Cheryl Cole Has Something to Say About Her Split from Liam Payne (Attention, You Trolls!)

Yes, it’s sad but true:

As reported in detail on The Hollywood Gossip, Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne have broken up.

No one is quite certain just when the split was finalized, but chatter over a split had been running rampant online for multiple months now.

Payne turned these rumors into an unfortunate reality on Instagram Sunday night when he posted the following:

“Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family.”

He then referenced the couple’s son, who was born in March of 2017 and who has both an odd name and a very cute face:

“Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”

No reason was given for the break-up.

So you know what this means, don’t you?

Yup: the Internet was free to print basically anything it wanted to about what transpired between the beautiful Brits.

For whatever reason, talk that Cole’s mother, Joan Callaghan, did not approve of Payne has become a hot topic among celebrity gossip followers.

There have been reports that she drove a wedge between the artist and encouraged them to go their separate ways.

Entering the spotlight in order to address these reports, Cole took the rare step this afternoon of speaking in public about her private life.

“I hate responding to stuff esp at such difficult times but I cannot sit here and listen to such nasty, false articles regarding my mam,” Tweeted Cole to her 6.4 million followers.

She then got to the point, in understandably irritated fashion:

“I don’t know why they involve her in stories about me.

“I can assure you she has absolutely nothing to do with any of it. I am a grown woman who is capable of dealing with my own life.

“She is a soft and kind woman who doesn’t deserve to be dragged into something that has nothing whatsoever to do with her.”

With that, Cheryl Cole dropped the mic.

Figuratively speaking, that is.

The Daily Mail was the main outlet who wrote this morning that Callaghan posed a “problem” in the relationship between her daughter and Liam, writing simply that she got “in the way.”

The attractive and talented singers started dating in 2015.

They rarely discussed their romance in magazines or on social media, but they had been the target of split rumors throughout their relationship, especially toward the end.

Consider what the 24-year old ex-One Direction member said to ES Magazine in March…

“You know, we have our struggles.

“Like, of course I’m not gonna sit here and say that everything’s absolutely fine and dandy, because of course you go through different things, and that’s what a relationship is.”

He elaborated:

“This part of our relationship was never not going to happen; there was always going to be a little bit of tenseness in the way we sort ourselves out. But tell me a relationship in the world that doesn’t go through a spot like that?

“It’s about whether you make it through or not, together, is the main point there, I guess.”

That’s a fair and realistic assessment of a relationship.

But it wasn’t a ringing endorsement for his future with Cole, either.

We somehow have a feeling neither will have trouble finding anyone new.

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole: What? It"s Over?!?!?!?

According to a VERY reliable source, Liam Payne is all set to go in one direction…

… while long-time girlfriend Cheryl Cole goes in another.

Indeed, the gorgeous and adorable couple has ended its two-year romance, dealing quite a blow to fans who were expecting the singers to walk down the aisle at some point.

On Sunday, however, the 24-year-old artist shared the sad news on his Twitter page, writing:

“Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family.

“Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”

Payne and Cole welcomed their son in March of last year.

Liam was also the person who confirmed this blessed event, posting a picture of him and his only child on social media, along with the following announcement:

“My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless… wow!

“I’m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it’s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far.

“I’m completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she’s really made my dreams come true…

“I feel very blessed.”

After the birth of their son, many wondered when Cole and Payne would get married.

But wedding speculation turned into split speculation a few weeks ago.

In February, Cole was asked about rumors of a break-up with the her boyfriend while attending the opening of The Prince’s Trust Cheryl’s Trust Centre in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.

When journalists asked if she was “frustrated” that such chatter could overshadow her charity campaign, the singer avoided the question.

She could have put an end to the rumors with a simple expression of love for Liam at the time.

Instead, Cole said this:

“Do I find it frustrating? No, it doesn’t bother me. My focus is solely on this, it’s taken seven years to get here and none of that matters. This is the most important part for me.”

So… what the heck happened?

We can’t say for certain.

A few outlets have alleged that Cole rejected Payne’s proposal earlier this year and the relationship has been doomed ever since.

The Sun, for example, writes that Payne has wanted to make the relationship official ever since becoming a father.

“Liam is smitten with his little boy and wants things to work between him and Cheryl, so thought talk of marriage was a positive step,” an insider has told this British publication, adding;

“She just doesn’t seem to be thinking in the same sort of way and has made it clear that’s not on the cards at the moment, which he saw as a real snub.”

Liam Payne cradled his newborn son in this precious photo.

We can imagine how awkward this would make any romance.

This same newspaper also explained that Payne may have wanted to marry Cole, but he also wanted to build a successful music career.

And this has kept the stars sort of far apart for awhile.

“The reality is his solo career has been very demanding on his time and Cheryl has spent a lot of time alone as a new mum,” writes The Sun, adding:

“That put pressure on her and the relationship and they drifted apart.”

Darn.

Neither Liam nor Cheryl talked much about their relationship in public during the two years they dated.

So we don’t expect to hear a lot from them now that it’s over.

We just wish each side the very best in all things personal and professional as they moved forward.

Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 25 Recap: Welcome, Cheryl Burke!

Abby Lee Miller was a distant memory on Dance Moms Season 7 Episode 25, and that’s because of Dancing with the Stars pro, Cheryl Burke showed up to take her place. 

When the episode got underway, the mothers found out via social media that Abby Lee Miller had announced her intention to quit the show and it did not go down well with everyone. 

This was especially concerning because nationals were just two weeks away and nobody knew what was going to become of the teams. Jill noted that she was shocked, but she probably knew. 

The coach was facing a stint behind bars because of her tax fraud, so they should have gotten a backup plan in motion before her exit. 

Ashlee continued to play bitter and trashed the dance routine from The Irreplaceables’ performance, and Holly was quick to point out that it was a good one. 

Cheryl Burke appeared and brought along Ryan Ramirez to help sort things out with the girls. The moms knew a lot was riding on them making it through this next competition. 

Cheryl quickly noted that the girls were lacking confidence and chalked it up to what was going on with Abby on social media. Their phones were blowing up because fans were reacting to the news. 

Cheryl wanted the mothers to get on board with the team and stop talking about Abby. The mothers got mad when they heard the other girls were going to the same competition. 

During rehearsals, the other girls were just not feeling it, and it seemed like they just wanted to roll over and give up. Cheryl decided it may be time to demote Kendall because she was not getting the routine. 

The mothers then tried to blame themselves for the way their daughters were acting. Yes, it was terrible and proved just how toxic the environment is on this show. 

Things with the other girls were not good, either. Abby had shunned them and told them they could not use the studio. They managed to reel in Miranda to choreograph for the girls. Stacy then said they should pay tribute to Abby with the performance. 

That would be a good idea if Abby did not ditch them like a hot potato. They called the group routine “We Surrender.” Yes, they want Abby back. 

Ashlee was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Christi and her followers were bashing her on social media. Jamie put it all down to the other moms being scared they win the competition. 

At the competition, Chloe and Nia came in third place for their duet, but Camryn and Kendall secured a first-place finish. Abby’s girls managed a second place finish in the group routine, but The Irreplaceables crated in fifth place. 

Abby then texted Miranda and fired her, but Ashlee and Brynn decided the show was not for them any longer and they departed. What does this mean for the other girls?

Time will tell. 

What did you think of the action?

Cheryl Burke Keeps Trashing Abby Lee Miller (And We Love It!)

A few weeks ago, Cheryl Burke came right out and asked Abby Lee Miller:

How does my shade taste?

The former Dancing with the Stars professional – who will be hosting Dance Moms Season 8 in the wake Miller"s resignation in March – spoke to reporters after making an appearance on her former ABC show and said her new students were left "traumatized" by their time with Miller.

This was partly due to Miller"s personality, and then subsequently due to her prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud.

Now, with Miller set to spend one year behind bars, Burke has returned to ask once again:

Well, Abby?!? How does it taste?!?

Cheryl was a guest this week on The Steve Harvey Show and she reiterated her belief that Dance Moms kids have been traumatized by their experience with Miller.

What will she do differently than the previous host?

"I don’t scream or yell. I don’t believe in that," Burke tells Harvey in the following clip, earning herself applause from the crowd after drawing a clear distinction between herself and Miller.

"I am still strict and stern. I expect the best out of my students, but I do it in a way that’s loving and caring," Burke added of her teaching philosophy.

Miller responded last month to Burke"s claim of trauma by labeling it "ridiculous."

She didn"t take very kindly to the way Burke called her out, telling Us Weekly:

"I think that"s a really rough statement and I would never say that about Cheryl. I think she needs to watch her mouth."

But Burke clearly isn"t too concerned, possibly because there"s only so much Miller will be able to do to her from jail.

"I want their last memories of Dance Moms to be positive," Burke told Harvey. "I want to change their memories a bit."

In other words: I am about to make this show mine all mine and Abby Miller can totally suck it! These kids won"t even remember her name by the time I"m done with them!

What about all the terrible things Miller said about producers when she quit?

Whatever, Burke basically says, describing these executives as "amazing" and saying they"ve been "nothing but a pleasure to work with."

Watch her talk in depth about Miller and continue to hurl ALL the shade in her direction below:

Abby Lee Miller to Cheryl Burke: Watch. Your. Mouth!!!

Abby Lee Miller has been sentenced to over a year in prison.

But the irritating reality star refuses to slink away quietly.

Shocking, right?

Two weeks after a judge told Miller she would need to spend 366 days behind bars, due to her admitted role in a bankruptcy fraud scheme, the ex-Dance Moms host has come out firing against the new Dance Moms host.

Back in March, Miller laid into producers of this long-running Lifetime hit, slamming them as cheap and chauvinistic and quitting her job as star of the popular show.

Just days later, Cheryl Burke was hired to take over on Season 8, which is filming new episodes as we type.

After initially expressing basic excitement over the gig in her first set of public comments since being hired, Burke turned her attention toward Miller herself several days ago.

Speaking to reporters backstage at Dancing with the Stars, Burke said the following about the effect Miller’s sentencing has had on her former students:

“The girls are so precious, and I feel like they are traumatized from what has happened with Abby, and it’s important for me to still be strict and do what I do.”

Added Burke:

“I expect nothing but the best from the girls, but it’s also important for me to make them feel confident about themselves because they are all beautiful and talented.”

Naturally, these words got back to Miller, who did not miss out on an opportunity to stir up a new feud.

“I think it’s a joke,” the 50-year-old choreographer tells Us Weekly, expounding:

“In my studio, every single day, I had numerous producers, [choreographer] Gianna [Martello] and some type of child advocate service person who’s the tutor/social worker who is there, who watches … everything that’s said, everything that goes on.

“So, how could any traumatizing be going on? That’s ridiculous.”

That’s a weird response, isn’t it?

Burke is simply saying that the girls are having some trouble dealing with the fact that their former instructor is going to prison.

As they should be, right? As Miller likely would even want them to be, no?

But Abby isn’t even focused with her ex-pupils in this case.

She’s focused on the woman who is taking her place on Dance Moms and she’s taking Burke’s remarks very personally.

“I think that’s a really rough statement and I would never say that about Cheryl,” Miller tells the aforementioned tabloid. “I think she needs to watch her mouth.”

Or… what?

Miller is going to an actual prison. She will soon be spending actual time behind bars. She isn’t really one to be making threats at the moment.

In closing, the Pittsburgh native also claims that Burke doesn’t have enough experience for her new job.

“Doing a show for three weeks is nothing like doing a show for seven seasons,” Miller says, perhaps forgettign that Burke has competed on 19 seasons of Dancing with the Stars.

In closing on our end, we’d like to say the following:

Miller sucks. A lot.

With her gone, perhaps we actually will watch Dance Moms online on or TV each week to see what Burke brings to the table.

Cheryl Burke to Abby Lee Miller: How"s My Shade Taste?!?

Cheryl Burke is adding insult to Abby Lee Miller’s legal injury.

One week after Miller was sentenced to one year (and one day!) in prison, the woman who will be serving as her replacement on Dance Moms spoke to reporters and didn’t exactly sound sympathetic to Miller’s plight.

Quite the opposite, one could even say.

Asked about her experience taping new Dance Moms episodes so far, Burke opened up while backstage for her performance on Dancing with the Stars last night.

“The girls are so precious, and I feel like they are traumatized from what has happened with Abby, and it’s important for me to still be strict and do what I do,” said Burke.

The former Dancing with the Stars professional signed on as host of Dance Moms Season 8 a few weeks ago, not long after Miller resigned from the position.

“I expect nothing but the best from the girls, but it’s also important for me to make them feel confident about themselves because they are all beautiful and talented,” she added.

Miller quit as the face of Dance Moms in an anger-filled social media post back in late March.

She didn’t mention her impending sentencing for having defrauded the government in a bankruptcy scheme at the time, choosing instead to put producers on blast.

Wrote the short-tempered reality star, in all capital letters on Instagram at the time:

“I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!”

Burke hasn’t said much since accepting the hosting gig earlier this spring.

But she definitely hurled a bit of shade in Miller’s direction with her comments on Monday.

“We wrapped a couple weeks ago, but I think the girls are trying to focus on them[selves],” she said when asked if Miller’s sentencing had any impact on her former students.

She then added:

“I know the moms are not sad about it!”

We would not think so, no, not based on what we saw when we’d watch Dance Moms online and Miller would get into it with the parents each week.

For her part, Burke said there will still be drama with the moms, but she feuds with them “in a different way” than Miller did.

“My mom was a crazy dance mom herself, and the hardest part is to separate from yourself,” she said, explaining:

“If the moms want to be there on the couch talking and gossiping, then that’s fine, but they can’t just barge into my room. They have to ask for permission.”

After admitting the moms get on her “nerves” at times, Burke replied to Miller’s comments that she’ll be “treated differently” by the Dance Moms production team.

“That’s BS! There is no way,” Burke said.

“This was a quick turnaround for them to have me be a part of Dance Moms, and I think everyone has been treated equally on that show.

“It really is about getting the job done, and it’s bigger than numbers and budget and if they can give you a car service. You want to do it for the girls. It depends where your heart is.”

Miller, meanwhile, has made it clear we haven’t seen the last of her.

In a pre-sentencing interview, the annoying ex-host teased the strong possibility of a new reality series once she’s a free woman.

How is she feeling about all that impending time behind bars?

“I feel relieved. I feel peaceful,” she told reporters a few days ago, concluding:

“There’s a few physical limitations, dietary limitations [in prison], of course, but it’ll be OK.

“It’s a realm of the world I know nothing about. I just know what I know and I do the best I can…

“I know that I didn’t make the right decisions all the time. I think [the punishment’s] just begun.”

Cheryl Burke on Dance Moms: I Broke The Curse!

Now that everyone has had some time to let it sink in that Abby Lee Miller is parting ways with Dance Moms, her replacement, Cheryl Burk took to Instagram in a revealing post. 

Her most recent post could have had a dozen meanings, but we kind of think it could be a dig at the outgoing dance teacher.

The above picture has Chloe Lukasiak, Camryn Bridges, Nia Sioux and Reagan Martin looking dressed up for one of the latest competitions on the veteran reality series. 

“Broke the Curse #dancemoms,” Cheryl boldly captioned the snap. Without more context, it’s difficult to know exactly what the heck Burke is going on about.

It could all be innocent, but when you consider how strained Abby’s relationship with the girls has been in the past, maybe Burke wants to let the world know she is on much better terms with them.

In another picture, Burke and Lukasiak look cute with dogs snouts. Yes, they should be dancing, but at least they are not bickering.

“Puppy love,” the Dancing with the Stars pro captioned. 

It was confirmed last month that Abby Lee Miller was quitting the Lifetime reality series in a scathing rant at the producers of the series. 

It reads as follows:

The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement:

I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS.

FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING – TO NO AVAIL!

TODAY, I WAS SO PROUD THAT I WENT AGAINST THE PRODUCER’S IDEA (ONCE AGAIN) TO ENTER A COMMAND PERFORMANCE OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS… “WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?”

ALONG WITH THREE BEAUTIFUL SOLOS!

I don’t have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people’s children successful!

I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!

Abby continued to trash the show on social media and interviews, branding the show as fake and claiming the budget was horrible. 

If you watch Dance Moms online, you will already know that Abby is not exactly portrayed as the nicest of women. Whether that will be the same edit given to Cheryl is another story. 

What do you think about all of this?

Abby Lee Miller Blasts Dance Moms Producers, Says THIS About Cheryl Burke

Abby Lee Miller will not be ignored.

When it comes to the long-time Dance Moms host, there’s one thing on which we can all likely agree:

She sucks so very much.

No, wait, that’s not it.

She’s outspoken. That’s what we meant to write the first time.

In the wake of her abrupt and angry departure from Dance Moms, Miller has accepted invitations from basically every media outlet, clearly anxious to talk more at length about her decision to leave the Lifetime series.

“You just get to a point where you can’t take it anymore and I have been at that point for at least a year,” Miller told Kit Hoover of Access Hollywood on Wednesday night, adding in their interview that she grew “fed up” with how she was treated by producers.

“It’s not about the money,” Miller continued.

“It’s about the respect. It’s about the trust… I don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that, I just want somebody to say, ‘Wow, you’ve done a great job."”

In her epic Instagram rant on Monday, Miller cited fights she would often get into with executives over the show’s budget.

She has since mentioned how difficult it was for her to get simple costume ideas approved.

“Wait until Cheryl Burke deals with [no costume budget],” she told Entertainment Tonight of her confirmed replacement, adding of Burke and her history:

“At Dancing With the Stars, they have two floors — an entire building of seamstresses sewing, rhinestoning, fringe — she’s going to have to run downtown to Santee Alley and buy something off the street in her own car, at 4:30 in rush hour traffic after we wrap, when everything is closing, because that’s what I did for six years.”

We’ll write more about Miller in a moment, after we break out some violins and play a few pitiful notes in her honor…

We understand frustration in any job.

Miller is certainly allowed to complain about various aspects of hosting Dance Moms and, heck, she’s very welcome to walk away.

But she was also made very rich and very famous by the show and now she’s facing possibly jail time as a result of a bankruptcy fraud scheme to which she pleaded guilty last year.

It doesn’t seem like the ideal time for her to be putting producers on blast.

“This was a long time coming for me,” she told People Magazine in yet another interview, however. “Nobody knew. I was just so irate.”

The reality star explained to this publication that the “last straw” came at a competition when one of the program’s producers supposedly staged drama in front of unpaid families who were attending.

This is what she said about that incident, from her point of view:

I had about 50 kids and their families at the competition that are not on a TV show and don’t get paid. They were paying to be there!

They’re all there and the producer … has this psycho crazy woman – who I’ve never seen, never talked to, never met her – stalking me through the audience stating things like, ‘All your team left you. They want nothing to do with you.’ In front of 50 families from my studio.

He can’t understand why that would anger me! It’s absolutely nuts. That was the last straw for me.

In her chat with Entertainment Tonight, Miller was quick to compliment Burke as “great,” saying the show will have a different “vibe” with Burke in charge.

Her beef is clearly with those behind the scenes, not with the woman coming on to Season 8 and taking her place.

“They know how to push my buttons but it’s gone beyond that, to the point where it is so offensive as a woman,” Miller said of the producers.

“I think it’s detrimental to my health, to my mental health, to everything. It’s awful. There’s no privacy, there’s no respect.”

But would she ever return?

Some critics believe this is all a negotiating ploy by Miller.

She’s due to be sentenced for her financial crimes this spring and may be angling for a return if she can avoid prison time.

“Never say never,” Miller told People about the possibility of going back. “It just sickens me when people get creative credit with our ideas.

“A lot of things would have to change. Just the way they pull things out of their butts the last minute and it makes the costuming exhausting. They want me to come to meetings, pre-production, but on my own dime…

“There are certain aspects of the creativity, working in the studio creating and developing a dancer – I’m going to miss that.”

Good riddance to Abby Lee Miller, we say.

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole: When Will They Get Married?

First comes love? Then comes marriage? Then comes a baby in a baby carriage?

Try telling that to Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole.

The gorgeous couple has gone the non-traditional route with its romance, falling for each other and then having a baby… all without a single knot being tied.

Indeed, last week, Cole gave birth to a baby boy, providing the stars with their very first child together; and giving Payne a chance to gush over the newborn online.

“My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless… wow!” the singer wrote as a caption to the precious photo down below.

He added on Instagram:

“I’m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it’s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far.

“I’m completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she’s really made my dreams come true.

“We haven’t named him yet but he’s already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed.”

AWWWWW, right?!?

Now, however, with the baby squared away and their relationship having been taken to a new level, fans are starting to wonder when it will be taken to yet another new level.

As in:

When will Payne and Cole get married?!?

According to an OK! Weekly source, the special event may take place in the somewhat near future, although Cole is in no rush because she’s already been wed twice (to Ashley Cole and then to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini).

“Because this will be her third marriage, Cheryl doesn’t want a circus,” an insider tells the tabloid, adding of Cole’s dream nuptial scenario:

“She’d rather have just close friends and family. She’d also love the baby to be sitting on their laps in the wedding photos.”

Payne, however, “would still like a huge celebration,” a different source tells Closer Magazine, explaining:

“He wants to shout about their wedding from the rooftop.”

Well, yeah. Isn’t that how you’d feel if you were going to marry Cheryl Cole?!?

More reserved than her rumored husband-to-be, Cole shared the same photo of Payne and her brand new son above, writing as a straightforward caption at the time:

“On Wednesday Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy looking like a dream.”

Despite their global popularity, which is off the proverbial charts in Great Britain, Cole and Payne are a pretty private twosome.

Good luck finding a photo of them out and about at a movie premiere together or even walking down the stree, holding hands together.

We’d imagine their spend even less time in the spotlight now that they have a little one at home, too.

Still, The Daily Star quotes a friend who is confident Liam will propose one of these days. He’s just waiting for the perfect moment.

“There will definitely be wedding bells sooner than we expected,” this newspaper writes.

How romantic!

Cheryl Burke: Taking Over for Abby Lee Miller on Dance Moms!

Lifetime has found a pretty big name to replace Abby Lee Miller as host of Dance Moms.

As previously announced, by Miller herself, the long-time reality show will look very different on Season 8.

Following an especially tumultuous run of episodes, along with serious turmoil in her personal life, Miller cursed off producers and resigned as host of the series on Monday morning.

But the series had already been picked up for an eighth season and the network has been adamant that it will simply move on without Miller.

According to a follow-up report by Entertainment Tonight, celebrity choreographer Laurieann Gibson was brought in as an emergency replacement at the outset of Season 8 after Miller abruptly left right before filming began.

Gibson will not be the permanent host, however.

This same news outlet has confirmed that Cheryl Burke will take over to close out the final four Season 8 episodes.

Burke, of course is best known for having been a professional Dancing with the Stars contestant for 19 seasons.

She is not competing on the ABC program this spring, however.

Without delving into specifics on Instagram, Miller WENT OFF on Dance Moms and those behind the camera this week.

It was an epic social media rant, one filled with many capital letters to represent her angry mood at the time.

“The majority of children that follow me may be fast asleep, however now is the critical time to make the following statement: I WILL NO LONGER TAKE PART IN DANCE MOMS,” Miller wrote.

She went on to sort of explain:

FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS/ SEVEN SEASONS I HAVE ASKED, BEGGED, AND EVEN DEMANDED CREATIVE CREDIT FOR ALL THE IDEAS, AWARD WINNING ROUTINES, THEMES, AND COSTUMING – TO NO AVAIL!

I don’t have a problem working with any kid, I love children and have dedicated my life to making other people’s children successful!

I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING MANIPULATED, DISRESPECTED, AND USED – DAY IN AND DAY OUT BY MEN WHO NEVER TOOK A DANCE LESSON IN THEIR LIVES AND TREAT WOMEN LIKE DIRT!

Well…alright then!

It had been previously reported that Miller often clashed with producers over such issues as costumes and budget on the show.

She also has been clashing with the U.S. legal system for years, entering a plea of guilty last year to multiple counts of bankruptcy fraud.

After filing for Chapter 11, Miller admits that she hid assets from the government, most notably a six-figure salary she earned as host of two Lifetime show.

She hasn’t exactly expressed much remorse over these illegal actions, though, even joking to ET that she could use a little “vacation” after all she’s suffered through.

The reality star doesn’t seem like a very nice person.

View Slideshow: 27 Reality Stars Who Should Never Be On TV Again

An ET source tells the site that Miller has been “spiraling” of late and “making decisions that most people would think are not smart.”

Quitting a show that paid her a lot of money, just as she’s maybe about to go to jail and lose all her income, is likely a good example.

Miller was originally scheduled to be sentenced for her financial crimes on February 24.

However, that hearing has been pushed back, probably until May, according to multiple insiders.

Are you sad to see Miller leave Dance Moms? Do you think Burke is a quality replacement?

Will you be tuning in to Season 8?

Or, in your mind, is Dance Moms simply an Abby Lee Miller vehicle and there’s no point in watching if she isn’t involved?

Liam Payne & Cheryl Cole Welcome First Child!

There’s officially a new member of the One Direction Dads’ Club!

Liam Payne took to Instagram moments ago to confirm that he and girlfriend Cheryl Cole have welcomed a baby boy.

It’s the first child for both.

Payne confirmed the news by posting the photo above, along with a heartfelt message praising his loved ones and fans for their continued support:

‘My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless… wow! I’m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it’s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far.

“I’m completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she’s really made my dreams come true.

He added that the child does not yet have a name, writing:

“We haven’t named him yet but he’s already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed.”

Cole posted the same photo to her own social media accounts along with the following caption:

“On Wednesday, 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream.

“Although he still doesn’t have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival.”

She added:

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever.”

Yes, tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the UK, and little As-Yet-Unnamed arrived just in time the make the occasion all the more special to Cheryl.

After meeting when he auditioned for The X Factor back in 2010, Cole and Payne began dating last spring.

The early days of their romance were marred by controversy, as it was widely rumored that Cole had left her husband for Payne, who’s ten years her junior.

(1D fans tend to scrutinize their favorite lads’ love lives just a bit.)

Just six months later, rumors that Cole was pregnant with Payne’s baby began to circulate on social media.

Just last month, Cole debuted her baby bump in public for the first time, and now she and the boy band beau are parents to a bouncing baby boy!

Our sincerest congrats go out to Liam and Cheryl!

Cheryl Cole Debuts Baby Bump, Confirms Liam Payne Pregnancy

Let there be no more debate.

Let there be no more discussion and no more questions over the status of Cheryl Cole’s womb.

The singer herself has come out and confirmed the miraculous news: She and Liam Payne are expecting a baby!!!!!

Rumors of Cole being pregnant first made the Internet rounds in October.

There wasn’t a ton of evidence behind the reports at the time, however, just the sighting of Cheryl’s mother buying a few pregnancy items in Great Britain, along with the belief that Cole was seen out in a loose-fitting outfit in order to hide her growing belly.

In January, however, the pregnancy chatter grew a lot stronger… thanks to Niall Horan.

Asked about the his One Direction friend’s alleged bundle of impending joy in an interview, Horan seemingly slipped up and said he’s “looking forward to meeting” Payne’s baby.

“Liam hasn’t said he nervous, but I’m sure he is,” Horan said, firmly planting his foot deeply into his mouth at the time and adding:

“I bet he can’t wait as well. It is a very exciting thing in your life.. He’s great and she’s lovely, it will be a lovely child.”

But now we have 100% confirmation that Cole and Payne truly are expecting.

It’s not based anything Cole’s mother has done or anything Horan has said. It’s based on the following photo:

We’re pretty sure that’s a Cheryl Cole baby bump, aren’t you?!?

Indeed, following months of widespread speculation and total silence from the parents-to-be, the X-Factor U.K. judge debuted her precious tummy in a photo shoot for L’Oreal and The Prince’s Trust.

In a photograph published by The Daily Mirror, Cheryl wraps her arms around her stomach while rocking a black, long sleeve dres over her body.

As you can see above and below, she’s smiles softly for the camera – and for good reason!

She’s going to be a mother!

Cole is 33 and Payne is 23. Both are very attractive and this will be their first child.

The One Direction star began dating Cole about a year ago, confirming their relationship three months later at a charity gala.

The artists met on the set of The X Factor in 2008 after Liam auditioned for the series, the first step in Payne’s path to global prominence as a member of One Direction.

He is yet to speak on the little boy or girl who looks as if he or she will enter the world any week now, at least based on this photo of Cole.

Once Payne becomes a father, he’ll be the second member of his beloved boy group to become an expert at diaper-changing and bottle-feeding.

Just over a year ago, Louis Tomlinson welcomed a baby with past lover Briana Jungwirth.
