UPDATE (June 6, 1AM ET) -- THR is reporting this latest update to the ongoing Cheryl Cole/'X Factor' drama: "According to a high-level industry source, after engaging in some legal brinksmanship the powers behind the show have concluded that it's best to pay Cole the reported $1.5 million she was owed under her contract and say goodbye."_________
Is Cheryl Cole back in as 'X Factor' U.S. judge? News of the World says so.
According to their report, Cole is expected to return to the judges' panel this Wednesday as auditions continue in New Jersey.
As we reported earlier, Cole is rumored to be working out her visa issues, and bossman Simon Cowell made a case to network Fox to keep her on, which means co-host-turned-judge Nicole Scherzinger will go back to co-hosting again.
Without comment from Fox or Cowell since news of Cole's dismissal broke over a week ago, speculation about why she was let go has ranged from fights, lack of chemistry with fellow judge Paula Abdul and a too-heavy accent for American audiences to understand.
But having already taped four audition shows with Cole, it was a production concern to have such a big switch-up so late in the game.
