Cheryl Cole

It’s almost here - Cheryl Cole’s new autobiography. I have waited ages for this. It’s out tomorrow and you can bet that I’ll get a copy asap and read it from cover to cover!!!!

Cheryl Cole – love her or hate her she is arguably one of the most recognised British celebrities today. From humble roots, she has worked her way up using the best of what she has, often more determination and hard work than genuine musical talent, to get where she is today. She has carefully chosen a career path making good well-timed decisions to maximise her fame and celebrity status therefore bringing her lots of success. Besides this, the strength of her character which is evident from the dignified manner in which she handled her turbulent relationship with Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole has made her a respected smart and independent modern celebrity icon to young women today.

For these reasons I am a fan of Cheryl Cole. I have been a fan of hers for some years now since her divorce to footballer Ashley Cole, the deterioration of her physical health when she caught malaria after a trip abroad and then her subsequent hiring and firing as a judge on X Factor USA. It seemed as if this woman had gone through so many highs and lows in her life but has always dealt with things with such dignity, inner strength, composure and humility. She has a strength that is so often not evident in many of our celebrity ‘idols.’ Also she comes across as quite a normal woman who has a feisty yet simultaneously warm natural personality which is so refreshing on TV. After being bombarded with egos and eccentric often annoying personalities on TV shows, Cheryl was refreshing and likeable and not to mention stunningly beautiful. She was not beautiful in an intimidatingly hateful way that some girls would feel about attractive women but Cheryl possesses a beauty that young girls can respect and admire and take inspiration from. Her beauty gives her confidence and not an ego.

Although often her outfit choices gained much disapproval in the media, it is undeniable that Cheryl Cole is a trendsetter.  I am not immune to this. I remember a few years back I saw a photograph of Cheryl Cole wearing a pair of green trousers. I immediately went out to get some. I just thought it looked quite cool and different. I still do love those green trousers.

I have been reading the little extracts of her new book that the press have serialised and am now so eager to get my hands on the book and learn so much more about this interesting woman who most people have an opinion on. Whether good or bad, people have an opinion on her and this book may give people who are interested more of an insight into the woman behind the high profile celebrity face.
