..feza..

CHERYL Cole clutched her new hubby's hand as they were driven to a do on Sunday night -where the Love Machines smooched all night.

Football's new golden couple were treated like royalty at Ashley's best pal Jermaine Wynter's 21st birthday do, where guests queued up to greet them on the top table at Planet Hollywood's Rex bar and cinema.

It was the first time Ash had been reunited with his ushers, Wynter, DJ Masterstepz and Charlton footballer Jonathan Fortune, since his wedding and they were falling about with laughter recalling the day.

Our champagne-sipping source on Sunday said: "When Ash wasn't larking around with the boys, he was glued to Cheryl's face." Ah, newly-wedded bliss!

Moaner Cheryl is Girl Annoyed
CHERYL TWEEDY has lashed out at more fellow celebs.

This time it’s the boys from UPPER STREET who are on the receiving end of Mrs ASHLEY COLE’s acid tongue.

She moaned: “This whole reunited band stuff is driving me insane.

“They’ve picked five random guys from other bands and put them together in a TV show. I’ve never heard anything like it.”

Careful, Chez. It’s not so different from your reality TV path to fame and fortune.

SAINTS ARE SINNERS
CHERYL TWEEDY RAGES AT POP RIVALS AMAZING RANT SETS UP NEW FEUDS
FEISTY Cheryl Tweedy has launched a vicious attack on pop rivals All Saints.

In an amazing rant, Chezza has accused Shaznay Lewis, Melanie Blatt and Nicole and Natalie Appleton of COPYING Girls Aloud.

"The new All Saints sound just sounds like us," the 23-year-old singer snapped.

Not content with slamming their music, she then tore into the Saints for jumping aboard the reunion bandwagon.

"They must have looked at what's working at the moment and thought we'll go that way, but the whole reuniting band thing at the moment is driving me insane."

Trying to keep up in the bitchiness stakes, band-mate Kimberley Walsh added: "Good luck to them, I hope they stay friends this time."

Amazingly, Cheryl, a member of Girls Aloud since they won reality talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, had the cheek to blast new boyband Upper Street for starting on TV.

"They've picked five random guys and put together a TV show," she fumed. "I've never heard anything like it... they're all like old men now."

Former Another Level singer Dane Bowers, who is in Upper Street with New Kids On The Block's Danny Wood, responded: "Cheryl told us on T4 that she really liked our song. Funny she's changing her tune now she's realised that we're both releasing on the same day."

Chezza who hasn't calmed down since her summer wedding to Chelsea star Ashley Cole, also slammed the Pussycat Dolls for releasing too many singles.

"I like their music but they've hammered the album, this is like their 20th single off it," she said.

Speaking on MTV News this week, she then ridiculed Pussycat lead singer Nicole's attempts to go solo. "I don't think she could (cut it solo). You've got the likes of Beyonce, Britney and Christina. I don't think she stands out as amazing. She hasn't got what Christina's got."

Her outburst is similar to last year's spat with Charlotte Church who she also accused of ripping off her band's sound.

She told Radio 1 that Girls Aloud were developing and would "let Charlotte get on with using their old sound."

That followed her attack on Chazza's boyfriend Gavin Henson. "I don't know who she and her scabby boyfriend think they are," she said.

She then mocked Charlie for her crisps ads, saying: "The one where she is stuffing her face? Very appropriate."

Charlotte hit back with: "Look love, when you can sing f***ing Ave Maria, then you can have a go," before vowing to "knock her out".

If the All Saints girls do take Cheryl's bait we can look forward to a good fight. They feuded with the Spice Girls in the 90s and Shaznay had to be pulled apart from Jay Kay after a bust-up at an awards ceremony.

Seconds out, round two...

Girls use un-Saintly language
October 12, 2006
ALL SAINTS have hit back in their row with GIRLS ALOUD by labelling their pop rivals "stupid little girls" that they "don't really give a f***" about.

CHERYL COLE started the feud last week by announcing: "The new All Saints sound just sounds just like us.

"They must have looked at what's working at the moment and thought we'll go that way, but the whole thing is driving me insane."

And the Saints couldn't wait to respond - starting a new pop feud that will hopefully rival Cheryl's slanging matches with CHARLOTTE CHURCH.

Chatting to MTV's Tim Kash, MELANIE BLATT sarcastically said: "What Cheryl said is so true... because Jump For My Love is so where I wanna be.

"We could only aspire and dream to be like them. Hopefully one day we will achieve that. For now we will just have to make do with copying them."

SHAZNAY LEWIS then took a more serious tone, blasting: "In all honesty they are stupid little girls and we don't really give a f***. That's the end of that."

With Nicole Appleton clapping in agreement, Shaz continued: "I don't want to talk about them anymore because I've got no respect for them..

"I don't want to waste any of my interview time talking about them."

When asked if there were any similarities between the groups, Nicole blasted: "We all have vaginas. That's about as similar as it gets."

Will Girls Aloud hit back? Watch this space.

Cheryl plays two up front
October 23, 2006

CHERYL COLE looks WAGnificent in her red push-up bra.

The GIRLS ALOUD star borrowed CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S Dirrty look with a revealing crimson top and matching lippy.

She was at London’s Cuckoo Club on a night out with Chelsea star hubby ASHLEY.

And it’s set to be one of their last this year, with Cheryl’s schedule hectic until Christmas.

Girls Aloud are planning to cover the old Tiffany track I Think We’re Alone Now.

In Ash and Cheryl’s case, the title’s just wishful thinking.

Gorgeous Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has hit back at claims that she and her England football star husband Ashley are Britain’s greediest celebrity couple.

Chelsea defender Ashley was blasted after last summer's World Cup finals for rejecting a £55,000-a-week pay offer from former club Arsenal, who talent-spotted him as a schoolboy.

Rivals Chelsea finally stepped in to offer the 25-year-old left back more than £90,000-a-week after a bitter transfer saga lasting 19 months.

But his 23-year-old wife says she's been "hurt" by critics who label her husband 'Cashley Cole'.

She told the Sun newspaper: "I wish they’d stop calling me Greedy. They don't even know me or Ashley. He is the kindest, softest, loveliest person.

"People call me names all the time but it hurts more when I hear Ashley being called them. It’s so far from the person he is. They don’t know how much he does for charity, he keeps that private.

"He even gets offended if I try to pay the bill when we’re at a restaurant. The latest I've heard is that we’re buying a house in the Seychelles. It's rubbish. We went there for our honeymoon and it was the most boring place ever. It would drive us mad."

Defending his move to Chelsea at the time, Cole said: "People are going to like me and people are going to hate me. I know full well that I'm not a greedy person. I've not come here for money. I've come here because I want to win things and I have a good chance of winning things at Chelsea."

I would vote for the Beckhams before i'd for the Coles!!Cheryl's definitely not greedy!!

Tweedy: Don't call us greedy

October 28, 2006

GIRLS Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole has blasted critics who called her “Cheryl Greedy” and her soccer star hubby Ashley Cole “Cashley”.

England ace Ashley was targeted for demanding a move from his club Arsenal after they offered him £55,000-a-week pay.

Furious Cheryl, 23 — who was called Tweedy before she wed — said: “I wish they’d stop calling me Greedy. They don’t even know me or Ashley. He is the kindest, softest, loveliest person.

“People call me names all the time — but it hurts more when I hear Ashley being called them. It’s so far from the person he is. They don’t know how much he does for charity, he keeps that private. He even gets offended if I try to pay the bill when we’re at a restaurant. The latest I’ve heard is that we’re buying a house in the Seychelles.

“It’s rubbish. We went there for our honeymoon and it was the most boring place ever. It would drive us mad.”

Cheryl and the rest of Girls Aloud, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding, celebrate their fourth year at the top with a Greatest Hits Album out on Monday.

Now she and Ashley are being touted as the next Posh and Becks.

Victoria Beckham took Cheryl under her wing at the World Cup while the other WAGS went partying.

Cheryl said: “It wasn’t like we planned it.

“I just clicked with Victoria, she is absolutely lovely. I text her all the time. But there is only one Posh and Becks — we could never follow

I hope Cheryl and Ash can achieve worldwide fame as the Beckhams but I hope she doesn't end up like Posh!!And I will be getting that greatest hits album!!

From Cheryl's 3am column:

I'M A LOTTE LIKE CHAR!
ENOUGH'S enough. I've just had my nails cut so no more getting the claws into Charlotte Church.

That's right, I want to call a truce with Char because she's just like me really. I had a long chat with Eva and Caroline about this, during our fantastic day taking over 3am.

And I'm using this opportunity to say: "Come on Char, let's call it a day."

We've got a lot in common - we both speak our minds. Things just spiralled out of control.

We were supposed to have accused her of pinching the Girls Aloud sound, and she slated our singing. She said when I can "f***ing sing Ave Maria" then I can have a go. But it's all water under the bridge.

Good on her, she's got her own programme. I think it's amazing. We all watch it when we have time off.

I'm upset that it got like that. It's unnecessary. I wouldn't hug her if I saw her, though.

I wouldn't go that far. Phew, I'm glad that's off my chest! And another thing... I can't stand those women who throw themselves at footballers. They think footballers equal handbags and shoes for them.

It's lazy, disgusting and materialistic.

They come into the clubs and literally say "Find me a footballer!" And the bouncers go and find them one.

Even if I'm out with my hubby Ashley Cole, they still don't care.

They think: "There's a footballer - let's get a story and make money."

If anyone tried to sell a story on Ashley I would put my husband before any whore.

The only time they care is when they have made a beeline for a footballer because he is rich.

And then those girls get cheated on and they get treated like absolute s**t.

But they've got to stay for the lifestyle - that's the rod they make for their own back.

They are thinking: "Should I leave him?" But they end up saying: "It's fine I forgive you - you can sleep around."

If it happened to me I wouldn't waste any negative energy on a man like that.

I would walk away but, believe me, it wouldn't happen!

Girls Aloud to meet Santa

November 02, 2006

CHRISTMAS is starting early for GIRLS ALOUD.

The fine fivesome are hot-footing it down to Harrods on Saturday to take part in the swish London store's Christmas Parade.

The girls will lead the way in two 1950s Cadillac convertibles, followed by an amazing array of animals including zebras, giraffes, elephants and real reindeer, and even MRS CHRISTMAS and her dancing children.

And the star of the parade - FATHER CHRISTMAS - will be arriving last in a horse-drawn carriage as magic snow falls from the sky.

He'll be setting up home in a magical grotto at the store before he heads out across the globe on Christmas Eve.

And NADINE, KIMBERLEY, CHERYL, SARAH and NICOLA will be handing in their Yuletide wish lists to him after they've performed a selection of their hits.

Though we're not quite sure what footballer ASHLEY COLE's wife could possibly wish for, or Nadine for that matter - after all she is dating Desperate Housewives hunk JESSE METCALFE!

A crowd of over 6000 people are expected to line the streets of Knightsbridge to see the big guy arrive from Lapland.

And he's sure to draft in the girls as his temporary, but very glamourous, helpers.

The street entertainment for Harrods' 21st Christmas Parade starts at 8am with stilt walkers, jugglers and fire eaters, Russian dancers and even an ice-skating polar bear to entertain the crowds and hand out balloons and refreshments.

Cheryl: Text pest stalked me

04/11/06

GIRLS Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole has revealed sinister phone stalkers even targeted her on her wedding day.

The pop babe, 23, told how she has been bombarded with sexually explicit calls and texts after a call centre worker gave out her details.

Cheryl yesterday revealed how she was horrified to get a chilling text as she prepared to walk down the aisle with England football star Ashley Cole.

The cowardly sender seemed to know exactly what she was doing by taunting: “Hi, you must be busy.”

Terrified Cheryl yesterday told of her fury at the sick attempt to ruin her fairytale summer wedding at posh Wrotham Park in Barnet, Herts. The creepy text came through just as she was putting on her stunning £110,000 Roberto Cavalli satin wedding dress.

She said: “I had one on my wedding day. How rude and inconsiderate is that? They blatantly knew I was getting married.”

Desperate Cheryl has now changed her phone number four times.

And she’s also switched mobile phone networks to escape calls from her twisted tormenters.

But she has been left so badly shaken that she now refuses to answer any calls she gets from withheld numbers.

Cheryl revealed her ordeal to the Daily Star yesterday at a Girls Aloud photoshoot in Tufnell Park, north London. She was clearly startled to receive a call from an unident-ified number as she spoke to us.

Looking at her phone, she told Hot’s Kim Dawson: “There you go, private number.”

Cheryl believes the call centre worker shared her personal details with pals who have since bombarded her with calls and texts – including hurtful insults about husband Ashley, 25.

She also called in police after being constantly plagued and is furious that her number got out. The chart-topper slammed her former phone operator, saying: “Their security is s****.”

Cheryl thinks bandmate Nicola Roberts’ number has been given out as she has had nuisance calls.

She said: “We’ve been told a guy at the phone company was giving out mine and Nicola’s numbers.”

The scare has prompted Cheryl and her Girls Aloud pals – Nicola, 21, Kimberley Walsh, 24, Nadine Coyle, 21 and Sarah Harding, 24 – to beef up their personal security. Kimberley said: “We do take security out with us. You feel better if somebody’s there on a night out. If all of us are together we can be targeted.”

The band are determined to carry on as normal as they launch their Christmas single, a cover of Tiffany’s cult 80s hit I Think We’re Alone Now.

Their video for the track will be premiered on Cheryl’s new network 3 Mobile.

Cheryl phone stalk terror

03/11/06

GIRLS Aloud babe Cheryl Cole has spoken of her hell at the hands of phone stalkers.

The babe has been left terrified after a call centre worker apparently shared her personal details with pals.

And they have begun to bombard her with sexually explicit calls and texts.

Many of the jibes were directed towards her Chelsea star husband Ashley Cole, 25.

Cheryl said: "I’ve been having a terrible time. It seems some guy who works at a call centre handed my number out and all his friends have been phoning me and sending me texts.

"I’ve had so many calls during the night and a few times a day. I have managed to find out the guy’s name and I’ve just told the police. It’s an absolute disgrace."

A police source said: "The gang has been giving her a lot of hassle. We are not going to say what the messages were about for operational reasons but let’s just say this is not a matter we would take lightly."

A pal said: "She’s upset because some of them have been saying really nasty things about Ashley."

It is the second stalker scare this year for the besieged beauty.

We revealed in April how the sex siren and her bandmates were being bombarded with a string of sleazy letters.

Security around the girls was stepped up after a former stalker of Mariah Carey, 36, shifted his attentions to the girls and particularly to Cheryl by sending them suggestive poems and notes

Ashley will never be missed

November 06, 2006

PERRY GROVES insists Arsenal are better off without Ashley Cole.

Cole finally joined fierce rivals Chelsea in August with William Gallas moving in the opposite direction.

And Groves believes the Gunners definitely got the better end of the deal.

The Arsenal old boy said: "Ashley has no affection or empathy with any of the fans now.

"It's not just because he left the club — the problem was the way he did it. He showed a total lack of class.

"If you were to ask any Arsenal fan if they thought the club would have reached the Champions League final without Thierry Henry, the answer would be no.

"But if you were to ask them would they have done it without Ashley, the answer would be yes — and that's exactly what they did last season.

"People forget that Arsenal made it to the final without even their second-choice left-back playing."

Groves, who played for the Gunners from 1986 to 1992, added: "Left-backs don't make that much difference to your team.

"But Ashley was a bit too full of his own self-importance.

"He felt the club should treat him the same way as Thierry Henry and try just as hard to keep him.

"But the difference was Arsenal simply couldn't afford to let Thierry go.

"Considering the team will always be built around him, of course Henry was going to be the most important player.

"Left-backs will change your team by one or two per cent. Centre forwards will change it by 10 per cent — and that's why they go for bundles of money.

"Ashley was never going to be treated the same way as Thierry. It's as simple as that."

Cole, 25, has struggled to find his best form since moving across London and the England ace believes it will take him at least a year to settle in fully.

Gallas, on the other hand, has immediately found his feet as part of Arsene Wenger's free-flowing side.

And Groves is not surprised by the duo's contrast in fortunes.

He said: "Ashley's a world-class left-back but playing for Arsenal will always suit him better than life at Chelsea.

"It's unlikely he'll ever admit it but Cole may look back at things in 15 years and realise he made a mistake.

"Gallas is so versatile and appears to be so much happier at Arsenal.

"Chelsea now have the two best left-backs in England and Ashley knows it doesn't matter if he struggles for form.

"They are the only club who can spend so much money and not have to worry about whether or not moves work out."

Guest

It's been revelaed that Ashley Cole fought off wannabe robbers after a brawl started outside a London nightclub last weekend. The England and Chelsea footy star had been out celebrating team mate Joe Cole’s birthday at posh nightspot Café de Paris on Saturday night with a whole host of footballers and glamour girls (no sign of new wife Cheryl Cole) when he became involved in a fight outside the club as the group left. During the commotion a man attempted to grab Ashley’s pal Shaun Wright-Phillips’ chain, worth thousands. An onlooker told the Sun: “The players had been having a ball but walked straight into a battlefield. One yob made a grab for Shaun’s chain and Ashley jumped in to defend him. The thief was knocked backwards and fled.”
Other players including Frank Lampard, Arjen Robben, Wayne Bridge and West Ham’s Carlton Cole were also at the scene. John Terry, Didier Drogba and Joe Cole, celebrating turning 25, left later through a side exit. Police said one man was taken to hospital and five arrested. No attempted robbery had been reported.

Good time Girls blow £1.2m

December 06, 2006

GIRLS Aloud raked in £1,234,267 in a year — but BLEW the lot on partying.

The wild pop band made a LOSS, despite having had a number one album last month.

And as our picture shows, Cheryl Cole was still letting the good times roll as she left a London nightspot at 3.30am yesterday. The girls SPENT £1,262,572, new accounts for their company Tapeview reveal.

They made an operating loss of £28,305 and have just £14,772 in the bank.

The accounts are signed by Cheryl and Sarah Harding — who is making a few extra quid as the new face of Ultimo underwear.

Cheryl, 23, Sarah, 25, Nadine Coyle, 21, Nicola Roberts, 21, and Kimberley Walsh, 25, all have 20 per cent shares in Tapeview.

A financial expert said: “It’s not dire straits. But when the money coming in is less than money going out, their spending has to be kept under control.”

Nicola admitted: “I spend my money on s***. Stupid things I don’t really need.”

Heroin hell of Girls Aloud Cheryl

Pop babe Cheryl Cole told last night of her heroin hell – and revealed that she has lost several friends to “smack”.

In an emotional interview Cheryl, who grew up on a tough Newcastle council estate, spoke for the first time about her hatred of the killer drug. The girl from the rundown Byker district has seen for herself the misery hard drugs can cause.

The gorgeous singer even helped “wean” an ex-boyfriend off cocaine. And she strongly criticised Babyshambles’ Pete Doherty, 27, for glorifying drugs.

Cheryl, 23, told music mag NME: “That junkie idiot. The problem I have with him is that I’ve lost friends to heroin and I just don’t get the idea of glorifying it.

“I think it’s disgusting. There are enough drug problems going on without him being in the public eye for it and sticking needles in his arm in the press. If he kicks his habit, he’ll be a lot more respected.”

Tough-talking Cheryl, who this year married Chelsea star Ashley, 25, may now enjoy a millionaire lifestyle, but she grew-up in a council house and knows all about hard knocks. She even had a run-in with the law four years ago when she was sentenced to community service after being found guilty of punching a black cloakroom worker in a Surrey nightclub.

But her former boyfriend Jason Mack, 29, says Cheryl saved his life after he became hooked on cocaine. He revealed: “Some days I’d blow £200 on the stuff and I’d be drinking bottles of Bud from 8am until I crashed out at God knows when.

“But she’d sit with me for hours to talk me out of going out and getting drugs. In a couple of weeks I turned my back on cocaine.”

Cheryl made her anti-drugs comments as Girls Aloud were photographed by the NME for a special issue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the Sex Pistols’ album Anarchy In The UK.

Cheryl: Back To Reality?

Dredge your minds back, if you possible can, to 2002, when a wee Geordie lass won the opportunity to become part of a new pop band called Girls Aloud...

A few years, and number ones later, Cheryl Cole has been asked to appear as a judge on a v similar show.

Yes, Cheryl has been asked to sit as a judge on the latest TV talent comp, Britain's Got Talent.

And her glam presence will certainly be welcomed as her fellow judging buddies, Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan, are somewhat lacking in that department.

But of course she will have to first see if she can juggle this gig alongside her busy GA schedule.

Chezza wouldn't be the first pop star to judge a talent show. She'd be following the likes of Geri Halliwell (Pop Idol), Lulu (Just The Two of Us) and Martine McCutcheon (Soapstar, Superstar).

A show insider told the Daily Mirror: "Cheryl ticks all the boxes for us - she's young, beautiful and highly successful, and we think she'd be perfect for the show.

"It's fitting that she herself found fame and fortune thanks to ITV's show Popstars: The Rivals."

Ash & Cheryl in threat to pull TV show

GIRLS Aloud star Cheryl Tweedy and Ashley Cole have threatened to pull out of a new fly-on the wall TV series ... because they don't want to become over-exposed.

Chelsea defender Cole, 26, and greedy Tweedy, 23 have promoted everything from fizzy drinks to the Lotto and even paid for their wedding with a £1m mag deal. In Cole's autobiography, he moaned when Arsenal of fered him £55k a week: "I nearly swerved of f the road, I was trembling with anger." I'm told the pair have filmed eight episodes of The Osbournes-style series, at a cost of more than £800,000. It was due to be screened on ITV in November. But I hear the couple are in talks with production firm UMTV, owned by Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, about pulling the plug.

An insider said: "It will cost them a fortune if they don't go ahead with it - but money isn't a problem.

"When they signed up, they were happy to open up their lives. But a lot of things have happened since and Ashley, in particular, is trying to maintain a low-profile. Bosses are trying to talk them around, but it's not looking too hopeful."

Cole and Chez shot the series after their £500,000 wedding at Wrotham Park, Herts last July. Scenes include Chez jetting off to visit the Beckhams in Spain and watching Ash's Chelsea debut. Chez also calls Gordon Ramsay for cookery tips before a dinner party. Come on, guys, let's see it!

Ashley and Cheryl Cole splash out on £3.5million home

Monday 5 February 2007

Ashley and Cheryl Cole have invested in a new seven bedroom mansion.

The couple have splashed out on the £3.5million pad in swanky Oxshott in Surrey and officially became the new owners on Friday.

Features of the property include underfloor heating, plasma TV screens in the bathroom and a walnut kitchen.

Ashley, 26, decided to leave his £2million home in Barnet, North London, after yobs sprayed graffiti on the front wall.

'They're over the moon,' a friend told The Sun. 'It's a dream property and a great investment.'

You're telling us. The idea of a television in the toilet is beyond even our wildest dreams.
