Cheryl Cole makeup less Photo: So here’s an image of Cheryl Cole without makeup which has been causing a bit of a row round our end.The basic debate is this: is her fitness overrated or not? Now for my money, this is just an unfortunate picture. She was photographed pretty much constantly since her first year as a celeb, at all times of day, and pictures like this are few and far between. Well here’s a pic from more recently.

Now looking at this where she doesn’t seem to be wearing makeup (though I am prepared for girls to have a go at my naivety over this), she still looks far better than average and likely to be the best looking girl on any given street. You just can’t argue with her fitness surely! Still lots of people…including some here at TMM…reckon she’s not all that hot.

I dont even think she is the slightest bit attractive. To much make-up covering up just how unattractive she is.
Skankier than a skanks skanky knicker draw!

This is just one comment from the many of hundreds of threads out there. But to quote Pete Waterman when judging her first Pop Stars: The Rival auditions “You’d have to be dead to not think she was stunning…MY GOD”. Maybe the problem is this…she sets the bar so high on the X Factor that when she is seen without makeup its the flaws that draw the eye.

As a disclaimer I’d like to point I’m not in love with Cherly Cole (Will.i.am is doing a good enough job of the love sick puppy for all of us) – in fact I think she’s become a pretty humourless character. The tide does seem to be turning against her a little in the media more generally too – but let’s not starting saying peole are ugly when they are clearly hot as! Kimberley Walsh will always be the one for us though.
