Cheryl Cole could be planning a US comeback after her untimely sacking from the X Factor USA earlier this year.
The Geordie beauty was spotted chatting to R&B heavyweight, Usher during her stay at the Sunset Marquis Hotel, Hollywood.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “The pair were locked in chats for a long while, making notes and talking about music. Both looked really comfortable in each other's company but appeared to be working hard on a secret project.
"Usher was surrounded by his entourage while perched at the terrace bar but he soon ditched his crew to go and sit in private with Cheryl. He was flirting with her but this is Usher - he's known for being a smooth ladies' man."
Cheryl is trying to break America and it is thought her US manger, Will i.am from the Black Eyed Peas set up the meeting with the OMG singer.
