"Cheryl Cole is reportedly being rushed into elocution lessons to prepare for her rumoured role on The X Factor USA. While her judging position remains unconfirmed, The Mirror claims that Cole - who flew out to Los Angeles yesterday - has worried bosses who fear that viewers will not understand what she says. The TV regulator Standards and Practices will monitor the series closely for breaches of rules, which includes the audience not being able to understand what is said. The 27-year-old will apprently work with Hollywood voice coash Bob Corff before meeting with executives at the Fox network.  &amp;quot;If audiences and contestants can\u00E2\u20AC\u2122t understand her it is actually a \u00C2\u00ADregulatory offence,&amp;quot; a source told the paper. &amp;quot;Cheryl will be told not to use the word &amp;#039;babe&amp;#039; to describe a pretty girl. Other key words she&amp;#039;s being taught include a &amp;#039;hard I&amp;#039; for words such as vitamin, saying &amp;#039;pants&amp;#039; and not &amp;#039;trousers&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;butt&amp;#039; not &amp;#039;bum&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;cookies&amp;#039; not &amp;#039;biscuits&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;Another key concern is her Geordie pronunciation of the vowel &amp;#039;u&amp;#039;. Americans pronounce it &amp;#039;oo&amp;#039; - as in &amp;#039;tooning&amp;#039;. They also want to clamp down on her saying &amp;#039;pet&amp;#039; which literally means &amp;#039;animal&amp;#039; in the States.&amp;quot; The insider added: &amp;quot;When Ant and Dec had their flop US show Wanna Bet?, an elocution teacher was off camera at all recordings to pick them up on language problems. The same will happen to Cheryl, but the live stages mean she needs to be right on the money.&amp;quot; Simon Cowell is said to have said Cole on a \u00C2\u00A3500,000 ($808,151) deal - despite network reservations because she is unknown in the country. &amp;quot;These are very exciting times ahead for Cheryl and her trip to LA this week will start setting a lot of balls in motion,&amp;quot; a second source said. &amp;quot;She has a very busy schedule with lots of meetings planned. It&amp;#039;s fair to say that the charm offensive starts now and she&amp;#039;s determined to make the most of the amazing opportunity given to her. Clearly, she hopes to see a lot of Derek [Hough] too but her priority is very much work and he understands that.&amp;quot; The X Factor USA auditions kick off in Los Angeles on March 27. &amp;gt; Cheryl Cole launches charity foundation "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
