Cheryl Cole’s divorce from Ashley Cole could be swift and painless, observers say.
The UK Mirror claimed the Geordie pop star could be permanently free of football star Ashley in time for the World Cup in June.
A top family lawyer, Julian Hawkhead, said: “The impression is they are both keen to get on with it. They are both commercially minded people with strong commercial people in the background advising them.”
Cole has so far confirmed a separation of her three-and-a-half year marriage only, however, in the wake of a sex-texting scandal involving Ashley.
The newspaper reported Hawkhead said a potential divorce would be “relatively painless”.
“A case where it’s young people and no children and both with lots of money, it should be an easy divorce,” he said.
The partner at Stowe Family Law, in North Yorkshire, said the pair may have begun negotiating a settlement in private and could divorce within three to four months.
He said the Coles’ assets, including their £6million ($9.3million) Surrey mansion, could be divided. “I think Ashley probably earns a bit more than Cheryl so she might want a share of his earnings but she has good earnings in her own right. I think she’ll just want to get on with her life.”
And she very well should be, even though not more than a few days ago she was bragging about how Simon Cowell always listens to her, but apparently that was just a façade for the Earl of Exigency’s true nature. This is what Leona Lewis said on the matter: “He didn’t come to the studio but I’d play him songs down the phone. It’s scary and you think, ‘Please like it!’ We’ve formed more of a bond and we can be honest with each other.” Simon Cowell truly is the maker and breaker of great stars and Leona Lewis does well to remember that. After all, with just the point of a finger he might bump her back to trying out for The X Factor.
Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto has landed a role in new movie Dawn of War.
The 25-year-old beauty is also working on Woody Allen’s flick You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.
It is now claimed she will play the role of Phaedra opposite The Tudors star Henry Cavill in Dawn of War by Tarsem Singh Dhandwar. Bosses are reportedly considering releasing the film in 3D.
The actress, who shot to fame when she played Latika in Danny Boyle’s hit movie, is a busy lady – she is also currently working on the movie Miral.
Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has praised Pinto’s success in international films.
He has urged the Government of India and other Indian film organisations to start world training academies for different parts of Indian cinema.
Sharon Osbourne has been praised by PETA for urging people not to buy real fur.
The 57-year-old recently told of her disgust by posting a message on Twitter.
She wrote: “Louis Vuitton foxtail handbag accessories make me sick. Please do not purchase those! It’s heinous.”
The star has been praised by Peta for her comments.
They said: “We’re not the only ones loving Sharon Osbourne’s compassionate tweet against Louis Vuitton – her wise words have been re-tweeted again and again by people across the internet.”
Octomom Nadya Suleman has refused to rule out having another child.
The Californian spoke about already having 14 kids when she appeared on The View TV show.
Suleman attracted attention last year when she gave birth to octuplets, just the second set born alive in the US.
Asked on the show if she was ‘done having children’, Suleman initially replied: “Yes, oh yes, yes, yes, absolutely.”
But when pressed she appeared to leave the door open for a further pregnancy.
“But maybe some day in the future when my children are older and if I meet somebody, I am not going to say 100 per cent, no I am not going to get married and want to have a child.”
Kris Jenner has spoken about her daughter Kourtney’s babydaddy Scott and said she just wants someone who is ‘dedicated’ to her and grandson Mason.
Jenner was talking after the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where viewers saw Kourtney give birth to her son Mason in December.
Jenner has made no secret of her feelings for Mason’s dad Scott and said: “I want someone who’s dedicated to Kourtney and the baby, who has something to get up for every day – not just get up and go and get a tan in the backyard.”
She added: “It’s not just success monetarily. It’s finding something you love to do.
“I’m as hard on [her son] Rob as I am on Scott. I set the bar really high and expect a lot out of my kids.”
Jenner also said: “When you date one of my kids, you date all of us.”
Lauren Graham, 42, has graced the cover of More magazine, a publication for women in their 40s and over.
The Parenthood star and former Gilmore Girl commented on the pressures of being a single woman: “What is so funny to me is I’m in a profession where two per cent of people are working, yet there’s still this implication that you’re not completely successful if you’re single and in your 40s. Well, why not? I wanted a horse when I was growing up too. Does that mean I’m not successful, because I don’t have a horse?”
Graham, who appears in the March issue to hit stands at the weekend, was not putting herself up to false expectations. “You learn to give yourself a break. I want to continue to celebrate where I am and not be apologetic. Whether I’m 43 or 60, I want to say, this is where I want to be in my life, because, hey, this is it. At this point I would probably meet someone who had kids or whatever, and that’s totally interesting to me.”
Alice In Wonderland star Helena Bonham Carter has said she isn’t sure why people think she is posh.
The 43-year-old actress, who is married to filmmaker Tim Burton, insists she isn’t posh, despite being the great-granddaughter of the former prime minister Herbert Asquith.
She said: “Everyone thinks I’m posh but that’s shallow thinking and the biggest lie.
“They only think that because I’ve got three names – but that doesn’t make you posh.”
The actress is playing the role of the Red Queen in her hubby’s new movie, which has its world premiere later this month.
Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has said there is no connection between her on-screen character Samantha and herself.
The 53-year-old actress is preparing for her new stage role in Noel Coward’s Private Lives in London’s West End and said her SATC character will return to screens in the movie sequel later this year.
But she said she isn’t like her character of Samantha. She said to UK newspaper Daily Mail: “I don’t think it’s me. There’s a clear separation. I can’t relate to it in the way other people do.
“People used to ask me to come and speak to women about sex issues and relationships and women running businesses. That’s not what I do – I am none of those things.
“It’s a character! I got an award and joked, ‘This is what I got for sleeping with so many men.’”
