X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger admits to once being obsessed with co-judge Paula Abdul. Many have forgotten Paula was once a superstar, a place we’re sure Nicole would like to reach one day. Nicole stated recently about Paula,
“Growing up, I loved Paula, like I was kind of obsessed with Paula. I had like Paula Abdul wallpaper and Paula Abdul, like, gowns and everything. Yeah. I was kind of obsessed with her.”
Not only does Nicole have a chance to work with one of her idols she is on center stage with the stars; Simon, L.A Reid and Paula.
Speaking of Simon, he has quite the take (unsurprisingly) on Nicole calling her “fantastically self-centered” . He tells Jay Leno,
“She is… actually nuts. Every city she went to, she developed a different accent.”
Nicole responded in kind on Piers Morgan;
“I’m an artist, but I have actually finally met my match. I have actually found a bigger diva than myself.” Adding that she has “absolutely not” met anyone with a bigger ego than Simon and “It’s rubbing off on me, actually.”
X Factor with LA Reid, Paula Abdul, and the infamous Simon Cowell premieres tonight on Fox. Are you watching?
