While the big news today was that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were officially announced as the new judges on the upcoming 10th season of American Idol, a report has surfaced on the site of Sacramento’s Fox affiliate station stating that Simon Cowell will be joined by fellow UK X Factor judge Cheryl Cole when the program launches in the U.S. next year.
Fox 40 Sacramento picked up on a Daily Mail story from last week that states 27-year-old Cole—who is currently on hiatus from pop group Girls Aloud—”will quit the British X Factor to be a judge on the new version of the television talent hit which will debut in the States next year.”
The Mail goes on to state the following:
“Cowell has also lined up Pussycat doll singer Nicole Scherzinger to join him and Mrs Cole on the American X Factor after being left impressed by the brunette during her stint on the X Factor auditions.“
Dancing With The Stars champ Scherzinger filled in on The X Factor during the contestant auditions process when judge Dannii Minogue was out on pregnancy leave and Cheryl Cole had contracted malaria. (And let’s not forget the six-degress-of-separation situation where Cole is rumored to be romancing Nicole’s former DWTS dance partner Derek Hough.)
At any rate, none of these supposed American X Factor signings have been confirmed by Cowell himself, who is the show’s creator. But then, look how dead-on the speculation proved to be with the American Idol judges.
SIMON!! I need a confirmation ASAP.
