Check her out: Cheryl Cole has a cameo role in UK version of Will.i.am's new track Check It Out
We're more used to seeing her pull brooding expressions in her videos.
But Cheryl Cole has dropped her intense face for a decidedly cheesy one as she makes a cameo appearance on her pal Will.i.am's new track, Check It Out.
The video also features hot new American export Nicki Minaj, who is being bigged up as the next hot act to come out of the States.
The song samples the 1979 hit Video Killed The Radio Star and sees Cheryl prancing around in a tight corset and sleek leather leggings.
Her LA look is topped off with a golden tan, long hair extensions and the 27-year-old X Factor judge pulls a series of funny faces too.
At first it was thought Cheryl's Black Eyed Peas friend Will.i.am was helping to boost her profile in the States, with rumours swirling she has signed a £6m record deal with Universal.

But Cheryl will only feature on and lend her vocals to the UK version of the video.
Of course it's not the first time she has collaborated with Will.iam. He has worked with her on both of her albums and duetted on hits including 3 Words.
She was first paired with him back in 2009 on his Heartbreaker song.
Minaj will release her debut album Pink Friday on November 19, with Check It Out being one of the songs on the EP.
