You’re familiar with the little fur-waistcoat-that-could, yes?
Victoria Beckham had her furry friend out whilst traveling back from her recent jaunt to Paris, pairing it with leather-look leggings and an edgy(?) full-finger ring.
As we know, the last time Victoria worked her waistcoat (pictured right), she carried on a similar theme of leggings, sunnies, heels, repeat.
Fashion-minded readers with a vision, do tell: is there no other way to wear a hairy vest these days?

Michael Owen turns thirty today! Congratulations Mikey. Even though it freaks us out to think of you aging. Seriously. If we see any sign of crows-feet we will have a spasm. Here’s to another year!

Another United player has big ‘tings to celebrate: Ryan Giggs was named Sports Personality of the Year. His speech was unrehearsed and very endearing. He’s a living legend. We’d like to comb his chest hair. That’s all.

Freddie Ljungberg to star in a Shakira video? How in the abs did we miss this news?
–
Reminiscing on the glory days of Kung Fu kick reactions.

Lessons learned about Iker: he’s hot when he’s mad (and telling a 10-year-old heckler that he needs to get an education), he’s sensitive (well, okay we all knew that already), and he looks good in red. He also can swear like a trooper.
–
Sorry. Still recovering from that Iker vid.
–
One more minute.

Okay. Cheryl Cole won big with her act Joe McElderry on the X Factor this weekend. Her hubby Ashley was there to hold her hand.

Carlton Cole really likes ketchup on his pasta.

When it comes to Xmas parties and bowling alleys, Robinho can’t be arsed.
thanks KM!

Xabi Alonso in the stands at Anfield! Don’t lie, you fangirled when you saw him.
After being given 2 days off after the Valencia win, the former Liverpool player showed up to watch the game against Arsenal. And he had his wife Nagore in tow, too.
Let it be known, ‘Pool fans, most Real Madrid players use their 2 day breaks to visit family or to go home. Case in point: The Mummy-and-me outfits Ronaldo and his mum wore while out to dinner this weekend. The fact that Xabi popped up back in town speaks volumes, we think.
He’s like that ex-boyfriend you say you’re completely over but yet can’t stop squawking about to anyone with a pulse. He’s like the crush you swear you’re done with until he incorrectly calls you the wrong name (which is okay because the fact he even acknowledges you gives you false hope that you two *WILL* share a holiday house in the south of France one day.)
Stay strong. Side note: For airport stalkers, he’s headed back to Madrid today.

We were too distracted by his excellent tuxedo last week to comment on the hair, but it was duly noted.
We know you saw it too: Dimitar Berbatov kicked the Count Chocula to the kerb. Perhaps he read our post on hairbands and ‘ballers. Perhaps he grew tired of the constant widow’s peak references. Perhaps, he just wanted to feel the wind in his hair, unencumbered by styling shape or form.
Of course, we love Dimi so much that it’s really irrelevant what he does to his hair, but we feel like this new ‘doo is a tad too average for The Berba. It’s not showcasing his uniqueness as it should be. Your thoughts?

T’was a wonderful footy weekend involving grown men touching each other. Personal space on the pitch was at a premium, with many guys showering affection unto each other. Some of it was hot. Some of it was not.

For two action-packed days, we bore witness to uninvited cheek-to-cheek action (Bobby Zamora, Fulham; David Nugent, Burnley), in-yo-face lecturing (Daniel Agger & Steven Gerrard, Liverpool; The Ref; Andrey Arshavin, Arsenal) and earlobe caressing (Diego De Ascentis, Atalanta).
Which groping was uncomfortable and which TLC was much appreciated – by us at least? We’re so glad you asked…

So, does this mean it’s for realz, Kickettes?
Frank Lampard’s rumoured/unconfirmed/suspected/we’re over analyzing/etc new love, Christine Bleakley, and her galpal, Amanda Holden, were spotted in the stands at this weekend’s Chelsea v. Everton match. We want to say something mean but must admit her hair is well blown out and her veneers make her smile seem half-genuine instead of fully forced.
All in all, this photo documentation does not delight.
Oh, and how did these two snag such close quarters to Fabio Capello?

Since you asked, yes, we’d rather curl up in that perfectly-carved spot David Trezeguet is offering us than rise and shine for another Monday.
