Cowell, who has gained notoriety for his outspoken nature on the popular reality TV series, has confessed he wants to sign the 32-year-old model for her celebrity status alone, the Mirror reported.

"I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not," said Cowell. "The thing about Kate is that she's a star -- it's the 'Kate factor.' People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting."

The 47-year-old "X Factor" star said he has no interest in offering a similar substantial deal to Moss' oft-troubled boyfriend, Babyshambles lead singer Pete Doherty.

"There's no way I would take him on," Cowell said. "I doubt he'd turn up for anything."
