Is Avril Lavigne Heading To The X Factor?

With 2 open slots on Fox's X Factor to fill, the folks might not have to look that far to fill at least 1 of the spots.  Avril Lavigne, former L.A. Reid protege,  is VERY interested in the gig and is out for the position.

Sources have been vocal to TMZ and tell the celebrity news website that Avril has had her people reach out to the folks at X Factor to let them know she'd like to be considered for the job.

Avril feels that since she came up in the biz at such a young age, she can mentor the kids on the show the proper way and get them pointed in the right direction.

Talks between both sides have already began so it's just a matter of time before we get official word on whether it's a yay or nay for Avril.

Besides her connection to L.A. Reid, Avril performed on the finale of season one of X Factor with finalist Chris Rene and you can check out that performance below.
