Simon Cowell has reportedly issued a warning to Cheryl Cole urging her to cut down her workload in order to give her full attention to the X Factor; is what sources told us today. It was claimed that Simon told Cheryl Cole that she needed to focus her attention more of X Factor rather than her solo career (eek!? oh no he didn’t!). “Fight For This Love” singer is currently on tour with lover Will.i.am and the Black Eyed Peas as their opening act.

Simon accused Cheryl Cole of “not being committed to the new series 100%”. Close sources told us that “Simon is supportive of Cheryl. But he feels she needs to stop gallivanting around Europe and start getting focused on The X Factor’s return.” (gallivanting”…now that is just rude!). Although at times I do see a point, it was the X Factor that made Cheryl’s popularity increased which as a result lead to her success. Cheryl Cole has been reportedly been signing up to various endorsements and music festivals which could lead to Cheryl Cole being pretty exhausted by the time X Factor comes around.

Sources told us “Simon is worried she’s been doing too much. He wants her to take some time out and get her head in the right place for what will be an incredibly demanding new series. She is determined to work as hard as she can. That’s how she has dealt with her problems with Ashley. Simon has told Cheryl she is the star of the show and that she needs to get back in the zone, and fast.” So pretty much they need their Cheryl back or X Factor will not be the same (or will it?). In other news Cheryl Cole;s hectic schedule has started to take its toll on her as reports suggest she refused to party with Will.i.am after their recent gig in Manchester because she was ‘physically exhausted.’.
