Jesus Christ ... literally.
David Beckham got some major new ink on his chest, and he just posted the work of art on his Facebook for the world to see. It looks like it must have hurt! Luckily the soccer stud has plenty of tattoos already, so going through this process was probably a piece of cake.
The tattoo is represents Jesus being lifted by three cherubs who symbolize himself and his three sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6.
Beckham
posted a video on his Facebook page explaining the art, revealing:
"It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot."
The tattoo was done by one of LA’s biggest artists, Mark Mahoney, who has worked on everyone from Johnny Depp to Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie.

Reese Witherspoon stepped out for a little retail therapy before this weekend's Academy Awards, and what better place to treat yourself than Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills?
The busy Oscar winning mama juggled shopping bags and her cell phone as she toted around two shopping bags, and we're curious as to what's inside the tiny one. Is it a piece of jewelry for fiance Jim Toth? Or perhaps some sexy wedding lingerie?
While she's not nominated for anything this year, we can't wait to see what the
Water For Elephants star will be wearing on the red carpet on Sunday ... she always looks so flawless!

DJ Pauly D was snapped outside of his hotel in Beverly Hills yesterday, and as much as we hate to admit it, he was looking pretty sauve -- you'd never know he's hiding a back full of douchey tattoos under this longsleeve shirt! But speaking of his looks, doesn't it seem like there's way less of the GTLer these days? Not only does his usually beefy bod appear slimmer, but his cheeks look a bit sunken in as well!
Anyway, we know we're not going to see the
Jersey Shore star on the red carpet at Sunday's Academy Awards, but after appearances on
The Tonight Show and
The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, we're thinking he's going to stick around for some of the Oscar parties...

Letterman hoax, we're not sure what to expect...

With a body this incredible,
House actress Olivia Wilde doesn't have much to be embarrassed about ... except maybe a phone conversation with President Obama.
The stunning brunette, who's gracing the April cover of
Cosmopolitan, recalls traveling to Iowa back in October 2007 to volunteer for the campaign. Wilde recalls that now infamous phone conversation telling the mag:
“I was very professional the whole time we spoke, then I hung up the phone- or so I thought- and started squealing for about 15 seconds. I later found out from a friend who was with him that he listened to the shrieking and laughed the entire time.â€Â
As for the magazine's cover layout, the editors sure have an interesting way of arranging their headlines. Wow!
Find out which hunky actor Olivia will be starring with next ... after the jump.

Why any movie marketed towards kids would feature animated characters lighting up with cancer sticks is totally beyond us.
Rango, featuring the voice of Johnny Depp, is the latest computer animated feature to hit the big screen, and it's already gaining heavy criticism for featuring its characters enjoying cigarettes. Whose decision was it to leave that in? We don't get why something like that would even make it past the cutting room floor. There is even an organization, Smoke Free Movies, which was created specifically to eliminate the use of tobacco in films.
After several critics viewed the film, a full-page ad was taken out in
The Hollywood Reporter questioning what the heck happened in the editing room. The ad's headline states:
"How many studio execs did it take to OK smoking in a 'PG' movie? What was Paramount thinking?"
We totally agree. But Paramount fired back, claiming the smoking in
Rango isn't intended to be glamorous, and Johnny Depp's character is tobacco-free.
A spokesperson for Paramount Pictures, told
TheWrap:
"Rango is an animated action comedy that features the protagonist chameleon, Rango, as the hero of a woebegone western town populated by talking owls, rats, lizards, turtles and prairie dogs. The images of smoking in the film, which primarily involves the animals, are portrayed by supporting characters and are not intended to be celebrated or emulated. Rango is never depicted as smoking. Paramount takes the issue of smoking seriously and we’ve been responsive to the concerns of anti-tobacco groups.â€Â
So why feature cigarettes at all? Smoke Free Movies argued in its ad, "Does
Rango show much smoking? Few PG films do. So why include it at all? It's a bad guy who smokes? No excuse, either. The research finds that bad guys can have more influence than good guys on kids' starting to smoke."
Kids are impressionable at any age, so it's probably wise to keep movies like this a lot more G than PG.
