Cheryl Cull: Cole axed from X Factor USA (Reports)

[Matt]

Breaking story:

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.

It's unclear why Cheryl is out -- but we're told the replacement happened very recently.

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.

Calls to Cowell's camp have not been returned.

Story developing ...

it's cruel to laugh at someone's failure I guess, but...

Feel kind of bad for her but ROFL/

Wonder if she'll come back to ours or not now?

[AJ.]

heh :D

oh wait.. noooo

:joker::joker:

[Marsh.]

I call a fake.

Why would Simon agree to kick her out before she's had a chance when he's fought so hard to get the American execs to hire her?

Plus, Nicole (whilst infinitely more talented) is hardly a much bigger name anyway.

[Matt]

Feel kind of bad for her but ROFL/

And does this mean Steve Jones will host XFUSA alone?

BAHA !

[King Gizzard]

hahaha

little bitch

[cub]

I'll wait for it to be confirmed, if that's okay.

However, I have a feeling X Factor USA will crash, and I think the UK one will too. I hope I'm wrong as obviously I like the show.

[King Gizzard]

Hope they don't let her back on UK xf even though they will

Be funny for her to be left with nothing ahah

[cub]

Try google dunm ass ;)

There is no confirmation elsewhere so far. You spelled 'dumb ass' incorrectly by the way.

If this is true, this is going to be all over the papers in the morning and it will be very damaging to the X Factor brand.

[Locke.]

Strange. Nicole isn't even that famous in the US either.

Hopefully Cheryl will be back on the UK one then.

[cub]

If contracts are in place for Tulisa and Kelly she can't return.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

she should be made to suck louis cock before she is let back on the panel here or something

Actually feel bad for her :( Strange though how she's attended every audition and now they've decided that they don't want her anymore.

[Marsh.]

She most likely would be, if it's true. With Dannii gone and X Factor UK left in ****, they'd beg her to go back on it.

[joeysteele]

Please all powers that be, don't have her back on the UK X Factor.

[Glenn.]

Actually feel bad for her :( Strange though how she's attended every audition and now they've decided that they don't want her anymore.

She dropped the UK without a backwards glance and you feel sorry for her?

I bet you she will be straight back on our X Factor like a shot, which is just a kick in the teeth for Danni.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Dont like her, but this is kinda cruel.

You are so right.

This is my initial reaction. Even though I was hoping for this, IT actually happening is sad.

She wanted to crack America, I had no problem with that. I'm not really bothered by the UK version anymore, I think it's run it's course.

Updates:

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 ... sources close to the production tell TMZ.

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.

A senior X Factor source said tonight: "It hasn't worked out for Cheryl. She is homesick and wants to return to the UK. She's had enough.

"Whether she goes back to British X Factor is open to speculation."

A TV insider revealed: "This will be a huge blow to Cheryl.

"The saga of whether she would get the gig dragged on for so long - and then to be pulled after a few recordings would be awful.

"It would be a blow to Simon too. He spent so long choosing the panel he would have wanted to get it right first time."

Doesn't appear to be any official word yet, but it's most likely true - TMZ has a history of breaking big stories including the death of Michael Jackson

[Beastie]

I have a bad feeling Cheryl Cole could end up hosting BIG BROTHER!!

PLEASE TO GOD NO!! I rather her stay on the X Factor :(

Lol. But there was rumours she would do it. What if Chezza has a change of heart. Doesn't want to be part of the X Factor but wants to reinvent herself as a "television presenter". It's a possibility and I would hate it to happen.

Dont worry she will be too depressed :devil:

[Kerry]

Gone a bit Pete Tong hasn't it?!

For Simon aswell as her TBH.

[Callum]

I knew they would use the term 'homesick' to describe this when it's obvious that the producers just didn't want her anymore. I bet Paula had something to do with this too, she's said to have had no chemistry with Cole so I wouldn't be surprised if she said she wanted her off the show.

[Zippy]

I don't think she was axed. That would be way harsh and I don't think Simon would do that especially after all he did to get her the gig. Maybe she just decided it was too much of a big move and prefers to do XF UK again instead?

it'll come out eventually.

[Omah]

[Zippy]

Hahahahaha ..... it's a farce - all this fuss for overpaid "celebrities" and talentless "wannabes" ..... :laugh:

well you seem to be very obsessed with them so...

[InOne]

Guess it shows a pretty face can only get you so far...

[Z]

Hardly a shock. Cheryl's a tomboy, she doesn't get on well with other females from what I've seen of her over the years; her chemistry with Dannii on screen is non-existent unless they're conspiring against Jamiroquai together, so I'm inclined to believe that she had eff all chemistry with Paula Abdul on screen and they kicked Cheryl because she's the new kid on the block. America wouldn't warm to somebody interfering with Simon/Paula's chemistry, especially not some talent show spawned British woman with a fairly impossible to understand accent to an untrained ear.

I enjoy the X Factor, it's the only program I really bother turning the TV on to watch, but I think it'll die a death now that Simon Cowell's set in motion the US X Factor, he's been off the boil for the past year, I think he's lost his touch.

[BBGermany]

whos Cheryl Cole??
ya anyways I dont think she should be allowed back on the X Factor (UK)
My dislike for the girl aside
She shouldnt have to put either Kelly or Tulsia (however u spell her name) through what she just went through.
+ didnt she "quit" The X Factor to "make it" in America. now after what happened in the states why would they take/want her back?

Also my dislike if the girl aside "If" this is true and she got axed then Fox should still pay her at least for the 12 months.....Everything ive read has been she has a 3 year contract with a 12 month clause in it....so if they did ditch her Fox would owe her for that 12 months.

Now my dislike for the girl
who the hell is she.
Ive been arguing the fact she is a no body in American pop.....The only way you would know who this girl is is if you are a fan of GA or have watched the X Factor......If you take a group of say 20 Average AI viewers ranging from teen to say 40 and ask them if they know who Cheryl is Ill bet that about 6-10 know who she is....

people Ive seen b!tching about this on various sites & are arguing that Nicole is a nobody...but the fact is is that Nicole is known more around the world Because of PCD than Cheryl or GA is. Who should have been a judge from day one & not co-hosting.

Im still laughing my ass off mainly towards the over obsessed fans who said she will be huge in America, the next "big thing" in America and accepting a Grammy for whatever next year.

[CaraRawr]

ahahahaha gutted for her

[arista]

"fellow judge Paula Abdul had a "lack of chemistry" ... and Cheryl was more expendable."

Paula is Tough
and more important to King Simon.

X-Factor USA still has to grow.

[Marc]

Hope she doesn't come grovelling back to us

Good Point Funky Zee.

[joeysteele]

The only people that Simon allows himself to be dictated to are the Americans though, he is always on about the States and he would never cross the American producers for his shows.

If this is true and she was dropped,then likely he was given his way initially to have her included but they haven't liked what they've seen and heard of Cheryl Cole and now he is overruled, for his prestige in the States he would accept that and allow even her to be dropped,I am sure of that.

Cheryl hates criticism of herself,although she likes to dish it out in big measure. She's not homesick,she's rarely in the UK anyway.

[Benjamin]

Great news to read first thing as I wake up. :hugesmile:

[cub]

Still no reponse from X Factor HQ? Doesn't look good.

[bbfan1991]

Great news to read first thing as I wake up. :hugesmile:

Indeed:D.

Might be a publicity stunt by Simon so she returns to XF UK with her tail between her legs, karma that she isn't his favourite lapdog anymore and that he chews people then spits them out. Silly bint!

[BringItOn]

Oh great, I was looking forward to our X Factor with all new judges and shes bound to come back now :/

[_Seth]

If this is true, then woah! I do actually feel for her. =/ I wonder how they're gonna cover it in the episodes. Will they edit her out? Or show her and then say that she's just left?If contracts are in place for Tulisa and Kelly she can't return.

Who are they and how would they get in the way anything Cheryl does?

That Show is Big Money into it
so Dropping her was Fast
and Fair.
The Yanks need to be able to understand her voice
she failed at that.



"Why-I Pet"

she may grunt

[Iceman]

Both shows are gonna fail there was nothing wrong with UK XF for the past 3 years.....Cheryl will come back, cry and you will take her back yet again.

[cub]

Who are they and how would they get in the way anything Cheryl does?

Well, if they have contracts signed then obviously they must go ahead with Kelly and Tulisa. I don't know how to put it more simply.

[Iceman]

The more I think about it, the more I think its a big set up, its garnered loads of attention for both shows and they can now go with the "She's Back" angle for the UK, she's dipped her toe in America and they've said "nah, you're alright", she'll fly home to the UK and stay on that show for a few more years...

[Iceman]

Well, if they have contracts signed then obviously they must go ahead with Kelly and Tulisa. I don't know how to put it more simply.

Considering we're talking about someone being axed from the US version I'd say they have very simple get out clauses.

[cub]

Considering we're talking about someone being axed from the US version I'd say they have very simple get out clauses.

I believe I did read there was a 'get out' clause in Cheryl's contract because of concerns over the accent. If Tulisa and/or Kelly have these, then you're right. We will have to see what happens next.

I can see Kelly have a more securely tight contract - Tulisa (because of fears over her potentially potty mouth) may not. If Cheryl was to come back then it's more likely she's take over Tulisa's chair.

I'm more concerned that Dannii's not returning than 'Cherylgate' to be honest. I can see Kelly Rowland being very 'nice' and rather bland. I think she will bore viewers frankly

[Braden]

http://www.*************/images/smilies/bb/laughat.gif so embarassing. When I read the story I actually couldn't believe it, it's the last thing I would of thought to have happened. Why would they get rid of her know because of her thick Geordie accent, it's not like they didn't know she had one to begin with.

[Z]

Kelly Rowland would be a dull judge, I'd rather see Tulisa take over Dannii's position than Kelly if either of those are genuine options; it's pretty insane how this has all blown up in the media, there's been virtually no response from anyone from the X Factor, it's all speculation that's been accepted as fact.

I agree with you on all points.

I do now believe it to be true. I did question the one 'souce' yesterday, but no immediate denial speaks volumes to me. I imagine there is frantic work behind the scenes ready to do either some damage limitation ("Cheryl is homesick!" "Cheryl has come back to 'save' the UK X Factor!") or they may just hold their hands up and admit Cheryl's introduction into US culture been a complete car crash.

When the X Factor is finally shown in the US I imagine that they will erase her completely from all footage. Which may be why they've acted so quickly in dumping her.

[Tom4784]

She'll come running back to the UK one with her tail between her legs sadly. I wish the US kept her.

[letmein]

Strange. Nicole isn't even that famous in the US either.


Yes she is. She's the front woman of the Pussycat Dolls, which were/are huge in the US.

[joeysteele]

I doubt it was just the accent thing with Cheryl Cole and the USA,they likely disliked most of what they know and have learned about her,plus her attitude too.

[LaLaLand]

Lol, I was grinning like mad reading this! She shouldn't be welcomed back onto our series unless she's replacing Tulisa and Kelly Rowland stays on panel.

[Stevep]

Knowing Simon and his love for controversy (bad press is good press), wouldn't be surprised if this was all planned!

[Smithy]

ahahahahaha watch her come crawling back now

[_Seth]

If contracts are in place for Tulisa and Kelly she can't return.

Well, if they have contracts signed then obviously they must go ahead with Kelly and Tulisa. I don't know how to put it more simply.
Who is Tulisa? I've never heard of her or Kelly Rowland being judges. =/
When the X Factor is finally shown in the US I imagine that they will erase her completely from all footage.

There's no way they would or even be able to do this. Would they just never show shots of all 3 judges at once or something? What if Cheryl's arm is in a good shot or something? :rolleyes:

[Marsh.]

I knew they would use the term 'homesick' to describe this when it's obvious that the producers just didn't want her anymore. I bet Paula had something to do with this too, she's said to have had no chemistry with Cole so I wouldn't be surprised if she said she wanted her off the show.

Not having chemistry with someone doesn't mean they don't like each other. It just means they don't have that "spark" that makes them a watchable duo.

Like Louis and Sharon always "clicked".

[Marsh.]

Why are people being so cruel about "turning her back on the UK", "she'll come crawling back" etc as though she abandoned you personally? Lol, get over it.

Fgs, the girl had an opportunity to try something huge in America. It may have gone to pot now, but at least she had the balls to give it a go.

The executive at Fox are the idiots, shouldn't have hired her in the first place if they don't like her or fear her accent's too thick. Complete waste of time. Although wouldn't surprise me if it was done just for the sake of the annual "X Factor UK disaster" like last years autotune fiasco.

[james130]

Fat lazy Americans cba to decipher what she's saying.

Serves her right for just going off to the USA like that. Actually no, we don't want her. Seems they don't want her either. :joker:

No its more Complex
Paula is far more important to that new show,
if she can not get on with spikey Cheryl
she had to go.


Typical of King Simon

TMZ leaked it from backstage.

Its still not on Air Yet.
They are recording shows

Where does it say they don't get on? A "lack of chemistry" is like when Brian Friedman left the UK panel. It wasn't that he didn't get on with the other judges, it just didn't work and he didn't gel.

[arista]

"Where does it say they don't get on"

Paula will not say it.
but producers watch every second
and if those watching that recorded show
are un happy with the Why -I lass - she is gone.


Thats How life Is.

Someone should have Shouted at her TMZ,
they had the info first.


She has had No Recent Contact With Simon
as he is Working Hard - Unlike her.

Let's see, then. Shall we?

Honestly, they've apparently done a third of auditions. What would they do? Edit every frame that has Cheryl in it with a fake bit of whatever the background is?

[BBfanUSA]

they can just say she was a guest judge

i dunno if any1 had said this but does this mean Steve Jones is winging it by himself or is she doing both roles?

Sinitta always likes to propagate the idea she is Simon's eyes and ears. She is nothing of the sort.

[GypsyGoth]

She didn't get much of a chance, that's a shame.

[ElProximo]

Brits have to keep in mind that nearly nobody in the USA has so much as the slightest clue who either of them are.
Basically zero name recognition. Unknowns. Almost nobody would recognize their names or faces or even any of their songs or movies or anything.

Blaming it on her accent is pure BS, she isn't THAT hard to understand.

Steve Jones is harder to understand and hes presenting the show! expect him gone next, its all about big names not accents.

I've noticed that a lot of American programmes don't even have American regional accents - they all seem to be 'mainstream standard American'.

"CHERYL WHO?
Her lack of public profile in America was always going to be a challenge.

In trailers for the show, approved by Simon, Cheryl is billed simply as a ‘platinum-selling artist’, and her role is glossed over.

By contrast, Simon is gushing in his praise for Paula Abdul.

Simon apparently told Cheryl she should attend parties, awards ceremonies and be seen looking fabulous and flirting with young stars to build up her profile. However, she has stayed in her hotel room.

Cheryl seems to have thought just being herself would be enough. ‘America’s gonna love this,’ she said when she was confirmed as a judge. It seems it didn’t."
Oh well suits you right you arrogant misfit. How is she going to face the people she stomped on along the way because she really thought she was what the UK press hyped her up to be? Haha. This brings her back down to earth nicely....well at least a little bit. She has too much pride to go back to X factor.


But she still has william and derek hough. maybe they'll help her out in exchange for a threesome. You'll have to beg for success there now hahaha

[joeysteele]

She won't have liked herself one bit 'not' being thought of as a glamour girl and nice person, (2 things she sure is not), in the States.

She is massively overrated and when she cannot control it has a very nasty streak and attitude too.

I don't get why the press are drumming her up as being arrogant and thinking she abandoned the UK for the USA because she thought she was too good for here.

She did what any person in her situation would do. Why remain doing something comfortable when you're offered something bigger and better? Obviously it didn't work out for her this time and I don't see why its a problem for to come back to the UK and return to what she was doing.

Everyone seems to jumped on the hate cheryl bandwagon recently but she has always been the same and never changed who she is. :shrug:

I think there's something a bit fishy about this. After all, Cheryl has done XF for a few years so the producers have surely watched how she is and how she speaks. I just don't believe theyve suddenly watched a couple of US auditions and suddenly decided she's not right....and then had the nerve to go against Simon who practically owns the show and is its main star. Especially so soon after announcing her inclusion on the show. As for Paula, she really doesnt carry that much weight right now; her last show flopped so this is a lifeline for her. She's gonna demand Cheryl goes after such a short period together? makes no sense to me. She didnt like Kara on AI but didnt get her fired at a time she had great influence.

I smell a publicity stunt.

[happybbfan]

C5 are still intersted in her fronting BB,please i beg of you Desmond NO dont do it,we want the show to do well not fail.Dont think its her bag tho,but atm she might take anything.

This is also what I am worried about but I was bulldozed at for even suggesting this.

Ok.. I suppose Cheryl Cole could pull in the viewers if she takes over Davina's role but she will be crap!

Please Emma Willis or someone decent!

I think it is a bit cruel for them just to sack Cheryl off like that but meh these things happen.

Paula is not special either. I much preferred Kara! I also like the American Idol judges now. I am not bothered about Simon Cowell anymore. It's time for a change. And I hope it's a full fresh panel of new judges on the UK X Factor.

Mmm I would rather see Chezza come back to the UK X Factor. Just not on my precious baby that is Big Brother!

[Tom4784]

Cheryl Cole would never host BB, no big star will.

[cub]

Just not on my precious baby that is Big Brother!

What? Go from Fox TV to Channel 5?? She may have fallen from grace, but she will never fall that low.

Big Brother died in 2010. Richard Desmond is just picking at the carcas and hoping to breath new life into a corpse.

[Zippy]

Cheryl wouldnt touch BB in a million years

Take anything? If she was sacked she'll probably get millions. Then there's her very lucrative job as the face of L'oreal. Then there's XF UK if she wants it. Then there's a Girls aloud reunion if she wants it..

but yeah, apart from all that she's really desperate

[Jords]

Feel quite sorry for Chezza, apparently its because of her accent? :conf: Daft.

Although I think Nicole will do a better job! Im sure Simon will get Cole to do the UK show again..

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/matthew-norman/8542787/Whats-wrong-with-Cheryl-Cole-Its-impenetrable.html

Los Angeles has always been a tough town for those who get above themselves, as its favourite cop-philosopher once observed. “A man’s just gotta know his limitations,” growled “Dirty” Harry Callahan, wittily echoing the Delphic Oracle’s “Know thyself” before unleashing the contents of his Magnum .44 into the head of a chap who apparently did not.

The same, as seems only fair in a post-feminist age, goes for a woman. The Girls Aloud singer has tended to eschew engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan in favour of the safety of The X Factor studio. But there are other ways to serve the community. Cheryl put in 120 hours of community service, in 2003, for instigating unarmed combat above and beyond the call of duty – “actual bodily harm” as the killjoy court documents had it – with the toilet attendant of a Guildford nightclub.

The songstress has endeared herself to us, with her gift for synthesising sincere big-sisterly pride in her young X Factor charges.

In Hollywood, alas, four days into auditions for American X Factor, she was fired. The dust has yet to settle on this sensational development, but already leading historians are riven by such questions as who sacked her, and why.

The first step is to ask the obvious question. What was she thinking in trying to crack America? Of course, one understands the ambition. Any self-respecting British actor would rather be mentioned in passing as a suspected child molester by the host of the Oscars than win three dozen Baftas. No performer feels fulfilled without being recognised in the US.

Even talented British chart acts routinely fail to make it there – Oasis and Robbie Williams, who still lives in LA (bless him for holding on to the dream), barely sold a CD despite ferocious attempts – but the most useful precedent is one of Cheryl’s Saturday night telly rivals. After decades of trying to break the States, Bruce Forsyth could not sell out a telephone box. Being the self-styled “British Sammy Davis Jnr” was one thing. Being unable to sing, dance or time a joke proved another.

Finally, Brucie took the hint, settling stoically for life as a beloved institution in li’l ol’ here. Cheryl has no choice but to do the same. Having survived the conviction, malaria, and Ashley texting snaps of himself in his knickers to a lady friend while Cheryl was halfway up Kilimanjaro, an embarrassing return to our own X Factor will not break her.

For all that, the indignity will be hideous for one more accustomed to “nation’s sweetheart” than being nicknamed Chewbacca for her flirtation with big hair. Whether Magnum .44 bullets would have penetrated that much lacquer is one for a ballistics expert, but she must now suspect that there are more even painful routes to learning one’s limitations than being gunned down by a renegade LA cop.

It can work putting a total unknown on the panel in the USA if they are a kind of 'character' like Piers. Americans love that Piers is like a 'stereotype' they can love to hate.

But if you put a totally unknown person in the USA version and mainly her appeal is her fame and notoriety (in the UK and not USA) then you just have what amounts to some plain lady.
And that is not necessarily bad but then they could hire anyone or even hire a UK female presenter/celebrity actually known to US audiences. Posh Spice for example.

[cub]

She just needs a year off. She can afford it.

Concentrate on getting back with Girls Aloud for their 10th Anniversary next year is my advice.

[Ammi]

I agree with Zippy, this all smells like a publicity stunt. Big bad bitch Paula deprives poor Cheryl of her American Sweetheart dream, she is driven back to UK XF, sympathies all round from the British public and Nations sweetheart again. Tbh I was ok as Cheryl as a judge on XF in the beginning, it was only last year her and Simon annoyed me with their stupid decisions and their constant sticking together on these stupid decisions. But with Simon gone this year she might be ok again and it will be the first time she's had the chance to prove herself as an XF judge without him around, so I'll wait and see - thats assuming she does come back to the UK XF

[Mystic Mock]

I dont know if I should be happy or sad because she will be returning to X Factor UK and alot of the British simpletons will feel sorry for her.

But on the other hand she got humiliated at last.

[Mystic Mock]

Dont like her, but this is kinda cruel.

No it isnt,its great.:joker:

[Toxic]

All this Cheryl hate is baffeling to me, she hasn't done ANYTHING wrong or ANYTHING offensive for people to hate her so much, it is jealousy, it has to be. And people saying she was awful on X Factor last year? how was she? she was the same as she was on previous years, I read that she 'thought it was her own show' - in what way exactly?

This anti-cheryl rubbish is just the typical british thing of building someone up and then knocking them down, quite a sad thing really.

Oh and Cheryl hasn't been confirmed as fired yet, its all still rumours.

[Toxic]

And I am no Cheryl Cole fan by the way.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

No it isnt,its great.:joker:

Just saying no one deserves this treatment. Maybe she should sticlk to singing..... um i mean being a judge... i mean..... um... she should start a family.

I feel exactly as you do. Quite baffled by the hate.

[Vicky.]

The jealousy argument is old, tired, and done to death.

I could say the same thing about...for example Katie Price. I dont see what she has done to warrant so much hate, so therefore the only logical reason for people to dislike her is jealousy :rolleyes:

Personally, I far from hate Cheryl. I just think shes a terrible judge. And only got the job because a certain Mr Cowell fancied her :wink:

[cub]

I thought Cheryl was a better judge than Dannii. Dannii is more likable and supportive but asking a current street-wise artist who loved rap to sing a ballad was a crazy comment and made Dannii sound prehistoric.

Cheryl may not have won last year, but he selection of artists last year, I thought, was better than the other judges. And her comments were bob on.

[Jordan.]

The only thing Cheryl did wrong was be arse licked by Simon and thats hardly her fault? :laugh:

Oh and send Gambu home.....

[cub]

Gamu was a novelty act. I liked her, but I couldn't see her having a record career.

[Vicky.]

The only thing Cheryl did wrong was be arse licked by Simon and thats hardly her fault? :laugh:

Oh and send Gambu home.....

In your opinion. I think she also arselicked him. Yeah he had his tongue more firmly on her backside, but it wasnt all one sided. I just dont like her as a judge, and its a bit of a joke to judge people singing live... and then go on the same show and mime yourself.

Simon was by FAR the worst judge last year though. And thats something I usually reserve for Louis :D

[Ammi]

I agree that they were as bad as each other arselicking and that Simon was the worse judge and thats why I hope Cheryl will be better without him if she returns to the show this year. I found all that 'I agree with everything you say' crap from them both too distracting last year.

[cub]

I don't prescribe to the idea that you should be able to sing yourself in order to judge others. Dannii is considered to be a good judge but, as much as I like her, she ain't all that - talent wise.

Cheryl's value as a judge is that she's been through the process less than ten years ago and she is abreast with current trends in music.

[Omah]

Has she hit any toilet attendents recently?

Not since she shaved her chest ..... ;)

[Zippy]

Cheryl is probably the most qualified of all XF judges. She's most in touch with the core audience. She's a relevant artist currently having hits. She's been through this process herself and can relate from both sides. Simon and Louis are middle aged business men(with a middle aged womans taste in music) and thats exactly what they see it as...a business opportunity. Cheryl has no investment in them moneywise so for her it really is just about whether she likes them.

We can all give opinions about how good somebody is and nobody is more right than anybody else so really you don't need to be any kind of expert. The voters have the final say anyways. Its not like any judge on any talent show is always right and chooses the right songs always. They all make big mistakes because ultimately it comes down to one persons tastes against anothers.

Well said.

We will all have opinions on the new X Factor acts (Remember? They have contestants too - it's not all about judges!) and most of us can't hold a note. I want the right to say someone is good or crap without someone questioning my credentials. The judges are no different and why should they be.

Because they are paid to judge...and we are not?

Clearly each have the capability (in different ways) to have that type of professional opinion. I would question the credibility of Emma Bunton judging skating, but not Cheryl Cole critiqung singing even though her own voice is quite weak. She's been through the process so therefore she knows.

Daily mail update

ITV offer £2m to woo Cheryl Cole back to the X Factor UK

Last updated at 1:21 AM on 29th May 2011

Cheryl Cole has been told the door is still open for her to return to the British X Factor – but she must make her decision today. ITV is said to be willing to double the singer’s usual £1.2 million pay packet if she comes back for the next series, but she is said to be unsure of taking the offer given her humiliation on the American version.
Cheryl is understood to be begging Simon Cowell to issue a statement saying she wasn’t sacked from the Fox show – but left because she had a ‘bigger and better’ offer to return home. Fox has yet to make an official announcement about Cheryl, but one source said: ‘Simon is working on a statement which will essentially deny Cheryl was sacked, but instead say she was offered a better opportunity in the UK. It will hopefully save Cheryl’s reputation and pave the way for her to come back to the British X Factor.’ A source close to the singer added: ‘Cheryl is deeply humiliated and she wants Simon to make it clear that she wasn’t sacked, but was needed back in Britain. 'It’s a face-saving measure and it’s very important to Cheryl.’ The Girls Aloud singer, who has been holed up in her London flat with her mother Joan since she returned from Los Angeles, is said to be ‘close to breaking point’ over her treatment in the States. ‘She is feeling very fragile and very emotional about everything,’ said one friend. ‘Her confidence has been massively dented and her friends are genuinely worried for her. 'She is talking about taking some time out, but Simon is trying to convince her to sign up to prove she can do this job.
‘He’s told her she can come back to America and work on her image next year and that this is by no means the end of her in the States.’

Another source said: ‘They have offered to double Cheryl’s pay packet in the UK and Simon is trying to convince her to take this opportunity. ‘The truth is that Cheryl is in a major sulk and she may turn the offer down. ‘At the moment it’s a possibility, no one knows what she’s going to do, but the feeling is that if she turns down X Factor in the UK it really would be career suicide.’ ITV has put contracts with other potential panellists on ice while she makes her decision. But Cheryl – who will reportedly receive her full £1.2 million fee from the American show despite leaving after just four days – must make a decision on the UK version this weekend, as auditions start in Birmingham on Wednesday.

Currently Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos are reported to be on the judging panel. But last night a source close to Tulisa said she had yet to sign up, adding: ‘She’s not at all confirmed. It all depends on what Cheryl does.’

[joeysteele]

Why on earth should she get any increase in her salary to return to the UK X Factor, that's ridiculous and if it happens and she does return with a greatly increased salary it will show her up for the selfish spoiled madam she really is.

The UK X Factor line up was sorted, I am still not happy that Dannii is not there but one thing should be certain, there is no place for Ms Cole.

[cub]

I'd rather Cheryl cames back than the NDubs girl, but I can't see it at this point. I think Cheryl is history at this moment.

[happybbfan]

She is getting paid far too much anyway,no to an increase.Who is she? Who does she think she is? Go back to singing and stay well away from BB on C5.

Life Moves On.

A Fox TV executive has said Cheryl Cole's 'negative demeanour' while filming US X Factor, which included skipping the Grammy Awards to sit in her hotel room eating biscuits, was among the reasons behind her being sacked as a judge.

[Jordan.]

The Grammy awards were like 2 months ago. :S

[Matt]

Appears now that this has all been a massive publicity stunt as tomorrow's Sunday Mirror and News Of The World claim that Cheryl will 'return' to the X Factor USA judging panel.

EDIT: Thread for new developments here: http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176975

[cub]

I don't think it was a publicity stunt. It looks as though Cheryl was demanding her fee even if she was dropped. Therefore they've offered her job back in the hopes she will still be too upset to return. If she then chooses to leave they won't have to pay her, as this becomes her choice. Clever.

So, unless she's really hardfaced or needs the 1.5 million they're not obliged to pay it.

It's a mess.

[BBfanUSA]

that's why the voice rules it doesn't have these problems

[hotleggs]

Well The way I see it (IF) the story is a fake and simon made it up and then he has did the job because america did not know her before all this but they know her now , her face has been everywhere over there lately so well done simon ..

Ah, I was right.
