Miley Cyrus or Demi Lovato rumoured for US X Factor

Miley Cyrus  and Demi Lovato are the latest celebrity names thrown into the  coveted X Factor USA judges’ panel ring.

E! News claims that former Disney star, Miley is the most recent big-name star to be discussed by Simon Cowell and fellow X Factor bosses as a possible addition to the show.

While a source told the website that no offer has formally been extended as of yet, Cyrus could be approached in the coming weeks.

And it would seem that another Disney darling is also in the running, as it’s being reported Demi Lovato  is reportedly closing in on a deal to join the judging panel.

The Unbroken singer is thought to be in final negotiations for the show, although a deal is by no means certain, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Representatives for The X Factor, broadcaster Fox and Lovato have not commented on the reports.

Speculation is currently rife as to who will replace Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul at the judge’s table for The X Factor USA’s second season, with Miley Cyrus also linked to a judging role today.

It has been reported that while no formal offer has yet been made to Cyrus, show executives including Cowell are considering her for the panel.

Avril Lavigne is said to still be in the running, while Britney Spears is said to be in final negotiations for a spot on the panel.

Cowell has openly said that he would be keen to sit alongside Spears as a judge, saying that he believes she would be a “fascinating” addition to the show.
