Who is Nicole Scherzinger?
Nicole Scherzinger brings F1 and Dancing With The Stars chic to X Factor —
[Jun. 9]
With a recently released solo album, being the long time lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls, Mirror Ball Trophy winner of the 2010 television season of Dancing With the Stars, songwriter, and occasional actress Nicole Scherzinger can now add title of Judge for the 2011 television season of X Factor (USA) to her impressive resume. Following weeks of rumors, Fox FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA AND SYCO TV made its official announcement June 6 that Scherzinger will indeed join former American Idol judge 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. Amazingly enough, this Pussycat caught wind of the change in her position from host to judge while reading her daily SUN. Should be a piece of cake for this veteran considering Nicole Scherzinger has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor UK back in 2010, right? Let’s hope so, because rumors swirling on June 7 and 8 were that Cheryl Cole got fired in her first weeks for having thin skin and a weak constitution (physically and emotionally). Battling clinical depression and a mean case of the blues, Cheryl Cole allegedly did not get along with perky Nicole Scherzinger. Adding the age old odd-man-out triangle scenario between Cole, Scherzinger, and fellow judge Paula Abdul, Nicole was moves from role of host to judge while Cheryl Cole was kicked off.
