Cheryl goes to Hollywood

Cameo ... Cheryl Cole

 

 

 

CHERYL Cole has landed her first movie role — playing a TV talent show judge.

The Girls Aloud star will put the humiliation of being axed from X Factor U.S. behind her with a cameo appearance in a star-studded comedy drama.
Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz and Anna Kendrick star in What To Expect When You're Expecting, which began filming in May.
The movie, based on a best-selling pregnancy guide, follows four couples as they prepare for the birth of their first child and also features Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and Glee star Matthew Morrison.
Cheryl was said to have impressed movie bosses during a four-day appearance at the Cannes film festival in May.
Her visit to the South of France came just days before she began filming the American version of Simon Cowell's hit show.
However, studio bosses sacked her during the first week of auditions. She was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger.
Cheryl has been spending an increasing amount of time in LA in recent years, in an attempt to make her mark on the States.
And she replaced her former manager Hilary Shaw with Will.i.am and business partner Seth Friedman to help her raise her profile there.

Co-star ... Jennifer Lopez

 

 

 

Cheryl shot to fame in 2002 as a contestant on Pop Stars: The Rivals.
After a successful pop career with Girls Aloud, she became a household name as an X Factor judge after joining the show's panel in 2009.
But her life fell apart in 2010 when she split from husband Ashley Cole over his string of affairs and suffered a life-threatening bout of malaria.
Now all that time in LA seems to be paying off.
What To Expect When You're Expecting is due to be released in May and Cheryl will shoot her scenes later this month.
