Cowell hopes to remain friends with Cole after X Factor fall-out

Simon Cowell hopes to remain friends with Cheryl Cole, despite their fall-out after Cole was axed from the US version of 'X Factor'.

The music mogul has taken "responsibility" for her departure from the US 'X Factor' as he knows how much sway he holds, but hopes she will be able to get over her career low-point and make a comeback, even indicating the pair would work together again in the future.
