Nicole Scherzinger Shares Secrets Of New Gig, Talks X Factor Exit

Judging by the looks of things, former X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger is keeping busy despite her unceremonious ousting from the hit talent show’s judging panel (along with fellow pop starlet Paula Abdul). With rumors swirling that the Hawaiian hitmaker has rekindled romance with racer Lewis Hamilton, this ‘Poison’ performer’s pink slip was quickly succeeded with more good news – a new gig!

Set to make a splash as the new spokesperson for haircare line Herbal Essences, Scherzinger took to People magazine to share:

“It’s amazing,” she tells PEOPLE of the new gig. “I have a big grin on my face and I’m glowing. I’m really proud to be partnered with this brand.”

Also chatting it up with Access Hollywood, Scherzinger shared her thoughts on her recent, highly publicized removed from the X Factor USA. See what she had to say after the jump:

Simon Cowell Address ‘X Factor USA’ Drama

Season two of the X Factor USA may be nine months away, yet that hasn’t stopped the Fox hit from drumming up drama aplenty this week.

Changes to the show’s cast had long been expected, yet few anticipated the axe falling on so many, so fast.

Indeed, just like that host Steve Jones, and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul were handed their pink slips. And while all have since gone on record to address their respective departures, Simon Cowell has been notable by his silence.

That is until now.

The show’s producer and head judge has released a statement on the mass cull. Find out what he had to say after the jump…

Nicole Scherzinger Teases X Factor Exit; New Music

While 2011 brought success for many an act, Pop trier Nicole Scherzinger was gifted a lump of coal.

Failing to capitalise on the moderate success of her ‘Killer Love’ LP in Europe, the 32 year old has spent much of the year trying to jump-start the project in the US – to no avail.

Speaking in a recent interview, the singer lamented on the hardships of juggling her judging duties on the X Factor with her music career.

Peep her comments, which include her plans for 2012, after the jump…

Hot Shots: Nicole Scherzinger Sizzles At X Factor Press Call

Undeterred by her recent X Factor backlash, Nicole Scherzinger served up diva fierce at a press conference for the show’s upcoming finale.

The leggy stunner, who has struggled to leverage the show’s publicity against producing a hit, is pinning her hopes on new single ‘Pretty’ – which she performed on the FOX show last week. The song, as at writing, is still not on iTunes. Sigh.

In any case, peep more ‘pretty’ pictures below…

Hot Shots: Nicole Scherzinger Does Allure

Peep Nicole Scherzinger striking a pose in Allure magazine’s January issue. As ever, the 32 year old looks stunning.

However, while the former Pussycat Doll may be facing forward, we’re still nonethewiser as to whether that’s the direction her career’s heading in.

Having worked her ‘Killer Love’ LP to moderate success on this side of the pond, things remain uncertain Stateside. After a series of delays and failed singles, the US version of the album is supposedly set to hit stores next month. Yet without a hit single in sight and X Factor USA doing little to activate public interest, smart money would be on another delay. Something, if true, would see the retooled album arrive in stores (if it does at all) more or less a year after it initially dropped. A mucky mess.

Unfortunate, as she has the look, the voice, the moves, and the swagger. Yet, clearly late and lacking is her misguided material and any sort of connection with the record buying public. Will her new single ‘Pretty’ do the trick? Based on your comments, we would hold our breath…ay, ay.

Another pic awaits after the jump…
