What’s this? Is Cheryl Cole actually returning to the US X Factor?! Turns out there is such thing as karma. HA!

The Girls Aloud singer has reportedly met with Simon Cowell on two occasions to talk over her potential judgeship on the singing competition show.

This is an innnnnneresting development considering Cheryl was fired from the show prior to its first season and replaced by Nicole Scherzinger!

A source revealed:

“Simon would love to have Cheryl back. They're chatting more and more at the moment and he's hopeful she might be up for coming back… She's still spending a lot of time in the States and wants to move out there so it's looking more likely to be on the cards."

Turns out Simon was wrong in his decision to axe the singer two seasons ago. And it seems all Cheryl needed was an apology!

Fingers crossed!!

The boobs will definitely bring a broader audience, that's for sure!

But is she qualified to replace someone like BRITNEY SPEARS??

Last we heard, Kelly Rowland was the sure-fire winner there! But of course, they need another since LA Reid left the table too.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is reportedly in the running to become an X Factor judge this season.

Sources report that show king Simon Cowell is "very interested!"

But somehow we have a REALLY hard time believing this!! We mean, we wouldn't doubt it if Simon was interested in her cleavage but one good single does not a musical judge make!!

Do you really think the Client List star could succeed here??

Take a walk down memory lane with us and watch her music video for BareNaked …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

First it was because Khloe Kardashian and Mario Lopez didn’t get along. Then it was because Kris Jenner tried too hard to get Mario replaced by one of her other daughters. Now it’s because Khloe is just too darn busy!

The reason for Khloe not returning to X Factor has sure been hard to pin down, and none of the "official" reasons seem to include her, um, shall we say, "different" interpretation of co-hosting. We can’t help but wonder what new reason will surface next!

However, momager Kris doesn’t seem to be upset or resentful about her daughter’s apparent snub, and encourages everyone to keep watching the show. We’re inclined to think that there are no hard feelings between the cast and the Kris-Khloe Kombo.

Kris opened up about Khloe’s departure, saying:

Can’t say we’re surprised!

Kris Jenner, known for being a bit aggressive when it comes to promoting her daughters, apparently took things one step too far–yet again.

This time, her judgment failed her when it came to her youngest daughter, the now ex-X Factor co-host: Khloe Kardashian.

The latest deets in Khloe’s non-invitation back to Season 3 of X Factor are basically that Khloe and co-host Mario Lopez got along just fine, and that Mario did his best to help Khloe fill the role!

The actual reason that Khloe will not be returning is because Mommy Kris not only insulted Mario, but also suggested that Mario be replaced

All you celebs out there that bum us out whenever we see you guys smoking: if Simon Cowell can quit, you can too!

Seriously, if there was one person we thought was too stubborn to quit smoking, we would have guessed Simon! On the flip side, he's so worried about his health and body that it'd be crazy for him to continue!

And guess what?

Ah well, it's for the best!

Khloe Kardashian's personality can't be tamed by a teleprompter!

She needs to be a regular round-table guest on a talk show or a regular on those social commentary count-down shows! That's where her true talent lies! In giving unrehearsed opinions!!

Producers from X Factor feel the same (or at least they kinda do) as they have officially announced her exit, saying:

Ask and you shall RECEIVE, Kelly Rowland!

The former Destiny's Child starlet was well-received by UK audiences during her stint on the X Factor judges panel in 2011, but while she only ended up staying for just one season, she expressed interest in bringing her talents back across the pond for the US version!

Fast-forward to NOW…and it appears that her wish might just come TRUE!

Producers of the reality competition's stateside version are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with the singer, and if all goes according to plan, she'll be the lucky lady taking over for Britney Spears in the third season!

And we think it's safe to say that head honcho Simon Cowell is pretty thrilled with the news, as her salary demand of $2.3 million is MUCH less than the $15 million Miz Spears took in for her one-year commitment!
