Cheryl Cole To Replace Sharon Osbourne On X Factor
Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud fame has been announced as the Sharon Osbourne’s replacement of The X Factor.
The troubled wife of footballer Ashley Cole will join the judging panel of the programme when it airs on Britain's ITV1 channel later in the year.
She will join music mogul Simon Cowell, pop manager Louis Walsh and singer Dannii Minogue on the hit show.
Rock matriarch Osbourne quit earlier last week amid speculation of a longterm rift with Minogue, sister of pop superstar Kylie Minogue, and reports TV bosses had refused her demands for a pay rise.
Osbourne went on to admit she had indeed asked for a "ridiculous" amount of money before resigning from the show after four years as a judge.
And the 55-year-old has given her blessing to her replacement, telling Radio One: "I've heard they're asking Cheryl from Girls Aloud, who I love. I'd like to see Cheryl."
Cole is ecstatic about her new role: "It's a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne."
However, the pop star has denied the move will mean her days with Girls Aloud are numbered, adding: "The rest of the girls have said they're right behind me. So whilst we get started on the next album, it will be brilliant to be a judge on The X Factor."
Cole beat former Spice Girl Mel B and Welsh classical singer-turned-chatshow host Charlotte Church to land the job.

Usher - Usher Scores Chart Double While Lil Wayne Is Still Top Of The Pops
USHER has scored a TransAtlantic double after taking his new album HERE I STAND to the top of both U.S. and U.K. charts.
The release hit number one in Britain at the beginning of the week (02Jun08) and now it has debuted at the top in America too with impressive 433,000 first-week sales.
It's the second biggest debut of the year, 20,000 copies behind Mariah Carey's E=MC2.
The Sex and the City movie soundtrack debuts at two on the new chart, while last week's number one, 3 Doors Down's eponymous new album, slips to three.
On the singles chart, rapper Lil Wayne's Lollipop begins a fourth week at number one, while Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love remains unmoved at two and Coldplay's Viva La Vida jumps up seven places from 10 to three to round out the new top three.
Lil Wayne also scores the highest debut on the Hot 100 - his Got Money collaboration with T-Pain enters the chart at 13.

Motley Crue - Sixx Praises Ontario Official For Pornography Comments
LATEST: MOTLEY CRUE rocker NIKKI SIXX has publicly thanked the Canadian city official who slammed the group's off-stage antics as "pornographic", insisting his outburst has only served to heighten their popularity.
Earlier this month (May08), Sarnia councillor Dave Boushy attempted to have the rockers banned from performing at Ontario's Bayfest concert in July (08), after claiming their appearance could harm the city's image.
He failed in his bid when his fellow officials refused to support him in censoring the outdoor event - and now Sixx has spoken out to express his gratitude to Boushy for helping to boost the band's reputation, reports Blabbermouth.net.
Bassist Sixx says, "He's right. People like him are always out to attack rock and roll, you know. God bless them, man. They keep our name in the press and re-ignite our passion to hold up our middle finger to all those people who really don't understand.
"If that's how these people have to get a little press, then that's their problem."
