Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell 'to meet'

It has taken months for the singer and music mogul to get speaking again after Cheryl was ditched from the show in May.

And although they're on talking terms, they haven't seen each other since.

A source said: "It had been pretty frosty for a while but Cheryl has mellowed and they've turned a corner.

"Simon has always wanted to remain friends with her but it's understandable how she needed time to calm down. Now they're on talking terms and banter is in full swing, they're discussing a meet, which is likely to be in LA."

The least he can do is buy lunch.
