No one in US knows about Cheryl Cole: Perez Hilton

London, Mar 2 (ANI): Sharp-tongued Hollywood gossip king Perez Hilton is reportedly against the idea of Simon Cowell hiring Cheryl Cole for the US 'X Factor'.

Perez has claimed that this would be "disastrous" for the series, reports the Daily Star.

Hilton, 32, said: "I think it would be disastrous if Simon Cowell gave Cheryl Cole a place on the US judging panel.

"No-one over here knows who Cheryl is and I doubt anyone would understand her accent."

His blast came amid reports that Cole, 27, was to miss out on the top job and would be offered a role as Simon's helper, like singer Sinitta, 42, on the UK version. (ANI)
