Why?

Guardian: ITV has confirmed today that Cheryl Cole is to replace Sharon Osbourne as one of the four judges on The X Factor. The Girls Aloud star will join Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on filming of the fifth series of the hit ITV1 reality show this week. Today's appointment comes just four days after Osbourne announced she would be leaving amid reports of rows between her and Minogue and demands for more money. However, a source close to Osbourne denied money or her relationship with the other judges were to blame, saying she had decided to leave because of the workload and wanted to focus on her American TV work. Cole and Spice Girl Mel B had been seen as the two frontrunners for the job. Osbourne told Chris Moyles on Radio 1 yesterday that she wanted to see Cole get the role, while it was also rumoured the singer was considered for the judge's position that eventually went to Minogue in the last series. There had been fears that Cole's commitments with Girls Aloud, who are currently on tour, would rule her out, although it seems producers have now been able to accommodate this. Production on the new series is due to begin on Thursday with the London auditions at the Emirates stadium and goes on until the end of the year. The show begins broadcasting in September. Cole said: "I'm so excited to be part of such a great show and although it's scary joining a huge programme like The X Factor, it's a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne. "The rest of the girls have said they're right behind me, which is really important for me as it will be weird to be on the other side of the fence this time. So whilst we get started on the next album, it will be brilliant to be a judge on The X Factor." John Kaye Cooper, the ITV controller of entertainment, added: "Cheryl is not only an amazingly successful, sassy and talented woman but through her winning Popstars: The Rivals has been through similar experiences to those hopefuls who want to take The X Factor crown."

I love(d) Busted! :heart: Both their albums were great. I went to see them on tour several times too.

I've heard Radio 2 play Lay Your Love On Me this week too, if that helps

In that case, it's a good job Coldplay are ineligible... well it's not showing in the midweeks anyway

Oooh, where did you hear this? It sounds brilliant

Nah, I still reckon it's an error. Is it possible that Harpy that was supposedly on last weeks mids was also an error?

It was only available for one week only.

BWO will release Lay Your Love On Me physically on July 28th, according to a reliable source at the Popjustice boards. I'd say it was likely for the album to be pushed back until around that time too. They are in the UK for some promotion in July

If you actually read the story though, it says the doctors told him months ago not to dance again but he is determined to continue.

It may be re-added to the music channels or something like that though

What year are you living in?

I REALLY hope it's number 1 but I went for top 3

Being a fan of Busted and McFly, it's natural for me to like Jonas Brothers too. However, bands like Busted and McFly usually get a tough time here on Buzzjack so don't be suprised at any negative comments

Wow at Mint Royale. I'd love for it to go to #1 next week :lol:

Apparently George was meant to use a different song but the production team didn't get it ready in time.

It's on the radio 1 A List now

It's pretty dire but maybe it'll grow on me. Maybe the Westlife fans will get it to number 1!

He was marvellous!

Probably due to Britain's Got Talent
