Nicole Scherzinger to Join Britian’s The X Factor

Singer and actress Nicole Scherzinger will join Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos as judges on the British version of the reality singing competition The X Factor. She will replace Kelly Rowland on the show.

Scherzinger was a judge last season on the American version of The X Factor, but will not return to the series.

She co-starred in the Hollywood Bowl production of Rent, and may be best known as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls. She is also a former winner of the ABC-TV series Dancing with the Stars.
