We all know it's probably bullshit, but as long as it annoys Ashley Cole then we'll keep the rumours of a Cheryl/Will.I.Am romance running for as long as we can. The pair are currently on tour together and the latest rumour from the mill is that the rest of the crew have been "ripping the piss" out of them for their suspiciously close friendship...

The Black Eyed Peas frontman recently described Cheryl's divorce as "great news" (i.e. what we all described it as) and said he'd move to London if it meant they could be together. Although that's nothing when you think what some men would do if it meant being with Cheryl Cole.

Anyway, his comments obviously sparked rumours that the pair are getting it on, and the latest is that their colleagues won't stop teasing them about it on tour. A made-up factually accurate source said:

"Cheryl's presence has spiced things up during the first two nights in Dublin. Everyone has been teasing Will and Cheryl about being an item and generally ripping the piss. It's playground stuff. The backing dancers have been getting in on the act with the most childish stuff."

Will and Cheryl up a tree, (not really) f-u-c-k-i-n-g etc etc.

"Will has a mobile studio with him and he and Cheryl are planning to spend even more time in there making music during the 17 upcoming UK and European dates. So the ribbing is only going to continue."

Is that ribbing, or rimming?

"Cheryl's been laughing about it though, saying Will is more like a brother and he's simply been showing off new beats."

No doubt he's been beating one off at the same time.

The tour kicked off in Dublin at the weekend, where Will came on stage rapping "Cheryl Cole's so sexy", so don't think you've seen the last of these stories. But at least it means we can think up more hilarious Black Eyed Peas puns for headlines...
