Nicole Scherzinger performed her new single ‘Right There’ on Thursday night’s ‘Lopez Tonight’ on TBS. Before she rocked the stage, the ‘X Factor’ judge shared details about working with Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, a bizarre bikini wax, and the inspiration behind her single.

“We’re one big happy dysfunctional family,” Nicole said of the ‘X Factor’ crew. “Simon knows how to get under [Paula’s] skin like nobody else. It’s crazy. She starts throwing stuff at him and everything.”

‘Right There’ is featured on Nicole’s solo debut ‘Killer Love’, which is set for release later this year on A&M/Interscope Records.

The interview and performance at LopezTonight.com has since been removed.

Nicole Scherzinger has signed on to be a television host of FOX’s new singing competition ‘The X Factor’, based off the British show of the same name. The former Pussycat Dolls member will join Welsh TV personality Steve Jones and judges Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Antonio “L.A.” Reid on the search for America’s next great music act.

“I am thrilled to be asked by Simon Cowell to host ‘The X Factor’,” said Nicole, who recently served as a guest judge on the UK version. “I loved working alongside Simon on the U.K. show, and cannot wait to see what he has in store for the U.S. I’m so excited to work with Steve Jones and help discover astounding talent from across the country!”
