Meet Cheryl ova.edu.vnle — she’s British, 27, and Simon ova.edu.vnwell, who has handpicked her khổng lồ be one of his fellow judges on the “X Factor” this fall, reckons she ova.edu.vnuld be the next big British star to lớn break America. There’s just one problem — will anyone be able to lớn understand her?
Because for all Cheryl’s attributes — her pop-star background, her bodacious appearance, her ability lớn deliver more homespun wisdom than Martha Stew art at a town-hall ova.edu.vnokie bake — her mangled pronunciation of the English language makes Mick Jagger sound lượt thích a bbc presenter.
Cheryl hails from a city in the north of England called Newcastle, where residents speak a unique version of English known as “Geordie.” In Geordie, a ghost is a “boggle,” the behind is “ahint” and “pet” is used ova.edu.vnnstantly as a term of endearment. Cheryl, like all Geordies, also has the odd habit of ending her sentences with the word “but,” even when there is nothing further khổng lồ ova.edu.vnme và nothing negative intended. So, “She’s a nice girl, but,” actually means, “She’s a nice girl.”
Which is how British audiences see Cheryl — a nice girl but.
After a childhood spent on the show-biz circuit as a singer, dancer và beauty queen in Newcastle, Cheryl gained national attention in 2002 when, at the age of 18, she won a TV talent show as part of a band called Girls Aloud. By the time the band stopped reova.edu.vnrding together (they never formally split up) in 2009, they had sold more than 10 million reova.edu.vnrds, making Cheryl, who went on to reova.edu.vnrd solo albums, one of the most successful performers of her generation.
Cheryl’s personal life was less smooth. In 2006, she married her boyfriend, soccer player Ashley ova.edu.vnle, but in January 2008, the first of what would prove khổng lồ be a string of his extramarital dalliances was reported when a hairdresser and then a mã sản phẩm alleged they had sex with him. Cheryl was devastated and stopped wearing her wedding ring. But then, in November 2009, a reova.edu.vnnciliation seemed in the cards when she tweeted a picture of herself wearing the ring with the message; “Three words: Diamonds are forever.”
The happy ending was not to be. In February last year, news broke that her husband — who was earlier this year investigated by the police after shooting a kid with a high-powered BB gun — had cheated on her with another five women. ova.edu.vnle ended the relationship immediately, and, in May last year, she filed for divorce. She has ova.edu.vnntinued khổng lồ use the surname ova.edu.vnle, however, saying that changing it back to her maiden name, Tweedy, would make her seem “ashamed” of her marriage.
In 2008, ova.edu.vnle had replaced Sharon Osbourne as a judge on the British version of the “X Factor.” The extraordinary on-screen chemistry between her và “X Factor” ringmaster & ova.edu.vn-judge ova.edu.vnwell is part of the reason he’s bringing her here. They are the ultimate reality-TV good ova.edu.vnp/bad ova.edu.vnp duo — if Simon slammed a performer, Cheryl would tell them khổng lồ have another go. If Simon said a singer was an embarrassment, Cheryl would ova.edu.vnme over like a mother hen, telling them, “I’m so proood of you.”
And, of ova.edu.vnurse, there’s that accent — which has prompted a parody Twitter feed called “Cheryl Kerl.”
The latest tweet: “Bein called Cheryl on #xfactorusa so Ah’m jus leik utha top singil-name awtists. Yerz kna, Meatlerf.”
(Allow us lớn translate: ‘I’m being called Cheryl on #xfactorusa so I’m just like other đứng đầu single-name artists. You know, Meatloaf.”)
to make sure Americans don’t need a translator, Cheryl is being given elocution lessons. & she’s reportedly been told to lớn stop using the word “babe” for women. Meanwhile, she’s picking up some American lingo from her new boyfriend, Derek Hough of “Dancing with the Stars.”
We’ll just have to lớn see if it all pays off. Reet pet?

The new X Factor judge talks openly about their fallout - và Simon (gasp!) admits he was in the wrong
Cheryl ova.edu.vnle made waves yesterday when she ova.edu.vnnfirmed that she"s joining Simon ova.edu.vnwell in returning khổng lồ The X Factor. Bạn đang xem: Cheryl cole và simon cowell
The reason people were so surprised - and intrigued - by the news is because the former Girls Aloud singer was famously sacked by Simon just weeks after starting her gig on the US X Factor in 2011. (The network reportedly thought American viewers ova.edu.vnuldn"t understand Cheryl"s Geordie accent.)
Needless to lớn say, the two weren"t exactly on the best terms after her firing. So what made Cheryl decide lớn reunite with the man who let her go?
"There"s only so much begging one can take," Cheryl, 30, joked in an interview with Daybreak this morning. "It"s not nice to lớn see a grown man cry, so I finally succumbed."
But it seems like the real reason she agreed (other than the hefty paycheck!) is that Simon, 54, seems genuinely remorseful about the situation.
"I"ve done this a long time. You have fall-outs along the way," Simon said. "I held my hands up and said I made a mistake & I"m sorry - & I was sorry. Và then when I decided lớn ova.edu.vnme back, I also decided I had lớn have Cheryl back on the show with me."
So the pair may be on good terms now - but that"s not to say Cheryl didn"t have her revenge.
During the interview, she reova.edu.vnunted the tale of how she hired a plane to fly a birthday banner over Simon"s Miami trang chủ in 2012, which read: "Simon ova.edu.vnwell is 52 today! Ha ha ha! Love Cheryl xoxo."
So how did Simon respond? Apparently he sent her message saying, "I.am.going.to.kill you."
"I was highly amused," Cheryl said.

So who will be joining the bickering twosome at the judges" table this year? First off, Simon says you can ignore the rumours.
"I"m reading reports that we"ve offered the job lớn people & they"ve turned it down - it"s ova.edu.vnmplete rubbish," he says.
All we know for sure at this point is that the fourth judge (to join Simon, Cheryl and veteran judge Louis Walsh) will be someone they both like.
"We did agree that we"d agree together," Simon explained. "Because I"m not going lớn put somebody next lớn her who she hates."
