Cheryl Cole may soon be heading off the US for some lucrative TV work after being wooed by two big wigs over dinner last night.

"Gorgeous": Cheryl leaving Zuma

A spy at Zuma restaurant in Knightsbridge said the Girls Aloud star was deep in conversation with two American fellas, who were telling her there was big demand for her on their side of the pond. our mole said: "They were there for a good three hours, and it sounded as if they were talking big bucks to try and entice her over."

Negotiations: Cheryl Cole with minder

When she left the restaurant, Cheryl was in high spirits and asked a group of people for a cigarette. our spy added: "one guy told her she shouldn't smoke as she's too gorgeous, and she started blushing. When she realised a smoke was not forthcoming, she said, 'I better grit my teeth and read my magazines in the car then'."

'Big demand for her' what for, what 'talents'????

Can you let me know when she's going because along with brangelina I would be glad to see the back of her.

Maybe she'll be able to afford her own cigarettes. Seriously asking people on the street - the girl has no class what so ever.

Make the most of this opportunity girl! Choose the best deal and try not to talk about your marriage too much. Ashley is not as hot and influential as David Becks. Its your call...Good luck!

Let's hope she goes and stays there! I guess she'll need other stuff to talk about very soon, as even the most banal gossip mags will not be willing to pay to hear her whining about her so-called "marriage".
