Simon Cowell 'admires Nicole Scherzinger for being 'selfish and ruthless'

London, Aug 8 : Simon Cowell has praised US 'X Factor' judge Nicole Scherzinger for being 'selfish and ruthless'.

When Scherzinger made a jibe at Cowell during the show's launch telling him that he can't get rid of her, obviously reminding him of the axing of Cheryl Cole, Cowell answered her back saying that there's nothing wrong with her being selfish.

"I think you've proven that there's nothing wrong with being selfish," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"You are somebody I've admired, who has ruthlessly succeeded in their career even when you left the Pussycat girls behind.

"And there's nothing wrong with that because it's about ambition," he added.

The hottest woman on the planet. Her name is Nicole...

Not only is she one of the Pussycat Dolls - the hottest girl band to ever walk the earth - but she is multi-talented and fucking hot! She is a great entertainer, an amazing singer, song writer, great dancer, a model, she has the most beautiful hair and olive skin, she can pull off skin-tight leather outfits and, uhm, where was I going with this? Right, she's the hottest woman on the planet. Ever. Full stop.

Because I'm all about small word and big, err, pictures, here she is. Nicole Scherzinger, who needs no introduction.

She's got the perfect balance between curves and muscles, innocence and sex-appeal. Gawd, I wanna look like her!
