Let's all raise a glass to the highly not credible, often made up, anonymous sources that rule the media and news agencies. Their "insider" information may be slightly exaggerated, or altogether useless, but they still fill our lives with random gems of dictionary-chewing banalities like this story, for example nonetheless.

Last time we checked, wearing hair rollers in public was a "Don't" in most sensible ladies' books.

Well thanks to a recently misinterpreted decree from Vogue, the British press is now claiming that the baffling, mind-boggling and completely WAG-like trend of wearing hair rollers whilst out and about is now in fashion.

Irina Shayk's made-for-our-left-hands golf ball-sized ring is playing tricks on us. We first laid eyes on it last week during Cristiano's Golden Boot presentation, but by Sunday evening, it was noticeably absent during Irina's walk down the European Music Awards red carpet.

Those of you lucky enough to have a subscription to the News Of The World's online edition will surely still be rubbing your eyes in disbelief after seeing the world exclusive the paper carried last Sunday. According to the headline, Cheryl Cole, former wife of Chelsea's Ashley had brought new meaning to the word 'forgiving' by moving back in with the gun totin' left back.

With stories as vital and varied as David Luiz' language lunacy, Helen Flanagan's root issues and Peter Crouch's wedding woes, Kickette's Good Week/Bad Week column is the only place you can arm yourself with the information you need for a successful weekend.

- Delusion Clothing shared their plans to feature Micah Richards and Joe Hart in an upcoming something-or-other that hopefully involves the Manchester City males' bare torsos.

So as her divorce is granted from serial 'phone fool Ashley, the time has come for us to wave a fond farewell to Cheryl Cole.

We've thought long and hard about whether we should continue covering Chez on Kickette, having developed a morbid fascination with her 'brave' attempts to deal with hubby related asshattery, but (and we know it sounds brutal), without these endeavors we have little to no interest.

 Cheryl Cole emerged from her self-imposed time-out sporting a new blond hairstyle said to be influenced by ex-husband Ashley Cole.

 Cheryl Cole has been warming to ex Ashley Cole after a turbulent few weeks which has seen the former Girls Aloud star axed as a judge for the US version of the X-Factor.

'Ashley has told friends he sees his future abroad and he wants to persuade [ex-wife] Cheryl to come with him.

Ashley Cole is to buy Cheryl Cole a pet Chihuahua as he continues to woo the downtrodden former Girls Aloud star into accepting him back.

Once again heads were turned at the In The Stands offices as we shift through the best of today's ‘football' news. Of course, the Chelsea fullback is never far from the front pages with The Sun now reporting that Ashley Cole is buying ex-wife Cheryl a Chihuahua puppy for her birthday.

Cheryl Cole is contemplating giving Ashley Cole yet another chance as she spent a night with him at their old home. In The Stands' Rolly Pelovangu diverges from the football talk to investigate!

OK it is not necessarily football related, but the Chelsea fullback has been wooing and soothing his ex after she has been going through some soul-searching in the wake of being ditched from the US version of the X-Factor by Simon Cowell.

England and Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole seems to have landed on his feet since his Divorce to Cheryl Cole recently.

Cole's latest conquest is none other than I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here contestant and former Play-Boy Model Kayla Collins.

On her new album, Cheryl Cole sings a song called 'Happy Tears'. Here are some of the brilliant lyrics:

I cried when I heard you were cheatin'

I cried when I said I was leavin'

I cut off my hair and painted my toes

I sold all the diamonds and burnt all your clothes

I cried when I slashed all your tyres

I cried when your suit hit the fire

Yes, the song is about her split from Ashley Cole, and no, Cheryl didn't write the lyrics (which are, let's be honest, f**king awful).

"The last six days have been extremely painful for us and our families. It is impossible for us, as it would be for any family, to attempt to resolve any issues in the current media glare and against the backdrop of so many inaccurate and intrusive stories.

We would therefore ask that the media now respect our privacy and the right of our family to discuss these matters in private.

What is it with footballers cheating on their ladies? England's stars have once again come to the forefront of the media with their off field behaviour.

First it was John Terry cheating on his wife with former team mate, Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend. Then Ashley Cole blew it big time by cheating on his wife Cheryl Cole with a bunch of average looking women.

Well, it's official. Chelsea left back Ashley Cole and Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole are dunzo. The AP has reported that London's High Court Family Division granted the pop singer a divorce earlier today.

Neither of the Cole's attended the London court hearing where District Judge Christopher Simmonds granted them a decree nisi.

Ah, Mexican tabloids, what would the tías of the world do without your scandals?

Er... the level of cuteness rolled up and squished into the chubby cheeks of Victor Mata Sanchez's son is surely enough to bring about world peace. Or at least a truce between MC Harvey and Cheryl Cole.

A tip for all domestic and international footy teams everywhere: force your footballers to hold a baby whilst posing for their official squad photo and your appeal will increase tenfold.

Isn't it nice to see Titi again?

It's the Ashes at the moment, already far better (patriotic) viewing than the World Cup proved to be. The England cricket team are an endearing bunch too, well spoken, seem like good lads, interview well, etc etc (apart from Jonathan 'I'm a slightly mental yet really boring cunt' Trott).

Relativise to football and the contrast is stark.
