This show would never have been the same without Paula and I can t believe I am saying this -- I have missed her a lot, and I am thrilled she s on the show, said Cowell.Abdul, whose playful bickering with Cowell became a signature of "American Idol," joins Steve Jones (um, who?) and Nicole Scherzinger, who Fox also announced will co-host the U.S. version of the British show.
Jones is a British TV personality little known in the U.S., and Scherzinger is a former Pussycat Dolls lead singer and solo artist."These two are going to be great together," Cowell said. "I have always wanted Steve to work with us; I think he is a real star. Nicole is fantastic. I loved working with her on the U.K. X Factor last year. She is gorgeous and super-talented."
Jones and Scherzinger join previously announced judges Cowell, Cheryl Cole, and Antonio "L.A." Reid. The show debuts in September.
Auditions are ongoing in Dallas and will continue on Thursday.http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=645852>1=28103
