We we were planning on bringing you a live feed from today’s Royal Wedding, but since the English contingent of the Kickette staff have advised that they’re already celebrating by sinking as much Pimms as is physically possible before passing out in a ditch, our intentions of doing so have been crushed.
Still, it’s a matter that has been on our radar for some time, due in no small part to the fact that we were obsessed with wondering what Victoria Beckham would be wearing.
As one of the first, and probably most notable, arrivals to the Westminster Abbey, the beautifully-clad Beckhams look fierce. Le sigh, we love.
Anyway, just soes ya noes, we plan on hitting you with intermittent wafflings and observations and fashion fails from the wedding (which none of us have been invited to) over the next few days, because we interested and think you probably are too.** Judging from the seats they’ve set up in Times Square to view the service, the whole ruddy world is.
**Okay, so it doesn’t entirely fit with out remit, but we’re sure our pathetic and tenuous attempts to connect the matter to football will amuse you.
Soz about our slowness these past few days; the Peeps were a callin’ and we failed to resist the temptation of going HAM on our Easter candy baskets.

- After her beloved Norwich City’s 5-1 victory over arch-rivals Ipswich Town, Sky Sports asked celebrity chef/author, Delia Smith, to sing the victory track, “Ole, Ole” for at home viewers. As is usually the case with alcohol, her beer muscles took over and the result is a YouTube video that will live in infamy.
- Chelsea’s Mikel John Obi and a mystery companion were seen leaving the Mayfair hotel in London. Since we don’t have anything nice to say about her hair or her shoes we’ll just keep quiet.
- Happy (belated) birthday to Victoria Beckham, who turned 37 some days ago. She and the rest of the Beckham clan (bump included) swapped their seats on the hardwood for a box on the LA Kings’ ice Saturday night.
- Meanwhile, on the opposite coast of the U.S., Thierry Henry talked political strategy with NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg at the Knicks game.

- Sadly, we learned that Stephen Ireland’s longtime girlfriend, Jessica Lawlor, sustained major injuries in a car crash that occurred midweek last week. The 25-year-old Mum was supposedly riding shot gun in her friend’s Audi before the luxe car crashed into a tree. Although she was initially treated and discharged with a clean bill of health, she returned to the hospital two days later due to suspected internal bleeding and/or organ damage. We hear she’s healing nicely, but we’re sending our thoughts & warmest get-well-soon wishes to Jess & fam anyway.
- David Beckham proved the power a top shelf bootay can have over our purchasing habits.
- Crystal Palace’s James Vaughn (on loan from Everton, mind you) got fiesty with a wall over the weekend. Can’t we all just get along?

This is not a test of your blood pressure, dear readers, this is an emergency.
Did you hear the one about Britain’s best-known doting daddy, David Beckham, getting his Goldenballs in gear to create a forthcoming kids clothing line with American rapper Snoop Dogg?
If this gossip holds true, it would be the closest case of mental combustion we’ll ever experience outside of watching our brains on drugs.
Please do your part in putting us out of our misery and advise on the following: would you pay good money to make sure your boy’s briefs bulge like Beckham’s, or will you turn up your nose at Snoop Dizzle’s secondhand smoke-and-silk-screened sundresses?

David Beckham graces the cover of the Spring/Summer issue of the semi-annual men’s fashion mag, Fantastic Man. After seeing these pics we think it’s advisable for Fantastic Man to change its name to Super Smokin’ Hot Man.
Has Becks ever looked better? We think not. Victoria used ten exclaimation points to express on Twitter how hot she thinks her husband looks. We would have gone with a minimum of twenty.
The styling takes a page out of the 1950s look book that has been popular for several years now, with David wearing pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, Maison Martin Margiela, and Alexander McQueen. Becks is now the second ‘baller to sport “nerd chic” glasses recently. One more and we will call it a trend.
Are you listening, Sergio?
