Justin Bieber has slammed Simon Cowell for sacking Cheryl Cole from the US 'x factor'.

The British beauty was dismissed from the judging panel of the show after just four auditions and the teenage singing sensation thinks the music mogul made the wrong decision but can now make it up to his former friend by helping her with her career Stateside.

Justin said: "Simon is 'the man' and all his shows are awesome, but America seems to think the show got it wrong sacking Cheryl.

"She went down very well, but anybody who knows Cheryl knew she would. She's made it up with Simon as he can still help her a lot over there."

Justin - who is dating Selena Gomez - also believes Cheryl will have no problems finding a new boyfriend in the US.

He added to closer magazine: "She has a long list of admirers in the US. If she's ready to date again, she can have the pick of the guys in Hollywood."

Cheryl was replaced on the US 'X Factor' panel by Nicole Scherzinger.
