According to The Mirror, Donny Osmond really wants to be one of the new X-Factor judges. As previously reported, Louis Walsh has been dumped, and he's to be replaced by not one, but two judges, one of whom is said to be Dannii Minogue. They're apparently struggling for a fourth, however, and Osmond says he'd be more than happy to step into the breach.
Osmond is quoted as saying: "I'd love to be a judge, oh man, in a heartbeat. It's a show where talent is the basis instead of someone's personal hygiene, like on that voyeuristic Big Brother. I come from an era when singers didn't lipsynch, they performed. Show us what you can do!" A friend added: "He loves working with normal people and his fans. Apparently David Gest turned it down but Donny would love it."
A source from the show says: "Simon's got less than a month to find his man".
