Forget Idol, everyone is talking about Simon's new X-Factor these days. We've heard a million rumors in regards to who will judge the US version of the show, but Sharon Osbourne tells us there's only one name she's looking forward to.

“I think Simon should take Paula because they work so well together and they’ve got great chemistry," Sharon told Hollyscoop exclusively at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival celebration held at the W Hotel and Residences in Hollywood.

When asked if she thinks Simon would want her daughter Kelly Osbourne on the show, she said, "I think Simon would have the same opinion about Kelly that he does of me, that we’re both too opinionated. I think he had enough of me," she joked. "I don’t think he wants to take on another Osbourne."

Aside from Simon, Cheryl Cole and L.A. Reid have already been confirmed to judge for the US version of X-Factor and we hear Nicole Scherzinger has also been signed up for the show--but to host, not judge.

If Simon hired you to fill the judges seats, who would you want on the show?
