Simon Cowell fights for Cheryl Cole!

Simon Cowell is doing all he can to ensure Cheryl becomes a judge on the new American version of the 'X Factor' but if all else fails he is dead set on having her as a  mentor to sit along side him when contestants go to judges homes. Simon would love for Cheryl to be a judge but TV bosses are still unsure if the American market will warm to her or understand her Geordie accent. At the moment it seems they are more for Rihanna or even Katie Perry to have the role but whatever happens Simon will at least get her into the show as a test to see how she is perceived.
