Nicki Minaj to Judge The X-Factor?

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]

Chris Brown Hopes to Sell a Million Albums This Week

He admits its a stretch, but Chris Brown says he hopes his new album F.A.M.E. , which drops tomorrow, sells a million copies in its first week of release. “I wouldn’t consider it jinxing myself, but I always dream big,” he said . “I would love to do like a mill the first week, honestly. And that’s really pushing, and I know that’s pushing, but I’m happy with anything I sell.” “If I sell 100,000 like last time, I’m cool. My last album, Graffiti , was only 100,000 the first week, but it was a lot more added to it back then.” Brown says these are more optimistic times for him, saying “right now it’s a more comfortable position. People are accepting the music now.” “I would love to just solidify that, as much as ya’ll wanna keep talking about stuff, bringing stuff up, ya’ll can’t stop (me and) my music.” “A handful of people stuck by me,” Chris said, referring to the Rihanna scandal and the two-year backlash he’s endured, rightfully or not. “But when [most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they turn away . They don’t want their name attached to anything negative.” [Photo: Fame Pictures]
