Paula Abdul outshines Cheryl Cole while promoting US X Factor
PAULA Abdul showed Cheryl Cole exactly how it was done last night as they both attended a Fox event to promote the new series of the US X Factor.
Paula Abdul, 48 outshone 27-year-old Cheryl Cole, in a plunging and fitted red dress and tosseled hair and looked no where near her age as she posed for photographs to promote the US X Factor.
The Geordie star looked a little out of a depth at the Fox Upfront at Wollman Rink in New York City's Central Park as she stood near co-judge Simon Cowell in an orange dress, white platforms and Vivienne Westwood pearls.

The entire US X Factor team attended the event and marks the first time they have all been seen together.
The four judges - which also includes music producer LA Reid - joined co-hosts Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger at the Fox event, the channel which will air the show come September.
Fox said it was excited about Cowell’s return to the US, following his exit as an American Idol judge last year.
The X Factor has Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole as judges, and will have 90 minutes in prime time on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Peter Rice, Fox network chairman said: "There’s an excitement and a buzz around the show that we’ve never seen before," noting that The X Factor drew more people to its auditions than Idol ever has.

If the show is a success it could be a game-changer for Fox, which has suffered in the ratings during the autumn months for years as American Idol doesn’t begin until January.
