There’s only one ruff thing in this picture – and it’s not CHERYL COLE. Check out her pooch as she left the X Factor studio – anything to distract us from the spray-on jeans, eh? One thing I do love about Cheryl is her new single 3 Words – and its video. But I’m even more excited by the prospect of a live performance pencilled in for the ITV1 show on December 12. JANET JACKSON wants to duet with the X Factor judge after watching her sing Fight For This Love.

My source tells me: “Janet’s people are trying to make it happen. If there is time to rehearse – it’s likely to be a big Janet hit.” And my source adds: “When X Factor finishes Cheryl will try for chart success in the States.

“Her people think it would be a great start for her.”
