Cowell to turn to Rihanna to rescue ailing 'X Factor'

Simon Cowell will hold talks with Rihanna over Christmas about becoming a judge on 'The X Factor'.

The music mogul is keen to add the 24-year-old star to the panel of either the UK or US version of the talent show, and he plans to meet the brunette beauty in Barbados, where she was born, when he spends time on the island over the festive period.
