Joe Cole has returned to the Premiership in fine – sorry, make that foine – form, and is looking good on the midfield for Chelsea.
After suffering from a nasty knee injury this summer, Joe-baby (as we think he should officially be called), says he’s ready to get back on the pitch for England:
“The next England game would not be too soon for me…I am fit for selection and will be ready for it.“
Insert your own “you know you’re fit, Joe” joke here.

It’s nice when true love stands the test of time, ain’t it?
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and bit-on-the-side Daria Zhukova are splitsville.
Russian newspapers are reporting that “Dasha” has been crying to her friends and telling them that her glory days as Mistress To All That Is Filthy Stinking Rich are over.
It will be interesting to see if wife Irina will back off with her alleged divorce plans – Roms is denying the claims that she’s been visiting lawyers.
We’re much more interested in placing bets on who socialite Dasha ends up with next. Our money is on someone rich.
Or old and rich.
But definitely rich.
We mentioned the richness, yes?

American designer Tommy Hilfiger held a launch party for the opening of his flagship shop in Paris, and wouldn’t ya know it, the fabulous Mr. Henry showed up and stole the show.
Looking dapper in a pinstripe suit, Theirry dropped a little insider info: he’s going to be working with the Hilf for a project in the future. What that project might be, we have no clue. We’re guessing something with an accent. And possibly a Renault.
The launch was full of A-List-ish types, from Lenny Kravitz, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Bosworth and Virginie Ledoyen (pictured with T, above).

As women in love with football players, their lifestyles of excess and thighs like thunder, we have to put up with the odd bit of shite from those who :
- ask us to write about something other than David Beckham
- suggest that we get a “real” job
- tell us to stop being mean to ugly people
Luckily, we can handle that. We’re strong and we’re shallow.
What we do have trouble dealing with is the suggestion by fashion designers that we should aspire to have a waist the size of a football. High end designer Nicole Miller plans on introducing a new sub-zero size of clothing, with the circumference of “a soccer ball”.
It’s no coincidence that WAG supreme, Victoria Beckham, has this waist size. Start re-thinking your food choices ladies. We suggest not eating anything ever again.

Victoria and toast.
Hmm.
We know she doesn’t eat carbs, so artist Lennie Payne’s ode to her in Marmite and wheat is surely sacrilege.
