Elton John and Beyonce Knowles are being lined to become guest judges on British TV talent show The X Factor.

Show bosses want the pair to join regular judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh and make the new series - which kicked off on August 19, 2006 - a ratings winner.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "The judges' comments are what make the show, so throwing in a few different voices will really shake things up. "Elton is a big fan of Sharon's and is a huge fan of the show. He also has a reputation for making cutting remarks. So if he agrees, he'll be a great addition."
