Do you mean Cheryl Cole?
Well, this is easy

Within You Without You was a song written by Beatles guitarist George Harrison.
The bass player of The Beatles was Sir Paul McCartney.
Sir Paul McCartney appeared on The X Factor in 2009, a show on which there have, in the past been. Beatles themed weeks.
Cheryl Cole was a former judge on the show.
She had a number one single with Fight For This Love.

Hope I did that right :S

1936 saw the infamous Jarrow March
1+9+3+6 = 19
19 was a massive hit Paul Hardcastle
Paul Hardcastle also penned The Wizard
The Wizard was the theme tune for Top of The Pops
Top of the Pops used to be presented by Dave Lee Travis
Travis has a big hit in 1999 with the song Turn
If you look quickly at the word Turn it could look like the word Torn"...

Tom Hark was also recorded by Mango Groove
“Man, go groove!” could be perceived as an instruction to dance
But when you get there its murder on the dance floor
Co-incidentally (cough) a number one hit for Sophie Ellis Bexter
Cruelly, she is oft nicknamed ‘rhombus head’
A rhombus is often also called a diamond
Jim Diamond sang the theme tune to the hit ITV series ‘Boon’
Boon(e) was also a character in Lost who survived drowning when the plane crashed
Simon Le Bon also nearly drowned when he lost the keel of his yacht, Drum, during the fastnet race
As the lead singer of Duran Duran they recorded ‘Girls On Film’

Speak Like A Child – The Style Council
The Only Living Boy In New York – Simon and Garfunkel

The Style Council were formed in 1983 by Mick Talbot and Paul Weller.
Paul Weller previously turned out for an obscure group called The Jam.
If you smear Jam onto your bread with just your fingers, you would end up with Sticky Fingers.
Sticky Fingers was the name of The Rolling Stones 1971 album.
The combined ages of the current members of the Stones is 269.
269 expressed in Roman numerals is CCLXIX.
The Romans were told to go home (Romat Ite Domum??) by Brian of Nazareth in the Life of Brian.
Brian was played by Graham Chapman, alongside fellow Pythons, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones and John Cleese.
John Cleese starred in A Fish Called Wanda with Jamie Lee Curtis.
Jamie Lee Curtis starred with Sylvester Stallone in True Lies.
Sylvester Stallone featured in six Rocky movies as a Boxer.
The Boxer was a 1969 UK Top ten hit for Simon & Garfunkel and was included on their iconic album Bridge Over Troubled Water.

I had to look all this up after my horrendous mistake confusing a Cheryl Cole song I'd not heard with a Girls Aloud song above.

Sinitta - So Macho
Happy Mondays - Step On

Sinitta reportedly dated Simon Cowell for twenty years
As a judge on Britain's Got Talent one of Cowell's favoured acts was the Circus Of Horrors featuring "Captain Dan" Blackner, "The Demon Dwarf"
In the South African Xhosa language a demon dwarf is known as a "tokoloshe"
"Tokoloshe Man" was a No. 4 hit in 1971 for John Kongos
"He's Gonna Step On You Again" was also a No.4 hit in 1971 for John Kongos
This song was later covered by the Happy Mondays as "Step On"

Stone Roses were famous for using the work of Jackson Pollock on their record sleeves. JP died in a car crash. Meat Loaf had a song called 'Object In The Resr View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are', advice perhaps that Pollock should have heeded.

The original demo of Go Let it Out by Oasis features snippets of Austin Powers.

Austin Powers was a shameless spoof of theJames Bond films, one of the best of these was Goldfinger, Shirley sung the title track.

Jeff Goldblum was the lead in The Fly film re-make

Another film he appeared in was Mister Frost

Mister Soft was a hit for Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

It was used in an 80's Softmints advert

Another make of mint is the Polo

Polo is also a Volkswagen car

When the Beasties first came on the scene they created a craze of nicking VW badges off card to use as medallions and so on

Tom Jones was mates with Elvis, who was in turn mates with Engelbert Humperdinck.

Engelbert (unfairly imo) finished nearly last in this years Eurovision Song Contest, wheras Sandie Shaw won with Puppet on a String in the 60's.

Mansun's promo video for Legacy features just puppet versions (on string) of the band.



or Tom Jones had a big hit with Help Yourself, whilst Mansun threw away £25000 in £5 notes onto the concourse of Liverpool Street Station for their "Taxloss" video - The commuters duly Helped Themselves !!
