HAVE you heard? There could be a new gossip girl joining the Desperate Housewives for a *Female Dog* and a natter over coffee on Wisteria Lane.
Susan, Gaby, Lynette, Bree... I'd like you to meet Chezza, who is being lined up for a part in the smash hit TV drama.
Why'aye pets - the Geordie singer is being targeted for a role in the show as she starts to set up her second life in America.
TERI HATCHER, who plays sexy suburban mum Susan in the Channel 4 hit, is lobbying producers to give X Factor judge CHERYL COLE a role lasting several episodes in the upcoming seventh season.
Catapult
The part would catapult her to fame in the US and she'd follow in the footsteps of another UK talent show judge, JOHN BARROWMAN. He won rave reviews for his role as evil Patrick Logan in the last series of Desperate Housewives.
In an eXSclusive interview, Teri told me: "Cheryl is a great role model and exactly the sort of woman we would love to have a role on Desperate Housewives.
"Season seven is going to be a really great series and if she is fit enough I think it would be great to have her in a guest role for two or three episodes.
"With her looks she could cause some real trouble in Wisteria Lane.
"I am sure she would raise a few eyebrows from the residents there but in real life I hear she is an absolute darling and I think we would all get on so well."
But Teri wants the GIRLS ALOUD star to play a part far from her usual personality.
She added: "Cheryl is a really sweet, cute looking girl, so I think it would be really fun for her to play real trouble. Playing the *Female Dog* is always more fun I find.
"I am going to speak to the producer and get her involved if she wants, we would have great fun."
I reckon Cheryl just HAS to follow up on Teri's offer and join the ladies (FELICITY HUFFMAN, MARCIA CROSS, EVA LONGORIA PARKER). Desperate Housewives is one of my favourite shows and it's watched by nearly 20 million Americans every week.
And now she's trying to launch herself in the US for real after her split from ASHLEY COLE it's just the sort of exposure she needs.
I've been told Cheryl, who's still recovering from malaria, plans to spend the next month in the States laying the groundwork for her to spend even more time there next year after The X Factor.
She is even considering moving the filming of the judges' houses round of the show there, despite being told she should rest up in the UK until the end of August.
And she will definitely head back into the recording studio to continue work on her second album. A source revealed: "This is a key trip for Cheryl. She's starting to view America as her second home. She couldn't just sit around in her house in the UK.
"It was too depressing for her. This is all about moving forward with her life."
Cheryl is going to great lengths not to be spotted with close friend DEREK HOUGH.
He smuggled Chez out of the London Hotel in a blacked-out people carrier to the nearby Sunset Marquis at around 3am on Friday morning in a military-style operation.
Come on guys, the game is up. Who cares if you're pictured together? You're both single after all...
