RAP star Eminem will become an X Factor judge after Simon Cowell sensationally offered him the job.
The Slim Shady singer is set to join the regular panellists after the music guru told him: “The job is yours.”
Eminem revealed last week he dreamed of becoming an X Factor judge – and last night Simon made his dream come true.
“It would be great to have him on as a guest judge,” he said. “Em – I can call him that because we are on first name terms – the job is yours.”
Eminem asked to join the panel because he is desperate to find a new rap star.
“So much average talent comes out of these reality shows,” said the 37-year-old. “It’s time to give people a chance who deserve it.”
The controversial rapper, whose own work is peppered with x-rated lyrics, added: “A hip-hop star will never win a show like X Factor without somebody like me on the panel. It needs somebody in power to open a door for them.”
Eminem will join Simon and fellow judges Cheryl Cole, 26, Dannii Minogue, 38, and Louis Walsh, 57, in next year’s series after Simon revealed all this year’s panellists would return for the 2010 contest.
“I’m not getting rid of anyone!” said the 50-year-old, whose show has chalked up record ratings this year after he changed the format to allow audiences at the auditions and moved the results show to Sunday.
But he did fear Saturday’s show would be missing its usual sparkle after 18-year-old Irish twins John and Edward Grimes were voted off.
However, he said last night he thought the remaining five acts had upped the ante.
“I was nervous that we were going to miss the twins,” confessed Simon.
“Strangely, we have all become quite attached to them.
“But I did feel that this week it was just about the singing.” But the ratings did drop by half a million to 14million.
One fan wrote on an X Factor message board: “It’s not the same without you John and Edward! The sparkle has gone from the show.“
