Cheryl Cole joins Twitter

After countless fake accounts and many spoofs, Cheryl Cole has finally, officially joined Twitter.

The account has already amassed over 20,000 followers without writing a single tweet.

The profile for the account, @cherylcole, reads: "dont believe everything you read....except what you read here! news and updates direct from Cheryl and her team. (sic)"

The account has been verified by Twitter, confirming its official status.

The singer celebrated her 28th birthday last night at the Sanderson Hotel in London's Fitzrovia and showed off a new blonde bob hairdo. It was her first public appearance since she was booted off of ‘The X Factor’ USA.
