Paula Abdul says she knows nothing about Cheryl Cole being 'sacked'

Paula Abdul claims she knows nothing about Cheryl Cole's reported 'dumping' from US X Factor.

'This is all news to me,' Paula tells Singapore's Xin MSN.

'This apparently has captured the news while I was travelling so I'm just finding out things as you are.

'I don't know whether this is true. You probably know more than I do.'

And Paula reckons Cheryl's a great girl.

'All I can tell you is that she is lovely,' she says, 'I was really excited about the relationship and friendship we were forging.'

Mmmmm. The
48-year-old certainly didn't look too enamoured with Cheryl at the Fox Upfront Presentation last week - she and Simon, 51, flirted the whole time and Chezza, 27,looked well out of it.

?It's going to be fantastically bitchy, which is just what Simon wants on the show,' Now's insider predicted.

?Both women are used to being Simon's golden girl and Paula isn't going to take kindly to sharing the panel with another woman - especially one so much younger and prettier than she is.

'If she had her way, she'd be the only woman, just like it was on Idol. Paula will make sure she's not sitting next to Cheryl, simply for vanity reasons.

'Paula knows Hollywood and how the game is played.'

Official representatives have yet to make any comment on Cheryl's exit.
