Cher Lloyd lives the pop star dream in the US
X Factor wild child Cher Lloyd is living the Hollywood dream - and absolutely loving it. The ballsy rapper arrived in America two weeks ago to record her debut album and has been hanging out with childhood hero Lil Wayne and Black Eyed Peas mentor Will.i.am. She hooked up with Lil Wayne while recording in Miami, Florida, before flying west to Los Angeles ten days ago to work with different artists and producers. Love her or loathe her, the kid from the council house in Malvern, Worcs, is definitely looking - and acting - like an international pop star. And all this before she has even released a single. The Sun caught up with Cher on the famous Sunset Strip in LA for her first interview since The X Factor. She was still breathless with excitement after meeting Lil Wayne - a controversial rapper, real name Dwayne Carter, who has been charged for drugs and weapons offences in the past. Cher said: "Meeting Lil Wayne was actually the best day of my life. I'll never ever forget it. "The same people who took the mickey out of me at school loved Lil Wayne and now I am chilling with him in the studio." The skinny teenager has also been recording with Lady GaGa's producer RedOne - real name Nadir Khayat - who has made Cher his No1 priority for 2011. RedOne said: "There are created stars and creative stars. Cher's a creative star - she's amazing." Cher also revealed she is in talks to bring out her own clothing line. She said: "I want to create a range, hip-hop style, creative, out-there - but very affordable." The only negative for Cher is that she can't seem to put on any weight - even in the US, where the portions are super-sized. Cher is very sensitive about her tiny size 6 frame and is desperate to fill out to silence her critics. She said: "My big insecurity is that I am too small. I see girls with curves and I'd do anything to be like that. I'm trying. I eat all the time. "I like a full-on Chinese, everything covered in sweet and sour sauce - with chips! I could eat that every day. "But I think it's bad people criticise me, a 17-year-old girl, about my figure." On a more reflective note, she continued: "If I could have done one thing differently I'd have waited until I was older before getting into this industry. I'd get so frightened of people saying hurtful things I'd put up a barrier, saying, 'I don't care and then they can't hurt me'. "But I do care and it does hurt. Because of my style, I come across as hard and in your face. But I'm not like that." Cher remains very grateful to Simon Cowell for giving her a chance on the show and signing her to his Syco label. And she denied reports the pair have clashed over her artistic path, adding: "I wouldn't be here without him. Simon gets me and he's got my back. He knows me too well to give me rules - he likes the fact I'm a bit rebellious!" It is amazing just how self-confident Cher appears in the super-slick surroundings of LA. Her current lifestyle is a million miles away from her pre-X Factor existence in the backwater of Malvern with mum Dina and dad Darren. Cher admits her drive is fuelled by the childhood bullies who branded her a "gippo" and mocked her dream to become a rapper. She said: "I grew up in a council house. We were outcasts because we were poorer. I have Romany roots and I'm proud of that. "I walked everywhere because I didn't want to get in dad's car because it was like a tin can. People would call me council girl or gippo. I never hit them back but I always said to myself, 'One day... '. "Now I feel like my day is coming. When I first arrived in LA I was in the penthouse suite at the Mondrian hotel. "It was just ridiculous. I wanted my mum and dad here so they could experience it with me." Talking about her distinctive look - featuring Dr Martens boots, lumberjack shirts and red hair - she insists she is High Street rather than haute couture. Cher said: "I'd rather wear Primark than Prada. I'd rather spend my money making my family happy. I'm saving everything I've got to move my family away." X Factor viewers watched as Cher clung on to get into the finals despite voting controversies. But the public's criticism was the least of her concerns when she was hit by a family tragedy. During the live shows Cher's uncle Edward died aged just 34. She said: "I had to go on stage the next day - I sang Shakespears Sister's Stay for him. "I was really close to him. Before I even auditioned for The X Factor he would say, 'Here's our little Cheryl Cole'. He collected all of my newspaper cuttings and framed them all. I am still hurting a lot." Cher was dealt another blow earlier this month when she read in The Sun that her boyfriend Karim Roundi, 20, had been cheating on her. She revealed: "It was very hurtful. It made me aware I can't just jump into a relationship and trust people - not now. "Whenever I meet a boy I take them home to my dad. It made it more hurtful as he got my dad's approval." When it comes to romance, Cher still has her eyes on fellow X Factor contestant Aiden Grimshaw, 19. The pair were rumoured to have got together during the show and she admitted: "Aiden is my perfect guy. I'd get married to him. He and I are two very different people but he is so quirky. "He makes me laugh all the time - and my dad loves him!" The pair keep in touch and Cher can't wait to join him on the X Factor tour next month - but the same can't be said of all the contestants. Laughing, she said: "I'm not looking forward to seeing Wagner again - I want an injunction against him! He creeps me out. Hopefully he will fall off stage and not be able to perform his latest Pavarotti impression." But Cher is just excited to not have to perform alone in her bedroom any more. She said: "I always wanted to rap but never really had the guts to do it because I'm just a skinny white girl. "Then aged 13 I started rapping secretly because I didn't know whether people would accept me - some people still don't." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...in-the-US.html |

Ah why are your exams so early?! Well goodluck anyway nelson!
I like that interview, it feels a little dodgy like confirming a story that's been denied and the aiden/wagner stuff... But its kinda the sun supporting her (or at least joining team cher to make money) which is always a bonus

Cher Lloyd: Simon Cowell's got my back
Cher Lloyd has denied reports that she has clashed with Simon Cowell over her music career and insisted that 'he's got my back'. The 17-year-old X Factor reject reportedly threw a tantrum over Cowell's choice of material for her debut album and told the music guru that she wanted to crack America her 'own way'. But Lloyd told The Sun that the Cowell would never try to tell her what to do. She said: 'I wouldn't be here without him. Simon gets me and he's got my back. He knows me too well to give me rules - he likes the fact I'm a bit rebellious!' The star tweeted yesterday that she was back in the studio, telling her followers: 'In the studiooooo! lalalalalaa!' She has been busy recording in Los Angeles and spoke about meeting childhood hero Lil Wayne. 'Meeting Lil Wayne was actually the best day of my life. I'll never ever forget it. 'The same people who took the mickey out of me at school loved Lil Wayne and now I am chilling with him in the studio.' Cher has also been working with Lady GaGa's producer RedOne and reveals she started rapping in secret aged 13. 'I always wanted to rap but never really had the guts to do it because I'm just a skinny white girl. 'Then aged 13 I started rapping secretly because I didn't know whether people would accept me - some people still don't.' The singer, who was widely criticised during her stint on the ITV reality TV contest, added that she was hurt by fans' negative comments. 'If I could have done one thing differently I'd have waited until I was older before getting into this industry. I'd get so frightened of people saying hurtful things I'd put up a barrier, saying, "I don't care and then they can't hurt me". http://www.metro.co.uk/music/853499-...ls-got-my-back |

OMGGG double spread in todays Sun about Cher! I see WestHamFan posted it up there, but I got so excited when I unexpectedly saw it

Aaah I love her.I see a clothing range is in the pipeline, and I like that Simon is giving Cher maximum freedom to do things her way, I respect him alot more for that. She's so humble too "Rather wear Primark than Prada" ![]() I see the Karim thing wasn't before they got together like Paije said and Cher is still upset about it, the bastard ![]() Great interview really happy that's made my day

Back from school, and I reckon my C3 exam went brilliantly! Hopefully it'll make up for how rubbish I did in the Mechanics one. It's even more satisfying because so many people afterwards were saying they found it hard, and there I am saying I'm really confident about it I must've got a B at the very least for it ![]() Quote:

And I had a feeling that her relationship with Karim wouldn't work out. I mean, a 3-year age gap?

That film looks a bit weird, like a ballerina thriller type thing, could be totally wrong.
Yeah I think it is.. It seems to have the ballerina would portrayed pretty badly but I think it looks amazing! Thats the kind of thing that I usually would stay as far away as possible from but she's like my favourite actress ever and I read stuff about it that was pretty interesting.. Quote:

I avtually don't think I've seen natalie portman in any films before what ones do you recomend? lolWell I was first introduced to her by star wars when I was like five.. She's been in loads of things, but Star Wars and The other boleyn girl are my favourites, but if you don't like history then the boleyn girl isn't a such a good idea from the difference of my opinion and my friends after I forced them to watch it ![]()

enjoyed the Sun piece today, good to get an interview with proper quotes from the horses mouth, tho i don't really like to refer to Cher as a horse, put a few things straight anyway.
It gets clearer that she had a bit of a shit time of it back during school days and growing up, and you can tell she's on a bit of a mission to succeed to help her family as well as cos it's what she was born to do. the more you hear about her the more amazing she gets. P>S snuffles22 get us a photo of her or we won't believe you ![]() P.S (2) saw Black Swan today, was ok, hope that review helps

I hate the report of that Ophelia girl saying cher made her cut herself etc. She acts like someone who has been bullied - her video diaries she keeps her arms over her body, hugging herself, hiding herself. things she says like "even if i get knocked back to the very bottom, I'll climb right back to the top" are as if she has been programmed to think positively. Right see in black swan does it come across like her mother

the film. not sexual abuse just psychological abuse as far as i picked up. One of them controlling mothers living her own dream thru her daughter type things. Some gruesome moments in it but a decent enough film. |
