Danni Minogue Signs to be X Factor Judge  4/4/07

Singer Danni Minogue has reportedly signed a $1.9 million deal to be a judge on British TV talent show X Factor.

Speculation has been rife about who would replace Irish music mogul Louis Walsh after he was sacked from the show last month (MAR07).

British newspaper The Sun claims Australian Dannii - the sister of pop princess Kylie Minogue - has agreed a two year deal to be one of two new judges on the revamped show, the British version of American Idol.

A source tells the newspaper, "She's sexy and she's been in the pop business for years so she knows what she's talking about.

"She has also just appeared on Simon Cowell's Australia's Got Talent as a judge and Simon is a big fan."

Among those hotly tipped to join Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Minogue on the panel for the next series are American Idol judge Randy Jackson and US choreographer Brian Friedman.
