The X Factor UK & US News

The final line-up for this year's X Factor UK has been announced. Kelly Rowland replaces Dannii Minogue, Tulisa Contostavlos of N-Dubz replaces Cheryl Cole, Gary Barlow of Take That replaces Simon Cowell, and Louis Walsh is the only returning judge.


Meanwhile, support continues to form for Cheryl Cole stateside. While no official comment has been given by Fox, ITV, or Syco, everyone believes that Cole has been axed. 


Paula Abdul commented that she was getting along great with Cheryl and has not been told that Cheryl left the show. Paula says she loves Cheryl so much that she would continue to build their friendship regardless of whether or not Cole was still on the panel. 


Piers Morgan, who smashed ratings records with his interview of Cole last year, continues to tweet his support for the star saying "Got to say, feel very, very sorry for Cheryl Cole. This can be a brutal business sometimes. But she'll be back."


Dannii Minogue has also supported Cheryl sending the tweets: "Judging roles should come with a life jacket, drop down oxygen and a life raft! Sending #Channii love!"
