Cheryl Cole launches lipstick for charity

Cheryl Cole has teamed up with cosmetics giant L’Oreal to create a limited edition of her first ever lipstick, from the Color Riche range called ‘Red Passion’, to raise money for her charity. The lipstick is pegged at 8.16 pounds each and a pound from every sale will go to the The Cheryl Cole Foundation in aid of The Prince’s Trust. Cole said that she was ‘thrilled’ to be able to not only create her own lipstick but to help charity at the same time. “I love wearing lipstick as it is makes me feel glamorous whatever the occasion. I chose this iconic luxurious, red shade as it is the perfect dramatic accessory,” she said. “I am so thrilled the funds raised from my L’Oréal Paris lipstick can make a difference to people’s lives through my foundation with The Prince’s Trust,” she added.

The singer said that a lot of thought had gone behind choosing the shade of the lipstick as she wanted to pick one that would suit everyone.

“When selecting the shade I chose one I felt would flatter most hair and skin types, and is the red that everyone wants in their make-up bag,” she said.

“I will be wearing my L’Oréal - Our Company Paris Color Riche ‘Red Passion’ lipstick with minimal make-up and a touch of mascara to compliment the intense colour,” she added.

Cheryl Cole looking for more Victoria Beckham dresses

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole wants to own more Victoria Beckham dresses in 2012 because she’s a huge fan of the former Spice Girls singer’s creations. The 28-year-old singer donned one of Victoria’s creations for an awards show in London earlier this year, and she says she is very keen to wear more of them in the next 12 months. "I think Victoria Beckham is another girl who killed it this year. I love Victoria, I love her clothes and, actually, my festive wish would to be wearing more of it next year," Cole said.

Despite seeing her profile peak during her stint as a judge on UK TV show ‘X Factor’, for which she became known for her style, Cole said that fashion was the last thing on her mind when she was on the show.

"At the moment, I’m not constantly on TV, it’s not as intense as it once was. I feel more relaxed because I’m judging doing music, going to the studio. To be honest, when I was on ‘X Factor’, what I wore was the least of my worries.

She couldn’t have been nicer," said a source. Ashley is said to have also called Cheryl last week to arrange tickets to the National Television Awards night and asked to meet her after the ceremony. "He has been getting some positive signals from Cheryl and has been responding to them. He called her from the training ground and she told him she was going and he wanted tickets," said a friend.

"He said he’d be discreet and make sure they weren’t pictured together - and then they could meet somewhere private afterwards. They talked for 10 minutes. It was obvious from his reaction she was unsure - but only because she was worried they’d be pictured. She wasn’t against the idea of meeting," the friend added.

Cheryl Cole gets a new tattoo for fresh start

Singer Cheryl Cole says her new tattoo marks a sign of "fresh start" in her life after her split from soccer player Ashley Cole.

Cole, who is said to be dating dancer Derek Houghs, has a barbed wire design on her left thigh and a Polynesian tribal symbol on her hand.

Cheryl Cole looking for babies outside wedlock

Despite wanting to start a family, Cheryl Cole has ruled out walking down the aisle again. The X Factor judge shocked her dancer boyfriend Derek Hough last weekend when she told him that she will never marry again. “Cheryl has told Derek point blank that she won’t marry him,” said a close pal of Derek. “They’ve been talking a lot recently about what the future holds for them. Cheryl has told Derek she loves him and wants to settle down and start a family. But she’s made it quite clear that it won’t involve a wedding,” he added. “She’s been permanently scarred by her marriage break-up with Ashley and can’t face going through another divorce,” said the friend. The revelation was the second blow for the blond hunk in as many days after Cole told him she would not move in with him when she relocates to America. “Derek has really been hit hard by Cheryl’s change of heart. He is desperate to get married and settle down,” said the friend.

“She wants to have babies – and lots of them – and has told him that he’s the man she wants to be with. But he had his hopes set on a really big wedding,” he added.

He said Hough is very traditional and grew up in a Mormon household where having children out of wedlock is absolutely not acceptable.

Sources said that they were more in love than ever after their romantic New Year getaway to South Africa. But the 27-year-old Geordie star has made it clear to Hough that he must be patient and go at her speed or their relationship will be over.

"I don’t plan my outfits at all. If I like a frock, I’ll wear it. It doesn’t matter to me where it’s from or who it’s by," she said.

Cheryl Cole to meditate on mountains

A relaxed, six-month long break on a mountain is all that British singer Cheryl Cole wants after going through a marriage split and contracting malaria in 2010. "It would be nice to take six months out and got to a mountain top and just meditate, let myself go," said Cole. Last year was quite stressful for her as she divorced her soccer player husband Ashley Cole and battled potentially-fatal malaria, which she contracted during a trip to Africa with rumored boyfriend Derek Hough. After her split, she even thought of taking some therapy, but decided against it. "It crossed my mind but I’m not trusting enough to bare my soul to a stranger. I’m lucky that I’ve got friends and family to turn to," she said.

No matter how she felt, she was determined to put on a brave face in public. "It’s very much a perception. Nobody knows what I went through behind closed doors. Nobody knows what it was like when I was on my own. Of course I held it together in public. Who wouldn’t?"

She is now a judge on the US version of "The X Factor".

Justin Bieber is looking for a girlfriend and says his perfect woman would be a Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry cross.

But since they are both too old for him, Biebster wants to take both Cole and Perry out for dinner so he can tap them up for some dating advice.

"Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry are two of the hottest girls in the world - and so normal and funny with it”, said Bieber.

"If I was a few years older they are the kind of girls I’d like to date. I want a younger version of Cheryl and Katy - a mixture of the two would be hot.

"Maybe they could coach me and tell me how to work out which ones are the good ones. That would be pretty awesome.

"I would like to invite the two of them out for dinner so they can tell me the best way to win a woman like them," he added.

Even though Justin concedes he can’t date his two potential agony aunts, he would still like to record with Katy and Cheryl -and also with Robbie Williams.

"I want to meet Cheryl and Katy in a professional capacity too, not just because they are hot but because they are super talented, he said.

Cheryl Cole is getting rid of gifts that her soon-to-be-ex-husband Ashley bought her during their marriage.

The 26 year old, Girls Aloud star, is believed to have given away thousands of pounds worth of gifts – including jewellery from her love-rat hubby.

Unwanted necklaces, earrings and bracelets were dished out to her pals and mum Joan during a recent girl’s night in.

Cheryl has given away a diamond heart pendant.

Cheryl has had a massive clear-out, like anyone would after a break-up. A load of jewellery, especially earrings and necklaces, some of which were bought for her by Ashley, were thrown into the tidy-up.

"She didn’t even like a lot of the pieces as they’re not her style, far too bling.

"Even the bits she does like, she doesn’t want to wear them, although she has held on to her wedding ring.

She has closed that chapter of her life so she wants rid of a lot of the things they have accumulated.

The singer launched divorce proceedings against the Chelsea and England defender, Ashley, last week.

Cheryl Cole files for divorce from Ashley

Cheryl Cole has launched divorce action against love rat husband Ashley, and she’s not asking for any money from him.

The stunning singer wants a "clean break" so that she can start her life afresh.

In fact, the Girls Aloud beauty will let Chelsea soccer star Ashley keep their 6-million-pound mansion.

According to a source, "Cheryl made a swift decision to put England’s World Cup dreams ahead of herself. The divorce should be finalised before England’s first touch of the ball in South Africa on June 12.

"She knows how vital it is for Ashley to have a completely clear head and concentrate entirely on his football and performance, with no distractions or emotional pulls.

"She wants a completely clean break with no malice or wrangling over property or money. Cheryl will not take one penny of Ashley’s money.

"Crucially, people expected her to request their Surrey mansion as part of the divorce terms. But the house means nothing to her.

"She only moved there because it was important for them to be near Ashley’s training ground. Cheryl is giving the house to him."

Cheryl’s divorce papers cite the reason for the split as 29-year-old Cole’s "unreasonable behaviour".

The source added: "She has fully accepted there is no going back after Ashley’s cheating and their marriage breakdown.

"So this divorce will be clean, swift, amicable and smooth. Cheryl has no spite towards Ashley and has been incredibly mature and considered in how she has handled the split."
