Report: Cheryl and Ashley to have counselling
The Daily Mail has reported that Cheryl Cole has agreed to have counselling sessions with husband Ashley, despite his alleged infidelities.
Last week the distraught singer publicly announced she was separating from her husband of three and a half years. However, she has now reportedly ‘given in’ to Ashley’s pleads for another chance and will go with him to see a marriage counsellor.
Cheryl is said to be feeling partly to blame for the problems in their rocky marriage. Along with Ashley’s suspected four indiscretions with other women, Cheryl reportedly feels she has not been a good enough wife due to her busy career as an X Factor judge and singer, and that all of these factors have lead to the breakdown of their relationship.
In 2008, Cheryl went back to Ashley after it was reported he slept with hairdresser Aimee Walton. Will she really go back to him this time, or is it game over for the Coles?

Lily Allen versus Courtney Love
Lily Allen is no stranger to celebrity feuds, and it seems the outspoken singer is now in a war of words with the one and only Courtney Love.
It was reported in The Mirror the pair clashed after the NME Awards on Wednesday. Courtney was allegedly rattled with Lily for ‘locking down’ some Chanel dresses, meaning she couldn’t wear them herself at the Brit Awards a week earlier, and had Tweeted her annoyance.
At their most recent meeting at the NME Awards, it was reported Courtney and Lily had to be separated after a furious screaming match. However, Lily has since denied these claims on her Twitter page:
“Just clearing a couple of things up. Courtney Love and I did NOT have a bust up at the NME’s.”
She finished up her Twitter rant with cutting words: “I would never fight with her, as a rule I don’t pick on crazy old ladies.”
Ouch! We wonder what Courtney has to say about that? We can’t wait for her reply.

Ashley points finger at Cheryl’s mum
The Daily Mail has reported that Ashley Cole is blaming the breakdown of his marriage on Cheryl’s mum, Joan Callaghan.
Ashley has allegedly claimed their marriage couldn’t “stand a chance” due to the fact his mother-in-law moved into their £6 million Surrey home two years ago. Cheryl was famously close to her mum, and Joan was often seen out and about with the young married couple.
It has also been reported that Ashley, who allegedly cheated on Cheryl several times, begged her not to leave and that he offered to seek treatment for sex addition.
Yesterday Cheryl officially announced she would be separating from her husband of almost four years. Lawyers have said their divorce will be quick and easy.

Cheryl announces split from Ashley
A spokesperson for Cheryl Cole has announced the star will be separating from Ashley, her husband of three and a half years:
“Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time. We have no further comment to make.”
The distraught singer arrived in the UK today after spending time in LA, hiding away from the media circus surrounding Ashley’s alleged infidelities. There had been speculation she would split from the Chelsea defender, but it is now official.
In 2008 Ashley was accused of cheating on Cheryl with a hairdresser, and more of his indiscretions have been revealed over the past few weeks. Rumours of explicit text messages and hotel meetings with several women made the front pages of the tabloid newspapers.
Cheryl, who performed her hit Fight For This Love at the Brit Awards last week, flew out to LA directly after her performance without her wedding ring.
PR guru Max Clifford spoke to Sky News following the announcement. "There’s a lot of sympathy for Cheryl… People will feel sorry for her, but just about everyone will say she had no choice because that’s how he is, and you assume that’s how he’ll always be."

Tiger Woods: “I had affairs. I cheated”
An emotional Tiger Woods has apologised for his "irresponsible and selfish behaviour" in his first press conference since his infidelities came to light.
"I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated,” the golfer admitted. "What I did was unacceptable and I am the only person to blame. I never thought about who I was hurting, instead I thought only about myself. I was wrong, I was foolish. I don’t get to play by different rules. I brought this shame on myself.
"I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife’s family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me. It’s up to me to start living a life of integrity."
Tiger revealed he had been seeking treatment since December and that he and wife Elin were working together to repair their relationship.

Alex: ‘I don’t want to adopt Peter’s kids’
The fiasco concerning Katie Price, Alex Reid and Peter Andre seems to have calmed down in the last couple of weeks, and last night Alex claimed to have no plans to adopt Peter’s children.
Speaking to Alan Carr on his chat show, the cage-fighting winner of Celebrity Big Brother denied rumours that he wanted to adopt Katie and Peter’s children: “How could I adopt them? Peter’s a great dad, I don’t want to take anything away from him, so why not all sit round a table? I am now officially a stepdad, it’s surreal. I love those little kids but I don’t want to be their dad like Peter Andre.”
Alex’s response comes weeks after Peter choked back tears on a live TV interview, after Sky News presenter Kay Burley asked him how he would feel if Alex adopted his kids. Alex revealed watching the interview was “horrible.”
He also admitted he proposed to Katie before she went into the I’m A Celebrity jungle: "After one of my fights I was very emotional and said ‘will you marry me?’."
Watch the full interview tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm.

Ashley Cole ‘slept with text girl’ says Sun
The Sun has reported that Ashley Cole has slept with the woman with whom he was sharing illicit texts.
The secretary, who has requested to stay anonymous for fear of losing her job, told The Sun she met Ashley in a hotel and slept with him on two separate dates. The pair had been corresponding via text messages for a while before meeting, she claimed.
Last week it was also reported the footballer had been sending explicit photos to topless model Sonia Wild.
The Sun quotes the unidentified secretary, 30, as saying: “He never once mentioned Cheryl’s name. The papers at the time were saying he and Cheryl were starting a family, but he skirted around that – he said kids would change your life so much.”
Ashley’s infidelities reportedly took place in late 2008 while Cheryl was busy with X Factor and just months after hairdresser Aimee Walton claimed she had slept with the Chelsea defender. Cheryl didn’t wear her wedding ring for months following the initial indiscretions, but she had since claimed she doesn’t regret standing by her man.
Ashley is yet to comment on the allegations.

Ashley Cole faces sex text claims
The Sun has claimed Ashley Cole is a “liar and sex text cheat” after reportedly sending photos of himself to an unidentified woman, just days after he was revealed to have sent photos of himself to topless model Sonia Wild.
The Chelsea defender and husband of Cheryl Cole has been publicly shamed by the tabloid after intimate pictures made their way onto its pages. It has been reported that in 2008 he sent a number of text messages to a woman at the same time Cheryl was busy working. The explicit messages and images had been saved on the woman’s mobile phone until now.
Just last week, Ashley’s messages to model Sonia Wild were revealed, although he claimed he did not send them and that a friend was to blame.
Cheryl, who is to perform at the Brits this week, reportedly cancelled their Valentine’s Day plans in favour of rehearsals.
Ashley’s reported indiscretions come two years after he was accused of cheating on Cheryl with a hairdresser.
