Girl Aloud Cheryl Cole caused quite a stir at last night's Brit Awards when she turned up without her wedding ring on her finger.

However, as you can see, Cheryl's denuded finger wasn't just some statement - she wasn't wearing it when she (and two bandmates) got on the plane yesterday afternoon, either!

Looks like her hubby Ashley Cole's earned himself some serious penalty minutes!

We know what you're thinking, but by "Brit" we mean "British" -

First, formerly big-boobed Jordan confesses that she was "Pushed to the Limit" in a new autobiography (NOTW has excerpts), flirting with suicide and bingeing on illegal drugs that made her think she had accidentally OD'd!

Then, Nicola from Girls Aloud (who just happen to be in town), revealed to Fabulous how she used to feel like the "ugly one" in the group, but only recently has come to think "I'm starting to look pretty!"

Here's Nicola out in LA this weekend with a few of her band mates. What do you think?
