Cheryl Cole Wants to be The British Britney Spears

Cheryl Cole is planning to launch a career as a solo artist — and she wants to be the British Britney Spears!

The Girls Aloud singer has hired the hitmaker behind one of Britney’s biggest tracks, Toxic, and will jet to Sweden and America this month to put the finishing touches to her first single.

Cole will even get to showcase her new music on The X Factor, the UK TV talent show she judges alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue.

“She wants to be a pop star, not a TV star. She’s only committed to X Factor this year and doesn’t know if she’ll have time to do another one,” a source told British tabloid the News of The World.

“Her music is very different to Girls Aloud. It’s pop with an urban twist and the first single is incredible.

“There’s millions being pumped into the promotion, recording, photo shoots and music videos. The plan is to make her as huge as Britney and Madonna.”

Yeah, well... who doesn´t want to be like Britney (minus paparazzi)? ;)
