Rihanna Will NOT Be Judging X Factor

Bummer!

Rihanna has confirmed that she will not be on the judges‘ panel when X Factor premieres in the U.S. later this year.

She did, however, confirm that she had been in talks with Simon Cowell, but the timing just didn’t work out.

She explains:

“It├óΓé¼Γäós something that I would have loved to do. But ├óΓé¼┬ª you have to be around months at a time, which is impossible for me.”

We see how that could be a major interference with her busy schedule, but we’re still sad that our girl RiRi won’t be joining the show. We can’t blame her though….

Guess that means that there’s a still spot open for PEREZ!
