Those who have been reading this site for some time will be aware how big the news of Fernando Torres getting a haircut truly is. Election results? England squad selects and injuries? It’s all Eyjafjallajökull in comparison.
Yes, we’re serious. Please leave now if you don’t understand the seriousness. But do take and enjoy a free Jaffa cake on the way out.
We’ve often waxed lyrical about our desire to see Fern go back to his youthful days at Atletico, when being friends with a shaver set to level 3 was just fine. And oh, how we’ve craved the knowledge of what Nando’s natural hair colour would be: the colour of freshly minted gold? A bountiful harvest of shimmering wheat? The rich tones of a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios?
You guessed right, dear readers: it’s all of those things.
See more photos at ONTD Football. Thanks Jasmine for the tip! And don’t forget to follow us on twitter and join our Facebook page! We can’t stop exclaiming things! We’re just so excited about Nando’s hair!

You read it here first, Kickettes.
Federico Macheda, he of 18 years of earth-walking experience, is a father. Although no details are available to confirm the 4 W’s and 1 H of this story, we do know the fresh-out-of-the-oven baby girl is named Natalya Stefani.
No, former fiancee Martina Minafra is not 50% responsible for this wee little tadpole’s creation. Her blissful period sadly ended almost as dramatically as it began. Recall: that this young couple’s run at glory began while canoodling in public. Around the same time that Macheda was rumoured to be dating Sophie Houghton.

It should come as no surprise that we would lead the Everton FC baby parade with our oft-wished for personal mascot Tim Cahill. (By personal mascot, we mean personal love slave.)
Sorry. This is not that kind of post. Wrist slap for us, and let’s get to the celebration of good genes and good wallets.
Up first is Tim with his gorgeous son Shae (of concrete smashing fame).

Since proud papa Wayne Rooney was parading baby Kai all over Old Trafford after United closed their season with a 4-0 win over Stoke City, we’re going to assume it’s safe for us to post this photo of the family without being sued.
Actually, we can’t make that assumption as the aforementioned pic has just mysteriously disappeared without a trace before we could nick off with it. So, instead we’ll go with this one. It’s still rather fabulous.
We know it’s plainly obvious, but we can’t help pointing out Kai’s wondrously marshmallow-like legs of chub which we would happily dunk in hot chocolate and consume 3x daily.
Keeping with the Footy Kids Are Superior In Cuteness To All Others theme, we include a snap of Ryan Giggs’s son Zach and his fab fauxhawk.
More footy babies to come!

- Cheryl Cole spoke to more! magazine, and revealed that she trusts “destiny and fate”, but not her hair. Chezza believes a bad hair day equals an all-around pissy day and went as far to say that she won’t leave the house if she’s worried about her hair. (Eds note: Except for this one time.) Head-against-the-wall type of statement to make if we’ve ever heard one.
- In April, Michael Ballack signed on to be the new face of L’Oreal’s Men Expert line, and thankfully we’ve not had to wait long to catch a glimpse of the Chelsea big man (literally – look at his nethers in those jeans) shilling shaving cream.
- Remember the Orlando Bloom dinner on offer at last week’s Arsenal charity dinner? Turns out skipper Cesc Fabregas was that auction’s highest bidder, and is gifting his winning prize to his sister, Carlota. Twenty other players gave £5,000 of their own money to the cause, helping to raise £450,000 at the gala for the Greater Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.
- Who knew Nicola T. and Helen F. were such good mates? The Corrie star, and girlfriend of Wigan’s Scott Sinclair, was seen out wearing a t-shirt from her fellow WAG’s clothing range, Delicious Couture.
- Sthefany Brito may have realised the untimely error of her prenup ways as she’s seeking monthly spousal support from Pato to the tune of €50,000. Monthly. As in, every 30 days. Sthef argues that she had to “give up her career” for the marriage; however, Pato’s lawyer, speaking on his behalf, is said to be fighting the fee since “seven months of marriage does not ruin a career”. Hmm. Whose side to take?
