Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole has started work on her new album while holidaying in LA.

After being forced to recover at her Surrey mansion from a bout of malaria, Chezza is now enjoying a well-earned break in the sunshine state of California.

Whilst officially being on holiday with her friend, dancer Derek Hough – Cheryl decided to seize the opportunity and started work on some brand new material while enjoying the sunshine.

A source reportedly told a well-known British tabloid: “Cheryl couldn’t sit around any longer. She feels 100 times better and wants to get some normality back.”

“She was going crazy sitting around at home. She wants a change of scenery so has decided to go to Los Angeles and get back into the studio.”

“But it’s still nowhere near the work schedule she had before she fell ill.”

 Hold the front page people.  Robbie Williams and Take That have finally confirmed that they are back together to record and release a new album.  It is the first time all five members have worked together since Williams quit 15 years ago.  All five singers have written the songs for the record, due out in November.

Robbie said he was “embarrassingly excited” and reuniting with his former group felt like “coming home” while bandmate Mark Owen added that it “feels like a dream”.

Owen said: “Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality. Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It’s been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again. But I’m still a better footballer.”

Jason Orange said it was “absolutely brilliant,” adding, “I’m over the moon that Robbie’s back with us, however long it lasts. I just want to enjoy our time with him. Life is beautifully strange sometimes.”

The reunion took place in New York last September, following Take That’s The Circus Live tour.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I was a huuuuuuge TT fan when I were a young lad and it was their fault that I spent the best part of my twenties trying to emulate them.  Instead of getting a stable career to build a future on I auditioned and became part of three different pop bands in a vain attempt to hit the dizzy heights of pop stardom.  If I could have another crack at it, even at the age of 34 I would jump at the chance so Robbie’s excitement comes as no surprise to me.

Good on you lads.  It’s been a long time coming but I’m glad you finally made.

Mmmm….sounds like the beginning of a song that, maybe it’s not too late.
