Ask and you shall RECEIVE, Kelly Rowland!
The former Destiny's Child starlet was well-received by UK audiences during her stint on the X Factor judges panel in 2011, but while she only ended up staying for just one season, she expressed interest in bringing her talents back across the pond for the US version!
Fast-forward to NOW…and it appears that her wish might just come TRUE!
Producers of the reality competition's stateside version are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with the singer, and if all goes according to plan, she'll be the lucky lady taking over for Britney Spears in the third season!
And we think it's safe to say that head honcho Simon Cowell is pretty thrilled with the news, as her salary demand of $2.3 million is MUCH less than the $15 million Miz Spears took in for her one-year commitment!

Ouchie!
Someone got a rosy-red tramp stamp and it looks like it HURT!
Can you guess the lovely lady who unveiled her new lower-back tattoo last night on stage?!
Here are a few hints…
The seXXXy international superstar recently dispelled rumors of her engagement, we wonder if it's because she searching for the perfect wedding own that will show off the new ink?!
She's also been in and out of court recently, fending off a lawsuit from a former bodyguard who swears she owes him $100,000 £65,407!
We bet that money would've been easier to come by if she wouldn't have been booted from X Factor, LOLz!!
Figure it out yet?!
Of course you did, the girl with the dragon rose tattoo is…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We hope Simon Cowell thought long and hard about his next steps while on holiday in Barbados, because it sounds like he has a LOT to sort out!
The reality TV maven spoke at the Britain's Got Talent season launch this past weekend and addressed some issues in regards to a possible UK return!
Simon, who's currently a judge on the US version of X Factor, used to judge the UK version, as well. He then, of course, took time off from the British version to focus on launching the one in the States.
As for whether or not he'd return to the XF UK panel?
Cowell stated:

Gorgeous!
Nicole Scherzinger shows us how truly ageless she is in the new artwork for her single Boomerang.
The black and white pic helps give the image a classic look, and the splashes of color are the perfect attention grabbers. Besides, she's too fun to not have some bright colors thrown in.
The X Factor UK judge filmed the music video last month, and even invited contestants James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas to tag along at the shoot!
Her second solo album is set to be released on January 7th, and we’re sure it will be musical magic just like Killer Love was.
There have been rumors swirling that Nicole won't return to X Factor next season and this new album could be a reason why.
Who has time to judge when you have to go on tour?
Then again, she is like superwoman so she can probably handle both.

Well, she certainly has cause to celebrate!
Nicole Scherzinger stepped out on the London town on Wednesday night to dine at Nobu (again) before heading over to The Box nightclub to get her groove on.
We bet the X Factor UK judge was celebrating her mentee James Arthur's win on the finale last Sunday.
We sure as hell would be!
Scherzy was a total knockout in a sheer Topshop LBD with tiered fringe tassels and black peep-toe pumps.
Just take a gander at those rock-hard thighs!
She completed her seksi out-on-the-town look with a delicate multi-strand gold necklace, a high ponytail, and signature smoky eye.
Werk it, Nicole!
