It's been a few days of tattoos and surprising party guests, and no mistake. First, David Beckham showed off his new body art following a game between his current team AC Milan and arch-rivals Juventus. The tat in question? A not-especially-cheery image of a blood-stained Jesus, apparently based on a painting called The Man of Sorrows. It's a tribute to Becks' late granddad though, so we'd best not be too snarky.

Still on interesting skin-based ink, news emerged that truly talentless twins John and Edward Grimes aka Jedward are hooking up with none other than Vanilla Ice for their debut single (a version of 'Ice Ice Baby', natch). Lest we forget, Vanilla has the phrase "wide open" tattooed across his fingers - no, we've no idea why either...

And the party surprise? None other than Cheryl Cole [http://blogs.orange.co.uk/celebrity/2010/01/gary-barlow-anniversary-party-cheryl-cole-kimberley-walsh-alesha-dixon-fearne-cotton-denise-van-outen.html], who rocked up looking all fabulous like (with hubby Ashley) to Take That supremo Gary Barlow and wife Dawn's 10th wedding anniversary bash at a London hotel. In fact, Chezza's Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh was there too, along with several other of Gary's Comic Relief Kilimanjaro climb chums. Ain't no mountain high enough, even when it's freezing out, apparently!

Speaking of Mrs Cole, we actually felt sorry for her when she was spotted out with her hair in such a mess. Celebrity crises don't usually upset us, but in this case we'd like to send out our sympathies to Miss Cole on occasion of this minor tragedy. Ashley seemed to be amused by the whole incident, as if it wasn't as significant as his wife made out - shame on you Ashley.

Cheryl Cole's hair normally looks full of body with not a strand out of place. She even has body guards looking out for her hair, as seen by the photos taken when she left Gary Barlow's wedding anniversary party. Well she is the face of L'oreal, so needs to make her hair looks prefer - because she's worth it. But then, aren't we all?
