Kelly Rowland is set to join Simon Cowell on the x factor USA

Kelly, 32, is now 'most definitely in the mix' to replace Britney Spears on the third season of the Fox talent show, which airs later this year.
It's not yet known whether Cowell will appear with three women on the judging panel - or hire another man to replace L.A. Reid. Despite all this, Kelly is now being lined up to replace Britney Spears as a judge on the X Factor USA, and join Cowell and Demi Lovato at auditions in June - along with a fourth, as yet unannounced, judge.
