Stacy Keibler Reportedly In X Factor Talks

Stacy Keibler is reportedly in talks to join “The X Factor.”

Simon Cowell’s singing talent competition has been looking for new faces since former host Steve Jones and judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger departed in January.

Now, in addition to rumored conversations with Britney Spears and other high-profile potential additions, Keibler is said to be in the mix.

George Clooney’s girlfriend is “in talks to join the show, but her lack of experience in the music business may make her more appropriate as a host,” a source tells the New York Post. “She looks fantastic and has bags of charisma.”

A source close to Keibler did not deny to Gossip Cop that the former wrestler is being discussed for an “X Factor” role.

It should be noted, however, that tons of names – ranging from Spears and Janet Jackson to Avril Lavigne and Mariah Carey – have been reportedly targeted as “X Factor” replacements without any actual deals being hammered out yet.

Cowell and returning judge L.A. Reid have said that the next two judges will be women, and that they’re planning to replace Jones with two hosts.

Gossip Cop is continuing to look into the Keibler hosting rumor.

    I like Stacy, but she does not fit in to a music talent show at all. Bad idea.

    Never value the valueless. The trick is to know how to recognize it.

  • Regina1180

    It really does pay to sleep with Clooney.

  • Captdolores

    What a ridiculous choice. For anything to do with X factor. She has no evident talent. She is attractive but has her moments. She dated George. She is tall and blond and smiles a lot. Simon you are losing your mind.

    ugh i don’t think she has any music profession. she was a wrestler… not a musician!

    if Stacy Keibler may be hosting the US X Factor that would be pretty awesome!

  • Chris451

    I have no idea who this person is or why she should judge a singing contest. She dates George Clooney? Who cares?

  • silver fox

    Yeah I don’t think Stacy would be any good for the show as either a judge or host. I think they should consider Joey Fatone as a host. He’s been in the music industry and he’s funny and would be good hosting.

    Oh, please say it is not so. How can anyone value her opinion he she is not a professional singer or dancer, or associated with those professions. Yes she came in second place on Dancing with the Stars. Simon I know what your head your thinking with and I suggest you use the other one for selecting your future judges for the X-Factor.

    Simon, you really should’ve kept Paula. She’s yur partner in crime and knows more about music than this woman. She was a wresler for God’s sake!!!! At least Paula had some hit songs. Yes she is drop-dead gorgeous, but she does not fit in with the other judges on the panel. Please think this over before you ruin the show.

  • Ahahha

    Simon should never kick Paula out of The X Factor… but he did anyway

  • Jennifer

    Oh for pete’s sake. What next? I think Simon has completely lost it.

  • Ridic

    Really Simon????
    GOOD WAY TO LOSE VIEWER’S.
    IF You Are Not Going To Be Serious About The Show….Then Why Should We?
