On the heels of releasing her video this week. Nicole Scherzinger has just been announced as the host of the U.S. version of ” X Factor”. Im not too sure how she will juggle promoting an album and hosting a show like judge on American idol J.lo right now, but exposure is exposure right?
Though Cowell’s reality show is set to air in September on Fox, Scherzinger will be present for the auditions when they kick off Sunday in Los Angeles.

The multi-platinum artist recently released her solo debut Killer Love in the U.K. and is prepping the U.S. release for this summer, which will include the first single “Right There” featuring 50 Cent.

Joining Scherzinger as co-host is Steve Jones, a U.K. television personality who’s hosted British programs including the “T4 Music” series and BBC One’s quiz show “As Seen on TV.”

Former Island Def Jam CEO Antonio “L.A” Reid and British songstress Cheryl Cole will join Cowell on the judges’ panel, with a fourth to be announced soon.
