Cheryl Cole Reportedly OUT As US ?X Factor? Judge, Nicole Scherzinger Will Replace Her
TMZ Reports
Earlier this month, after all casting drama had been settled, we learned finally that Simon Cowell selected original judge Cheryl Cole (from the original UK version of The X Factor) to join music mogul LA Reid and former American Idol judge Paula Abdul to help him judge the US version of The X Factor. Singer Nicole Scherzinger had been hired to co-host the show with Brit Steve Jones. TMZ is now reporting that Cheryl is OUT as X Factor judge and has been replaced on the judging panel by Nicole. According to their sources, Cheryl?s thick British accent is the reason she has been dropped as a judge because producers feared the US audience would not be able to understand her!
Huge shakeup at Simon Cowell?s new show ?X-Factor? ? TMZ has learned singer Cheryl Cole will no longer be a judge ? and will be replaced by ex-?Pussycat Dolls? member Nicole Scherzinger ? Nicole was originally supposed to co-host the show with Steve Jones when it debuts in September ? but now, she?ll be sitting on the judge?s panel alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and LA Reid.
Cheryl Cole was dropped from the judging panel on ?X-Factor? largely because producers were concerned her English accent would be too difficult for an American audience to understand ? There were other issues too ? we?re told Cheryl and fellow judge Paula Abdul had a ?lack of chemistry? ? and Cheryl was more expendable. Producers now want Cheryl to return to the UK version of the show ? but according to sources, Cheryl?s royally pissed over how this situation was handled ? and may sever ties with ?X-Factor? entirely. With Cheryl out, Steve Jones will be the only host on the show ? which debuts in September ? while Nicole Scherzinger fills the open seat on the judging panel. Calls to Simon Cowell still haven?t been returned.
OMG ? wow! This is a HUGE shake-up! TMZ very rarely gets these sorts of stories wrong so I tend to believe this report ? which is a huge bummer because I love Cheryl Cole. If it were just a matter of poor chemistry, I think I wouldn?t be surprised ? but the accent thing, man, that sucks. I?ve heard Cheryl Cole speak (on X Factor UK and in various interviews) and I never found it too difficult to decipher. I?m sure we?ll be hearing more about this soon ? news like this cannot stay quiet for long and an official statement will have to come shortly. But ? dang ? Cheryl?s out and Nicole?s in as X Factor judge. Crazy, right?
