Elena Santarelli, aka the soon-to-be Mrs. Bernardo “wet trunks” Corradi, had an interesting weekend in Rome: she got a great blow out, and then made googly eyes at Elisabetta Canalis.
FYI, Elisabetta is George Clooney’s latest fling (and Christian Vieri’s ex).
Just try and picture Victoria Beckham cavorting on a stage with Danielle Lloyd gleefully swinging in her arms. Yeah, no… that would never happen.
Elena, (who gave birth to son James in July), and Elisabetta’s love-fest occurred whilst filming MTV Italia’s Total Request Live.
We can’t decide which is more shocking: that TRL still exists, or that no one tried to nick off with Elisabetta’s hot shoes while she was distracted/getting felt-up.

On Saturday evening, the Chelsea boys past and present were out for the Didier Drogba Foundation charity ball.
Oh, we love us a footballer in a penguin suit, we do. Sadly, many of the boys try to put their own personal stamp on black tie wear. (Looking at you shiny-suit Claude).
We give you: Didier Drogba, Claude Makelele, Nicolas Anelka, Joe Cole, Michael Essien, John Terry and Ashley Cole. Salomon Kalou was there, but we have no photo of his cute/skinny self. Other non-footy guests included the Brand New Heavies, Akon, and rugby hottie Danny Cipriani.
Know this: your life won’t be complete until you click over to watch the boys work their magic on the dance floor. And by magic, we mean the two-step to infinity.
Nice charity work, DD! We applaud you and your dance moves.
Who do you think looked the best on the night?
Our picks: JT and Michael Essien for their tux-commitment (though Michael looks so pocket-sized he could be popped on top of a wedding cake, no?) We fash-fail: Joe Cole for his navy corner office suit. Joey, why?

As you can see by this rather stacked manpile, the Real Salt Lake boys are happy. They won the MLS Cup, beating the LA Galaxy 5-4 in a penalty shootout. (Congrats RSL!)
Let’s take a moment to talk about the penalties, shall we? There’s always gotta be someone. The fans know it. The players know it.
Indeed pivotal penalty kick moments create so many emotions: wanting to strangle a player, being left dumbstruck by the epicness of the miss or just weeping silently into your martini glass while you plot moving to a small island without telly/footy somewhere.
Beckham in 2004, Cristiano and JT in the Champions League, Gareth Southgate in ‘96 – just a few of the PKs that we remember being gobsmacked by. Of course, it’s one thing if the keeper stops it; yet another if you blast it off into outerspace.

It’s been said that the couples who pout and pose together, stay together.
Wait, no it hasn’t. Well, we’re saying it now.
Anyhoosey, sometimes in-boxes bring photo gifts so gasp-worthy they require several minutes of 200% click-zoom-pan left-pan right work. This shot falls into this category.
Here’s a mini hint on homeboy: he currently plays in the Premier League and was obviously channeling his inner Dylan McKay when the photographer told him to “act natural”.
Please note the plump lips in conjunction with the manscaped brows/sideburns in between your champagne slugs and giggle fits.
After all, it’s Monday and we still haven’t recovered from last week. Oh, and soz about our absenteeism on Friday. There were some stellar parties, shopping priorities and “real” jobs that forced us to close-up shop earlier than norm. We swear on our new handbags we’ll make it up to you.
So: can you name that couple?

Three words you wouldn’t normally put in a sentence together: Elen + Elegance + Premium.
Yet Tesco’s marketing wiz kids believe some snazzy adjectives and Elen Rives’ post break-up bod are a sure fire way to sell their new lingerie range to aspirational Wagabees.
Craftily entitled “Diamond Boutique”, the collection is priced to sell. You could buy the entire line thrice and still have taxi fare for the mental asylum to spare.
Sidenote: Elen has now sought to clarify her original ”I still love Frank” comments. We call bluff.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the many different faces we’ve seen recently in World Cup qualifying action.
There’s the good-old fashioned happy face, as seen (above), by Algerian keeper, Faouzi Chaouchi.
