It looks like Simon Cowell and his American Idol best buddy Paula Abdul are coming back together again for the upcoming U.S. version of The X-Factor. In addition to Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul joins a cast of judges including Cheryl Cole and L.A. Reid. This announcement comes just days after the show's co-hosts were made public to be Nicole Scherzinger and Brit Steve Jones.
News of Paula Abdul's arrival on X-Factor should boost the shows profile and bring extra attention to the show. Paula Abdul does have a dovoted following and the mixture of her and Simon Cowell on the same judging panel were part of the golden years of American Idol.
