Justin Bieber wants to date Cheryl Cole

Cheryl, 26, recently announced she is divorcing her estranged husband Ashley Cole, following allegations he cheated on her with a string of women. She performed at the Capital Summertime Ball in London over the weekend, where 16-year-old Justin also took to the stage. He was bowled over by the British beauty, and took to his Twitter page to announce his love.

"just did an interview where they asked me if there was anyone i wanted to work with from the show`s lineup...I said Cheryl Cole..of course," he wrote. "I mean i heard Cheryl just became single...I mean aw cmon!! haha. Whatsup Cheryl? ;) (sic)."

Justin`s declaration drew a quick response from actress Lindsay Lohan, who seemed worried about his affections. "she is too old for you! be wise young buck! ;) (sic)," she wrote.

Justin was later heard telling pals backstage Cheryl was "hot".

Cheryl performed her single Fight For This Love at the event at Wembley Stadium, and treated fans to a raunchy routine with professional dancer Derek Hough. The two have been romantically linked, although neither has confirmed they are dating.

The singer is set to have a waxwork made in her image at legendary museum Madame Tussauds, and is thrilled with the honour. However, she can`t decide how she wants the replica to be dressed, and has decided she will need to buy a totally new outfit.

"Cheryl knows it`s a huge deal to model for a waxwork," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "But she doesn?t want to part with the frock they wanted. They asked for two others but she doesn?t want to give them away either."

Meanwhile, it has been reported Ashley has moved on from the failed relationship and is now dating a stripper who is also a white witch. He is said to have met Sarah Purnell five weeks ago, and she has told her friends he has been the "perfect gentleman".
