Will X mark the judging spot for Nicki Minaj? Insiders tell The New York Post that Simon Cowell has met with this hip hop star about coming on board The X-Factor this fall as a judge. She would join recently-announced producer L.A. Reid on the panel if she agreed to make the move. “Simon thinks Nicki is fantastic. She’s sassy, she looks great and she has bags of personality,” a source tells the newspaper . “Nicki has a large following and she fits well with the ethos of the show, which plans to usher in a new generation of musical talent.” Auditions for The X-Factor kick off on March 27. This would be an unusual gig for Minaj to accept, considering her current popularity. Most singers join a reality show to revive a career (see Aguilera, Christina on The Voice and Lopez, Jennifer on American Idol ). Other names under consideration include Tommy Mottola, Nicole Scherzinger and Cheryl Cole . [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
