Cheryl Cole

Yes, it's sad but true:

As reported in detail on The Hollywood Gossip, Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne have broken up.

According to a VERY reliable source, Liam Payne is all set to go in one direction...

... while long-time girlfriend Cheryl Cole goes in another.

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole have made it official:

They had a bear of a time coming up with a name for their brand new baby.

First comes love? Then comes marriage? Then comes a baby in a baby carriage?

Try telling that to Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole.

There's officially a new member of the One Direction Dads' Club!

Liam Payne took to Instagram moments ago to confirm that he and girlfriend Cheryl Cole have welcomed a baby boy.

Let there be no more debate.

Let there be no more discussion and no more questions over the status of Cheryl Cole's womb.

When we first learned that Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole were dating, few believed that the couple would last.

After all, Cheryl is ten years Liam's senior, and their relationship seemed like a classic rebound fling.

Cheryl Cole may be pregnant with Liam Payne's baby.

We emphasize that she may be. We cannot confirm for certain that the singer is carrying the child of her fellow attractive singer.

Justin Bieber may be a long way from settling down in his own love life, but it certainly seems that he's looking forward to seeing some of his popstar buddies take the plunge.

Cheryl Cole may not be a household name on this side of the pond, but in her native UK, the former girl group member is as well known for her tumultuous love life as for her music.

Now it seems she may be reliving her pop star glory days by hitching her wagon to Liam Payne's star:

Last week, the hopes and dreams of women everywhere were crushed when it was confirmed Eva Mendes is having Ryan Gosling's baby.

Now, men around the world can share in a similar type of unexpected mourning... because Cheryl Cole is officially off the market.

Kanye West might be gay, But Cheryl Cole has at least given Kim Kardashian a reason to think positively this week.

The British singer is the latest celebrity to speak out in defense of the pregnant reality star, who continues to receive criticism of her expanding figure.

British pop star / X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and Dancing With the Stars professional Derek Hough have reconciled their relationship, according to reports.

He allegedly dumped her last spring (or got dumped by her, depending on what you read), but apparently neither can resist each other ... or Coldplay.

Cheryl Cole and Taio Cruz are making some beautiful music together ... sorta. Well, no, they definitely are, but only maybe in the way we're making it sound.

The pair, who have been collaborating on music together and are also rumored to be seeing each other, are attending a New Year's Eve party in L.A. 

In a matter of weeks, Cheryl Cole has gone from the X-Factor judge we were most excited to see... to someone without a job.

Earlier this month, Simon Cowell tried to explain what happened with the British pop star - who was removed from his show's judging panel after just a couple days of auditions - and now Cole herself has spoken out for the first time about the flap.

Simon Cowell says Cheryl Cole is "one of [his] closest friends."

This may come as a surprise, considering the pop singer was just let go from her judging gig on The X-Factor, but Cowell says the move was made with Cole's well-being in mind.

We know Cheryl Cole is ridiculously gorgeous. But that's about all we can say for certain right now about the British pop singer.

Over the past few weeks, Cole has been hired as a judge for the U.S. version of The X-Factor, then promptly let go after just a few days of audition and now... well, it's all a bit unclear.

Cheryl Cole is definitely out as a judge on the upcoming U.S. version of The X-Factor. But can the same now be said about the show's British counterpart?

According to The Daily Mail, producers offered the singer "an olive branch" and asked her to remain on the series that really made her famous. But Cole has refused all efforts.

Long before it airs a single episode, there's already been a shake-up on The X-Factor.

Cheryl Cole, the most popular panelist on the British version of Simon Cowell's singing competition, has been replaced as judge by Nicole Scherzinger, who had been slated to host the show with Steve Jones.

A pair of hotties, one from each gender, are now back on the market.

Sources confirm that Cheryl Cole and Derek Hough, who started dating in early 2010 after the former split with her husband, have called it quits.

This fall, male The X-Factor fans may tune in for the voices - but they'll likely stay for the looks.

Of Cheryl Cole and Nicole Scherzinger, that is.

It looks like Simon Cowell has fulfilled his dream judging panel for The X-Factor.

With producer L.A. Reid already on board, Deadline Hollywood reports that Paula Abdul and Cheryl Cole are nearing deals to finalize their roles on the upcoming singing competition.

L.A. Reid was the first judge confirmed for the U.S. version of X Factor this year. Now HE confirms that long-rumored judge Cheryl Cole will be there with him.

The top music producer is also confident that between himself, Cheryl and creator Simon Cowell, the show will do just fine against its reality TV competition.
