Rapper Eminem wants to team up with Simon Cowell - insisting he'd make the perfect judge on a TV singing contest. The Stan hitmaker is adamant programs like Cowell's American Idol and The X Factor ought to have a panel of superstars calling the shots because they're better equipped to help wannabes prepare for life in the spotlight.And Eminem believes a hip-hop artist will never succeed on a talent show without an expert like himself to mentor them. He says, "No disrespect to the current judges but you need people who are global, platinum-selling stars. You need to prepare contestants for what it's really like out there, and what sort of pressure you are going to be under. So much average talent comes out of these reality shows, it's time to give people a chance who deserve it. Eminem's mom Debbie Nelson is set to marry her agent - even though he sued her last year (08).
Meanwhile the rapper's mother is to wed Neal Alpert, who filed suit against Nelson, her co-author and publishing company last April (08) for a share of the profits from her tell-all book My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. The case was dismissed in summer (09) and the pair has since rebuilt their relationship by becoming engaged.
Alpert confirmed the news to RadarOnline.com, while a source tells the website, "It's going to be a nice-sized wedding, that's for sure. When it comes to marriage it's not about the sex, it's about being with your best friend. He has always been a gentleman and respectful and never sold her out for a penny, even when he had the chance."
"A hip-hop star will never win a show like The X Factor without somebody like me on the panel. There are a lot of very talented hip-hop stars who would kill for a break in Britain but the judges aren't qualified in hip-hop. I keep an eye on the urban scene in Britain and there is a lot of talent out there. It needs somebody in power to open a door for them. "I am not sure I would have the time to do it full time, but I would come and be a guest judge."
