Cheryl Cole has visited Sarah Harding in rehab.
The ‘Promise This’ singer is “pulling out all the stops” to help her Girls Aloud bandmate – who checked into an American treatment facility in Arizona earlier this month to receive help for depression and alcohol addiction – and the brunette beauty has even invited her to stay at her Los Angeles home to escape from the UK when she checks out.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Cheryl is really concerned for her friend Sarah. She made time in her busy schedule to travel over to Arizona and visit her in the rehab centre.
“Cheryl feels really passionate about alcohol and drug abuse after years of worrying about her drug addict brother Andrew.
“She has told Sarah she is more than welcome to use her LA home as an escape pad when she comes out of rehab. A bolt-hole where Sarah can chill out and escape the London limelight and maybe try to save her relationship with Tom.”
Sarah – who called off her engagement to DJ Tom Crane in the summer – has reportedly extended her stay in rehab and is unlikely to be out in time for Christmas.
Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh recently revealed 29-year-old Sarah is doing “really well” on the programme.
She explained: “I don’t want to go into detail about Sarah, but she’s doing really well.”

If you’re a gal who likes to go subtle when it comes to your make up then the doll eyes look is a perfect AW 2011 compromise.
The make up as seen as Lanvin is all about the eyes, and its nature means you can use just about any type of eyeliner to get the look.
For dramatic eyes opt for a gel eyeliner to draw a thick line just at the outer third of the eyelid then use a finger to gently smudge the edges just beyond the eye. For a daytime look switch to either a kohl or crayon liner and finish with a huge dollop of mascara on both the bottom and lop lashes.
Those worried about going all natural can also use a foundation to even out skin tones, but keep it light.
See the gallery below on how to get the look.

Daisy Lowe believes you have to be fearless to be a model.
The 22-year-old daughter of Pearl Lowe and Gavin Rossdale loves her job but says a sense of adventure is a definite plus when trying to get ahead in the fashion industry.
She explained to Live magazine: “I’m fearless when I need to be. In my work I’ve not been known turn down a challenge.
“I’ve posed naked a few times now, and that doesn’t bother me. I’ve done some mad shoots with the US photographer Steven Klein where I’ve hung off a giant crane ad jumped naked into a tub of slime.
“I recently did a shoot that involved four huge snakes crawling all over my body. I spent the whole day fretting about it. On the day itself I didn’t want them to smell my fear in case they decided to bite me.”
Despite her hugely successful career which has involved walking the catwalk for Chanel, Daisy admitted she actually “always wanted to become a “forensic scientist”.
She added: “I’ve always had a very analytical mind and science was my best subject at school. I haven’t completely ruled out the idea of doing something like that when I’m older.”

The man who married Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries wants them to stop their divorce.
Pastor Joel Johnson – who officiated the couple’s wedding ceremony on August 20 – would like to sit down and talk with the pair, who announced they had split yesterday, as he is upset by the decision.
He told HollywoodLife.com: “I’m sad to hear this. Why would Kim do this? I would love to connect with Kim and try to pull the reigns back and redirect this energy in a more redemptive way.”
Joel, who is Kris’ Pastor from childhood, spent time with the couple prior to their ceremony and he reveals he thought their feelings for each other were “genuine”.
He said: “I’ve known Kris a long time and gone into some deep places with him. I felt really good about the meeting. I felt what I experienced was genuine. I feel for both of them. I think two of the hardest things to deal with are wealth and fame and they have both. I knew it would be a challenging one for them.
“So many people condemned the wedding before it happened saying it wouldn’t last. But when I spoke to Kris, I knew where his heart was and I said I wanted to meet Kim personally. I was totally impressed with Kim.”
Kim, 31, filed for divorce today at the Los Angeles Superior Court after just 72 days of marriage.

Michelle Williams likes running through fields with no shoes on.
The 31-year-old actress – who has six-year-old daughter Matilda from her relationship with late actor Australian Heath Ledger – is now playing troubled star Marilyn Monroe in movie My Week with Marilyn, and she admits has always liked her because she was a “simple dresser”.
She told UK’s Elle magazine: “Something I really appreciated about her is what a simple dresser she was. She’s really, in her personal life, completely unadorned.
“Everything that she wore looked like she could take hr shoes off and run through a field. And I like that.”
Michelle – who stars alongside Emma Watson and Dame Judi Dench in the film – also admits she was always more preoccupied with the “private” side of Marilyn as opposed to her Hollywood career.
She added: “I had always been more interested in the private Marilyn, and the unguarded Marilyn.
“Even as a young girl, my primary concern wasn’t with this larger than life personality smiling back from the wall but with what was going on underneath.”
Her love for the star – who died in 1962 – was deep enough for her to be very concerned about taking on the role.
She said: “I was so apprehensive. It was daunting living up to people’s expectations as well as my own expectations.”

Rihanna has been hospitalised in Sweden.
The’Cheers (Drink to That) hitmaker – who is currently on a world tour – has been hooked up to a drip at a Swedish medical institution and has been forced to cancel a performance in the city of Malmo in the south of the country after being stricken with the flu.
Tweeting a picture of her arm with a tube coming out of it, Rihanna wrote: “Sorry Malmo!”
In a statement, the 23-year-old singer added she was “really disappointed” she could not perform.
According to TMZ.com, she said: “I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo. I was so excited to perform for you all. It would have been a great time. So much better than being sick with the flu, ugh. I’m really disappointed I couldn’t be there.”
A representative for concert promoter Live Nation added she was “not in condition to conduct the concert”.
Rihanna is not the only star to be forced to cancel a planned concert recently – George Michael had to pull out of a gig at London’s Royal Albert Hall last week after he was diagnosed with a viral infection, leaving him with a high temperature.

If you want a make up look that will really make you stand out this season then you’ll love the subtle grunge look. The trend was all over the AW 2011 catwalks championed by both Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang and goes perfectly with the 80s clothing trends that are hot at the moment.
To get the look you’ll need to focus mainly on the eyes to get a smokey look. Keep the foundation to a minimum and add a touch of girly frosted pink lippy.
See the gallery below for a masterclass on how to get the look as well as what make up to buy.

Ginger and red heads have, in the past, had a hard time of it. When Girls Aloud first came out, ginger head Nicola Roberts was quickly transformed into a brunette and her red roots were hurriedly touched up so we forgot about her traditional colourings.
However as the years have passed the red and ginger heads have come out on top with a huge range of celebrities opting to dye their locks this hue.
And it also seems that men are seeing the attraction with Jason Orange reportedly striking up a romance with red head Catherine Tate. We look at the lucky celebrities who are blessed with this hair colour naturally.
