Paula seemed to have just heard the news when she took the stage earlier this week to face reporters. When asked about Cheryl leaving the show, Paula responded, “This apparently has captured the news while I was traveling so I’m just finding out things as you are … You probably know more than I do.”<\/p>\n

As TMZ first reported, Cole was replaced<\/strong><\/a> as a judge on the show by Nicole Scherzinger<\/strong><\/a> … because producers feared Cole’s British accent would be unintelligible<\/strong><\/a> to American viewers.<\/p>\n
