Fergie thinks Cole can rule the world

The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, who became pals with the British beauty Cheryl Cole this summer when the Parachute hitmaker was the opening act on the group’s tour, thinks her pal could soon work with some of the world’s biggest movie and music stars.

She said, “She is such a good friend. But I don’t think she has quite got her head around how big she is going to be. My girl really can rule the world. I have already heard crazy things like Robert De Niro wants to make movies with her and that Jay-Z wants to work with her.”

Fergie even believes the Girls Aloud singer, who is rumoured to be joining the judging panel on the US X Factor when it launches next year, could reach the levels of stardom attained by pop superstars Madonna and Mariah Carey.She enthused to the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Within five years we could be talking about Cheryl on the same level as we go Madonna or Mariah Carey.”
