Simon Cowell Says Taylor Momsen Is "Not Being Considered" For X-Factor

Mr. Paparazzi

Simon Cowell continues to build anticipation around his upcoming reality show X-Factor. Just last week, Cowell said adding LA Reid to the judges' table was a "no-brainer."

As for who else will be sitting at the coveted table, the former American Idol judge addresses the Taylor Momsen rumors, telling Celebuzz:

"Who? I don’t know who that is. Unless there’s something someone’s not telling me. But no, as far as I know, she is not being considered."

When asked if X-Factor will be bigger than Idol, Cowell adds:

"Listen, I wouldn’t have decided to bring it over here if I didn’t think it would be a hit. I’m not doing this to be number three or 4. People had been telling me to bring it over here and I was apprehensive, but I figured someone would eventually try to duplicate it, and I didn’t want it to be in someone else’s hands. I think it will be great timing."
