Kickette Catch Up: Your Weekend Gossip Cheat Sheet
“I love underwear…it’s as simple as that” — David Beckham.
You know those women who can juggle ten things at once?
That’s not us.

Irina Shayk: Fingerless Gloves Are Good For Something

We’ve been slow to post on the pics doing the rounds of Irina Shayk’s Autumn/Winter campaign for Replay Jeans. Reason being we’re conflicted.
Yes, Irina’s topless. We can obviously see that. But she’s also wearing fingerless gloves in various colours and textures.
We normally understand these fash-hazards to have no real purpose other than to protect the palms of wannabes falling down nightclub stairs, but once again, we’ve been shown that we don’t know squat about anything. We think we do, but we do not.
As Cristiano’s girlfriend skillfully demonstrates, fingerless gloves are great breast warmers. In the off chance that one’s shirt, scarf or jacket are nowhere to be found, of course.
Kickettes, should we employ these uniquely versatile accessories for our next Friday night outing, or fight them until we break a pinky nail? Please do advise.
Ballon d’Or 2012: Where Is The Love?

Lionel Messi took home the coveted FIFA Ballon d’Or trophy Monday evening, staving off tough competition from Barcelona teammate, Xavi Hernandez, and Real Madrid rival, Cristiano Ronaldo (who was a no-show since his squad is set to do battle with Malaga in the Copa Del Ray today). As we raise our mugs of tea in a congratulatory salute to the talismanic mini-man, we’d also like to divert your attention to the real news at hand here:
There was a whole ‘lotta fashion uglyitis going on in Zurich last night. It was, perhaps, the craziest parade of clothes and coifs we’ve ever seen at a football awards gala.
We loathe ourselves every time we have something negative to say about somebody, but we’ve got a few things to get off our perky chests. We suspect the disagreeable gauntlet is ahead of us, so here goes nothing.

Bojan Krkic was all but mauled by a Kickette Soldier girl at his book signing last week.
We’re beyond proud.
Mesut Özil: GQMF Bambi

Clown shoes-gate. That’s what happened last time Mesut got his model on. So when news of behind-the-scenes footage of a GQ Germany shoot broke this morning, we picked up our hipflasks lattes and morning croissants and headed to our safe viewing spot. That dark sinister space on the other side of the sofa.
Luckily, some of team-mate Cristiano’s modelling experience seems to have rubbed off on the doe-eyed one, and while he remains fully clothed at all times (boo!) he still looks super hot in these scenes. No frightening footwear, no migraines and no threats of nuclear attack necessary.
We’re so relieved we might have to skive off work this afternoon to celebrate.
Irina Shayk & Victoria Beckham: WAGs In Mags & Red
ELLE magazine scored themselves a brace of WAGs to help them finish out the 2011 calendar in top form. At left, one shot of Cristiano’s girlfriend from this month’s Spanish version of the famed glossy, and to her right we have Victoria Beckham, who kicks off the US edition’s new year come January.

With the UEFA EURO 2012 draw less than 24 hours away, our limited attention spans have gravitated towards teams’ accommodations. Where will our favourite ‘ballers be holed up during the tourney? Will the management take personal tastes into consideration whilst selecting a hotel or will they only be mindful of relaxation and seclusion from the imminent hysteria? Moreover, how boring will it all be?
We’ll be examining several of the posh pads that the rich and WAGalicious will be occupying this summer at random, beginning today with the Remes hotel in Opalencia, Poland. Google Map this location, Kickettes, because the Remes will be housing the Portuguese NT throughout the tournament.
Join us as we have a nose around the place, offering our own opinions about the decor along the way, obviously.
ATP Tour Finals: Fascinated Footballers & Police Frisking
Er… Crissy? You wouldn’t be checking yourself out on the stadium JumboTron like we were, huh? Image: Julian Finney/Getty Images.
We are to tennis what hats are to Ladies’ Day at Grand National. As a matter of fact, we’re thinking of upping our court side attendance at more matches in the near future – especially at the ones that take place in Madrid and London.
Don’t get the wrong idea here, Kickettes. We would never consider attending any kind of event just because we might so happen to bump into some hot and famous footballers. No, that would be too pathetically contrived even for us.
We just like tennis, okay?
