Nicole Scherzinger: An "X Factor" Shoe-In?

Her looks and personality would make her perfect for the job and, rumor has it, Nicole Scherzinger has landed the hosting spot on the upcoming show “The X Factor.”

The former “Pussycat Dolls” singer was reportedly brought in to try out for a judge position, but once Simon Cowell witnessed her “natural ability” in front of the camera he offered her the hosting gig.

An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Never has there been so much behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing as with 'X Factor' USA. “Having lined up Nicole as a potential judge, Simon decided to try something different and unexpected, and have a non-mainstream presenter present.”

“Nicole's had screen tests and is a natural in front of the camera. Autocue does not faze her at all. As an established singer, both as a solo artist and in a group, Nicole will be great with the contestants and knows what she is talking about.”

“The approach was made a few weeks ago. And although she has still not formally signed, it's all looking very positive,” the source added.

Nicole Scherzinger Likes to Tease Cowell

NICOLE SCHERZINGER LIKES TO TEASE COWELL
Nicole Scherzinger likes to tease Simon Cowell about his ''powder face.''

The "Don't Hold Your Breath" singer - who worked with Simon on the UK version of "The X Factor" as a guest judge and is hotly tipped for a role on the US form of the show - enjoys a great relationship with the music mogul and particularly enjoys watching him have his make-up put on.

She said: "I have a great relationship with him, we have a blast. I have so much fun teasing Simon we hang out."

"He has what I call a 'powder face.' Whenever the make-up artist puts a light coat of powder over his face he leans back, closes his eyes and relaxes like he is meditating. He's very peaceful."

The 32-year-old beauty is currently dating British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, and when the pair enjoy some time together they love eating and "get crazy" having a games evening.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't have much down time but when I do I love to cook for him. I make this dish my family in Hawaii make, oyster chicken - it's been in the family for years."

"It's chicken, lots of vegetables and rice, so it's really healthy. If I wanna get crazy I'll have game night. We play 'Cranium,' 'Taboo' or cards. I can kick a*s but Lewis is pretty good at cards - although he's pretty good at everything."

Scherzinger Would Be Honored to Judge U.S. ''X Factor''

SCHERZINGER WOULD BE HONORED TO JUDGE U.S. ''X FACTOR''
Nicole Scherzinger says she would be ''honored'' to be a judge on the US version of 'The X Factor'

The former Pussycat Dolls singer is one of the favorites for a spot on the judging panel when the pop star search show launches Stateside and she admits she is desperate to get the call from Simon Cowell.

During an appearance on British breakfast TV show "Lorraine," she said: "I have no idea what is going on, but I think that if they did ask me to do it I would definitely be honored ? Simon's not a bad guy to be around."

Nicole is wanted by Simon for his new American TV project because of her impressive displays as a guest judge on the UK version of "The X Factor" when she filled in for Cheryl Cole when she had malaria.

And the 32-year-old pop beauty believes she makes a good judge because she went through the same audition process as the hopefuls do when she landed her place in the Pussycat Dolls.

Nicole - who is dating Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton - added: "That whole experience was so new to me, but it was fun and I guess if anyone can empathize with what they are going through - I've been through the exact same audition process, that's how I got my big break in the US."

"And it's what I love more than anything in the world, so why wouldn't I be excited? I was happy to be a part of the show."

Scherzinger Went From Toothbrush To Dolls

SCHERZINGER WENT FROM TOOTHBRUSH TO DOLLS
Nicole Scherzinger says being turned down for the role of a dancing toothbrush motivated her to become a Pussycat Doll.

The stunning singer-and-actress has revealed that after a string of rejections, being turned down after an audition for a dental care advert was "crushing" - but gave her the strength to prove that she could go on to be a successful performer.

She explained: "I missed out on a couple of big movies when I was on the audition trail early in my career. I got really close but didn't ever get the big job."

"For TV stuff I auditioned for this Colgate commercial once. I was really desperate for the job. They didn't cast me as the dancing toothbrush and I would have been spectacular."

The 32-year-old beauty added that missing out on that particular job hit her hard because she needed the money - but it turned out to be the final push she needed to achieve her dreams.

She said in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "I was struggling and I tried so hard for the job. They were teaching us this choreography for the dancing toothbrush and just turned to me and said, 'No.' It was crushing."

"But I just felt at that moment I was going to prove them wrong. One day they would see I was so that dancing toothbrush - and so much more. I could have been the best dancing toothbrush ever."
