Janet Jackson is the latest pop music star rumored to be in talks to join "The X Factor." Jackson has expressed interest in joining the show, but the talks are still in the preliminary stages. Whitney Houston was approached to be a judge just days before her sudden death. Since Whitney unfortunately can't fill a judge's seat on X Factor anymore, Janet's consideration is getting serious! She has said she can not comment on the matter yet and she has just sidestepped the question.A source close to Janet explains: "She wants a spot on the judging panel", but FOX has not confirmed or denied having discussions with her. Well, we guess we can't do anything else than waiting expectantly! (perezhilton)
