Cheryl Cole has reportedly turned to religion after a traumatic year

The 27-year-old singer is looking for spiritual enlightenment after suffering a tumultuous 2010 which saw her divorce her husband Ashley Cole after he cheated on her and overcome malaria and is investigating different faiths.

A source said: “Cheryl has awakened her spiritual side. She has been tapping into higher powers for answers and guidance. She’s been doing some deep thinking – especially after malaria. Christianity is closest to her, but she’s open to other religious influences.”

Cheryl’s mother Joan Callaghan is a regular churchgoer while the star’s close friend, Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am, is deeply religious after being raised a Baptist in California.

The Girls Aloud star could also be seeking spiritual enlightenment from her rumoured love interest Derek Hough, who is a practising Mormon.

The ‘Parachute’ singer was spotted wearing a Hindu charm to the rehearsals of UK pop star search show ‘The X Factor’, on which she is a judge with Simon Cowell, last weekend.

Cheryl Cole has reportedly been asked by will.i.am to fly to Los Angles for a “secret date”.

The Black Eyed Peas star has given the ‘Parachute’ singer a shoulder to cry on since she split from her soccer player husband Ashley Cole over his alleged infidelities, and he now wants her to spend Easter weekend with him and his family.

A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “He has asked Cheryl to fly out to Los Angeles for a secret date with him over Easter. He’s having a big family get-together and he wants her to be there.”

The 35-year-old pop star has worked with Cheryl, 26, on many occasions, first duetting with her on his 2008 single ‘Heartbreaker’.

He then went on to co-write and produce most of her debut solo album ‘3 Words’, which was released last year.

Cheryl has previously praised will.i.am for being a great artist and a good friend.

She said: “I would work with Will for the rest of my career if I could. He’s absolutely inspiring, fantastic, futuristic, creative, he’s everything that you would want from a producer and also from a person.”

Besides their working relationship, friends of Cheryl say there is a spark between the pair.

A source added: “He wants to look after her and treat her. He’s a really romantic guy who wants to take her out for dinner and cook for her.

“They’ve got loads in common, they’re from similar backgrounds and have similar family values.”

However, Cheryl is said to be keen on taking her relations with the star slowly.

The source added: “As much as Cheryl loves his support she is going into this with her eyes wide open. It will be a very slow process but there is definitely something there.”

Earlier this month, it was claimed Cheryl and Ashley often argued about the Girls Aloud star’s friendship with will.i.am.

Referring to comments made by the ‘Meet Me Halfway’ hitmaker who said he would move to Britain “if it meant being with her”, a source revealed: “will.i.am’s comments about his wife are not news or a surprise to Ashley. He and Cheryl rowed about it last year.

“She’s done absolutely nothing wrong but Ashley’s sick of this man openly making advances toward her.”

Cheryl Cole threw her husband out of their house after only 20 minutes on Friday (12.03.10)

Soccer star Ashley Cole had flown to the UK for the first meeting with his pop star wife after he is alleged to have cheated on her with a string of women – but she reportedly refused to speak to him or even let him in the same room as her while he collected his belongings before her mother, Joan, told him to leave.
Ashley had previously been in the South of France where he was recovering from a broken ankle in a bid to get fit in time to play for England in this year’s World Cup tournament. He landed back in the UK on Friday – flying back in his club’s owner’s private jet – before going directly to the house, giving Cheryl little notice of his intention to see her.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “Cheryl was furious that he just turned up and was even more angry when he thought they would be able to talk.
“She’s going to talk to him on her terms when she wants to. She was livid that he turned up at the house with hardly any warning.”
Ashley then spent the night at the house of a friend who lives near to the grounds of his London team, Chelsea. Officials at the club are said to be worried about the player’s wellbeing.
A source said: “He was visibly upset, and we were shocked at his appearance. He’s a complete state and in a bad way. He was dishevelled, which is unusual for him. It was as if he didn’t care about how he looks any more.
“He also looked very gaunt. It was obvious he’s lost a lot of weight and hasn’t been looking after himself.”
Earlier this week, Ashley had reportedly been confident of a reconciliation, and told friends about how he and Cheryl would get back together.
A source said: “Ashley’s been very cocky about the whole situation– bragging they’ll be back together soon. Ashley says he thinks there will be a proper separation for three to six months and hopefully that will be long enough for Cheryl to get things clear in her head.
“Then he hopes the pair will be able to mend their marriage. As far as Ashley’s concerned this will not end in divorce.”
Meanwhile ‘Parachute’ singer Cheryl cancelled all her publicity engagements this week, including TV and radio appearances after being taken ill with Bronchitis.

The ‘Parachute’ singer – who has had a turbulent few weeks after dumping husband Ashley Cole following revelations he cheated on her with several women – has been forced to cancel two public appearances as she battles the lung infection.

Cheryl was due to film an interview on British talk show ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross’ last night (11.03.10), to be aired tonight (12.03.10), and was scheduled to perform live on UK station Radio One today.

The 26-year-old pop star is apparently so unwell she can’t even leave her house.

A source said: “Cheryl has been a trouper up until now but the pressure has finally got to her. She is very sick and feeling very, very low. The bronchitis has knocked her off her feet.”

Last night, her spokesperson confirmed Cheryl had been forced to withdraw from her pre-arranged appearances.

The spokesperson said: “Cheryl has had to postpone all promotion until she is better.”

Cheryl’s estranged spouse Ashley is apparently desperate to fly over from France – where he is currently being treated for a broken ankle – so he can meet up with the ‘Fight for This Love’ singer.

The England soccer player is due to be checked over by medics later today, and has a car on standby to take him to the airport as soon as he gets the all-clear.

A fellow patient at the sports injury clinic said: “There is a car on standby and a plane waiting to go. It is like a military operation.

“He’s had a long time to think about what he wants to say to his wife. Now he just wants to get on with it.

“I don’t know what he’ll do if doctors say he needs to stay. He’ll probably sneak off to the roof and be whisked away by helicopter”.

Cheryl Cole is planning to move out of her marital home.

The ‘Parachute’ singer wants to quit the house she shared with estranged husband Ashley Cole in Surrey, South East England – who is alleged to have cheated on her with a string of other women – as soon as possible because it holds too many painful memories.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Cheryl does not want the separation to be a long, drawn-out affair. She wants to find somewhere quickly so she can regain stability and become settled once more.

“If she can’t find somewhere she likes she’ll consider rented accommodation in the short term.”

The news will come as a further blow to soccer star Ashley, 29, who is presently in France receiving treatment for a broken ankle, which has stopped him returning to the UK for crisis talks about his marriage.

Ashley was due to fly home yesterday (09.03.10) but is said to have chosen to stay on at the clinic longer in an attempt to get fit to play for England in the World Cup in South Africa this summer.

A source at the CERS clinic in South West France told the Daily Star newspaper: “He has faced a dreadful dilemma. You could almost say he put England before Cheryl.”
