With The X Factor in full swing, Cheryl Cole is once again maximising her spot on the judging panel by releasing a new album.

This go round it’s ‘Only Human’ – her fourth solo offering. Thus far it’s delivered singles ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ and ‘I Don’t Care’.

Due in November, the set’s official cover was unwrapped today and it appears she’s playfully juxtaposing her “humanness” with her more animal like traits.

And while we can’t say we particularly care for the cover, we can acknowledge how smart Team Cheryl are being with this X Factor return. After all, the one album she released while not on the show – 2012’s ‘A Million Lights’ – was a sales catastrophe — a fact masked only by the success of its lead single ‘Call My Name’ and the solo tour it spurned.

As such, with other promotional platforms to plug her McMusic scarce, her return to the Simon Cowell franchise (despite being publicly axed from the US show) is her best and, arguably, only bet at winning. Especially, given the sogginess of the songs she’s been serving up this era.

In any case, peep the deluxe artwork after the jump…

Famed for her catchy tunes and toned physique, the new mother took to Instagram moments ago to flaunt the return of the latter.

The ‘Promise’ singer gave birth to her first child, Future Zahir Wilburn, back in May and after just four months is rocking rock hard abs again.

Granted the snaps above and below do a solid job of relaying her message, the star added the caption:

After Delivering My Son I Feel Like There’s Nothing I Can’t Do. I Feel Like I Can Conquer The World. #ANewMe #NewMusic. So Proud To Rock #mycalvins 60lbs later!!

She added for the second shot (which you can peep below):

I feel so proud to say that 4 months after delivering a 9 lbs. 10 oz. baby, I can finally rock My Calvin’s! #mycalvins

As the age old adage goes: sex sells.

And it’s a memo Nick Jonas seems to have read and digested.

For, yesterday the 22-year-old became a viral sensation when a racy new photoshoot for Flaunt Magazine spread like wildfire.

The snaps, which – given our family site stance – are a tad too revealing to post (but are easily locatable online) saw the former Jonas Brothers member recreate Mark Walberg’s infamous underwear pose — leaving little to the imagination.

Beyond instantly raising the singer’s profile, the edgy images have raised the chart position of his latest single ‘Jealous’ too.
