I don't understand why she would put herself up for embarrassment again.

I didn't think she was that bad, she can't be any worse than Britney!

Isn't this a bit at odds with what's about to happen ?

I would like the USA panel as Simon, Kelly Rowland/Beyoncé, Demi and Justin Bieber.

Cowell can't make the same tacky mistake twice. Fox won't spend one dollar on Tweedy....again.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...owed-1-4m.html Exactly. It's a non-story imo. |

To me that is an indirect denial from her team, someone suggested to me that perhaps she can't come out and deny it because of this court case going on, so I think maybe her team leaked that to get the lawsuit back into people's minds, to show where she really stands on the show.
It does seem odd. As you say, has this article deliberately surfaced again today for a reason because it's not actually saying anything new to what has already been printed. I wondered if these articles about her going back would make her court case less credible or would it make no difference at all? Or as some have already suggested, will her return be part of the agreement but perhaps the press have reported about her returning too soon and they're now trying to divert people's attention away from it? This 'explosive', 'gloves are off' battle seem at odds with the reports previously that she had a good chance of winning, or are the reports overexaggerating? ![]() I still think she'll be back on the US show though.

I don't understand how these things work, but wouldn't the court case and job offer be separate? She's suing the production company over a two year old contract, rather than suing Fox/Cowell, isn't she? Or have I got that wrong?

Though the fact that the production company acknowledge a 'mutual mistake' was made in the contract makes me think she must have quite a strong case. I doubt stories like this will affect anything, the judge will only look at the facts and if they get a jury then they aren't going to be aware of any of these stories seeing as no one in America cares or knows about Cheryl. |

At the time I argued the logic in employing her. It's far easier to sell a UK star to the US than it is to sell a US nonentity to the US audience. Americans knew Nicole, they see people like her all the time, they never cared for her on The Sing Off either. She won DWTS... but the fact she was on there said a lot about her solo career. None of that mattered in the UK, she looked and sounded like a star. We knew the Pussycat Dolls but Nicole herself was new and exciting. She got a great reaction in 2010 and was able to launch a UK solo career off the back of that. Same thing with Cheryl in the US. If you tell the US audience "she's great, she's the biggest star in the UK, she was the most successful mentor on the UK show ever"... they'd not argue it because they don't know better. She's very telegenic (I know people debate her "sexiness") and I think small things like nationality and accent can make a judge on these shows stand out a bit. One of the reasons I fancied Shakira for the US show, but now she's doing The Voice! |

I still feel that this is all part of her return..
This is how Cowell wants it to be. A big controversy / scandal that would make the show and Cheryl be talked about in the UK and in the US.... then boom she's back. I still find it odd how they can't directly say NO. You're suing the PRODUCTION COMPANY and not FOX or SIMON COWELL, so why not just deny it. She's not liable if she denies it because she was the one who was sacked. She didn't violate her contract or whatsoever, so that gives her the right to deny things. It would be a very different case if she was the one who violated the contract. She has to follow the rules of the PRODUCTION COMPANY because she owes them. But in this case, like I said, she doesn't owe them anything. So they don't get a hold on her and her team. She can do whatever she wants and say whatever she pleases. I just don't buy the "silence because of the ongoing lawsuit" excuses. I just feel like they're not denying it and would continue to leak inside info about the lawsuit so that the rumors would escalate even further.. giving her more promotion and relevance... then she comes back. Typical X FACTOR scandal ... and I still don't see the connection between the lawsuit and her coming back. Simon is not the Prod. Company |

Company I also find it telling that Nicole's position on the UK show still seems uncertain too. Gary & Louis are the only ones that seem to definitely be back, and whilst ITV do seem quite intent on keeping Nicole, if they had the choice for Cheryl to come back they would choose her every time. And there is no way Nicole & Cheryl would sit on the same panel. |

Wouldn't surprise me if she'd already agreed to settle ages ago, already agreed to go back to XF US but they want to wait till the last minute and as you say, BOOM shes back. Can you really see Simon Cowell letting the production company and lawyers drag XF through the courts, with him as a star witness, and just for a few million? Never gonna happen! |

Typical X FACTOR scandal Like the posters above, I think everything is already agreed to be honest It would be interesting to see what their chemistry on the show would be like now-a-days though. Cheryl will be a success -I don't really understand why people think she wouldn't be. The US audience won't care about her singing ability and she's more interesting than Britney. Unfortunately for Cowell though, I just can't see the US XF ever really taking off in a big way. He should have stayed here. |
