Champions League Draw: You Like?
Whilst Frank, Fabio and Florent form some kind of open-mouthed, consonant-loving supergroup, we’d like to take a minute out of your day to talk about the Champions League Draw for the knock out stage.
Quick recap on the match-ups:
Stuttgart v Barcelona
Olympiakos v Bordeaux
Inter v Chelsea
Bayern Munich v Fiorentina
CSKA Moscow v Sevilla
Lyon v Real Madrid
Porto v Arsenal
AC Milan v Manchester United
Of course the big talk is all around the Premier League deja vu for David Beckham (with Milan) heading back to Old Trafford and Jose Mourinho (bringing his Inter boys to Stamford Bridge), but we’re thinking the Bayern v Fiorentina match will also be a corker.
What are your thoughts on the next stage of the draw?
David Beckham: In Need of LASIK?
Our dear old boy Becks was recently on the George Lopez talk show in the States, spilling the beans on his friendship with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
As well as informing the world of the scary dinnertime karaoke that Tom and Katie like to play, David called Tom “the most handsome man I’ve ever met.”
Now looky here, DB. Perhaps such talk will wash on a late night show no one we know has heard of nor watched, but it won’t wash with any here persons at Kickette HQ, nor any of our well-versed readers. Nice try, though.
Photographic public denouncement of comment below.
If you know a good eye specialist, please forward it on to the Beckham residence. He clearly needs one.
Micah Richards: Warm and Wooly
You know we want to mock. We do. But… the mock isn’t coming.
We kind of love this look on Man City’s Micah Richards.
Sure, the trousers look like he’s on a break from Butlins Ye Olde Swashbucklers Treasures and Delights musical theatre presentation, but on the whole, we applaud his unique style.
The boots are fab, we love a ‘baller in a good winter hat, and we all know why that jumper fits so well, don’t we?
Have we been diving too deeply into the mulled wine, Kickettes? Will anyone join us over here on the fabric-croissants-as-trousers aisle?
Tim Cahill: Hottie With A Coffee
Yeah, sometimes the titles just write themselves.
Never mind, it’s Friday. The non-corny-title-writing parts of our brains have gone walkies for the weekend.
Please enjoy this shot of the always lush Tim Cahill out in Wilmslow town centre getting his caffeine take-away with a side of forehead wrinkle. Also, please enjoy your own personal fantasy of casually bumping into Tim in Costa’s while ordering your cuppa. Take as much time as you need.
Hot Factor: Karim Benzema’s Mystery Lady

So, on viewing this photo of Karim Benzema with this ridiculously fine chica on his arm, we have a few questions:
1. Who is she? Cute cousin? Girlfriend? Long-time txt-buddy? Live-in hair-detailer?
And, more importantly,
2. Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof or Lancome Definicils?
Thanks CG!
Keepin’ Up with the Voronins

Our favorite style-challenged couple was out in full white-and-ripped-denim force in Germany last night. Her breasts/shirt frills make scare the beejeebies out of you, but this couple always knows how to keep it real and ponytailicious.
There’s something about the Voronins that’s endearing but we can’t quite put our matching pink lips and nails on it. She just throws that eye-seething awful ensemble on us on purpose and stands by her selections with a smirk.
Andriy and Yulia are not fit for the betty page just yet but have made massive strides towards the top of our couple likability scale. Your thoughts?
