Oh noes!! This is horrible!!

A young woman in England was beyond excited to see One Direction perform last night — and who wouldn't be — but her magical evening was cut shockingly short!!

As she neared Newcastle's Metro Arena, probably humming What Makes You Beautiful, a truck HIT HER!

Ugh!! Poor girl!! She was sooo close to the concert venue, too!

Thankfully, the 16-year-old girl was looked over by doctors and quickly released from the hospital.

Unfortunately, Harry, Louis, and the rest of the beautiful boys from the band never

Just as we thought she would!

Cheryl Cole has officially started her gig as a judge on the American version of The X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and Paula Abdul, and according to sources on the set of her first day of auditions, she was an absolute hit with fellow judges, contestants, and spectators alike - despite her Newcastle accent!

The Girls Aloud singer was reportedly greeted by a crowd of 3,000 cheering and chanting "We Love Cheryl!" as she arrived at the Galen Center, and later, was introduced to contestants by judge Paula Abdul with the following words:

“She’s a superstar in her own right, welcome Cheryl Cole.”

Cheryl then introduced herself by saying:

“I’m thrilled to be here. You might have to bear with me and the accent just a bit… I hope you are all looking forward to getting to know me. It might take you a second to understand my accent but we’ll get there. And just remember, it’s really hard for the contestants coming on here, sometimes – so be kind.”

So lovely!

We're so glad to see her get off to such a positive start!

Keep up the good work, gurl!

We're looking forward to watching you KILL IT on this show!

MTV is taking the Jersey Shore across the pond with a new series: Geordie Shore.

The show is set to film in Newcastle where, according to MTV UK's director of television Kerry Taylor, "it is always summer", "no one wears a coat" and "Geordie girls are always out in their miniskirt".

Sounds kinda tame to us!

And if you were hoping to see a Geordie pouffed Snooki, don't hold your breath.

Taylor maintains the Geordie Shore is only "loosely" based on the original, but will definitely have "memorable characters who are funny and brash but at the same time warm and get on with each other".

The UK version of fist pumping starts this spring.

Guess what? Cheryl Cole doesn't have her cute little Newcastle accent anymore!

Friends close to the X Factor judge say that she has developed a distinct American accent after spending the summer in Hollywood.

And you know who is to blame for that, dontcha?! Effing Derek Hough! Her pal says:

"Cheryl has developed a slight American accent while she's been there but it's still a long way off sounding like she's not from Newcastle. Derek has been mocking her about a few phrases, and he also does a good impression of her voice now."

Ugh! How annoying!

Just one more reason to give up the charade! He's obviously ruining you!
