Iako je juče udarna vest bila da se Cheryl Cole vraća u američki X Factor kao članica žirija, FOX mreža je to danas demantovala kratkim saopštenjem u kome se, između ostalog, kaže:

"Nicole Scherzinger će zameniti Cheryl Cole kao članicu žirija u X Factoru". 

Nicole je slavu stekla kao članica benda Pussycat Dolls, a nedavno je započela i uspešnu solo karijeru. Ona će se pridružiti Simonu Cowellu, L.A. Reidu i Pauli Abdul u potrazi za novom globalnom superzvezdom. Ipak, potvrđeno je da scene sa Cheryl sa audicija kojima je prisustvovala neće biti "isečene".

Although the breaking news yesterday was that Cheryl Cole would return to the judging panel of the X Factor USA, FOX network denied this by sending a statement in which is, among other things, said:

"Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of 'The X Factor".

Nicole rose to fame as the Pusycat Dolls member and she has recently started a successful solo career. She'll join  Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search to find the next global superstar. Still, it was confirmed that scenes with Cheryl from previous auditions won't be cut.
