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USA by being a judge on the X-Factor hasn’t lasted long at all because she is now no longer apart of the show and has been replaced by former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger.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.

Paula Abdul will be taking her vicodin party to “Star Search”, it has been announced.
After getting the axe from “American Idol”, Paula and whatever is in her Coke cup is heading to ABC for a “Star Search” reboot.
Paula is in the process of finalizing a deal to headline an updated version of the hit show for ABC. Reportedly, her role will be a combination of hosting and judging the new talent competition. Just when you think that she’s holding on for some “X Factor” hope, she signs up for this. Which is basically the same idea wrapped up in a different name….
The network was said to be wooing Paula ever since she announced her departure from “Idol”. After her departure, it was rumored that she would be taking part in “Dancing With The Stars”, but nothing ever came from that.
What do you think of Paula’s new job? Think it’s a wise career move? Or should she have held out for the bigger bucks working with Simon Cowell?

As we all know, the new season of American Idol is set to air without Paula Abdul, but that doesn’t mean she and her craziness is off our screens for good if new rumors are to be believed.
Paula, who is still friends with Simon Cowell, quit her judging duties on Idol because they wouldn’t pay her $10 million per season of the show. Now she has reportedly signed a $4.5 million contract with Cowell to judge on the US version of The X Factor.
The X Factor replaced Pop Idol in the UK a few years ago and has since become the most watched TV show on that side of the pond, which means Cowell is wanting to bring the show over to the US in 2011.
A source said, “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.â€
I sure hope Paula Abdul did her research on the show before signing the contract because there is even more fighting on The X Factor than there is on American Idol. It is rumored that Sharon Osbourne left her judging job on the show because of fighting.
Either way, The X Factor is way better than American Idol so the sooner it is on US TV the better.

Somebody out there thought it would be hilarious to make my worst nightmare come through by putting Ellen DeGeneres on another television show.
Yep just like the title of this post reads – Ellen will be replacing Paula Abdul and become the fourth judge on American Idol once the audition rounds finish up.
Speaking on her day time chat show she said..”I’m thrilled to be the new judge on American Idol. I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote. Hopefully I’m the people’s point of view because I’m just like you. I sit at home and I watch it. … I’m not looking at it in a critical way from the producer’s mind. I’m looking at it as a person who is going to buy the music and is going to relate to that person. I’m going to have a day job and a night job. The times we’re living in … we’re all doing that.”
Now, I’m all for working hard for your money but is she actually serious in her last statement? Sure people have two jobs but Ellen the thing is, we all don’t get millions for each job.
There has been no word from Paula Abdul, most likely because she is probably high from raiding her medicine cabinet.
During the audition process the show had guest judges which included Shania Twain, Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas and Kristin Chenoweth.
Bosses for Idol, which returns in January, released a statement saying “Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and understanding of the American public will bring a unique human touch to our judging panel.”
I know Ellen DeGeneres is the second coming to some people but I just don’t like her which is why this is my worst nightmare. Also what exactly are her qualifications when it comes to the music business?
