3. Of the many tattoos Cher Lloyd has, her favorite is a tear-filled eye on the inside of her left wrist. Before this point in my life, I cried so much, I get hurt by everything, she told reporters. Id read something about myself and Id cry, or Id see a picture and I look terrible, and I cried. Id ball my eyes out. But now, I dont cry. I just feel like Ive got a tougher skin.
4. Lloyds New Year's resolution? I really want to go and get my teeth done I want this gap gone! I feel so terrible, its horrible. I look at pictures and Im like, that wouldve been great if I didnt look so goofy!
5. Sheeran revealed that surprise, surprise the song he penned for One Direction is also inspired by his ex-girlfriend. Every single love song Ive done is about her, but this is one that she doesnt know its about hernow she knows! he told reporters of Little Things. I gave that to the boys about two months ago, and within a month, it was number one in the U.K. So I didnt expect it to happen, but its cool!
