The lady who has two season's worth of X Factor experience under her teeny designer belt is definitely way more qualified than most to give her opinion on the hit show and what it's like to be seated behind that sparkly judge's desk.
In an exclusive interview with Attitude magazine Cheryl Cole finally discusses that sudden exit from X Factor USA...well sort of.
When asked whether it was frustrating keeping schtum when she was taken off the show Cheryl told Attitude,
"I haven't said anything about it from that day to this. They have, they've said plenty. The crap I've heard out there's been interesting...Boring. It's year-old news"
(BTW, when you read anything Cheryl says you must put on a Geordie accent, okay?)
So you see, she kind of talks about it. Chezza also sticks up for her old X Factor USA pal Paula Abdul saying "she's lovely", not mental at all it's just that "that show can drive anybody mental." Oooh! When we hear things like this we worry for Britney Spears and her poor bitten-down nails.

It's very sweet when Cheryl is asked about her little Geordie winner, Joe McElderry. She comes over all big sister like!
"I think I knew [he was gay] before he did. He didn't tell me. I really don't know if Joe knew. I had deep conversations with Joe and he never, ever suggested it, and he never said that guy's fit. I think he actually said a girl was one time. But I kinda knew."
The interview also reveals Cheryl's food-shopping habits ("I shop online") and that if she could go to a shop she'd hit the "pampering" aisle first because she really likes "smellies". Aw!
It's not all smellies and cuteness in Chezza's world though. When talk turns to her very good mate Nicola Roberts' album, the gloves are off.
"Her album didn't get enough recognition for my liking. I was trying to get her to write one for my record, actually, but she didn't have time for us!"
Come on Nic, give our lass a bit o' time, eh? We would LOVE to see a collaboration between Cheryl and Nicola. One where we wouldn't have to block Sarah, Kimberley and Nadine out with our hands when the video came on.
