She's Baaaaaaack!



Reports are surfacing that Cheryl Cole will return to the US X Factor panel this week. It's important to note that only one audition city, Dallas, was filmed while she was reportedly 'fired'. The day that she was announced as fired was the day that Paula left for Singapore and Simon went back to the UK. I think it's very likely that she was never fired. It was probably just to drum up publicity and to take attention away from AMERICAN IDOL.

Cheryl is expected to join the panel on Wednesday to film New Jersey auditions. On the plus side, searches went berserk for her and she is now much more familiar to the US audience. So I would say the promo stunt worked!
