It’s official.

Nicole Scherzinger is replacing Cheryl Cole on “The X Factor,” producers announced today.

“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 recording deal.”

Steve Jones has been named the show’s sole host.

Cole’s ouster was originally reported last month, but stories in recent days suggested that she could still be involved in the talent competition show, which premieres in September.

Now the Scherzinger-for-Cole move is official.

    Pretty much guarantees I won’t be watching. Weird panel. Cole would have been the interesting one.

    Has anyone heard Nicole’s new single? IMO, it’s plain AWFUL! It sounds like Rihanna, except not good.

    Opinions?

    So much is being made about the judging panel and you know what? I bet most of America MIGHT know that Simon Cowell is involved with judging the show, but only if they were AI watchers or entertainment readers/watchers. Now, of those who know about Cowell, figure half know about Paula Abdul and maybe of that group, maybe half of them, ACTUALLY GAVE PAULA’S NAME A SECOND THOUGHT, like her, etc. The rest, said who? don’t care, couldn’t stand her on that other show, etc. NOW, as for the rest: Nicole Sche. oh, what ever, maybe a few people know her from that pussycat group. More will recall Josey and the Pussycat Cartoon and movie. which SHE WAS NOT IN. Or people will see her and say ‘Is her job to host bad reality shows?’ The rest will be the same as they were be for the other judges, or ex judges as it keeps changing, but the names are unfamiliar to most in the U.S. and I don’t think most care. The others in my family don’t give a sh*t. and DON’T CARE SIMON COWELL! Doesn’t Simon, and the rest of the producers and FOX REALIZE THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE TALENT?????? Yes, the judges need good interaction to keep it going, fresh, but again, aren’t they supposed to find people who can make it big? No? I forgot, it is all about the RATINGS AND THE $$$$$$$ the RATINGS BRING. My bad. The ‘contestants’ are just PROPS for the JUDGES to work off of to get better RATINGS , therefore, more $$$$$
