George Michael to judge the X Factor?

I like this rumor! I hope it happens.

The Sun is reporting that George Michael has been offered and signed to be a judge on the U.S. version of The X Factor premiering on FOX in the Fall 2011. How exciting!

From Digital Spy:

George Michael has reportedly signed to become a judge on the forthcoming US version of The X Factor.

The ex-Wham! singer, who was released from jail in October after serving half of an eight-week sentence for driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis, has allegedly agreed a £1m deal to join Cheryl Cole on the panel.
