Kickette Catch Up: Weekend Gossip Cheat Sheet
Image via Splash News
- While Victoria Beckham looks rather bad ass smoking a cigar at a beach house in Malibu this weekend, her hubby David’s been named in Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed Hall of Fame. In an interview Becks names his favourite items of clothing as Dior Jeans and a white t-shirt.
- Vanessa Perroncel has spoken out -for free - in an extensive story with the Guardian and she tells a very different story than what most people have heard about the whole John Terry/Wayne Bridge love and lust trifecta. Definitely worth a read.
- Ronaldinho spent some time working on his “smizing”.
- File this under: we’ve all been there, mate. Jerome Boateng has been taken out of commission by a drinks trolley. It smacked him in the leg whilst on a flight, further aggravating a knee injury. Is this the final straw for safety within the airline industry? We hope they will now take our many pleas for built-in seat wine coolers more seriously to reduce such terrifying incidents.
- Happy birthday greetings are due to Glen Johnson, who turns 26 today!
- Whether the rumours about Rhian Sugden are true or not, Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk were spotted looking cozy at the Spain v USA basketball game in Madrid. Iker Casillas was also hanging.
- An ex-Big Brother contestant has come out with claims that Peter Crouch hit on her repeatedly on a night out. Her response? She threw a bottle at him.
- Coleen Rooney hit up the V Festival looking adorbs in a pair of mock crock wellies.
- It’s technically not gossip, but who’s going to argue with a little video of Yoann Gourcuff flexing his abs on the pitch? No one, sane, that’s who. (Skip to about .26 seconds in)

wow, if Vanessa P is telling the truth than the media really caused major damages to her & Terry’s reputation over nothing! At the same time i don’t know what the hell to believe anymore!
Happy birthday Glen! Hopefully, it’ll be a good day with a victory over Manchester City..
i've said it before on ontd but irina totally looks soooooooooo bored in the whole series of pics.:(ifi had such a hunk adoring me i'd jump him to death.:) how gangsta does victoria look wid that cigar.
Happy Birthday, Gleninho!
I'm so bummed for Boateng. I was excited to see him come to Serie A.
Watching that video reaffirmed my love for French men and in particular, French soccer players
Amen!
Does anyone else think Irina is absolutely gorgeous? I feel sorry for the girl; Cristiano isn't exactly boyfriend material. But it's her business.
And Yoann, why are you so beautiful?
Best looking girl he has EVER dated and she seems to be hangin’ in there with him… still, I don’t know what I’d do if my boyfriend took me on vacay and said “BTW, gotta go pick up my new baby”.
Police and prosecutors always swear that the truly innocent invariably instantly (not months later) deny the accusations. They can't stop screaming, spitting and shouting their shock and outrage about being falsely accused.
Strangely Valerie P. and JT did not do any of this. Neither did their closest friends/associates e.g. Lamps who went on record supporting Wayne Bridge's right to quit the England team, or Toni Terry who spoke of a "fresh start."
Nice try from VP, but pretty transparent.
Yeah… Many Gourcuff lovers here! Love it!
<3
Max Clifford helping Vannessa for free??? Yeah, Ok!
What stories does he prevent, the ones he's highly paid to prevent coming out.
Such a charitable man.
I thought that too – would be surprised personally if Max Clifford was helping anyone without payment. Surely it doesn't make good business sense to offer your time but get nothing back in return money-wise!
Back to what I originally came on to say … thanks for the vid clip, which I've spent far too long watching and re-watching. I'm another Yoann fan obviously (who isn't?!)!
Betcha Clifford has a deal with her that when/if she gets settlements in her libel cases against the various newspapers, he gets a percentage. Guys like Clifford never work for free.
Them cameramen are really shameless. I was watching the game. And when Gourcuff was in becnh, they moved the camera to bench as much as possible. They are showing Gourcuff in background even if they have other players giving them interviews. Really shamelss cameramen. Or Kickette, you have some settings with them cameramen to show Gourcuff as much as possible, eh?
He was so often shown because he was at the heart of transfer rumors. Now its officially confirmed by bordeaux and lyon. Gourcuff and Lyon = my 2 passions reunited!!!
Or it is possible that a kickette is behind the camera; whatever it is i am not complaining!
Oh, yeah. Victoria does look bad ass with that cigar in her hand.
Love her! And her sunglasses.
Yo. <3
But Cédric Carrasso is another hot Frenchie. How come I've never noticed that? (OK, I already know the answer…)
Too late, I was there first!
You can all have Gourcuff, I want Carrasso.
Smart, funny, sexy as hell, who needs baby Gourcuff when there's Cedric.
oh Queen V is such a badass! Love her…other wags can try, but few can live up to her standards!
Yoan … yoann… yoann .. damn you make me horny yoann …
OMG Queen V smoking that cigar is such boss.
LOL, I couldn't agree more.
i'm sure this has been mentioned before, but, i love your name
oh Yoann…
It's a roundup – a rather common approach to delivering tasty tidbits of gossip/news, especially when linking to other sources. Blogs and online newspapers often use this format. Deep breaths and take it one line at a time.
It’s a round-up post summing up everything that Kickette don’t get chance to cover while they’re not working over the weekend. Surely you don’t want individual posts for items that are only going to be two lines long? It makes much more sense to collate them together seeing as none of them are very long and they’re literally only summaries.
i think everything sally said was clear and correct. they dont work weekends. why waste all the extra posts for two line reports. and if you've been around kickette, normally its way more than one post a day. this isnt the new york times, its a blog sight about footballers and their girls! it cant be that confusing to read, can it? i mean the stories are clearly seperated. if you don't like the style of writing then just dont read it, or create your own site.
WOW, didnt want to sound harsh, sorry bout that
and btw, i personally like these quick weekend gossip cheat sheets.
