My public war of words with Cheryl is exactly why I know how her comeback will play out – as reason for return revealed
When Polly dared to criticise Cheryl's birthday party, she had no idea the fury she was going to unleash - it revealed a side to the pop star no-one has seen POLLY HUDSON My public war of words with Cheryl is exactly why I know how her comeback will play out – as reason for return revealed CHERYL has returned to the spotlight 10 months after the tragic death of Liam Payne - her ex-boyfriend and father of her adored eight-year-old son Bear. Her three million Instagram fans couldn't be happier - 'the people's princess' cooed one - but is she really ready? I know the truth - and, bizarrely, it's all thanks to the very embarrassing and public falling out I had with her. 7 Cheryl has returned to the spotlight 10 months after the tragic death of Liam Payne Credit: PA:Press Association 7 The Girls Aloud announced that she has collaborated with Nivea Credit: nivea_uk/Instagram 7 Cheryl never looked better in the video despite her unimaginable grief Credit: nivea_uk/Instagram The Girls Aloud icon, 42, emerged for the first time in months when a teaser video dropped on Monday announcing that she has collaborated with Nivea as the face of their Epigenetics Age Rewind Serum. Let's be frank, despite the unimaginable grief and agony she's endured in the past year, she's never looked better. Returning to her showbiz life is not a decision she will have taken lightly. Her number one priority is, and will always be, Bear. But I believe she's ready - and my run-in with her in 2013 explains why. Back then, Cheryl was one of the most high profile, famous women in the country. She'd been a judge on the hottest TV show of the moment, The X Factor, a member of Girls Aloud and a successful solo artist. Her every move was reported and dissected, and her 30th birthday party was no different. Single at the time – post Ashley Cole marriage, pre Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini - from the social media pictures she posted it appeared to be a small affair in Las Vegas, with just her mum, her PA, a few members of her hair and make up team and bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. I wrote a feature for another newspaper that I'm not particularly proud of today, saying it looked like 'the most depressing 30th birthday in the history of celebrations'. Many celebrities, especially at the time, followed the old mantra Never Complain Never Explain, figuring that if they object to misleading coverage all they do is draw more attention to it. Most of them just put up and shut up. But Cheryl is not most celebrities. This feisty star gave me both barrels – deservedly so, but ouch! Cheryl returns to the spotlight for first time since Liam Payne's death She tweeted: '#poorpolly Meow.. Who exactly was my party depressing for? yourself? sitting behind your little computer watching Instagram.. aww!! 'Well I really don't know where to start with this one I have to say! Cats got my tongue (no pun intended) I am actually dumbfounded reading your nasty bitter horrible incredibly inaccurate and misinformed article! 'Is this what you have been resorted to??! i feel bad for you. You literally have NO correct detail other than the 4 or 5 people you were able to identify from the "Instagram" pictures!' It didn't end there. She went on: 'Really?!! Smh. It's embarrassing. I have no idea why or where your nastiness has suddenly come from as you have only ever kissed my arse to my face.. 'I won't bother myself with handing you any correct information or facts as I feel that is a part of YOUR job you seriously need to work on.. Good luck with that #bitterbilly #saucerofmilkforPolly' 7 Cheryl at a film premiere in France in 2013, just about the same time she was blasting me with both barrels after her 30th birthday Credit: Getty It made me feel terrible, and ashamed, mostly because I knew deep down that she was right. I had looked at the select few photos she'd chosen to share and not considered that they weren't the full story. I had also forgotten that Cheryl was a human being, with feelings, and that what I was writing might hurt her. To be honest, I had assumed she probably wouldn't even see it, never mind might be wounded by it. 'Standing up for herself' I nervously checked every detail of every story I wrote about her after that, knowing there were embarrassing consequences of getting any aspect wrong. But also, her punishment definitely fit my crime, and felt well deserved. I had written something publicly about her, and she had done the exact same to me. She made her own rules, and lived by them, but they were fair. She wasn't being spiteful or petty, she was standing up for herself, presumably deciding that just because she was famous didn't mean she had to sit silently by, be passive, not say what she thought at all times. This outburst makes me certain that Cheryl is well equipped to deal with whatever this comeback throws at her She had a right to reply, and boy oh boy did she use it! But crucially this outburst makes me certain that Cheryl is well equipped to deal with whatever this comeback throws at her. She is made of tough stuff. She hasn't rushed anything, but sensibly took the time that she and Bear needed to grieve in private, a process that is obviously still ongoing, and will be forever. And Cheryl has always been hard as nails. After criticisms in the past about her clothes, her hair, her singing, her dancing… she's always come back fighting. A key reason that she prevails as the nation's sweetheart is that, at heart, she's a normal working-class girl from Newcastle. I first met her at her then-publicist's birthday party, and she was warm and friendly, but it was also immediately clear that she was different from the usual stars on the scene. 7 Late Liam is the father of their eight-year-old son Bear Credit: Refer to Caption 7 Cheryl has also been through the heart-breaking death of Girls Aloud Sarah Harding, and two very public divorces Credit: Getty I knew that we went to the same hairdresser for the extensions we were both sporting at the time, and, panicking for something to say to her, I mentioned this. Many celebrities would not have been happy, they wouldn't want anyone to know what went on behind the curtain, and would have denied any tweaks to their appearance. 'Graft to get on' Cheyl, refreshingly, looked me straight in the eye and grinned instead. 'I love my extensions,' she announced, 'You just get addicted to the thickness, don't you?' Her no-nonsense honesty, vulnerability, Teflon-like persona and model looks is clearly why Nivea has snapped her up - and why she'll never fall out of public favour. If she says she's ready to work again, we must believe her. Her no-nonsense honesty, vulnerability, Teflon-like persona and model looks is clearly why Nivea has snapped her up - and why she'll never fall out of public favour Along with the loss of Liam, who died in Argentina in October, she recently coped with a terrifying stalker, who was jailed in March, and has also been through the heart-breaking death of Girls Aloud Sarah Harding, not to mention two very public divorces. We are talking about an extremely formidable woman here, with a spirit that cannot be squashed. Hopefully the Nivea campaign is just the start of a new chapter for Cheryl, a gloriously triumphant one that will make her little boy proud. Interestingly, it seems her little boy is the inspiration behind her courageous comeback, as an insider tells The Sun: "Cheryl's in a much better place at the moment and she's really keen to show Bear that you need to push on and keep going when life gets tough. "She wants to instill a good work ethic in him and that you need to graft to get on in life - she's always worked hard in the past. "It's a big part of why she decided to take on this campaign - she's feeling positive despite everything that has gone on." 7 If Cheryl says she's ready to work again after taking time to grieve Liam's death in private, we must believe her Credit: Louis Wood

Watch as Justin Bieber lookalike tricks Vegas club into letting him perform to oblivious fans – & runs up a $10k bar tab
WATCH as a Justin Bieber lookalike tricks a Vegas nightclub into letting him perform on stage and run up a $10,000 bar tab. Staff and partygoers at the five-star Wynn Las Vegas hotel were convinced that scammer Dylan Desclos, 29, was the real Canadian pop star. 7 The fake Bieber seized the chance to perform to an adoring crowd Credit: X 7 Fans clamoured to record a video of the fake Bieber performing 7 Bieber, actually Dylan Desclos, poses with an oblivious party-goer Credit: X LA-based DJ Gryffin was performing at XS Nightclub, and was told that Bieber, 31, was in town, reports TMZ.

Videos posted to social media show the shirtless, tattooed fake singing and dancing on stage in front of a packed crowd. Almost everyone is recording the moment on their phones and appear totally fooled. He belts out Bieber's hit Sorry and prances around, always wearing a pair of dark glasses. The DJ is also completely oblivious, hyping up the prankster from behind the decks. Another clip shows adoring fans clamouring to snap a selfie with Desclos. A fake security team was in tow, and the group wandered around splashing cash at shops and behind the bar. The impersonator got through a couple of tracks before staff clocked onto the ruse and booted him off stage. Gryffin saw the funny side of the saga and documented how it unfolded on Instagram. Justin Bieber sparks concern with series of worrying selfies as he refers to drugs in shock post He posted a series of clips along with his version of events, dubbing the faker "Bustin Jeiber". Gryffin wrote: "How Bustin Jeiber duped me during me own set. How I ended up in this situation. "It started when Bustin Jeiber showed up to the club and I was told he wanted to perform. "Dark venue and loud music didn't help here. "So his 'team' said he wanted to perform Sorry. Little did I know I was about to be sorry... 7 The DJ said the club conditions made it hard to recognise the fake 7 Fake Bieber rocked up with a 'security team' 7 Dylan Desclos has a history of impersonating Bieber "The place went wild, and after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber, I found out the worst news imaginable. "COMPLETE FAKE. NO WAY." At the end of the video, Gryffin said: "I literally thought, 'He's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.'" A rep for Wynn and XS Nightclub told TMZ: 'After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. 'As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' Desclos eventually paid the tab he and his gang racked up.
