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."
