Nicole finds Voice with Cowell rival

Teaming up ... Will.i.am and Nicole Scherzinger

THE Voice judge Will.i.am has got one over on telly rival Simon Cowell — by producing X Factor star Nicole Scherzinger’s album.

Simon, 52, has been quick to poke fun at Will’s BBC1 show since it lost out to Britain’s Got Talent in the ratings war.
But the Black Eyed Peas rapper, 37, started work in LA on 34-year-old Nicole’s second album shortly before she became a permanent judge on Simon’s show, the UK X Factor.
A source said: “She knows it might not go down well with her boss but she’s not bothered by all the politics. Will is a great producer and she’s dying to work with him again.”
- WILL.I.AM’s new song will become the first piece of music to be beamed back from Mars tomorrow when it is played by Nasa’s Curiosity rover.
