It has been reported in the papers today that Cheryl Tweedy/Cole has turned down an offer to replace Louis Walsh as an X Factor judge.

An ITV source tells the News Of The World, “Cheryl is totally bonkers. We don’t know what planet she’s on. Being the sexy female judge would have opened so many doors for her because Simon is the man with the Midas touch.

“There was even the possibility that she could do shows in the States using Simon’s contacts.”

I find this story less than plausible. Cheryl only dropped out of Britain’s Got talent a few weeks ago because she didn’t believe she was qualified to judge it, why would she be any better in the X Factor. Also I think Simon will choose someone better than Cheryl. She strikes me as a bit cold, boring and not the cleverest WAG around.
