Kelly Rowland will not appear on The X Factor this weekend, it has been announced.
The Destiny Child singer is currently in Los Angeles and will not be able to fly back to London because of a "throat infection".
"She is extremely ill with a viral throat infection and her doctors aren't permitting her to fly," her spokesperson told The Mirror. "Kelly is devastated she won't be here for this weekend's show."
Nicole Scherzinger has since been rumoured to step in as cover for the ill judge.
Last week, Rowland left for a trip to Los Angeles, sparking rumours that she had fallen out with fellow judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh.
Contostavlos and Walsh accused Rowland's act Misha B of bullying fellow contestants on last week's show. Rowland told Contostavlos to "leave things backstage".
The Destiny's Child star later denied reports that she left her X Factor acts because of a fall-out with her fellow judges.

Update: "Kelly has apparently "walked out" of X Factor. Some saying she's ill but it's no coicidence this happens after last weekend's bust-up.."
Everything is still a rumour and hasn't been confirmed, probably all blown way out of proportion...

Apparently she's been kept in LA on doctor's orders as she's ill...
She shouldn't have went over there in the first place.
Nicole Scherzinger is here this weekend... wonder if she'll fill in?

and then because Nicole is in the UK, theres an empty seat in the US, cue Kelly on American X Factor. I can picture it already
America likes Kelly but they hate Nicole. We like Kelly but people seem to be getting sick of her, whilst Nicole is popular over here and got the best reviews from last year. Seems logical to me
Some sources saying shes ill and can't come back from America, others saying shes pulled out completely. I guess time will tell. I would like Cheryl to come back but not whilst Tulisa is there

The USA show isn't until Wednesday night though, so I'm sure she'd fly back in time. But I would LOVE for Cheryl to return.

I know, but they'd find a way round it. Simon is brilliant at scripting stuff like this and whether this is genuine or not its a PR masterstroke. I predicted last week that this story would run and run until Saturday and it turned out to be true, and now its taken another twist to prolong it for another week.

"Nicole Scherzinger's relationship troubles keep her in the UK"
I think it's funny that she and Lewis broke up this week too...
Kelly is not ghetto fabulous, shes ghetto trash. I like Louis and Tulisa's little friendship, its cute ;D not like Simon and Cheryls which was just odd :bored:
Nicole is on This Morning at some point this week as well. Not sure which day, but she'll be doing lots of UK promo this week.

I understand what you mean, Simon and Cheryl's was flirtatious... I think Tulisa and Louis just have respect for each other and take each others' sides.

If Cheryl is back on the X Factor USA this week, I will feel really bad (as she's being tossed about when she's not wanted), but I will like it because I like her.

The only thing that will save the show now is Chers performance on sunday.

More X Factor drama ahead. Ashley is QUITTING The Risk. Replaced by Nu Vibe member. MADNESS! #xfactor
Ashley is the one that was sick last weekend, so it could be medical related. Hopefully the new member is:

The Risk having a Nu Vibe member, they've lost any support i had.

In all honesty, an original member should re-join.
and so musical bands continues :sleep:
The whole show is a mess and is falling apart. And this is what they get for effectively ditching all the groups that audition and trying to manufacture one. They struck gold with One Direction last year and they did with The Risk too, but The Risk might not be able to survive this because one weak link can bring the whole band down and the four of them worked really well together

Yeah, I agree! One Direction did fantastic as a manufactured group, and manufactured groups usually are very successful (Girls Aloud, Spice Girls). Although, I think Rhythmix have worked well together as a manufactured group too.

Oh god, if there is anybody duller than Nicole, it's her...
Rather they just had three judges, they did when Louis had to go away, can they not just Skype Kelly for her decision with the B2?

If he pulls this off tonight, he'll solidify himself as a potential contender when the numbers dwell down.

Out of order on her girls if she has.
The judges don't work with the acts anyway. They meet with them on a Sunday briefly, turn up for a sound check or dress rehearsal on the Friday and then come in to judge on Saturday and Sunday nights.
All the actual work is done by the crew, vocal coach and stylists etc.
I think I'll give it a miss this week though, I can't stomach Alexandra's ego.

I'm gutted it isn't Nicole but it makes sense to use Alexandra, she'll do a good job and she won't outshine Kelly like Nicole would. But I still think Nicole will be replacing Kelly next year

Judging by what I've seen of X Factor USA so far, her spot on that panel will be up for grabs next year so it's possible. lol
