@RyanJL tweeted 2 days ago: “I was chatting Nadine’s US team today. They say that she’s with key NYC DJ’s, got appearances at Fire Island, The Hamptons. They are also watching Nadine’s track Runnin’ “closely” because it has been “picked up by some key stations here in the states”

He also tweeted about the current situation over Cheryl Cole’s firing from The US X Factor not being in connection with Nadine’s single announcement:

“Nadine Coyle’s US team tell me that single announcement was “designed weeks ago”. Weren’t aware of Cheryl drama: they “play fair, not mean”.

It was just a big coincidence that the 2 announcements were made within days of each other. So don’t read any bad press articles as they only like to create non-existant rifts!

Good Luck Nadine!

Cheryl didn’t disappoint yesterday as she made her debut in America as a US X Factor judge.

She arrived at the LA auditions in a seventies-inspired outfit of purple Diane von Furstenberg flares, tangerine Oscar de la Renta blouse and bright turquoise belt. She teamed her look with a back-combed bouffant hairstyle.

Cheryl did a round of press interviews before posing for photos outside the Galen Center in Los Angeles.

Paula Abdul also joins the panel, and very excitedly tweeted a picture of her and Cheryl backstage:

@PaulaAbdul: Pic of me & Cheryl Cole http://ow.ly/i/bknr Gotta tell you about Cheryl- ‘The Fierce’ is STRONG w/ this one!

Its finally been confirmed after months and months of speculation and hype, Cheryl Cole has landed a top job as a judge on the US X Factor. She will join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on the judging panel of the show and she cannot wait to get started.

Cheryl says “I’m so excited to be taking part in the American version of The X Factor.
I absolutely love it here in the UK, and with the talent they have out in America, I’m sure we’re going to find someone very special. I can’t wait to get started.
I just can’t decide whether I am more excited to find and nurture the talent or for the unbelievable amount of amusement and entertainment I will have watching Simon doing everything and anything he can to beat me.
He’s tried to beat me for three years in the UK, and hasn’t even come close. His ego must be so bruised. America is gonna love this.”

Simon, who has worked alongside Cheryl for 3 years on the UK version of The X Factor said “I’m thrilled for Cheryl. She is massively excited about this show, and has been fantastic to work with. She is also a complete brat! Most importantly, this girl can spot talent.”

Auditions start this Sunday 8th May through till 26th May. The show will be shown on FOX channel in America AND also on ITV2 in the UK!

Are you happy that Cheryl has landed this exciting job, or more worried about the future of Girls Aloud? Tweet us on @GirlsAloudMedia and let us know!

In it, he says Paula Abdul, Antonio ‘LA’ Reid and Cheryl Cole will join him as judges on the talent show, which is set to begin later this year.

Defending his choice of the Girls Aloud singer, who is relatively unknown stateside and whose accent Deadline.com describes as “incomprehensible”, Cowell claims she is “special”.

“She’s a great judge. She’s smart. It’s just a hunch. If people take to her like the British public did, I think she’s going to do really well in America,” he adds.

BUT

Simon Cowell’s representative came out firing in response not long after the news broke, claiming nothing is set in stone and those two ladies were just a few possibilities among many.

Sources 1 & 2

The News of the World says Cowell and Cole, tipped to work together on his US version of the show, have told ITV bosses that they would not have the time to appear on both programmes.

Cowell is quoted by “a friend” as saying: “I’m committed to the American show and I’m not going to do both.”

A source told the paper: “Simon would have to produce two big shows at the same time and he and Cheryl would have to mentor and judge acts in both countries. It would just be too much for them.”

Cowell appeared to say last week in a US interview that he would still appear on both shows.

Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell will not take part in the next series of The X Factor, fellow judge Louis Walsh has revealed.

Simon is working on a new US version of the show and has long been rumoured to be worried about his workload, despite deciding to sit out the auditions stage of Britain’s Got Talent.

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl is set to join him on The X Factor across the Atlantic and Louis told the News of the World that would mean big changes for ITV1′s version.

‘It will be me and Dannii (Minogue) on the UK show with two more people,’ he explained.

A spokesman for Simon said his future involvement with The X Factor here is ‘still being discussed’.

Should Louis prove to be correct, it would be a major blow to ITV to lose the two biggest and most controversial stars from its most popular show.

Nicole Scherzinger is rumoured to have been lined up to replace Cheryl after impressing during a stint as a guest judge last year, but there is no clear frontrunner to step into Simon’s shoes.

The Girls Aloud star is said to be in the running for a prized place on the panel of the planned US franchise of The X Factor.

Peter Rice told Access Hollywood that he was pleased with Cole’s performance on the UK version of the show.

He is quoted as saying: “If Cheryl was to be on the show, I think she’s proved that she’s a terrific judge.

“She has wonderful chemistry with Simon.”

Meanwhile, Cowell recently hit the headlines when he spoke out to scotch rumours that Will Smith had been offered a role on the X Factor panel.

Simon told Extra: “I would love to work with Will.

“But I don’t know where this story has come from, because we have never even spoken.”

She is to sing on a track with NE-YO, who is a big deal over there. The rapper asked her to feature after they hit it off while recording a new show for ITV2.

Kimberley has been away from recording studios for a while as she has been concentrating on getting telly presenting jobs. But Ne-Yo has a song already teed up which he thinks she will be perfect for.

Kimberley’s bandmate CHERYL COLE might have been racking up No1 tunes here but she hasn’t seen success in the US yet.

SARAH HARDING has only recorded a dance tune with ROGER SACHEZ and NICOLA ROBERTS’ new stuff isn’t out until next year.

And, of course, Tesco-signed NADINE COYLE flopped everywhere.

Cheryl Cole is petrified her career could go up in flames if she were to join the US X Factor, it has been reported.

The 27-year-old allegedly signed a £3million deal with Simon Cowell’s new show to be a judge but now she is fearing the transition between the British show and American could be too much for audiences to handle and could see the downfall of her career.

In addition, Cowell recently expressed his concerns that Chezza’s Geordie accent will limit her abilities to be understood by an American audience.

And it seems she has the same fears as a source told Star magazine: ‘Cheryl was thrilled to accept the offer, but she is terrified it could all go horribly wrong, and has said: ‘what if nobody likes me?’

‘She thinks being hated in a country like the US could kill her career overnight.’

Cheryl will be joining her close friend Derek Hough, 25, in the States and is so eager to make it work she is reportedly having elocution lessons to tone down her Northern accent.

‘Having elocution lessons is a real prospect for Cheryl now. She’s proud of her roots and doesn’t want to change how she speaks, but she accepts that if the Americans don’t understand her, they will quickly turn on her,’ the source added.
