"The X Factor": Simon Names Another Judge

I’ve seen the press release, so you can consider this official…

Cheryl Cole will be a judge on “The X Factor.”

So who is she? From the press release: “Cole, who has sat alongside [Simon] Cowell as a judge on the U.K. version of 'The X Factor' for three years, is a multi-platinum-selling solo artist and a member of Girls Aloud, one of the U.K.’s most successful female vocal groups of all time.”

Simon Cowell said in the release: “I’m thrilled for Cheryl. She is massively excited about this show, and has been fantastic to work with,” said Cowell. “She is also a complete brat! Most importantly, this girl can spot talent.”

That leaves one judges’ spot open. I say, bring on Paula Abdul…
