Dancing With The Stars‘ season 10 winner of the coveted disco ball trophy Nicole Scherzinger attended last night’s Audi cocktail party to kick off Emmy week. It was held at Cecconi’s in Los Angeles.

There are rumours that Nicole could become a permanent judge on X-Factor and that during her judging stint, she “didn’t take any sh*t” from the men.  I just love this girl more and more.  According to an insider to The Daily Star:

“I think she’d also disagree with Simon and Louis on purpose just to wind them up.

“She would be great for the show if she did land a permanent part in the future.”

This is the week where celebrities party and pick up lots of free swag. Summer may be ending but the silver lining in that is that new television programming is just around the corner.

Lots of celebrities were at this event:

• Jane Lynch
• Olivia Munn
• Matthew Morrison
• Sara Ramirez
• Jessica Lowndes
• Karina Smirnoff
• Chelsea Staub
• Kathy Griffin
• Andrea Bowen

and lots more…pictures after the break
