(Newser) – Who could possibly take the place of Paula Abdul on X Factor? If Simon Cowell has his way, it will be Beyoncé—and he's offering her a cool $100 million per season (total contract: $500 million) to do it, according to Media Take Out. If she accepts the full-time judge job, she'll be the highest-paid person on TV, reports the New York Post, which notes that the idea isn't totally out-there: Beyoncé would reportedly prefer not to go on tour for the first few years of Blue Ivy's life, meaning this gig could ensure the world doesn't forget about her.

Beyonce is talentless.  She is the worst dancer and singer ever to make it.  Who in the world thought she was good.  WILL NEVER WATCH X-FACTOR WITH HER ON IT AGAIN.  SHE SUCKS ASS

Who in the world would hide that gorgeous body behind a desk?
