Cheryl Cole Tired of Being Asked About Simon Cowell - What Else Has She Been Doing Lately?

Poor Cheryl Cole. After being dropped from "The X Factor" a year ago, people still want to talk to her about Simon Cowell! The British singer says that the music mogul doesn't enter her head anymore, and that being asked about him is "kind of irritating." It's no surprise Cowell doesn't cross her mind, she's been too busy with other things. Here is a look at what Cole has been doing recently.

Made a dig at Rihanna

Chezza and Rihanna have been very open about their mutual love for each other, but earlier this week, Cheryl might have put a dent in their friendship. She said that while she admires Rhi-Rhi's talent for speaking her mind, she also said there are 12-year-olds on Twitter who can see her colorful language. Let's hope this doesn't spark the beginning of another celebrity feud!

Defended Chris Brown

In another Rihanna-related interview, Cole said she believes it was good of Rihanna to forgive her ex, Chris Brown for assaulting her. She then went on to add that she feels it's time everyone forgave him for his past mistakes, and moved on. This was a bold statement to make, but it's hard not to admire her for saying what she thinks!

Debuted the video for her new single

We almost forgot that the British singer is actually a pop star because it was so long since she released a single! However, at the beginning of last month, she revealed the video for her brand new single, "Call My Name." The video shows Cheryl performing a high energy dance routine in colored baggy pants, and a ! yellow t op. Who knew she had such great moves?

Showed her supportive side

In Cannes, Cole looked stunning in a gorgeous feather dress, but she didn't stay for long. Instead, she flew back to London to attend her best friend's final show in the West End. Cole's Girls Aloud band mate, Kimberley Walsh, ended her eight month run as Princess Fiona in the stage version of "Shrek," and Cheryl was there to witness it, and attend her leaving party.
