Simon Cowell may be headed for the States to scout new talent again. Rumor has been floating around the web that FOX is interested in bringing back "The X Factor (US)" for a new installment in 2015.

According to British tabloid Mirror, Cowell will quit the British version of the reality series for the second time to relaunch the U.S. version. Words are, the talks are in final stage after "staff have put together a new proposal which has been very well received."

A source tells the site, "This is obviously fantastic news for Simon - all of the talks are going in the right direction for him to be back in America next year. He loves the States and he loved the show. It was a huge disappointment when it wasn't recommissioned last year. He is enjoying his stint back in Britain but the fact is, this is great news for him and his team."

"A lot of work has gone into bringing the US X Factor back, so hopefully it will all now go ahead without any glitches," the source adds.

However, Gossip Cop's source claims details regarding the possible revival of "X Factor (US)" are incorrect. The source insists, "This is just idle, speculative, pre-mature gossip from rumor-mongers presuming way, way too much."

"The X Factor (US)" was canceled after three seasons following modest ratings as it's faced with the competition from NBC's "The Voice".
