Fergie thinks Cheryl Cole can be as big as Madonna…
Black Eyed Peas leading lady Fergie has revealed that she thinks Cheryl Cole could become so famous, she could ‘rule the world.’
“She is such a good friend. But I don’t think she has quite got her head around how big she is going to be. My girl really can rule the world. I have already heard crazy things like Robert De Niro wants to make movies with her and that Jay-Z wants to work with her.
Within five years we could be talking about Cheryl on the same level as we go Madonna or Mariah Carey.”
Macy’s sees 4.8% Sept. same-store sales gain
This year’s back-to-school season was one of the best in years for Macy’s Inc., sending same-store sales up 4.8 percent in September.
Same-store sales are sales at stores open at least a year. Total sales at Cincinnati-based Macy’s (NYSE:M) rose 6.9 percent in September to $2.18 billion from $2.04 billion in the same period a year ago.
CEO Terry Lundgren said in a press release that the successful back-to-school season was helped by strong results from its new juniors line from Madonna and its American Rag private brand. The company also launched Kenneth Cole Reaction men’s sportswear brand and will soon roll out an exclusive Sean John men’s sportswear line as well.
So far this year, total sales are up 7 percent to $14.9 billion. Same-store sales are up 5 percent. Macy’s online sales are up 29 percent in September and about 30 percent year to date, the company said.

Robert Linhart, 59, was arrested twice outside her Central Park West pad last month for making graffiti, resisting arrest, and having a gravity knife, an ice pick and a billy club, according to court records.
Linhart’s lawyer, Justine Luongo, claimed that because the grand jury was only asked to consider a weapons rap, prosecutors had effectively dropped all charges related to Madonna.
Prosecutors said that even though Linhart declared he wasn’t going to stop until he met Madonna, the case does not rely any perceived threat to her.
