Cheryl Cole To Move To LA Permanently?

If rumoured boyfriend Derek has his way, Chezza could be leaving the UK...

Cheryl Cole's pal Derek Hough reportedly wants the singer to move to Los Angeles with him permanently after the pair jetted off to LA together last week.

After making her first public appearance since being hit with malaria, Chezza and Derek left England for LA where the suspected couple have been spotted visiting the cinema and having lunch together.

Now, reports suggest that the Dancing With The Stars ace hopes that Cheryl - who recently claimed that Derek 'saved her life' after contracting malaria - will decide to make LA her home after attending a series of meetings to determine where her career can go Stateside.

The Girls Aloud singer's diary is allegedly packed with full of business meetings, including US TV giants FOX and American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest.

According to The Mirror, Hough is hoping Seacrest will convince the 3 Words star to make a permanent role to the US if she lands a Dancing With The Stars presenting role.

A source told the tabloid: "Derek hopes Ryan will persuade Cheryl to move the US more permanently. The world is her oyster and Cheryl knows how lucky she is. But, frankly, at the moment she is simply grateful to be alive and doesn’t want to jeopardise her health by taking on too much.”

The source added: "Cheryl is improving day by day, and feeling stronger all the time. She has spoken to Simon Cowell and assured him she will be raring to go for the Judges’ Houses stage of X Factor at the end of this month."

“But, in the meantime, she refuses to sit still and do nothing. She has done enough of that of late - through no choice of her own."

They continued: “Cheryl has been asked to attend about a dozen meetings and lunches since being in LA and has turned down most."

"She is meeting execs at Fox who are keen to see what all the fuss is about, while Derek has also lined her up for casual talks with the DWTS crew"

Cheryl, who is said to already be house-hunting in Hollywood for a base in the US is also rumoured to be appearing in the next series of Desperate Housewives, with an insider confirming that she has been approached to star in the show.
