There is online chattering that the 'X Factor' creator Simon Cowell has offered Beyonce an astounding $500 million to join the show as a judge. It was mentioned earlier this week on Hunfington Post.

Nothing is confirmed and the number feels too high to be believed, but MediaTakeout claims their source is well-placed within Cowell's camp. For his part, reality TV's Grinch-in-chief is said to be desperate to breathe new fire into the show.

The Twitterverse exploded in a smattering of rumors. Over the past few days, Beyonce, Perez Hilton and Mariah Carey seemingly being top choices.
Beyonce hasn't given any indication that she's either willing or ready to take on such a high profile gig.

Regardless, it's abundantly clear that the show is going through a major, make-or-break reset. The pressure's on for Cowell, who walked away from "American Idol" and bet his American TV career on "The X Factor".
