Noel Gallagher is reportedly in talks to judge the Canadian and U.S. version of 'The X Factor.'
Music mogul Simon Cowell is said to be keen on upstaging his former show 'American Idol' -- who now have Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler on the judging panel -- by getting a big British rock star to appear on his new show.
He is a big fan of the ex-Oasis star and is keen to get him on board and has also laid down an offer to Rolling Stones singer Sir Mick Jagger.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon wants to go one better than 'American Idol', who have Steve Tyler, and has set his heart on British rock 'n' roll royalty - with Noel and Mick top of his shopping list.
"Noel's manager met up for early talks and there is serious money 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."
However, the 43-year-old rocker is not thought to be keen to work on 'The X Factor' and has previously rejected offers to have an Oasis night on the UK version of the show.
However, Noel did allow Leona Lewis - who was crowned the winner of the British series in 2006 - to record a version of his former group's 2002 hit 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' and has allowed pop hopefuls perform Oasis songs on the lives shows.
The 'Wonderwall' songwriter - who quit the band in August 2009 - is currently working on his debut solo album, while his brother Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye release their first LP 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' in February.
'X Factor' will be broadcast in Canada on CTV.
