LeAnn Rimes is the latest celebrity to throw her hat in the ring for one of two open judges spots on the reality talent contest X Factor.
The country crooner has already had an initial meeting with a FremantleMedia North America co-producer to discuss a potential judging assignment following the departure of Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger at the end of the first season.
When asked about it Rimes said, “There are a lot of unknowns, but I’m always open. I love the show. I was a kid on Star Search when I was eight. I obviously have an 18-year-career in this business.”
According to show creator Simon Cowell, execs have been sitting back to see who would express interest in the two open spots that need to be filled before the second season kicks off. Earlier this week the former Idol judge indicated the decisions would be made soon.
Other high profile entertainers who have expressed interest include Mariah Carey, Vanessa Hudgens, Britney Spears, Fergie, Janet Jackson and Kelly Rowland.
Do any of these divas have a chance of making the cut?
