Cheryl Cole puts X Factor USA disappointment behind her as she lands first Hollywood movie role
She suffered the indignity of seeing her dreams of American stardom on the US edition of the X Factor dashed after just four days work. However, now the Daily Mail has learned Cheryl Cole is to take her revenge on former friend Simon Cowell - by appearing in a Hollywood film. The star - who was surprisingly axed from the new Cowell series at the end of May - is to make her film debut in a new big-budget film.
Mrs Cole, 28, will appear alongside Hollywood superstars Cameron Diaz, 38, and Jennifer Lopez, 42, in forthcoming film What To Expect When You’re Expecting. The film, which is an adaptation of the successful pregnancy guide, is being made by Lionsgate and is due for release next May. It began shooting in mid-May. And Mrs Cole – who is in ‘advanced talks’ to appear – will shoot her scenes in the US later this month.
In what will be seen as a clear side-swipe at Cowell, Mrs Cole will play a TV talent show judge for her cameo role in the film. The film –whose cast also includes actors Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock and Matthew Morrison - chronicles the lives of four couples as they prepare to become parents. Miss Diaz plays Jules who auditions in an X Factor-style contest in front of the TV talent show judge which is Mrs Cole’s character. Mrs Cole is said to have initially impressed Hollywood film bosses during a four-day appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
In recent weeks, the pop star has been in Los Angeles enjoying some extended time off – following her early axing from Cowell’s US show.
The role also represents a coup for Mrs Cole’s new manager, Will.i.am – real name William Adams - from US pop band Black Eyed Peas. Mrs Cole parted company with erstwhile manager Hilary Shaw in April after six years together. She replaced Miss Shaw with Will.i.am and his associate Seth Friedman who were tasked with overseeing her US launch. However, within weeks, those initial plans were left in tatters after her X Factor USA axing.
This film deal will now allow Mrs Cole to receive all-important exposure in the US. |
