She's obvs. finally hired a stylist.
BTW: here a an OT article on her plans to come... interesting to say the least!
LADIES and gentleman, take your seats and prepare for take off . . . of CHERYL COLE'S solo career as the British BRITNEY SPEARS.
I can finally unveil the top secret plans that will turn the Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge into a megastar.
Cheryl has hired the hit machine behind one of Britney's biggest tracks, Toxic - where the US star dressed as an air hostess in the video.
My art wizards have mocked up how Cheryl might look in a similar outfit as she prepares for a high-flying solo spell.
But it means her blossoming TV career is likely to take a backseat.
Cheryl, 26, will jet to Sweden and America this month to put the finishing touches to her first single.
It will be released in October - months before anyone expected - and quickly followed by a solo album.
That means she will beat band mate NADINE COYLE, who had hoped to be the first member of Girls Aloud to go it alone.
Fellow X Factor judge SIMON COWELL has agreed to let Cheryl launch her chart-topping bid with a performance on the new series of the ITV talent show.
That starts a whirlwind year for Cheryl. She's due to collaborate with Swedish Grammy award-winning production duo Bloodshy and Avant, who worked on Britney's hit Toxic and latest single Radar.
Then it's on to LA where she'll team up with will.i.am, who was Michael Jackson's last producer. Cheryl has already worked with the Black Eyed Peas star on the hit Heartbreaker.
After going solo for six months, she'll return to Girls Aloud next year to record their sixth album.
Then friends reckon she'll take some time out to start a family with footballer hubby ASHLEY COLE.
A pal said: "She wants to be a pop star, not a TV star. She's only committed to X Factor this year and doesn't know if she'll have time to do another one.
"Her music is very different to Girls Aloud. It's pop with an urban twist and the first single is incredible. There's millions being pumped into the promotion, recording, photo shoots and music videos. The plan is to make her as huge as Britney and MADONNA."
XS SAYS: I'M backing Cheryl's bid to become Britain's biggest pop starlet. She's got the looks, charisma and, from what I'm hearing, the sound to challenge Britney as Princess of Pop.
