Cole blasts Coyle cellulite reports

Girls Aloud's Cheryl Cole has hit out at the press for "cruelly" highlighting cellulite on bandmate Nadine Coyle's thighs.

The X Factor judge said the media is "irresponsible" in their coverage of female celebrities' weight.

She told Hello!: "There's too much pressure on women of their size these days. Girls are constantly being told they're either too fat or too thin, which is irresponsible."

Cole added that she admires the figures of female stars from Hollywood's golden age.

"Women looked like real women in those days," she noted. "I was reading an old book about Hollywood starlets from the 1950s and loved the photographs inside. You can see the women's true shapes as their pictures were never retouched."
