Just realised. If Kelly Rowland and Cheryl Cole sign up to X Factor USA, it means all the judges over the series are back. Except for Tulisa.

Simon in the US, Sharon and Louis back on the UK show, Dannii in Australia, Cheryl and Kelly in the US, and Gary and Nicole on the UK show.

Simon will find a way to screw it all up, as usual.

I thought the other person for X factor USA was Paulina Rubio?

i dont understand why simon wants to destroy the UK show so much, i do like sharon but in all seriousness no one is going to tune in for sharon osbourn, i wish they would get rid of all of the judges except nicole and have a near to fresh start!

No one has been confirmed yet, I don't think it'll be Paulina though.

Seems fitting, worst judge in talent show history the only UK XF judge in history not involved in XF in some way <3

Maybe Tulisa can judge X Factor as far as way as possible?

It does make me wonder. Simon Cowell and ITV were very supportive of Tulisa during the leak of her sex tape and now she is persona non grata. It's perhaps made her think she could get away with anything and she relaxed too much. I guess you are allowed to be controversial and notorious, but being boring is not allowed.

If it wasn't for the sex tape I don't think Tulisa would have been back last year and we probably would've got Rita Ora or Geri Halliwell in her place sat alongside Kelly or Nicole. I honestly think Simon just threw her a lifeline and didn't want to kick her whilst she was down, but she obviously blew her chance (so to speak).

It obviously backfired on both Tulisa and the programme because she became a bit of a national joke. X Factor hasn't been able to drop her quick enough.

I also think he saw that she was the 'talking point' of that moment. Bad press or good press, he doesn't care. She was still being talked about and that made him money. It's kinda sad but that's how the business works. One minute you can be everything and the next.. nobody cares.
