Cheryl Cole wants $2.3M from 'X Factor,' a show she was never on

Remember how great Cheryl Cole was on "The X Factor?" Yeah, neither do we, because the British pop diva was fired from her judge's job before the U.S. show made it on the air. The rumored reasons range from her impossible-to-decipher Geordie accent to creator Simon Cowell wanting a headline to steal some thunder from "American Idol." But now Cole is suing the producers for the rest of what she claims is owed her on a 2-year contract: $2.3 million, including $100,000 for clothes we never saw her wear. Turn the lawsuit into a TV show and they can call it "The Ex Factor." [Source]
