Monday was pink slip day at “The X Factor,” with Paula Abdul apparently the latest to get sent packing.
In a major housecleaning, creator and lead judge Simon Cowell decided to boot half the judging quartet from Fox’s singing show, which returns for Season 2 this fall. Nicole Scherzinger was likewise shown the door (Fox confirmed Scherzinger’s exit but not, for some reason, Abdul’s, even after it was reported by multiple media outlets; neither Cowell nor a rep replied to messages Monday night).
Host Steve Jones was also told his services would no longer be needed. Presumably the only two on-camera personalities returning will be Cowell and fellow judge and music mogul L.A. Reid.
