According to News of the World, Cowell has his eyes set on adding a different element to the next season of The X Factor with not just one additional judge, but two.

“Simon leaves nothing to chance and is planning for the future already. He wants to bring in Beyoncé,” says an insider, who believes negotiations for the next season will be ironed out this spring.

While the ink is not dry, an insider says more often than not Cowell gets what he wants — even in the form of an extended guest spot.

“..What Simon wants, Simon gets. Expect Beyoncé on the panel. Nothing has been confirmed yet because the deal hasn’t been sealed with ITV but she’ll be there in some form,” says the insider. “It’s difficult to get A-listers to commit to a six-month slot as a full judge, but a fortnight is a lot simpler. Simon wants to extend the mentoring to the judging panel so you get to hear what the stars really think.”

This is News of the World, so don’t expect it to be true, but if it is, I think that she would make an amazing judge! I would even be happy with a guest spot, which is more likely.
