Cheryl Cole has angered fans after charging £350 for a meet and greet session on her UK tour.
The huge price of the package gets people a ticket to one of her shows, a photo and one item signed.
The offer was taken down from TicketWeb last night (12.06.12) after the Daily Star called Cheryl's representatives to investigate.
One twitter user, Kurstie Martin, from Essex, wrote: ''£350 for a M&G with Cheryl Cole! After the jubilee disaster I wouldn't pay £3.50! No 1 is that special u should have 2 pay 2 meet them #Please.''
Cheryl Gerhard added: ''As much as I like Cheryl, £350 for a M&G is TOO much and not nice at all.''
Amy Farrent, of tour promoters LiveNation, told the publication: ''I think Rihanna's were a similar price.''
Other fans pointed out 'The Voice' judge Jessie J, 24, had charged just £110 in comparison for meet and greet tickets.
Cheryl's spokesman Sundraj Sreenivasan said he did not know anything about the offer however after contacting the 'Call My Name' star's management he assured customers that their money was going to a good cause.
He said: ''All profits from the meet and greets go to the Cheryl Cole Foundation.''
"If you think my live vocal sounds so good it must be mimed, I'm happy. I take it as a compliment," these were the thoughts of Cheryl Cole as she sat down an interview with the Bbc in which she deals dismissively with comments made by both Louis Walsh and Cher Lloyd in separate spats about her ability to sing live.
Cole made her television comeback on 'The Voice' in the UK at the weekend, a performance that largely seemed to go down well, and the star is looking towards her new album 'A Million Lights,' commenting "It's been a long time coming, but I think it's the best work I've done." However Cole only appears on the song writing credits for two of the 11 tracks, something she attempted to justify by saying "Every record I've made, there are songs I've written that I haven't put out because... well, I don't want to. I write for my own pleasure sometimes."
Comparing the year-long recording process to the one she undertook with Girls Aloud, Cole explained "With Girls Aloud, Brian [Higgins, producer] had a very unique way of recording. We'd all just be hanging out in a lounge while another girl went out to record six, seven songs. Then the next girl... and the next girl. Then he'd go through every vocal and choose which one sat best in every part of the song. We wouldn't know how it was going to sound until he delivered it - which was actually quite fun."
What do you think? Can she sing live or not??
Cheryl Cole thinks she could never be like Rihanna.
The 28-year-old pop star confessed she wouldn't be able to be as blunt as the outspoken 24-year-old 'Where Have You Been?' singer.
She told Attitude: ''Rihanna is a free spirit and doesn't care if she calls somebody a **** on her Twitter. But there are 12-year-old girls on there.
Cheryl, whose parents separated when she was 11, insisted that she prefers to be nice to people and set a good example to youngsters.
She added: ''I didn't grow up with a role model so it's nice to be somebody's guide.''
She also revealed she will never speak about how and why she was fired from 'The X Factor' USA last year.
She said: ''That show can drive anybody mental. I haven't said anything about 'X Factor' USA from that day to this.
''Why? Boring. It's year-old news. I've made a whole new album since then.''
Also in the interview with the gay magazine, out tomorrow (29.05.12) she claimed she is now so famous that simple things like going to the supermarket are just impossible.
She giggled: ''I shop online. Do you want us to try the grocer's? If I could go to the supermarket the first aisle I'd go to would be the pampering section, the smellies, the nice smelling stuff.''
She's gearing up for the June 18th release of her third studio album, A Million Lights, and, as part of the promotions, Cheryl Cole took over the cover of the June 2012 issue of British GQ magazine.
The 28-year-old English pop star oozed sexiness for the Mariano Vivanco shot spread while opening up about topics including her yearning for a husband and children, as well as her soft spot for Prince Harry.
With the issue set to hit newsstands on May 3rd, highlights from Miss Cole's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to British GQ!
On her desire to find a husband and have children:
"I'd love kids. I'm obsessed with babies. Of course I've thought about baby names. A million times. I like (the name) Alfie for a little boy. I know that is what I was put on Earth to do - to be a mother."
On Simon Cowell having reached out to her to make amends after her 'X Factor' firing:
“It felt great, actually. When I landed back in England there was a message from Simon, saying ‘Hello, Cheryl. So, now that you’ve blown me up in Afghanistan, can we talk?’ I’m not one of those people who holds a grudge.”
On her soft spot for Prince Harry:
"I think he's amazing and I think you can relate to him because he's made mistakes. He's cool. Although, I think I would be Cougarville in that relationship."
On missing intimacy now that she's a single lady:
"I am a woman and I like sex."
