Pop goddess. X Factor judge. Body that won’t quit. The hottest thing on Saturday night TV with a healthy serving of kookiness. Nicole Scherzinger talks Simon, social media and being silly.
Nicole Scherzinger’s life is non-stop. If you want evidence of just how non-stop, consider that, for a large portion of our interview this late afternoon, she will also be getting her nails done and digging into a box of salad (also a large portion).
Later, as we are finishing up, she tells me she’s about to jump into a car from our current location in Forest Gate to The Ivy in the West End. I tell her that Friday night traffic into London is not to be trifled with, and that it may take her a while. This doesn’t matter, she says the time is going to be spent doing a Skype meeting with someone in the States, and also reading notes on another future project. Non-stop.
Not that the 38-year-old is unfocused or distracted; quite the opposite, in fact. Three of my questions are preceded with a polite ‘Whaddyou mean?’, while two of her answers to them conclude with a ‘Does that make sense?’ And it has to be said that she is extremely nice. Not just to me, but to everyone present with whom she will happily take and retake, and retake until they are right selfies, and make jokes and have fun. All day there’s loud music (‘I can’t take pictures without music’) of her choosing, from Banks to Grimes to Christine And The Queens (‘I’m in love with her’). Nicole doesn’t, she notes, always like shoots, but today’s is declared to be ‘cool, chill and a great vibe’.
