“Nicole Scherzinger Engaged To Race Car Champ Lewis Hamilton,” reads a headline from RadarOnline.

According to the blog, “The former Pussycat Doll, who will be starring on The X Factor this fall, is engaged to British Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.”

Working off a report from the Daily Mail, RadarOnline quotes the singer’s dad Alfonso Valiente as saying, “Yes, they are engaged.”

But she is NOT engaged.

A rep for Scherzinger tells Gossip Cop that reports of an engagement are “not true.”

Last month, Scherzinger replaced Cheryl Cole and joined Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and L.A. Reid on the judges’ panel of “The X Factor,” which airs this September on Fox.
