Posting some cryptic messages on Twitter, fans are worried about Cheryl Fernandez-Versini

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has a lot on her mind at the moment. She’s got the X Factor coming up, and maintaining the volume and shine of that gorgeous hair must be a full-time job.

But it seems like there’s more than that to Cheryl’s mind, as the 32-year-old posted some tweets this week, that left us wondering if the popstar needs to getaway with a spa break. We’d happily keep her company…

In a now deleted tweet, the Fight for your Love singer wrote: ‘Is it just me or is there something really weird about this year?! It feels like a really strange year weird things keep happening?’

She then followed it with saying…

Ooh, we wonder who that could’ve been about?!

The tweets have left Cheryl’s soldiers – that’s fans to you and me – a bit worried about the star, as well as a wave of support from them.

From one outraged fan who couldn’t comprehend how anyone couldn’t like our Geordie lass: ‘I don’t know how people can be like that when you’re literally the best person ever.’

To another fan giving Cheryl words of wisdom and motivation: ‘don’t let a few silly people get you down the majority here appreciate what you do for everyone.’

But that’s not all of it. The plot thickens. These tweets come just days after she posted a quote on Instagram that was all a bit emosh.

‘I have fed mouths that have talked shit about me. I’ve wiped tears of the faces of the people that have caused mine. I have picked up people that have tried to knock me down.’

Aw Chezza!

The quote continues, asking is it’s crazy to stick through people who haven’t appreciated her, but nothing will knock our Cheryl down. She is a soldier after all remember!

‘I will NOT lose myself in the hatred of other; I continue to be me because , I am who I am and it is my nature. Life isn’t easy but even through all the bullshit…. I will still be here, being me.’

You. Go. Girl.

Maybe the quote could have been directed to ex-fellow X Factor judge, Louis Walsh, who called Cheryl ‘lazy and irrelevant’.

Don’t worry, our girl had it covered, and hit back to Louis and asked: ‘Dear Lou Lou. Try using your mouth to say something positive about something positive.’

Whatever the cause for these messages, it doesn’t seemed to have dampened Cheryl’s spirits too much, as she’s proper excited to start the new series of  the X Factor along with new judges Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora.

‘Excited to be back on The X Factor. Welcome to the show Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw.. and of course Cowell himself this year is going to be so much fun!!! We’re so excited to find the next star’

Ah we can’t wait! Saturday nights won’t know what’s hit it!

You won’t believe what new X Factor judge Rita Ora said about the show!

See how the gorgeous couple's relationship has progressed...

It’s been a year since Cheryl Cole married French businessman Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, and we’ve charted how the couple’s relationship developed.

Before meeting Jean-Bernard, Cheryl Cole is married to footballer Ashley Cole. She files for divorce in February 2010 and their relationship is officially put to an end that September.

In March 2010, she’s linked to dancer Derek Hough. With Ashley out of the picture, Cheryl grows closer to Derek.

In June 2010 the pair head off on holiday to Tanzania, where the singer unfortunately contracts malaria.

Fully recovered a couple of years later, Cheryl is snapped out with former X Factor backing dancer Tre Holloway in August 2012.

They confirm their relationship a month later but their romance comes to an end in 2013.

In May 2014, Cheryl sparks rumours that she’s dating businessman Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini after they get snapped at his Cosy Box restaurant in Cannes, France.

Cheryl surprises her fans in July 2013 when she reveals that she’s wed Jean-Bernard.

‘I usually do not discuss my personal life but to stop the speculation I want to share my happy news… Jean-Bernard and I married on 7/7/14,’ she captions an Instagram photo of her stunning ring.

‘We are very happy and excited to move forward with our lives together.’

Newly married, Cheryl Cole officially changes her name to Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and re-brands herself Cheryl on Twitter. She changes her account to CherylOfficial.

Speaking about the ceremony, Pastor Devon R Ollivierre reveals how the nuptials were ‘incredibly captivating’ and describes how there was ‘a lot of passion’.

And when it came to choosing the rings, it emerges that Jean-Bernard apparently gave the jewellers strict instructions.

‘The guideline from Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini was clear enough. Your work must epitomise my unfailing unconditional love,’ says Roman Garfunkel of Geraldo Jewellers.

Prince Harry and Robbie Williams like a smoke... See all the stars lighting up

There are a lot of celebrity smokers out there.

It’s shocking seeing celebrities smoking but we’ve found plenty of photo of stars lighting up for all our gallery.

The celebrity smokers in our snaps have been caught puffing away in various different places.

Suki Waterhouse, Liz Hurley, Nick Jonas, Robbie Williams, Natalie Cassidy, Russell Crowe, Geri Halliwell, Kerry Katona, Prince Harry and Pink are amongst the stars who get their nicotine fix during their time off.

A large number of celebs enjoy ciggies on nights out, including Brian McFadden, Mark Ronson, Matt De Angelo, Gail Porter, Noel Gallagher and Nicky Hilton.

When working, some celebrity smokers can’t help squeezing in a quick fag break.

Cat Deeley has a tobacco hit before a magazine photoshoot in LA (that was before she was pregnant FYI), Cheryl Cole nips out while filming The X Factor and singer Pete Doherty smokes on stage.

Adele inhales on a fag outside the GMTV studios while Calum Best, Stephen Dorff, The Ting Tings’ Katie White and Big Brother’s Charley Uchea light up outside the BBC Radio 1 studios.

Swanky showbiz events are popular places for celebrities smoking to get photographed.

Will Young indulges his habit, James Corden sucks on a ciggie at the BAFTA Awards and Jenny Frost relaxes at a launch party.

Most celebrity smokers choose to purchase cigarettes but others prefer cigars.

Kid Rock, Dita Von Teese, Andy Garcia and P Diddy all like getting their fixes in this way.

Surprisingly, it seems David Beckham also isn’t adverse to the odd cigar while letting his hair down.

After it’s reported that he smokes to relax, his spokesman says: ‘He may have had a puff on a cigar once or twice in the past to make a celebration but that is it.’

Check out the pictures above…

Kimberley Walsh spoke about everyone in Girls Aloud apart from Nadine Coyle

It looks like Nadine Coyle won’t be receiving any Christmas cards from former Girls Aloud members this year.

Since the public feud between Nadine and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, it seems like Kimberley Walsh, 33,is taking her favourite Geordie’s side.

Speaking in her OK! magazine column this week, she wrote about how much she loves her girls and the role they’ve had since she became a mother.

‘Obviously me, Nicola [Roberts] and Cheryl are very close regardless. Sarah [Harding] and I still keep in contact – she’s always texting to see how Bobby is and I often check in on her so it hasn’t made any difference. We speak regularly and she’s coming to see Bobby soon, which will be nice.’

No mention of fellow mum Nadine? Ouch!

It is clear that there has been tension for years between Nadine and the rest of the former Girls Aloud members.

The X Factor judge, Cheryl, lashed out at Nadine recently branding her ‘full of s**t’ for claims that she didn’t want the band to break up.

Cheryl said: ‘She wants to come out and say we broke the band up? No! She shouldn’t tell porkie pies. She should remember why we took the hiatus after seven years so she could go and…
‘Okay, so do you want us to tell the truth? She wasn’t going to make another Girls Aloud record until she got a solo deal. I feel she held us to ransom and then made her solo record deal. It’s the truth. She’s saying that we broke the band up. So there you go.’

Cheryl didn’t hold back!

Nadine previously admitted that she doesn’t miss her bandmates and she also confessed that she wouldn’t meet up with them during their UK reunion tour.

However, the Irish beauty doesn’t hold a grudge against her former bandmate, who has now unfollowed her on Twitter.

Despite not wanting to comment on Cheryl’s cutting remark, Nadine insists she has fond feelings about her days in the girl group.

Awkward.

The post OUCH! Now Kimberley Walsh snubs Girls Aloud bandmate Nadine Coyle after Cheryl’s cheeky dig appeared first on Now magazine.

We went down to The X Factor and we're slightly obsessed with these two now...

Last night we took a trip out to The X Factor studios and it was like a who’s who of famous folk. Oh everyone was there, from Queen‘s Brian May popping into the canteen, to Sinita floating about giving everyone air kisses and generally being fabulous.

However the person who sparked our interest the most was Jean-Bernard – AKA Mr. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

The man is just such a mystery to us, a total enigma and seeing him in the flesh was akin to spotting a unicorn in the wild – and we’re not prone to exaggeration.

So we sat and observed him.

We’ll be honest ol’ JB didn’t seem to be too thrilled to be at The X Factor initially and was just playing on his phone like a moody teenager. He was seated in the second row of the audience with Simon Cowell‘s partner, Lauren Silverman, in front of him.

As soon as Chezza came onstage though he perked up and his eyes stayed on her constantly throughout the show. We don’t blame him, she looked like a right hottie last night.

However it wasn’t until the end that Jean-Bernard showed real signs of life – when Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s girl, Lauren Platt, was in the bottom two.

Chezza‘s French beau cheered for Lauren all the way through her performance and looked completely tense while the judges revealed who they wanted to send home and Simon took the vote to deadlock.

When Lauren got through he looked visibly relieved and really enthusiastically clapped for her, it was obvious that he’s really bonded with Lauren and that he really cares for Cheryl‘s contestants.

Lauren spoke to us in the past about her friendship with JB, saying: ‘He’s just so cool and lovely, just like Cheryl. I’ll go into her dressing room panicking about something and he’s like: “Lauren, just chill.”‘

As soon as the show was over, Cheryl went straight to JB and he gave her a huge, reassuring hug, it was so sweet that it actually made us make ‘awww’ noises.

So if appearances are anything to go by Jean-Bernard and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini are extremely loved up and happy, and not even Mel B putting Chezza in a mood could disguise that.

Did Stereo Kicks’ nude photo leak and drug scandal end their chances of winning The X Factor

The post The way Cheryl’s husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini reacts when she walks on The X Factor stage is wonderful appeared first on Now magazine.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini may have re-married but The X Factor judge is still branded Mrs Cole

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini might have moved on from her football player ex-husband but it looks like she’s still ‘Mrs C’.

The former Girls Aloud singer – who changed her surname from Tweedy to Cole when she got hitched in 2006 – married her second spouse Jean-Bernard in July this year, reportedly just months after she started dating him.

Since returning to work on The X Factor, after a two-year hiatus, the star has insisted she be referred to by her new last name, but it seems she can’t get rid of her past that easily.

In a picture posted on her manager Lily England‘s Instagram page at an ICAP charity day yesterday, the etching she got on the back of her neck for Ashley Cole is clearly visible.

Does Cheryl plan on getting the artwork lasered off the back of her neck or is she standing by her inking?
She told The Guardian in 2010 that the tattoo was here to stay despite her marriage failing: ‘I’m not ashamed of anything. I’ve got nothing to rub away.’

Well ‘Mrs C’ could stand for Mrs Cheryl, right?
The TV talent show judge might have a bit of trouble converting a ‘C’ to an ‘FV’ so she could alternatively cover it up with something like the massive picture of a rosebush she has on her bottom and lower back.

She got the rose tatt on her lower back to conceal a small flower tattoo on her left bum cheek from 2007.
It also hides the tribal butterfly tattoo on her lower back, which she got circa 2002.

Cheryl wore a white collared shirt, with her hair up in a bun on top of her head, as she took part in ICAP Charity Day with the likes of Prince Harry, Helen Mirren and TOWIE‘s Lauren Pope.

Celebrities acted as stockbrokers with all money raised going to a selection of charities.

X Factor's Cheryl recently married, now is actress Kate Hudson dating her former flame dancer Derek Hough?

This is almost two much celebrity news for one story!

First up, the sad news. After a four-year engagement, and welcoming baby Bingham into the world in 2011, Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have finally confirmed that they have separated.

We say finally, not because anyone had an inkling that the pair were on the rocks, but because their official statement revealed ‘Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now’.

In fact, knowing what we do now, they seem to have gone all Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin on us, as they happily attended the LACMA Art + Film Gala in LA together in November and have been papped out and about, laughing and joking like any other couple.

Kate, 35, has a son Bingham with the Muse frontman as well as 10-year-old boy Ryder from her marriage to The black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson.

But what’s perhaps an even bigger deal is the claim that actress Kate – who is Goldie Hawn’s daughter – has moved on via a rebound relationship with star dancer, Derek Hough!

Kate and Dancing With the Stars professional Derek have been photographed together at events in the past, and sources have told American magazine US Weekly that the pair were spotted on a LA dinner date last weekend.

While the new coupling has come as a bit of surprise to the showbiz world, perhaps it shouldn’t do.

Back in 2013, Kate admitted that her fitness regime included intimate dance lessons with X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez Versini‘s reported ex-boyfriend.

‘My heart is really in contemporary jazz, but lately I’ve been ballroom dancing with Derek Hough. It’s been a real blast,’ she said at the time.

Maybe the two realised they shared a connection mid-samba? It would explain where Kate’s hot body has come from!

Cheryl looked remarkably different at The X Factor final compared to her debut on Popstars: The Rivals. We look back at her changing face over the years

Forever stunning Cheryl Fernandez-Versini looked incredible at this weekend’s The X Factor final, in a long red sparkling gown. But we also noticed that she looked remarkably different in the face.

Firstly, there was the controversial red eyeshadow, which received terrible reviews on Twitter:

‘Has Cheryl been punched in the face what’s round her eyes,’ wrote one Twitter user.

‘Cheryl‘s makeup looks like she’s let a 6 year old loose on her face with a Claire’s eyeshadow palette,’ said another.

But it wasn’t just her makeup that caught our eye.

Looking back at pictures of Cheryl in her own talent show days, when she took part in Popstars: The Rivals as member of successful girl-band Girls Aloud, we can’t believe it’s the same Cheryl that we gawp at today.

Yes, it was 12 years ago and yes, Cheryl has undergone a superstar make-over – but the difference is incredible!

Cheryl‘s look has seriously evolved since the youthful, chubby-cheeked 19-year-old Geordie lass we first fell in love with in 2002. A seriously glam phase followed when she began dating Ashley Cole; then came toned-down, brunette Cheryl when she first joined The X Factor in 2008.

The blonde bob made an appearance in 2009, before Cheryl‘s notorious 2012 appearance on The X Factor USA with a rounder-looking face and, erm, kind of dodgy outfit…

But when Cheryl returned to The X Factor this year as a newly-married woman, her face was slimmer, hair blonder and cheekbones sharper.

During The X Factor final, Cheryl‘s face looked thinner and more defined than ever, as the popstar appears to be slimming down with every appearance.

But there’s one thing that cannot be argued: Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has looked incredible at pretty much every stage of her 12 years in the limelight… Just maybe ditch the dodgy 2012 X Factor USA outfit, Chez.

Cheryl Cole is a doting auntie to Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh's baby Bobby

Kimberley Walsh has received lots of love and support from her Girls Aloud bandmates since becoming a mum.

The singer, who welcomed son Bobby with boyfriend Justin Scott in September 2014, admits her little boy has already been treated to fancy presents from Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts.

‘Cheryl spoiled him rotten!’ says Kimberley, 33. ‘She bought him a full-on Fendi bomber jacket for when he’s about six months. I laughed when I saw it!

‘I said: “Of course this is from you!” It’s so cute. She’s fully kitted him out with clothes, he’ll be better dressed than us! 

‘[Nicola] said she needed to see him, get an idea of his personality and get a vibe of what he was going to wear before she could style him properly!

‘I told her: “He’s a baby!”‘

Sarah Harding also sent well-wishes to Kimberley Walsh, despite having a busy schedule with BBC gymnastics show Tumble at the time of Bobby‘s birth.

‘Sarah texted and said she’d really like to come and see him, which was really nice,’ says Kimberley.

‘I told her to come over once she was out of the Tumble madness.’

It’s nice to hear that Kimberley has stayed in touch with Sarah.

Last year, the singer revealed that she had concerns about doing Girls Aloud‘s reunion tour because of Sarah Harding‘s fragile state.

The singer says that 33-year-old Sarah – who previously went to rehab for depression, alcohol problems and an addiction to sleeping pills – started to worry her when she broke down in tears before the band’s press conference announcing their plans.

‘She was terrified about going out in front of the press and TV cameras again, especially as there had been so much speculation about whether or not she was getting herself back together after her time in rehab,’ wrote Kimberley.

‘She’d had a couple of drinks to calm her nerves, which didn’t help matters. Sarah can be unpredictable when she’s nervous and we were all very anxious about her state of mind.

‘She really was in a bad way. She was so daunted by the whole thing, and I completely understood. Of all of us, she had the most to prove.’

Sarah Harding‘s behaviour was so worrying that it led Kimberley Walsh to have doubts over whether the reunion shows should go ahead.

‘I even wondered whether a tour was the right thing for her to be doing – it became a moral dilemma,’ Kimberley confessed in her autobiography A Whole Lot Of History.

‘I wanted the tour to be amazing, but not at the expense of Sarah‘s wellbeing.’

Cher would like to be a mentor like X Factor judge Cheryl

Cher Lloyd is happy that she’s become close to former X Factor mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini again.

Cheryl, 31, helped Cher to come fourth on the show back in 2010 but they drifted apart afterwards, with Cher even making a dig about the Girls Aloud star’s singing abilities in 2012.

But luckily the pair are now mates again and Cher’s really enjoyed resuming their friendship. A bit of girlfriend love, that’s what we like to see.

‘We Tweeted back and forth,’ says Cher, 21.

‘It’s been good getting back in touch.’

Cher Lloyd was just a teenager when she auditioned for The X Factor and admits that she was probably a bit too young to cope with the experience.

Fortunately she thinks she’s matured an awful lot since those days.

‘I’m not going to apologise anymore, I’ve done enough of that,’ the singer explains.

‘Of course a 16-year-old girl isn’t going to be experienced enough to cope with some of those things I went through.

‘I’m a different person now and much more confident.’

Having been successful both in the UK and US since her debut single Swagger Jagger topped the charts in 2011, Cher Lloyd would love to emulate former coach Cheryl and become a mentor.

‘I wouldn’t say no to mentoring, I would enjoy that,’ says Cher.

‘I would love to guide someone who was in the same boat as me and spend proper time talking to them and understanding what they want.’

The ambitious young star has also got her sights set on achieving other feats at some stage in her career.

‘I’ve been offered some film scripts and auditions for Hollywood,’ she tells the Daily Star.

‘But now I’m concentrating on my music. Acting is what I want to do in the future, but it’s just music right now.

‘Perfume and clothing lines can come later too!’

The X Factor judge has been through some rough patches

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has revealed how she learned to cope during difficult times in the past few years.

The singer is feeling much more settled these days after overcoming some trying events, such as her divorce from first husband Ashley, her battle with malaria and her very public sacking from the US X Factor.

But through it all Chezza has ensured she remains grounded by taking stock every now and then.

‘[I got through it] myself,’ says Cheryl, 31.

‘[By] taking time for myself. Realising what’s around. Re-evaluating everything. I’ve been through a bit, you know?

‘To reach this point is like a breath of fresh air, honestly. I can breathe. And I’m 30! I’m a woman! I’m older!

‘I’d be worried if I wasn’t [wiser too].’

Cheryl is well aware that her life has been like a rollercoaster and has found it very tough at times.

‘It definitely played out in the media that way,’ the X Factor judge says.

‘It was harsh. Brutal, actually. The endless reports. Barefaced lies. The character assassinations. All that stuff.

‘When you think about it, when you’re at school, and you hear someone’s talking harsh about you, and you know that sinking feeling?

‘”Oh my God, that girl was being really mean about us?” All those horrible feelings. It was like that, but times a million.’

Luckily Cheryl has reached a much happier place now and is entering the New Year on a high.

Last year she made a sensational return as an X Factor judge, released her third solo album and married French love Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.

We can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for her!

Her show, The X Factor, scooped a gong but Cheryl was nowhere to be seen

We love Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. We love her red carpet looks, her hair, her cute dimples…

So we were MEGA excited when we saw her on the guestlist for Wednesday night’s National Television Awards, then we were also MEGA disappointed when she didn’t turn up.

But there may be more to this no-show than meets the eye.

Ever since The X Factor final Cheryl seems to have gone to ground, we haven’t seen her and the last time we heard a peep from the Geordie lass was on New Year’s Day when she Tweeted her good wishes to her followers.

But on Wednesday, fans grew concerned for Cheryl after she Tweeted this cryptic message: ‘People should never jump to conclusions about others… You never know what they may be dealing with #thatsall.’

Fans replied with, ‘I hope you’re okay,’ ‘We miss you’, ‘Where have you been?’ but Cheryl kept schtum and didn’t make her appearance on the red carpet with fellow judges Simon Cowell and Mel B.

The following morning she posted an old snap of herself, Mel B and Louis Walsh on Instagram saying ‘Congratulations,’ to The X Factor for winning.

Following the show it was rumoured that she and husband Jean-Bernard took some time out to have a second honeymoon and that there’s been whispers they went glamping. No doubt it was super glam and in some far away paradise.

But there was also talk that Cheryl, 31, might be thinking about taking some time out from singing and was considering going back to her studies. Yes, really!

Reports emerged Cheryl was thinking about hitting the classroom so she can help her husband run his company.

The singer’s spouse is the co-founder of Cosy Box, a pop-up night club. It’s been at Cannes Film Festival for the last seven years and it’s rumoured that Cheryl is helping to pick a new London location.

A source said: ‘Cheryl had some time out of the limelight and now she’s been back in the thick of it she realises the time away was good for her.

‘Jean-Bernard‘s been going to work with her all the way through The X Factor. Now she’s planning to return the favour so they don’t have to spend time apart. Cheryl is already pretty business-savvy but she’s really keen to learn the ropes of what her husband does.’

Aww, cute. We hope we see them out again soon!

X Factor judge, Cheryl, posts cryptic quotation to her Instagram

Not a happy bunny: Cheryl has a lot to get off her chest Photo | Now

She’s been embroiled in a recent spat with her fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh.

But it looks like someone else may have been upsetting Mrs Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

The Call My Name singer posted a cryptic message to her Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning, about how others have made a living out of her and she is sick of ‘bulls***’.

‘I have fed mouths that have talked ‘shit’ about me,’ reads the anonymous quotation. ‘I’ve wiped tears off the faces of the people that have caused mine. I have picked up people that have tried to knock me down.

‘I’ve done favours for people that can do nothing for me. I have been there for people that have not been there for me.

‘CRAZY? Maybe… But I will NOT lose myself in the hatred of others.’

Rant: Cheryl posted this to her Instagram

It’s not clear whether the quotation is another swipe at Louis or a dig at someone else close to the star, but it continues: ‘Life isn’t easy but even through all the bullshit…I will still be here, being me.’

Contrary to her latest post, Cheryl looked very happy when out and about yesterday in London.

The 31-year-old had taken some lucky fans shopping after they had won a styling day with her, and Cheryl boasted a sunny smile on her face as she was snapped perusing the boutiques on Bond Street.

The star has recently been seen out looking very happy Photo| Now magazine

So who could have upset her from then to now?

Last week it was reported how Louis claimed the pair ‘haven’t fallen out’ after he branded her ‘lazy and irrelevant’, and said Cheryl texted him ‘saying funny things’ with ‘no nastiness’, after his quotes were aired because ‘she knows I’m writing a book.’.

But while Louis said there were no hard feelings, Cheryl did not agree.

She posted a screenshot of what he said with an emoji of a person rowing in a boat, captioned: ‘And back pedal 1&2&3&4 until out of sight. Ps I would not have found the text messages I sent to be ‘funny’ but ok!! Toodles.’

This was followed with a photo of a person waving.

One thing is for sure, we wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Chez!

Posting some cryptic messages on Twitter, fans are worried about Cheryl Fernandez-Versini

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has a lot on her mind at the moment. She’s got the X Factor coming up, and maintaining the volume and shine of that gorgeous hair must be a full-time job.

But it seems like there’s more than that to Cheryl’s mind, as the 32-year-old posted some tweets this week, that left us wondering if the popstar needs to getaway with a spa break. We’d happily keep her company…

In a now deleted tweet, the Fight for your Love singer wrote: ‘Is it just me or is there something really weird about this year?! It feels like a really strange year weird things keep happening?’

She then followed it with saying…

Ooh, we wonder who that could’ve been about?!

The tweets have left Cheryl’s soldiers – that’s fans to you and me – a bit worried about the star, as well as a wave of support from them.

From one outraged fan who couldn’t comprehend how anyone couldn’t like our Geordie lass: ‘I don’t know how people can be like that when you’re literally the best person ever.’

To another fan giving Cheryl words of wisdom and motivation: ‘don’t let a few silly people get you down the majority here appreciate what you do for everyone.’

But that’s not all of it. The plot thickens. These tweets come just days after she posted a quote on Instagram that was all a bit emosh.

‘I have fed mouths that have talked shit about me. I’ve wiped tears of the faces of the people that have caused mine. I have picked up people that have tried to knock me down.’

Aw Chezza!

The quote continues, asking is it’s crazy to stick through people who haven’t appreciated her, but nothing will knock our Cheryl down. She is a soldier after all remember!

‘I will NOT lose myself in the hatred of other; I continue to be me because , I am who I am and it is my nature. Life isn’t easy but even through all the bullshit…. I will still be here, being me.’

You. Go. Girl.

Maybe the quote could have been directed to ex-fellow X Factor judge, Louis Walsh, who called Cheryl ‘lazy and irrelevant’.

Don’t worry, our girl had it covered, and hit back to Louis and asked: ‘Dear Lou Lou. Try using your mouth to say something positive about something positive.’

Whatever the cause for these messages, it doesn’t seemed to have dampened Cheryl’s spirits too much, as she’s proper excited to start the new series of  the X Factor along with new judges Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora.

‘Excited to be back on The X Factor. Welcome to the show Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw.. and of course Cowell himself this year is going to be so much fun!!! We’re so excited to find the next star’

Ah we can’t wait! Saturday nights won’t know what’s hit it!

And this weekend sees the contestants jet off to judges houses to perform for a place in the live shows which start on October 31st.

Cheryl’s groups will be going to Rome, a decision she said she made because: ‘You have to take into consideration the contestants and how they’re going to be feeling.’

‘I didn’t want jet lag, I didn’t want tired voices because it’s 4am. I wanted to give them pasta, I wanted them to be strong and ready.’

And strong and ready the groups will need to be if they’re to hit the top spot this year, in the entire 12 UK series of the show, there’s only ever been one group to steal the crown and that was Little Mix in 2011.

No pressure then, guys.

All of the groups have already had to change their names due to copyright reasons, so let’s hope 4th Impact, Alien Uncovered, Melody Stone, New Kings Order, Reggin n Bollie and BEKLN Mile have what it takes, eh?

See how much Cheryl has changed in the video below!

Appearing on your fellow X Factor judges' show gets you nothing but insults, apparently...

Nick Grimshaw whipped out the hard-hitting questions on BBC Radio 1 today after asking Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s own band Reggie ‘N’ Bollie, in front of the Queen of X Factor herself, what they hated about her.

Naturally they were hesistant – is there anything bad to say about a human who calls you pet? – so Grimmy jumped in with his answer:

‘How slowly does she walk?’

That’s cold, Nick.

But Cheryl quickly responded: ‘It’s not my fault. I’m a size ten or three or something. I’m like “Nicholas wait! Wait for me!”’

We feel your pain Cheryl, even if that makes no sense.

Well her Ghanaian double-act defended their ‘boss’, as they lovingly call her, but they feel like she ‘worries too much.’

The Cheryl love train continued once 4^th Impact made their arrival, their trademark positivity drowning out even the potentially hungover Grimmy, filling the airways with a chorus of ‘I love Cheryl’s’. You just don’t mess with Cheryl’s squad…

After what appeared to be a big night at the British Fashion Awards yesterday, Cheryl visited Grimmy’s breakfast show (admittedly a little worse for wear…) with the wonderful hashtag #GrimmyOnCheryl, so people could ask the pop-sensation some burning questions.

Fans obviously took this very serious, with one asking if she ever fell into a hole, and we can confirm that she has, in fact, ‘dodged a manhole.’ We’ll leave the innuendo to you.

Any X Factor criticism doesn’t seem to have bothered either of them, as both Nick and Cheryl still have acts in the finals – beating their X Factor boss Simon Cowell – but also, as pictures form the British Fashion Awards prove, the two of them are totally bezzies.

We love you guys.

The post What does Nick Grimshaw hate the MOST about Cheryl Fernandez-Versini?! appeared first on Now magazine.

Is Nadine Coyle getting frozen out of a possible Girls Aloud reunion?

Brace yourselves, Girls Aloud fans – your prayers may soon be answered. A second Girls Aloud reunion might on the way – as a foursome.

While Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, 32, is still close to Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding, an insider reveals there’s too much bad blood between Cheryl and Nadine Coyle, 30, for them to work together again. A music industry insider tells us: ‘Cheryl ‘s working on one of her biggest career plans yet, to get some of Girls Aloud back together for a new record – but Nadine is definitely not invited. She’s feeling really put out by the whole thing.

‘Cheryl wants to get in the studio and have each of the girls making cameo appearances on songs she’s been working on for release next year. She hopes that will warm people up to the band again and then they can come out with an explosive new album on the back of that. But Nadine won’t be a part of it.’

It’s well known that the girls’ last split, after their 2012 reunion, was acrimonious. Kimberley, 34, wrote in her 2013 autobiography A Whole Lot Of History: ‘In the end… I just didn’t know how to relate to [Nadine] any more — none of us did.’ She also admitted she was ‘uneasy’ about the 2012 reunion, saying: ‘By the time we got to the actual shows, some of the old problems and niggles we had with Nadine started bubbling to the surface again. Nothing had really changed.’

Although Nadine strongly denied that she ever wanted the group to split at the end of their Ten tour, Cheryl slammed her claims as ‘full of shit’ in November 2014. She then promptly unfollowed Nadine on Twitter – and still hasn’t followed her back, although when we checked, Nadine’s still following Cheryl. Awkward.

CHERYL DOES AN IMPRESSION OF VICKY PATTISON AND IT’S BRILLIANT

Nadine, who now lives in the US, has been back in the UK recently, but our insider says she’s still getting radio silence from Cheryl and the girls – and hasn’t even been invited to The X Factor, as the rest of the girls are each week. ‘Cheryl and Nicola were tied up working together in the studio and the other girls in the band haven’t really reciprocated Nadine’s attempts to get in touch,’ says our insider.

‘Nadine would be on the plane back to the UK like a shot if the girls wanted to reunite, but it’s 100 per cent clear she won’t be invited to do anything. They’re very much a gang of four now and Nadine isn’t part of that.’

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini may have re-married but The X Factor judge is still branded Mrs Cole

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini might have moved on from her football player ex-husband but it looks like she’s still ‘Mrs C’.

The former Girls Aloud singer – who changed her surname from Tweedy to Cole when she got hitched in 2006 – married her second spouse Jean-Bernard in July this year, reportedly just months after she started dating him.

Since returning to work on The X Factor, after a two-year hiatus, the star has insisted she be referred to by her new last name, but it seems she can’t get rid of her past that easily.

In a picture posted on her manager Lily England‘s Instagram page at an ICAP charity day yesterday, the etching she got on the back of her neck for Ashley Cole is clearly visible.

Does Cheryl plan on getting the artwork lasered off the back of her neck or is she standing by her inking?
She told The Guardian in 2010 that the tattoo was here to stay despite her marriage failing: ‘I’m not ashamed of anything. I’ve got nothing to rub away.’

Well ‘Mrs C’ could stand for Mrs Cheryl, right?
The TV talent show judge might have a bit of trouble converting a ‘C’ to an ‘FV’ so she could alternatively cover it up with something like the massive picture of a rosebush she has on her bottom and lower back.

She got the rose tatt on her lower back to conceal a small flower tattoo on her left bum cheek from 2007.
It also hides the tribal butterfly tattoo on her lower back, which she got circa 2002.

Cheryl wore a white collared shirt, with her hair up in a bun on top of her head, as she took part in ICAP Charity Day with the likes of Prince Harry, Helen Mirren and TOWIE‘s Lauren Pope.

Celebrities acted as stockbrokers with all money raised going to a selection of charities.

X Factor's Cheryl recently married, now is actress Kate Hudson dating her former flame dancer Derek Hough?

This is almost two much celebrity news for one story!

First up, the sad news. After a four-year engagement, and welcoming baby Bingham into the world in 2011, Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have finally confirmed that they have separated.

We say finally, not because anyone had an inkling that the pair were on the rocks, but because their official statement revealed ‘Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now’.

In fact, knowing what we do now, they seem to have gone all Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin on us, as they happily attended the LACMA Art + Film Gala in LA together in November and have been papped out and about, laughing and joking like any other couple.

Kate, 35, has a son Bingham with the Muse frontman as well as 10-year-old boy Ryder from her marriage to The black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson.

But what’s perhaps an even bigger deal is the claim that actress Kate – who is Goldie Hawn’s daughter – has moved on via a rebound relationship with star dancer, Derek Hough!

Kate and Dancing With the Stars professional Derek have been photographed together at events in the past, and sources have told American magazine US Weekly that the pair were spotted on a LA dinner date last weekend.

While the new coupling has come as a bit of surprise to the showbiz world, perhaps it shouldn’t do.

Back in 2013, Kate admitted that her fitness regime included intimate dance lessons with X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez Versini‘s reported ex-boyfriend.

‘My heart is really in contemporary jazz, but lately I’ve been ballroom dancing with Derek Hough. It’s been a real blast,’ she said at the time.

Maybe the two realised they shared a connection mid-samba? It would explain where Kate’s hot body has come from!

Cheryl looked remarkably different at The X Factor final compared to her debut on Popstars: The Rivals. We look back at her changing face over the years

Forever stunning Cheryl Fernandez-Versini looked incredible at this weekend’s The X Factor final, in a long red sparkling gown. But we also noticed that she looked remarkably different in the face.

Firstly, there was the controversial red eyeshadow, which received terrible reviews on Twitter:

‘Has Cheryl been punched in the face what’s round her eyes,’ wrote one Twitter user.

‘Cheryl‘s makeup looks like she’s let a 6 year old loose on her face with a Claire’s eyeshadow palette,’ said another.

But it wasn’t just her makeup that caught our eye.

Looking back at pictures of Cheryl in her own talent show days, when she took part in Popstars: The Rivals as member of successful girl-band Girls Aloud, we can’t believe it’s the same Cheryl that we gawp at today.

Yes, it was 12 years ago and yes, Cheryl has undergone a superstar make-over – but the difference is incredible!

Cheryl‘s look has seriously evolved since the youthful, chubby-cheeked 19-year-old Geordie lass we first fell in love with in 2002. A seriously glam phase followed when she began dating Ashley Cole; then came toned-down, brunette Cheryl when she first joined The X Factor in 2008.

The blonde bob made an appearance in 2009, before Cheryl‘s notorious 2012 appearance on The X Factor USA with a rounder-looking face and, erm, kind of dodgy outfit…

But when Cheryl returned to The X Factor this year as a newly-married woman, her face was slimmer, hair blonder and cheekbones sharper.

During The X Factor final, Cheryl‘s face looked thinner and more defined than ever, as the popstar appears to be slimming down with every appearance.

But there’s one thing that cannot be argued: Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has looked incredible at pretty much every stage of her 12 years in the limelight… Just maybe ditch the dodgy 2012 X Factor USA outfit, Chez.
