Simon Cowell to hire Kate Moss for X Factor

London (ANI): 'X Factor' supremo Simon Cowell is planning to hire Kate Moss as a judge for the show's next season. Cowell is considering the Croydon-born supermodel to be next year's new face to drive the show's ratings even higher. The new plan indicates departure of Dannii Minogue, who Cowell refused to publicly endorse this week.

Asked if he'd spoken to Moss about joining the show, he said: "Yes possibly. She could do something. For sure."

Cowell and Moss have become great mates during the latest series, which ended with a record audience of 15 million viewers. Despite her lack of musical experience, Cowell says that catwalk queen has all the right ingredients to become the new queen of Saturday night TV.

He believes Moss could bring her experience of more than 15 years as one of the world's top models to offer contestants advice about life in the spotlight. "Anyone with the experience of surviving in this business would be great," the Mirror quoted him, as saying. "I've learned not to rule anything out. It's the unexpected, the bizarre, that's what makes it interesting," he added.
