Will.i.am posted a picture on his Twitter page yesterday posing with Cheryl Cole.

She looked tanned wearing a strapless white dress, with her hair still looking blonde.

The Mirror reports that Cheryl and Will.i.am have been invited to P. Diddy’s Ibiza party this weekend.

The BLACK EYED PEAS star has just taken on a co-managing role to make her a success across the Pond.

I just hope he has more enthusiasm for her career than for interviews to help him sell tickets for his gigs.

I met up with the jetlagged band – Will, FERGIE, TABOO and APL.DE.AP – in London last week. They were all raving about Cheryl, who supported them on their last European tour, between stifled yawns.

Will said: “It’s going great with her. She’s got a bright future ahead – no question.”

Taboo, who is a lovely bloke, added: “She’s beautiful – not only on the outside but on the inside. She has a great personality and I think she connects well with people. She is a great artist and she’s part of the family.”

And Fergie, wearing shades indoors, added: “She’s also very smart and not afraid to speak her mind. People want to hear the truth so she will do well.”

CHERYL Cole has replaced her long-term manager with Black Eyed Peas megastar Will.i.am, we can reveal.

The Geordie superstar wants him to mastermind her American career.

Wor Cheryl made the decision to part company with Hilary Shaw and move to the rapper to make sure her US launch is a huge hit.

She’ll also have the support of his close business associate Seth Friedman. Despite being a global sensation himself, Will.i.am is conducting meetings with Fox TV about her breakthrough role as a judge on American X Factor.

Last night a US insider revealed: “This is all about taking Cheryl’s career to a whole new level. Will.i.am believes in her to the degree where he’s prepared to stake his reputation on making her a success. He’s going to be responsible for her career worldwide.

The love-in between Will.i.am and Cheryl Cole has reached new heights — or, depending on your point of view, depths — with the Black Eyed Peas mainman claiming that the Geordie singer and talent show judge would have duetted with Michael Jackson if he hadn’t died.

The Sun reports that Will.i.am did his best to convince the late ‘King Of Pop’ of Cheryl Cole’s talents. He said: “I told him Cheryl was the hottest thing in the UK and could sing and dance — basically, she was the complete package. He would have worked with her, no doubt, and it would have been something special.”

He continued: “They are both total perfectionists when it comes to their work so it would have been something really big. It’s just a shame it can never happen now.”

Quite so. Yet despite this major setback, Will.i.am reckons that plenty of other big names are just itching to get into the studio with the pop princess.

“There are still lots of great artists waiting to work with Cheryl when she gets over to the US — the Peas, Justin Bieber and Usher,” he said.

SHE’S had the year from hell, so if any girl’s aloud a laugh it’s Cheryl Cole – and one man is determined to make sure she has a good time.

Her rapper pal Will.i.am is throwing a glitzy party in Los Angeles in Cheryl’s honour.

The Black Eyed Peas frontman wants to make sure 27-year-old Cheryl celebrates her successes this year – despite it also being her toughest 12 months yet.

The Geordie lass has been through a heart-breaking divorce from Chelsea player Ashley Cole, survived a bout of malaria and is exhausted after taking part in the most controversial X Factor so far.

But her second solo album, Messy Little Raindrops, has topped the charts, as has her most recent single, Promise This. So she deserves to pop a few champagne corks at the star-studded shindig hosted by her number one fan, Will.i.am.

He also wants to make sure Chezza meets the big players of the US music industry before she launches her singing career Stateside in 2011. My insider tells me: “Cheryl just wants to celebrate after the tough year she’s had. And this bash will be mad, crazy, with music pumping and 200 semi-naked dancers to entertain her and make her forget all her worries of 2010.

“Who better to cut loose with than the people closest to her? She trusts Will.i.am completely and feels so relaxed in his company.

“He is so proud of her and wants to make sure she is in the right circles when she is in LA. He is having the party in her honour.”

Cheryl will be in America to recharge her batteries over the festive season. Hopefully the break will help her put her troubles behind her and start 2011 afresh.

Although I reckon she’ll have a different kind of hangover to contend with after the party Will is planning. He’s invited bandmate Fergie, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Sam Ronson, and Taio Cruz as well as industry chiefs. And he hasn’t exactly stinted on the booze.

I’m told: “Bottles of Armand de Brignac champers are being flown in, with a one-off pink one in a box with ‘Congratulations Cheryl’ engraved on it.

“Waiters will serve Belvedere cocktails created by a mixologist. And guests will feast on mini burgers and mini fish and chips.”

That’s just in case they forget Chezza’s from Blighty, of course.

It sounds like WILL.I.AM is ready to help CHERYL COLE launch her US music career.

He revealed at last weekend’s American Music Awards: “Cheryl’s going to be great in the US. I’m looking forward to her coming over. It don’t matter that she’s British – she could be Chinese, Mexican, Cantonese or whatever… she’s got great songs and looks fantastic, so that’s all that matters. She’s going to be a massive success. I’m here to look after her so she’s going to be fine.”

Somebody sounds protective.

Cheryl has previously worked with the Black Eyed Peas star on his previous single, Heartbreaker, as well as recruiting the rapper for her first solo LP, 3 Words.

While we still wait for news on Cheryl’s rumoured Will.I.Am and Minaj collaboration to be confirmed, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has also claimed that Chez has covered an old Britney Spears song on her second solo album.

The tracklisting for Cole’s new LP, Messy Little Raindrops, featured the track Amnesia, which Hilton claims was featured as a bonus track on Britney’s UK version of her album, Circus.

Cheryl, who plans to release her sophomore album on 1st November, has also worked with the likes of Dizzee Rascal and Travie McCoy on the LP.

Cheryl and Will talk about the process and how hard it is. Cheryl also defends her reasons for chosing Cher as one of her live show acts.

Cheryl Cole will “never” leave Britain to live in the US, according to her close friend Will.i.am.

The Black Eyed Peas star admits Cheryl still hasn’t fully recovered after her battle with malaria, despite bravely returning to work.

Will.i.am, 35, is helping the 27-yearold put her X Factor contestants through their paces at the judges’ house stage of the competition.

Cheryl has regularly spent time in the States and is considering spending more time there as her career goes from strength to strength.

But close friend Will.i.am insists she is a home girl who will never turn her back on the UK.

He added: “Despite the levels of success and fame she has reached, she is a real home girl, and from the conversations I have had Jwith her I never see her leaving the UK full-time.

“Yes she will be in LA more when the US X Factor starts and she might even buy a base there, but I don’t see anybody or anything that will make her decide the US is home.”

Cheryl is said to have signed a £1.5million deal to co-host the US version of the hit show next year.

She has spent weeks in LA working on her music and spending time with her close friend Derek Hough as she recovers from malaria. She was even there as her divorce from Chelsea star Ashley Cole was finalised two weeks ago.

Will.i.am also revealed Cowell secretly views Cheryl as the “real star” of the show. He said: “I still don’t think she is 100% and she needs to make sure she takes it easy.

“Simon has been very cool, he cares a lot about her and is making sure that she is not trying to overdo things.

“Cheryl is a total perfectionist, though, she is very serious and passionate about her work, and wants to win the X Factor again.

“Simon views her as his strongest competition because she does seem to be able to bring the very best out of her contestants.”
