Eminem to guest-judge on British "X-Factor"

Simon Cowell - best known as the acid-tongued judge of American Idol fame, and now featuring on British "The X-Factor" - has invited Eminem to become involved in judging the British talent quest, after the rapper commented that he thought he could be a good judge.

Cowell, who says that he and the controversial rapper are close friends, had this to say to London's "Daily Star" newspaper:

"It would be great to have him on as a guest judge. Em – I call him that because we are on first name terms – the job is yours."
