Mel B. May Be Eyeing A Seat At X Factor Judges' Table

Spice Girl and DWTS' finalist Mel B. is apparently being considered to join Simon Cowell as a judge on his X Factor show when it hits the US later this year.

The Daily Mail reports that Scary went for a night out with X Factor execs here in LA to discuss her future with the show.

"The top level executives at the production company, TalkbackThames, took Mel B out for the evening and it was certainly to gauge her thoughts on the show – and to see if she would be right for a role," a source tells the paper.

The current configuration has Cowell joined by Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh, as well as Dannii Minogue, who may be out of the show due to the fact that she's preggers and supposed to deliver this summer, right when auditions begin.

But even though Mel proved her reality prowess on another Brit import, Dancing With the Stars, she's hardly a shoo-in.

"Mel is extremely temperamental – she won’t listen to anyone, so there could be fireworks on the panel," the source said.

Not that that's a bad thing!
