Alex Gerrard's Not Going to the World Cup

Apparently Alex has decided to stay at home while Stevie is away playing in South Africa. The Gerrard's aren't the only ones making plans to be apart for an extended period of time over the summer. Coleen Rooney, Cheryl Cole (obviously), Toni Poole, and Elen Rives (obviously) are also not planing on making the trip. Without the WAG staples to entertain us and provide us with fantastic fashion blunders, we'll have just the football. Lots and lots of football. I can barely contain myself.

Lampard and Bleakley Leaving the Dorchester Hotel

The two exited the Dorchester Hotel together, before Frank had time to hide his face in embarrassment. I don't know if he's being so coy because he doesn't want to be photographed with Christine, or doesn't want to be photographed in those heeled boots of his.

Smithy Teams Up with Man United

James Corden returns for Sport Relief this year with Manchester United. He puts some select members of the squad through their paces with an interesting step-aerobic workout. Looks like it's going to be a good one. Can't wait.

And is presented with, what looks like, a crowned rock. A royal rock. A sovereign stone.

How peculiar...

Wayne Bridge Celebrates at Chinawhite

After beating Chelsea, Shaun Wright-Phillips took teammate, Wayne, to lick his wounds at the Mayfair, WAGabe hotspot.

How very stereotypical of you. Chinawhite? Really?

Nike Debuts World Cup Kits at Promotional Event

Clint Dempsey modeled for the USA, while Nani showed off Portugal's kit. (Why they couldn't book C-Ron, I will never know.)


Representing the Pacific Region were Vince Grella of Australia and Ryan Nelson of New Zealand. (Both exceedingly attractive.)

A Letter to Wayne Bridge

I realize that I probably won't win any fans with this one, but I feel as if it needs to be said.


Dear Wayne Bride:

As a result of your decision to remove yourself from England selection opportunities, I would like to bring up the following conclusions that you may not have realized as a result of your verdict.

You are a selfish pillock.

You have managed to put your personal vendetta ahead of the your nation and England football fans, alike. Not to say that England can’t win World Cup without you, but why wouldn’t you want to play in a WORLD CUP? It’s just absurd. And with Ashley Cole injured and struggling to get fit in time, you’d actually get to play! It was a massively selfish decision and you’ve thought about no one, but your ego.

I like you, I always have. (Mainly because you’re lips are serious competition for even Angelina Jolie.) I worry that this decision could result in career suicide. We’ve seen it before. Turning your back on your country is never a wise move, especially when that country is England.

You can’t runaway from your problems. Avoidance and denial never solves anything. (Although, personally, I am a fan.) Man up. Be courageous. We all have to work with people we don’t like. I think it’s part of the definition of a “job,” actually. I realize you’re a sensitive bloke, but boo-freakin’-who. Strap on those boots, pull up your socks, and get on with it.

Lastly, and perhaps most obviously, you’re a footballer. There is like a 99.9% chance that you’ve cheated too. Isn’t your anger directed at JT slightly hypocritical? I mean, you and Vanessa had broken up. Not that that warrants JT’s bad behavior, but you two weren’t even together at the time, so what’s your issue. Is there a man-code (or rather, boy-code) that I’m not aware of? Everyone hates JT right now, but he’s still playing for England. You were the victim here, but alas you’ve conceded the high ground. John Terry put his big boy pants on, respected the boos of fans, and faced the wrath of an entire nation. Something you couldn’t do.

Yours truly,
MRWF

Coleen Rooney in Barbados

This is a pictorial tale of real estate, faceless babies, and 7 bikinis.

Coleen and her family stayed at her plush, newly purchased Barbados getaway. Not too shabby.



And for your beach fashion information, I give you, Coleen's bikini and cover-up collection.

Captain-Vice Captain Mate Dates During Training

What can you say? There's a special, unspoken bond between that of captains and vice captains that exists. These are just two of the more adorable football mates... ever.

Cristiano Ronaldo Statue in Madrid

The statue was erected in preparation for the Nike promotional event. Surely, a better pose for the this would have been...



Beggars can't be choosers, I suppose. Love that a tiny bird is already shitting on his head.

I don't know how long this will stay up, seeing that it's him in his Portugal kit. Can't imagine it will still be there for the World Cup.

Frank Lampard in Armani, Need I Say More?

During the interview he even said, "I'm still a single man." Take that, Christine.
