     American Singer Nicole Scherzinger has been named a judge on the British version of  "The X Factor", less than six months after being fired from the U.S. edition of the TV show by simon cowell. 
       The pop singer is replacing singer Kelly Rowland, and joins Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos, all of whom appeared last season. 
   "I can't wait to see what talent the UK has to offer and to help inspire and bring out the best in these artists," the former Pussycat Dolls singer said on Friday on the official website of the hit show.
     "The X Factor" USA failed to meet Cowell's expectations, prompting the firing in January of Scherzinger, judge Paula Abdul and host Steve Jones.
