according to the Sun newspaper;

The Sun is reporting that Cheryl Cole has landed the much sought-after role as a judge on the US version of 'The X Factor'.

The paper claims that producers flew over to watch her at the weekend and have now agreed a massive £3 million deal to sign her up.

An insider said: "She has really charmed the American execs. They love her good looks and the way she wears her heart on her sleeve. And of course her chemistry with Simon played a huge part in it. They are great together."

she'd be crazy to turn that gig down IMO. If Cowell can do both then so can she. Would make her a huge name in America where she gets mentioned in many gossip mediums and hot women polls but is not really known generally.

Congrats Cheryl! If true, of course.
