London, Dec 14 : `X Factor' supremo Simon Cowell is planning to hire Kate Moss as a judge for the show's next season.

Cowell is considering the Croydon-born supermodel to be next year's new face - to drive the show's ratings even higher.

The new plan indicates departure of Dannii Minogue, who Cowell refused to publicly endorse this week.

Asked if he'd spoken to Moss about joining the show, he said: "Yes. possibly. She could do something. For sure."

Cowell and Moss have become great mates during the latest series, which ended with a record audience of 15 million viewers.

"He said a man close to Amy offered him 5,000 pounds to find a hitman to remove a certain dealer from Amy's life," News of the World quoted Georgette Civil, as saying.

The extraordinary statement in Esquire magazine three years ago prompted the singer's tough producer father, Matthew Knowles, to say: "Simon wouldn't know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face."
