CHERYL COLE finally broke her silence on “The X-Factor” fire out. Its been a relatively silent past couple of weeks for the would-be reality talent show judge, but she finally opened up to star news about the brouhaha that got her hired as a judge, only to be kicked out for her accent and replaced with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger just a few days later.
CHERYL COLE‘s been rehired by U.S. X-Factor not a week after Fox fired her from the panel of judges for, of all things, her colonial accent. They’ve done and gone an about-face and reeled her back in, thanks to Simon Cowell.
Simon convinced Fox to give the English singer another chance, despite her pronounced North-East England accent, and lack of chemistry with seasoned X-Factor judge, Paula Abdul. A source says:
CHERYL COLE is officially no longer a judge on ‘X-Factor’. According to the latest entertainment news, Pussycat Dolls babe NICOLE SCHERZINGER will replace her on the judging panel.
Sources close to the show reveal the reason behind Cheryl’s dismissal: her thick British accent. Producers were concerned that her accent might be a hindrance in her effectivity as a judge, since the show will be catering to an American audience.
All the stars are out and about in Cannes for its annual Film Festival; the event is all about fashion and the big boys debuting their latest flicks.

The latest entertainment news is that former ‘American Idol’ judge PAULA ABDUL has just officially signed on to be a judge on ‘The X Factor’. Looks like Paula will be re-united with fellow ex-’Idol’ judge SIMON COWELL once more—admit it, you’ve missed the catty exchanges!
Paula, who left ‘American Idol’ to start her own show, ‘Live to Dance’ (which was a flop), was Simon’s first choice for his show. She signed the contracts last Saturday, making her an official part of ‘X-Factor’, which will be airing in September.
SIMON COWELL wants PAULA ABDUL and CHERYL COLE to be on the judge’s panel of The X FACTOR! It looks like Cowell has finally made up his mind about his judges for his US Version of The X Factor; which debuts this fall on Fox.
Cowell told Deadline.com all about how he’s been assembling his judge’s panel.
“First of all, it’s like casting a dinner party. You’ve got to have people on the panel you get on well with.” Cowell has made it clear that he has finally decided on his judging panel.
