What with The X Factor and Girls Aloud, Cheryl Cole is already celebrity royalty in the UK (we'll forget the Gamu Nhengu/Katie Waissel/Cher Lloyd controversy for a sec!), and her pal Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas reckons she has what it takes to rule the whole world!
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie – who became pals with X Factor goddess Cheryl Cole this summer when she was the opening act on the group’s tour – thinks her pal could soon work with some of the world's biggest movie and music stars.
She said: "She is such a good friend. But I don’t think she has quite got her head around how big she is going to be.
"My girl really can rule the world. I have already heard crazy things like Robert De Niro wants to make movies with her and that Jay-Z wants to work with her."
Fergie even believes Cheryl – who is rumoured to be joining the judging panel on the US X Factor when it launches next year – could reach the levels of stardom attained by pop superstars Madonna and Mariah Carey.
She added to The Daily Mirror: "Within five years we could be talking about Cheryl on the same level as we go Madonna or Mariah Carey."
Fergie has always been a strong supporter of Cheryl's, and pals recently claimed the bisexual star had told bandmate will.i.am – who was romantically linked to the singer after she split from soccer player Ashley Cole – she had more chance of sleeping with her than he had.
A source close to Fergie – who is married to actor Josh Duhamel - said: "Fergie has been telling everyone she's more likely to sleep with Cheryl before will does.
"Everyone has been teasing him about his crush. But when Fergie came out with this, everyone fell about laughing.
"She's mentioned it a few times now. And even Cheryl thinks it's hilarious."
Sounds like Fergie wants a role as princess in Cheryl's royal rule of the planet!
OH FERGIE FERG.... lol seems like will.i.am is not the only one that has a crush on cheryl lol.
