Step right up. Cheryl Cole has a guardian angel in the form of Simon Cowell.

The X-Factor darling whose marriage imploded in the most humiliating of circumstances could find herself with a seat on the Vegas caravan.

The UK newspaper The Mirror reports Cole has made it clear she likes America, and Cowell rates the tiny starlet.

Cowell’s X-Factor export to the US could be the biggest thing in entertainment this decade.

The rumoured addition of Cole, who has the experience of judge and contestant, is gaining ground in the wake of her marriage split.

According to the paper, Cowell has been in talks with execs for a $2.2 million deal with Cole.

Cowell said: “I took more of a gamble taking Piers Morgan to the States. Cheryl will be loved immediately. We’ve got to nail her down.”

One source said:”Getting the right combination for the panel is imperative and Cheryl ticks all the boxes. She is sassy, sexy, confident and knows her stuff musically. Her profile may not be large on Stateside yet, but that is not a huge mountain to climb. In fact, Simon thinks it will work to his advantage as there’s an element of mystery about her that is lacking from so many US stars. The money on offer is huge, but Simon knows it has to be a lot to persuade her to uproot and move over, albeit temporarily.”

Simon Cowell is reportedly trying to persuade Victoria Beckham to appear as a judge on the upcoming US version of The X Factor. However, the former member of the Spice Girls is claiming to be too busy. A source said “Victoria told Simon she needs time to think about it as she is so busy with her fashion work right now. Looking at her hectic schedule, some of the dates mooted could be problematic as David is away, so she wants to work from home and look after the kids. Simon is incredibly charming so who knows. They did have a long conversation and although Victoria thinks he will be too manic to commit, she loved her time on the Idol panel.”

Simon Cowell has confirmed that British hit reality talent show The X Factor will soon be heading to the US. The perennial talent show judge said “I think the show will go to America. It has to go to America. There has to be an American version of the show. To not make The X Factor in the biggest market in the world would be crazy.” If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know what The X Factor is, the show launched in the UK back in 2004 to search for the hottest new singers. The show is actually what brought us the lovely Leona Lewis.

Simon Cowell is reportedly planning to have performances from Sir Paul McCartney and George Michael in The X Factor final.

The 50-year-old music boss is also in talks with British band Coldplay about making an appearance on the upcoming final to complete the star-studded line-up.

It is claimed that he wants to make the final the biggest show yet and wants it to receive the highest-ever ratings.

Viewing figures in the current series have reached a high of 17million and Simon believes up to 20million could tune in if he signs up the three big acts.

Fellow judge Dannii Minogue, 38, is said to be keen for her act, Stacey Solomon, to perform a duet with band Coldplay in the final.

Singer Cheryl Cole doesn’t like seeing herself on TV.

The Girls Aloud star reportedly has said that she cringes when she sees herself on TV.

The 26-year-old hates seeing herself on talent competition The X Factor, reports British newspaper The Sun.

The X Factor judge said: “I don’t watch it, I cringe when I come on. I Sky+ it and fast-forward the bits when I’m talking.

“You know when you see yourself talk? It’s not natural watching your facial expressions. I don’t like that.”

Despite this she added: “I can watch myself perform on stage.”

Cheryl’s new single Fight For This Love has recently been unveiled.

Singer Cheryl Cole is set to bring out a new clothing line.

The 26-year-old Girls Aloud star is going to release her own fashion label selling clothing and accessories.

A source told British newspaper The London Evening Standard: “With her new hair and edgier clothes choices, Cheryl has told work colleagues that she wants to capitalise on her ‘best dressed’ status and is exploring the possibilities of launching her own fashion label next year.”

The X Factor judge is keen to bring out a casual wear range as well as a handbag collection.

The source added: “Cheryl wants to pounce while she’s on top. She spent a great deal of time in LA and thinks her style can translate wonderfully across continents. But everything is in the early stages. Cheryl loves fashion.”

Earlier this year, Cheryl reportedly said that 35-year-old singer Victoria Beckham’s clothing line was not something Girls Aloud would wear as it was for “older women”.

The reality competitive television atmosphere has proven that it can take its toll on your sanity when Britain’s Got Talent star Susan Boyle spent more days in the hospital recovering from fame than she did on the tour. With this new understanding that fame isn’t for everyone, the producers over at X Factor have decided to give qualifying contestants psychological tests to ensure that they can handle the stress. There will also be counsellors on standby to help contestants as the competition progresses. It’s a great idea. I’m only mildly disappointed that there will be a lacking in craziness this year.

Robbie Williams is working hard on his epic comeback and the singer has recently agreed to be on the British hit talent show X Factor. The most obvious reason for his appearance will be a performance of a new song off of his upcoming album which is due out in a few months. However, everyone is still staying pretty quiet as to what exactly Robbie will do on the show and when. Either way, it will be a huge amount of exposure for the guy who’s been bumming around for a couple of years in his lame attempt to break into the US music scene.

The X-Factor judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue made a fashion faux pas after turning up to auditions in the same pair of shoes.

The singers arrived in Glasgow wearing matching YSL Tribute pumps, according to reports.

The shoes, which cost £490, sport six-inch heels and are worn by stars like Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Lopez.

Fellow judge Simon Cowell has previously compared the duo to peacocks.

Talking about his decision to hold all the auditions in front of a live audience, he said: “The girls, I think, are going to love it because they are like peacocks those two – they want to be on show.”

The last series was shrouded in rumours of a rift between the girls, with claims that Minogue felt Cole was getting more screen time.

The singer is apparently plannig a change in style so as to not be taken by surprise by her X Factor judging coleague, Danii Minogue. A source said the following about Cheryl Cole’s fashion plans: “Cheryl was taken aback when she first saw Dannii’s new look. She knew that she’d had a new haircut but she was shocked when she saw her complete style makeover. It’s a total departure for her – and she looks great. Cheryl wants something a bit sharper now. She’s telling people she wants to ‘de-Barbie’ herself.” Cheryl Cole has a barbie-like style and she wants to get rid of if? What’s she going to do anyway, go goth? That would definitely be a sight… let’s just hope we don’t get to see it.
