The Mirror reports Cheryl Cole had to be given a pep talk by her Girls Aloud bandmates minutes before their sell-out gig at Manchester’s MEN Arena on Friday night. The ‘X Factor’ judge was apparently scared to take the stage on the opening night of the tour.
“She’s got a lot going on in her personal life and I think she’s finding it tough being the nation’s sweetheart and dealing with all the attention that comes with that,” a source told the British tabloid.

The Sun hears that Girls Aloud are planning to release a line of healthy cooking products, with plans to name one of their products the Love Machine grill. “They’ve spoken about doing a low-fat cooking device similar to George Foreman’s lean, mean grilling machine,” a source told Gordon Smart. “They think there’s a real gap in the market for it.”
