Cheryl Cole has had quite the interesting couple of weeks because first of all she was hired as a judge on the X-Factor USA, then she was fired and replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, then she was back as a judge but now she is officially out
When I found out that Cheryl was back on I thought all of this was a publicity stunt but now Fox, Fremantle and SYCO all released a joint statement to TVLine confirming that Cheryl is not going to be apart of the show, here is what they say:
“Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor. Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of The X Factor.”
I actually feel really bad for Cheryl but I’m hoping that she does an exclusive interview and says exactly what went on. The real winner in all of this is Steve Jones, he went from being a co-host to now hosting the whole show.
Cheryl Cole‘s attempt at making it big in the USA by being a judge on the X-Factor hasn’t lasted long at all because she is now no longer apart of the show and has been replaced by former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger.
Nicole was originally just supposed to be a co-host on the talent show along with British newcomer Steve Jones, but now that Cheryl is off the judging panel she has been bumped up as a judge.
There is several reports as to why Cheryl is no longer a judge for the show but nothing has been confirmed yet. First of all TMZ are reporting that the producers for the show decided to drop Cheryl as a judge because her Geordie accent would be too difficult for American viewers to understand.
TMZ also report that chemistry between Cheryl and fellow judges Paula Abdul and L.A. Reid was pretty dire. On top of that they are saying producers want the British sweetheart to return to the UK version of The X-Factor but she is so pissed off she might ditch the show completely.
The Sun however are reporting that the reason Cheryl is no longer a judge is simply because she was homesick. A source says “it hasn’t worked out. She’s homesick and wants to return to the UK. She’s had enough. Whether she ends up back on UK X Factor is open to speculation.”
I guess time will tell, either Simon Cowell or Cheryl herself will end up talking about this within the coming weeks.
Well it’s now official that Paula Abdul will be joining the judging panel for US version of The X Factor, she will be joining Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole.
It’s been rumored for ages that Paula and Cheryl would be the female judges on the panel and now it’s a definite, this means that we will finally see Simon and Paula reunited and of course seeing what whacked up comments she comes out with on a weekly basis.
The first round of auditions have already begun in Los Angeles before the show premieres in September on Fox. As well as getting to feast our eyes on Cheryl each week we will also get a bit of Nicole Scherzinger because she has been hired as the host for the competition.
What do you think of the judging panel? I myself prefer the panel over on The Voice. Anyway, here is photos of the judges arriving for the first auditions.
I generally can’t stand Nicole Scherzinger but I have always agreed that she is one of the sexiest women and definitely has one of the best bodies in the music industry. Here she is in the new issue of Maxim Magazine proving just that.
She also spoke to the magazine saying…
On how Dancing With The Stars is different dancing to her music: “Yeah, it’s definitely more cerebral. Usually I allow the music to take me, so it’s been kind of interesting to be like, “One and two, one and two.” But I think there’s something sexy about a woman who’s in control of her body in every way.”
On the Pussycat Dolls: “A couple of the girls have left the group, but I’m still the lead singer, and I’m still working on music right now. I think the next single will be under my name.”
On her girl crush: “Halle Berry. She’s just naturally gorgeous…I love her smile. Wait, I sound like a dude; I’ve got to snap out of it!”
The lamest thing on her iPod: “I’d like to say I don’t have lame music. But maybe one of my lamest songs would be one of my own! I have demos on my iPod that are unfinished sketches; some just don’t make sense yet.”
Complex Magazine have come up with a list of the 10 hottest multiracial women in the world and they have got it spot on in my opinion, take a look..

Hmm the list seems pretty good but Olivia Wilde should not be number one in my opinion, thoughts?
So we all know that Nicole Scherzinger is the main girl in the Pussycat Dolls, well it seems the other singers (even though they are mainly only back up dancers) are sick of it.
The past two singles released from the group have even been released as “The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger,” now if you don’t know whats going on in the video above – the group were opening up for Britney Spears‘ Circus tour in Phoenix, Arizona.
Well, one of the girls in the group called Melody Thornton was introducing herself and went on a whole rant and started saying stuff like “thank you for supporting me even though Im not FEATURED!!” and “dont let anyone stomp on your dreams!”
As you can see it is extremely akward, especially when Nicole Scherzinger starts introducing herself and shoots off an evil look at Melody Thornton.
Here are pictures of the Pussycat Dolls attending an after party for the Circus tour in Las Vegas.
