Simon Cowell has reportedly spoken with Mick Jagger and Noel Gallagher about serving as judges on the US X Factor.
Cowell has apparently identified the rockers as ideal candidates to sit alongside him when the show begins on Fox next year, although it is unclear if the talks are in relation to a permanent position or a guest slot.
According to The Sun, a source said: "Simon wants to go one better than American Idol, who have Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler…with Noel and Mick top of his shopping list."
The former Oasis guitarist was previously touted by Cowell as his possible replacement when he quit 'American Idol' earlier this year.
They added: "Noel's manager met up for early talks and there is serious wedge on offer.
"Simon is a huge fan of Noel's songwriting and the no-nonsense attitude Oasis brought to Britpop in the '90s. He'd be great to dish out feedback."
Gallagher has previously criticised 'The X Factor' for failing to produce artists who achieve long-term careers.
