Nicole Scherzinger is doing well in her new job as the fourth judge on The X-Factor.� During auditions in Newark, New Jersey yesterday, Simon Cowell introduced the former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman as the panel?s ?answer to Cruella de Vil,? the skunk-haired villain from Disney?s 101 Dalmations.� It seems Scherzinger is being billed as the mean judge, according to AOL TV.� Moving on from the controversy surrounding former judge Cheryl Cole?s departure,� Cowell said that Scherzinger ?was terrific? during the auditions.
Scherzinger recently told the UK?s Daily Mirror, ?I haven?t spoken to Cheryl but she is a lovely, talented, sweet girl. ? I don?t know how it went down.
?I found out at the same time as everyone else. I just turned up for work and I?m happy to be here. I just hope she has made the right decisions for her.?
