Wait a minute - Hough/Cole still counting as an item

According to the Daily Mail, which knows about these things, Cheryl and Derek had a pretty good New Year's Eve celebration together:

Dancing for joy: Cheryl Cole and Derek Hough let their hair down at £1m party

Some noteworthy events:

Hough has also reportedly bought the 27-year-old X Factor judge a £10,000 diamond bracelet as a love token.

(roughly 20-25K USD)

and of course:

It was there, in front of the assembled revellers, that the couple sealed their love with a passionate kiss after toasting each other with champagne as the midnight chimes rang out.

Well, I say, it's about time. Now, one could still claim they're just friends, staying at an exclusive resort in South Africa and dancing and kissing at a New Year's Eve party, but that would be a stretch. As I think Cheryl's definition of "single" is.
