Today’s fashion and design news – presented in order of our excitement levels.

Meh: The French prostitute at the centre of the French NT scandal involving Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema debuted her own line of lingerie at Paris Couture Fashion Week today.

Things Are Getting Interesting: Zahia Dehar’s lookbook was shot by none other than Karl Lagerfeld himself, which is a vast improvement from her Ed Hardy days.

Sh*t Just Got Real: It’s Girl Scout cookie season and we just placed our annual orders for Samoas and Thin Mints.

The puffy jacket. The slightly askew Yankees cap. The denim nappy. We hope this guy was dressed at gunpoint. Image via Bafe’s facebook page.

If you’re going to post images of yourself on popular social networking sites, it’s best you don’t accompany each picture with the caption ‘Look Of The Day‘. This just encourages people with nothing better to do to mock you, even if they think you’re quite cool and may even fancy you a bit.

Sorry, Bafe, but it’s best you learn this about us now so you’re not disappointed when, after we begin dating, we steal all your clothes and burn them.

It’s been a week of political posturing, professional problems and puffy faces at Kickette.

Any conflict in the camp will be resolved with a cerebral game of chess. Any conflict over the rules of chess will be resolved by throwing hideous wooden chairs at one another. Image: Alexander KHUDOTEPLY/AFP/Getty Images.

Our exciting new series continues with a ‘going over’ of the EURO 2012 facilities that await the French NT.

Based in Donetsk, the Kirsha Training complex was specifically designed for the use of Ukranian league champs Shakhtar, who by the looks of things, like upsetting shades of green.

More importantly, though, is the place player-proof? Let’s have a look, shall we?

Retired Serie A footballer turned Ligue 2 club manager, Marco Simone, has the most interesting hairstyle – if “style” is even the right word to call it?

You think those haven’t-been-washed-in-weeks strands are all really his? Or is this the effed up work of a hair piece?

If Marco’s bedhead didn’t sprout from his own scalp, well then, he should look into getting a refund.

Like, immediately.

Eric Cantona: Ministry Material

Eric Cantona, who has added the offices of poet and thespian to his CV since folding up his shorts, has reportedly taken steps to acquire the 500 mayoral signatures he needs to stand for France’s presidential vote this year.

However, French newspaper Liberation has subsequently stated that Eric’s intention is not to make it as far as the Elysee Palace (the official residence of the Prez), but  to draw attention to poor quality housing in the country. Figures indicate that some 3.5million people in France live in inadequate conditions.

It would be churlish to criticise the worthiness of his cause, but if this gig doesn’t work out, there’s always a space in our Ministry of Mmm (Greying But Still Grabbable Division) for Eric if he so desires.

Sorry – we just had to put it out there.

Presumably there will be consequences for Robbie Keane failing to return to LA Galaxy to prepare for the MLS Cup game on Sunday. We doubt he gives a crap, though. Image: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images.

A bumper edition of results for you today, including the odd sneaky reference to games we *may* have neglected to cover at the weekend.
