Fergie a possibility for 'X Factor'

Black Eyed Peas' female vocalist Fergie has been put forward for a possible judging position on the U.S version of 'X Factor', Simon Cowell has confirmed. 

During a public conference call regarding the rumours surrounding the coveted mentor roles, Cowell revealed that Fergie is a contender:

"All I can tell you is that her name was put forward,"

"But like a lot of other people we've spoken to, we have to check out everybody's availability. There's a lot of time you have to put into the show, because it's not a 'two-day-a-week' with this. When you're in the live show, it's because you're mentoring the contestant. You're working five or six days a week."
