Everyone knows what happened the last time Cheryl Cole got involved with a US talent show. Let's just say it didn't end well.
But that hasn't put the producers of American Idol off, as they've reportedly asked her to become a judge on the next series.
Bosses of the show - rival to The X Factor USA, which Cheryl was axed from last year - have reportedly made a multi-million dollar offer to her.
The New York Post reports she is being touted as a fourth judge for the show, which is just about to crown its 11th winner.
A source told the paper: "It will be interesting to see how Jennifer deals with another beautiful woman sitting alongside her."
However, it is also thought she could replace Jennifer Lopez, after she sparked rumours she's about to quit the show.
J.Lo recently told The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "Now this is my second year - I don't know if I can go for a third year. I miss doing other things.
"It really does lock you down, which was nice the first year with the babies being three, but now they're getting more mobile, they're about to go into school ... so I just don't know."
Cheryl would be a considerably cheaper option as bosses are said to be willing to pay her in the region of $5m to $10m, compared to J.Lo's rumoured $15m to $20m.
It would also be a swipe at Simon Cowell by American Idol's creator Simon Fuller, as the pair have famously had an on-going feud.
Regardless, we'd love Cheryl back on our screens on a weekly basis, so we've got all of our fingers and toes crossed this turns out to be true.
