Mariah Carey is reportedly in talks to star in a play in London’s West End. What? Is she not brave enough to show off her so-called acting chops in the US? A source said “She was hugely flattered to have been asked and is determined to nail the part… she is pretty confident in her own abilities. And although there’s been talk of musicals, Mariah has always wanted to star in a play so this really is a dream come true.” The singer has taken several meetings with a top theatre producer who offered her a $30,000-a-week contract! Has that producer not seen any of her movies? Mariah should make her stage debut next spring.

Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am thinks Cheryl Cole will “definitely” have a hit solo career in the US.

The 34-year-old singer worked with Cheryl, 25, on their collaborative track Heartbreaker in 2008 and has also worked on some other tracks with the British Girls Aloud star.

He said: “We did two songs and we’re getting back together to do two more in July. Cheryl is a sweetheart, I really like working with her. We did this one song and it was ‘wow’. It was great.”

He added: “I didn’t want to play it for anybody in our group or our record company because they would have said: ‘Why don’t we do that song?’

“It’s a big, big record, but I didn’t want it on our album because this one is a little slower. It’s a beautiful song, and she sang it great.”

Cheryl is reportedly planning to release more solo tracks away from her band Girls Aloud, and he admitted her US career will definitely take off.

He said: “Definitely. We started off with a really mega tune, and now the bar is set high. We’re going to have some really cool tunes.

“That’s a clue of how to make Cheryl dope all over the world – by being creative with infectious melodies.”
