For those people who hoped we got rid of Paula Abdul when she demanded way too much money to renew her American Idol contract and then had her own dance show that failed miserably, you will not be getting your wish. Paula will be reuniting with her former co-judge Simon Cowell on his new show, The X Factor.
Simon and Paula will be joined by singer/songwriter/producer L.A. Reid and singer/X Factor UK judge Cheryl Cole.
Rounding out the show’s cast are hosts Steve Jones, a UK TV presenter, and Nicole Scherzinger, a solo singer who was previously a member of the short-lived girl group Eden’s Crush and more notably the Pussycat Dolls.
