Have a Nice Day Cheryl

Cheryl Cole's new job as a judge on the new American X-Factor has come to a
screeching halt after a fortnight as she was sacked and replaced by Pussy Cat Doll Nicole Scherzinger because her Geordie accent was so think that the Americans couldn't understand her.
Hmm, now call me a cynic but i smell a big publicity stunt.
Now Cheryl is 'known' in the United States, albeit by virtue of being sacked for having a bad accent so when she releases her songs she won't be a complete unknown, she will be that woman who got sacked on X-Factor.
This, my inner cynic says, was just a way to bring her to the mind of the American record buying public and Nicole Scherzinger was always going to be the 'real' judge.
Now she is making all the right noises about being heartbroken and upset by it all but everyone wins.
American X-Factor gets publicity from it all and so does Cheryl in the country she is desperate to break.
They knew very well what her accent was like before they hired her so the reason that Americans can't understand her is a red herring.
Alternatively, they quickly realised she has little discernible talent outside of wearing skimpy costumes and parachuted in someone else.
