‘The X Factor’ Scores Big with Rihanna
Simon Cowell is pulling out all the stops to make sure the U.S. version of ” The X Factor ” is a hit — we’ve learned he’s snagged Rihanna as a guest judge. Judges on the show bring on guests to help them decide which contestants to mentor — and Antonio “L.A.” Reid , who signed Rihanna back in 2005, will bring her on board to help him decide. According to our sources … RiRi loved doing the U.K. finale last year, and the feeling from Simon was obviously mutual.
