This season of X-Factor is going to be full of surprises. Executive producer, Simon Cowell has planned to make the U.S. version of the show a hit — as TMZ reports, he’s officially snagged Rihanna as a guest judge.

As part of the show, judges are allowed to bring guests on to help them decide which contestants to mentor — and Antonio “L.A.” Reid, who signed Rihanna back in 2005, is planning to bring her on board to help him decide.

According to TMZ, the pop singer enjoyed doing the U.K. finale last year, and Simon undoubtedly knows a ratings cow when he sees one. -_-

Of course MSDTV will keep you posted. Stay tuned!
