As 'brave' Cheryl Cole struggled out to LA's Nobu with Derek Hough wearing a pair of earring that weighed more than her last night, the ladies of China Shite (including Frankie Sandford) were welcoming the soon-to-be divorced Ashley Cole...

Now that Cheryl Cole is well enough to nibble on an edamame bean at Nobu, it's being reported that she'll soon have the strength to sign her divorce papers ('within days!') - so it was out celebrating for Ashley Cole last night, who hit China Shite wearing a t-shirt printed with an image of fellow legend, Marlon Brando.

Also in attendence was Didier Drogba, Mikel John Obi and Frankie Sandford, who probably won't be having to steam n vac her beige carpet this morning since she previously denied that her and Ashley had a love affair (despite the convincing detail about Nandos chicken).

Meanwhile, it's being reported that Cheryl and Derek Hough might be making some sweet music together. Obviously not in the bedroom - in the studio, after the dancer wrote a song for her.

Talking to the Daily Star, a source revealed:

"Derek’s a talented singer and songwriter, as well as a top dancer."

“She’s keen to repay him for all his help during her illness by recording a song with him.”

Apparently the lyrics include:

“I know things are getting better even when you feel like they’re not."

“So hey girl take a look around you, look at everything that you’ve got.”

A dancer and a poet, eh? What rhymes with 'not' and 'got'? Maybe 'I like to meet people in a parking lot'? or 'our PRs couldn't have dreamt up this lot'?
