Coyle: 'Cheryl will dictate Aloud reunion'
Nadine Coyle has revealed that Cheryl Cole will decide when Girls Aloud reform.
The 'Insatiable' star admitted that Cole's success away from the band means a reunion will ultimately be dictated by her.
"Cheryl's success is a point for all the rest of us to consider from our own points of view," she told i-D Magazine.
"We've got to be realistic about what has happened to Cheryl over the last couple of years."
Coyle also revealed that the money required to reform the band could affect their return, admitting that their hair budget alone went "through the roof".
She added: "The money that would need to be invested in it is another factor.
"Between the five of us the hair budget alone was enough to feed a small country. It was through the roof!
"I think we bought our hairdresser an entire extension on the back of her house on one album campaign. If she wasn’t driving a Bentley then she should have been."
Coyle's bandmate Nicola Roberts recently insisted that there would be no Girls Aloud record "anytime soon".

Director David Lynch turns music man, releases two singles to iTunes
The film auteur with perhaps one of the most singular visions in the history of movie-making (splendor in the grass!) has now turned his attentions from cinema, dharma, and daily weather reports to music. Specifically, “modern blues,” according to an L.A. Times report.
“We’re working on a lot of things, and we hope to have an album soon,” Lynch says. “All of this to me is an experiment. We were calling it kind of a modern blues — music based on the blues. It’s led to all sorts of different things, but I really want to do a modern blues album.”
“There’s nothing I can say in terms of what the rules are, but there is a feel,” Lynch added. “It has to be anchored in something strong and pure, and it’s modern in that it’s joining with all the things you can do these days in ProTools.”
“The advancement in digital things means there’s a whole slew of possibilities,” he continued. “I love organic phenomena. I love the real, rough sound of blues. I love a heavy guitar and great, strong drums. Then there’s so many things that can be done to it that will modernize it.”
Lynch, who also collaborated on the Dark Night of the Soul project with Dangermouse and the late Sparklehorse, has signed to England’s Sunday Best label; he plans to release a full album, recorded with his longtime film engineer Dean Hurley. As of today, the tracks “Good Day Today” and “I Know” are available on iTunes. Sample the woozy electro ditty “Good Day” after the jump:
In the meantime, Lynch will continue to work behind the camera; he’s currently working on a documentary on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of Transcendental Meditation.

Black Eyed Peas to Perform at Super Bowl
There's going to be a bit of pop culture injected into the Super Bowl Halftime Show for the first time in years, as the Black Eyed Peas will be the main performers during the big game.
It was announced on Thursday during the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game that Fergie, Will.i.Am and the rest of the BEP crew will rock the house on February 6 in Dallas. There's no word on what songs the Peas will perform, but it's easy to assume that 'I Gotta Feeling' will be in the mix.
The addition of BEP to the Super Bowl bucks the recent trend of featuring safer and older performers following the fallout of Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" during 2004's Super Bowl. Looking to go the safer route, the Super Bowl has mostly settled for tamer artists of late. The last three performances, in reverse chronological order, have been: The Who, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.
Something tells us that given the atmosphere, 'My Humps' might not make the cut.
