"It's official. The powers that be from FOX and Fremantlemedia have spoken:
Chezza is out, Nicole IN!
The network released an official statement this morning confirming that Cheryl Cole will NOT be on the judging panel for the American version of The X Factor. Their statement reads:

"Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of THE X FACTOR. Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5 million dollar recording deal. Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of THE X FACTOR."
