Yesterday Simon Cowell announced that record exec/producer L.A. Reid will be joining him at the judges table when X Factor premieres this fall, but now a new report claims that one of the other seats will be filled by none other than controversial Pretty Reckless singer/ex-Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen!

Apparently producers of the hit Brit show think Momsen are attracted to Momsen's "young, hip and edgy” sensibilities, and told Celebuzz they think she'd be perfect for the show.

But Momsen just left her lucrative role on television in order to concentrate on making music and touring with her band. Would she even consider going back now right when her music career is really taking off?

Other names mentioned to fill one of the spots next to Simon are Paula Abdul, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Scherzinger and Cheryl Cole.
