| Cheryl's US dreams have been crushed |
Has her American dream already come to a tragic end?
I reprted last night that Cheryl Cole had been dropped but the US X Factor in favour of co-host Nicole Sherzinger, as audiences struggled to understand her thick Geordie accent.
Now a source tells The Sun newspaper that the 27-year-old star had no idea she was getting dumped by Fox producers: "She never saw it coming" an insider has claimed.
But sources close to Simon Cowell have suggested that Cheryl was fully aware her performance wasn't up to scratch on the show. Saying that TV executives were "concerned about her performance".
"Cheryl can hardly say this was a total shock. She actually knew about it three days ago. Simon told her in person at his house that it wasn't working and that he was under so much pressure to release her. She knows she has been nervous in her performances and TV execs were privately concerned."Now it looks like the 'Promise This' singer is leaving L.A completely to return embarrassingly to the UK. Although Cheryl had begun to launch a music career in the states, with Will.I.Am as her manager, sources say she is moving straight back to London.

| Cheryl looked happy in front of US press |
Why would she do that you ask? Well apparently the former Girls Aloud star has been offered double to take back her position on the UK version of the X Factor, meaning N Dubz star Tulisa is out, and Cheryl and Kelly Rowland are in.
And she won't just be a simple judge, no, according to her mother, she will be Simon's replacement, making her the head judge. Apparently her mother told friends:
"Cheryl has been paid off to come back to the UK to sort out the show. Simon told her Tulisa just wasn't strong enough. The deal is she will be seen as the head judge, even above Gary Barlow."
People are already starting to spread rumours that Simon wanted Nicole Sherzinger as judge all along, and that bringing on Cheryl on board only to drop her was a big publicity stunt for the show. If that is true at least it still got the Geordie singer in the headlines!
Meanwhile, Will.I.Am, has already organized Cheryl to duet with the likes of Rihanna and Usher, but who knows if any of that will go ahead now...
