Rumour Mill: Poncy Burgers
The fabulous popbitch is reporting the following blind item… care to hazard a guess at who they’re talking about?
He may have played in the Premiership all year, but this football star isn’t enjoying the jet-set life in Barbados. Honeymooning at the Almond Beach Resort and Spa, the footballer has been on the phone to the travel company with a “serious complaint”, saying his new wife was in tears. The complaint? Well, the restaurants in the all-inclusive resort are, he explained, “too poncy”. All they wanted was a burger and chips.
Other items of note:
At a recent photoshoot for Nike the only thing Ronaldinho did between takes was play Fifa football on Playstation against himself.
Rafa Benitez got over the Champions League defeat by taking his family to Bermuda on holiday. On the flight he ate “the beef”.

How’s this to atone? From today’s Popbitch:
Which celebrity guest got steaming drunk at John Terry’s wedding last weekend and spent the evening on the mirrored dancefloor loudly telling the other female guests what colour pants they were wearing?
And, don’t get me started on Goldmember’s wardrobe choices. I’m mad at him for stealing the shoes my uncle wore to a wedding in 1972. How could you steal from him, JT? I mean, the man wears glasses. For shame.
Much better, thank you.
Too bad it’s not, though. If it really had been Alex and Steven, I’d have laughed my ass off.
somewhere, candice, some poor footballer is going to read that and say, ‘i can do one better’. it’s like seeing JT being fitted in a sharp gray suit, and then wearing a pimpin’ gold suit to his wedding.
oh, wait.
cate, apologies! i mean, really. stevie and alex should have just swiped some fish and chips from their own wedding reception.
ah, that’s right. my bad. i got nicky and steve all mixed up.
i hope nicky doesn’t have his vows tattooed on his back.
Sorry! Wait, let me rephrase… Um, I mean, I wonder if it’s Alex or Toni??

Ballack’s Missing Hair – I can’t think of any man who would look at Sidwell and say, “I want one too!“ So, backs of the world appear to be safe. For now.
But didn’t Sidwell get married a few years ago? The ink on his back is dry…
Hush, you two! You’re ruining my happy feeling!
that got me thinking, candice. it could also be steve sidwell, to continue on in the reading vein.
Oh, shit…
I’m just way too happy about that.
I saw the Barbados story in the Popbitch email last week, so it rules out everyone from the WAG Wedding Weekend.
Maybe Nicky Shorey?
