Ever the provocateur, soccer legend Diego Maradona says he wants to add a new face to his tattoo collection -- which already features the visages of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara -- la jeta de Hugo Chávez:

Diego Maradona said today that he wishes to get a tattoo of the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, after having branded his skin with the faces of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and Argentine-Cuban guerrillero Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

"I would really like to tattoo myself with something of Chávez,"said Maradona in the northern province of Tucumán, where he was playing a game of "showbol", a type of indoor soccer between veteran players from Argentina and Paraguay.

Maradona also told reporters that he's doing well and wants to extend his radio show from Buenos Aires to other parts of Argentina, and invite people like singer Chayanne on "so that they can be seen by all Argentines". Something tells me Chayanne is already pretty popular in Argentina without Maradona's help.
