The US version of The X Factor hasn't even aired yet, but one of the judges is already being switched out. Nicole Scherzinger will replace previously announced judge Cheryl Cole, who has dropped out for unknown reasons. Former Pussycat Doll Scherzinger was almost the show's cohost, but she will now judge the singing competition series alongside Paula Abdul, LA Reid, and the show's creator Simon Cowell.

The following post was written by the editor of OnSugar blog Stars of Reality.

It's official! Singer Cheryl Cole will join Simon Cowell as a judge on The X Factor, a singing competition that will premiere this fall on Fox. Cheryl is a chart-topping superstar in the UK, but she isn't a household name in the United States just yet. Here are a few things you should know about Chery Cole.

1) She rose to fame as part of the pop group Girls Aloud, which was formed on a UK reality show called Popstars.

2) Cheryl stepped out as a multi-platinum solo artist in 2009, with hit songs like "Fight For This Love."

3) She has been judging the UK version of The X Factor for three years. "[She] has been fantastic to work with," Simon Cowell said in a press release. "She is also a complete brat! Most importantly, this girl can spot talent."

4) She is rumored to be dating DWTS pro Derek Hough (yes, Derek Hough!) since last year. The two have never confirmed it — but they haven't denied the obvious relationship either.

5) Cheryl almost died last year when she became sick with malaria. Her illness made headlines across the world. Derek was by her side through the ordeal. "I'm so excited to be taking part in the American version of The X Factor," Cheryl said in a press release. I absolutely love it here in the U.K., and with the talent they have out in America, I'm sure we're going to find someone very special. I can't wait to get started."

Simon Cowell's forthcoming American version of The X Factor may be an American Idol reunion of sorts. Cowell has stated that Paula Abdul is likely to host The X Factor, along with himself and Island Def Jam Music chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid. Cowell also hinted that while nothing's official yet, British songstress Cheryl Cole is likely to join the panel as well.

Cowell did a fair amount of gushing about Abdul, saying that the duo had great chemistry on Idol and he's looking to re-create that. Though Abdul wasn't my favorite judge of all time, it's a smart promotional move for Cowell to get Idol viewers into The X Factor, especially in light of a recent backlash toward the Idol judges' panel. The X Factor doesn't launch until the Fall, but are you excited about the possibility of seeing Simon and Paula spar once again?
