There are some strong rumors going on around the industry that Simon Cowell might just bring a close associate on The X Factor. The name is not unknown to anyone...he is thinking of getting Paula Abdul on board.
Though it is not confirmed yet if she has signed up a contract or not but there is definitely an offer and negotiation taking place. Simon had already spoken very openly earlier as well that may be she won't be a judge but she still might be involved in the show.
Anyhow, it does feel that Paula Abdul who has done some eight seasons with Simon Cowell in The American Idol might be the fourth judge on The X Factor.
The finalized judges are Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and L.A. Reid. Paula's fans and those who loved her in the American Idol might be looking forward to the Simon-Paula TV reunion once again.
