Cheryl Cole has had quite a hectic summer thus far, and she's finally speaking out to assure her fans she's doing just fine!
Cole was fired from her judging gig at the American X Factor after only four days (her heavy English accent and lack of chemistry with other judges were to blame) and it has recently been revealed she's been uninvited to the biggest event of the season; the Santa Barbara charity polo match being held in honor of Prince William and Kate Middleton when they visit LA next month.
Apparently the Girls Aloud singer was planning to make her comeback at the ultra-exclusive star studded event for the Royals, but her invitation to the party was withdrawn following her firing from the U.S. X Factor, it has been reported.
Double ouch.
Still, Cole took to her blog to thank her fans for their support, expressing:
"Where do i start? I have had the weirdest past few weeks (nothing unusual there though.) I wouldn't even know how to begin to tell you all about it. What I do know for certain is that I have the BEST, most unbelievable people out there, who I feel so lucky to call my support system. I have been reading your letters and opening my prezzies ( I feel very spoilt ) and hearing all of your kind, special and inspiring things you want to say to me."
Cole went on to say she is thankful for all the free time she has been given (she turned down the offer to return to her old job on the UK X Factor) and it sounds like she's grateful to get some much-needed downtime.
Britain's Sweetheart reveals: "I have not had in so long to just chill with my loved ones and do the normal things that I like to do. See my friends and family and be with my doggys :D. It feels long overdue and sooooo good, even my feet are happy to not have to wear a pair of high heels hehe."
Stay positive, Cheryl!

The definition of Fergilious ...
Fergilicious means wearing motocross biker-inspired leather pants with super-high platform heels, sharp-as-knives nails with black moon manicure, spiky rings, an animal-print blouse with a cropped leather vest, Jackie-O shades and a bi-color Hermes bag at LAX!
The Black Eyed Peas singer headed to Paris Saturday in this wild get-up. How much you think it cost to put this look together including the bag? $20,000? $50,000? All to hop on a plane!

You better get him home, Pete -- poor Bronx looks like he's so hungry he's gonna eat the pizza box!
This adorable father-son pair spent some quality time together enjoying thin crust pepperoni the day before Father's Day while mom Ashlee Simpson was enjoying some solo time.

Apparently Katie Holmes forgot daughter Suri's bathing suit because the five-year-old went swimming in her pretty floral dress Saturday in Miami.
Meanwhile, mom Katie was bikini clad but kept her hot pink jean shorts on with her maroon halter, showing off a super-tight stomach.
The pair are in town with dad Tom Cruise as he shoots Rock of Ages in which he plays an aging rocker with long hair and abs as tight as Katie's! If you haven't seen the first shot of Cruise in character, CLICK HERE - you don't wanna miss it!

AFP/UNHCR, Jason Tanner
Angelina Jolie, acting in her capacity as an ambassador for the UN High Commission for Refugees, visited a Syrian refugee camp in Turkey Friday and a camp for Tunisian and Libyan refugees in Lampedusa, Italy on Saturday in honor of World Refugee Day.
The actress thanked Italians today for opening their doors to more than 40,000 displaced citizens since the beginning of the year.
Jolie said to reporters: "We've spoken about our shared concerns about making sure asylum claims are processed as quickly as possible so no one is sitting in a prison-like situation and waiting on a decision about their status. They are not asking to go to any particular country, they just want to find safety to work and to have freedom."
Below is video of Jolie's visit in Turkey on Friday ...

Does this little girl love her mommy or what!
Little Honor took design advice from her mom Jessica Alba Friday when the two stopped by Color Me Mine to paint pottery. And as they left and walked Beverly Drive, Honor admired her mommy again and held tight to her hand.
Hope Jess' daughter doesn't get too jealous of her sibling soon to come!

You don't get a bod like Twilight star Ashley Greene's without a little work!
The 24-year-old went makeup-free to the gym Friday, in a black muscle-T and tight spandex pants and we LOVE this look, not only because she looks hot, but because it shows she's healthy and not afraid to break a sweat!
