“X Factor” fans hoping to see Beyonce at the judges’ table next season are out of luck. Simon Cowell tells “Extra” the rumors that he was willing to pay the pop diva 100-million dollars to be on the show are “complete nonsense.” Simon points out that their entire budget is 100-million dollars, adding that it “would never happen” and he hasn’t
even spoken to Beyonce about it.

The television mogul says fans can also forget about seeing Mariah Carey on the show. He explains that he doesn’t think Mariah would want to make the commitment since she’s just had twins. Simon adds that he would love to have Carey on the show, but her schedule is just too busy right now.

“The X Factor” will be filling a few empty spots on its set between now and the start of its second season. Last week the show got rid of judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul and host Steve Jones.
