admitted he was close to walking off the set, but explained his boot camp rant was because of poor sound.
He said, “There were about 90 contestants and everything went wrong. It wasn’t their fault.” —Bang Showbiz
