Jessica Simpson is reportedly at the top of Simon Cowell's list to take on one of the coveted judging positions on The X Factor when it launches later this year.

A source told People: "There [are] loads of conversations happening at the moment. No one has been offered a judging role yet as new names keep coming forward who want the role, but there are some frontrunners and it's fair to say Jessica is one of them. She's very keen.

"She knows what she is talking about [and] is talented and likable. But Simon's not in a rush to decide. The judges have to mentor on The X Factor -- it's more than just turning up for a few hours a week to appear on TV."

Jessica is not the only person in the frame for a role, it was revealed yesterday that record executive Tony Mottola -- ex-husband of Mariah Carey and former boss of Sony Music -- is also being considered.

An insider said: "Simon and Tommy have known each other for years since their days at Sony and Simon has wanted to get Tommy on board one of his shows for a long time.

"They get on extremely well and this could be the moment where they finally get on screen together. Tommy's from the Bronx in New York, he's tough talking, doesn't pull any punches and will make great TV."

Other people mentioned as possibilities include Nicole Scherzinger, Mariah Carey, and Cheryl Cole.

Jessica Simpson In The Running For ‘X Factor’ Judge’s Spot

Jessica Simpson In The Running For ‘X Factor’ Judge’s Spot

Speculation and rumors have been circulating for a while now regarding the new U.S. version of Simon Cowell’s “X Factor”. Paula Abdul’s name had been tossed around and now sources are telling People that Jessica Simpson in is a frontrunner for a coveted judge’s spot!

“There [are] loads of conversations happening at the moment,” says the source. “No one has been offered a judging role yet as new names keep coming forward who want the role, but there are some frontrunners and it’s fair to say Jessica is one of them. She’s very keen.”
“She knows what she is talking about [and] is talented and likable. But Simon’s not in a rush to decide. The judges have to mentor on The X Factor – it’s more than just turning up for a few hours a week to appear on TV.”

I’m trying to picture Simon and Jessica together – it could be comedic gold. Jessica is so sweet and a little dingy sometimes and Simon is so gruff and blunt. I’d watch!

Maybe her wedding isn’t the only thing she’s getting into shape for!

Jessica Simpson is an American singer, actress, and television personality who rose to fame in the late 1990s.

Simpson was born in Abilene, Texas, the daughter of Tina and Joe Truett Simpson, who was a minister and psychologist. As a child, she began singing at her local Baptist church. At age twelve, Simpson unsuccessfully auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club. While attending J.J. Pearce High School, she signed to Proclaim Records, a minor Gospel music record label. She recorded an album, self-titled, "Jessica", but Proclaim went bankrupt and the album was never officially released except for a small pressing funded by her grandmother. This small funding however gained her minor attention and she gave concerts with other acts such as Kirk Franklin, God's Property, and CeCe Winans. Simpson left high school at age sixteen (she later earned her GED), and after Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola heard "Jessica", she was signed to the label.
