Cheryl Cole will be keeping Ashley's name

It's been reported that after her divorce from Ashley Cole, Cheryl Cole will keep his surname instead of reverting back to Tweedy.

The singer was apparently influenced by... Tina Turner, who kept husband Ike's name after they divorced.

A source said, "Cheryl has decided her married name will stay. She feels the most successful period of her career has been under the name Cole."

"She's established in Europe. Going back to her maiden name Tweedy would be confusing. It also shows she is bigger than Ashley and prepared to be grown up about a difficult time in her life.

And then the good Tina Tuner bit:

The source added, "She is a fan of Tina Turner. Tina was divorced during her career but decided to stick with her married name because it was how she was best known."
