Saturday
- Francesco Totti was spotted soaking wet, in a bulge cupper on an Italian beach. Just how God
intended it (PS his wife and kids were there too).
- We gave a warm chorizo welcome to Chelsea's latest transfer signing, Oriol Romeu. Don't be shy
in your hellos, Kickettes, he doesn't bite*.
Mel adjusts her GPS tracker while Theo studies the instruction manual for his mobile communicator
headgear. We're not optimistic as to the success of this mission, if we're being honest.
Despite articulating our views on the Cesc Fabregas vacay situation a couple of days ago, we
still don't feel that we have the kind of closure we need to allow us to rest easy in our beds.
Crikey, Kickettes! It's a happy family epidemic!
Having gorged yourselves yesterday on the nummy-ness that is the Kaka fam, please now make room
for dessert. We present the van Persies frolicking in the azure blue waters of Fuerterventura. We
love summer, don't you?
We are, like...seriously offended by Toni Terry's "bikini".
Thongs have only two rightful homes: beneath tight dresses or at Spearmint Rhino. Not on a beach
in the United Arab Emirates. And certainly not in front of innocent children.
Another stunning revelation we're compelled to share: JT is as ripped as ever and packing some
impressive heat.
With our eyes slightly glazed over, we found our heads uncontrollably nodding in agreement upon
hearing one reader's take on this ambiguous shot of Fernando Torres in Sardinia, Italy: 'It's nice
to pretend he isn't wearing a bathing suit. It would also be nice to pretend he wasn't wearing
that bobby pin (Ed.
With his vacay days about to draw to a close, Cristiano Ronaldo has been keen on soaking up what
little rays and water he has left.
From what we can gather, he and girlfriend Irina Shayk's holiday was quite the globe trotting
adventure, beginning on a private yacht in Turkey. Unfortunately for C-Ron, he inadvertently ended
up in the papers after a couple of his water stunts raised eyebrows.
Can anyone spare a block of cheddar? We'd like to grate some cheese on these abs. Diego Forlan, his
abs and his fiancée Zaira Nara are currently on extended holiday in Miami until Uruguay begins
Copa América tournament play in Argentina on the 1st of July. The couple even attended the first
game of the NBA finals last night, and we believe Diego had to remain fully clothed while indoors
since there's no proof otherwise.
Andriy Shevchenko and his wifey with the killer pins, Kristen, take a break on Chelsea owner Roman
Abramovich's yacht. Didn't you get an invite?
The more we catch Mario Balotelli in plain clothes, the less we like him. And although we like
to pretend he's aware of this fact, it didn't stop his inner fashion criminal from doing some
dressed-down damage to the streets of Milan on Monday with his girlfriend.
In other words, 'Super Mario' has a lot to learn about being a rich and famous 'baller.
Add Phil Neville to the growing list of 'ballers on holiday buddy system. The Everton man and
his wife Julie were spotted on holiday with their kids on the Caribbean beach of Sandy Lane.
Not one to let copious amounts of holiday daiquiris go straight to his hips, Phil has been
working on his fitness with fellow holidaymaker Wayne Rooney each morning.
Now Kickettes, you know we adore us some Cesc. We are hot for his form and lukewarm for his
corny hair styles. We nub him, ya hear?
But c'monnn already with the confusion, babycakes! We can hardly keep up with your
shirt stains let alone the girls going through your revolving dating door, so we're taking today's
juicy with an extra helping of preposterous pulp, ladies and gents.
Yacht in Porto Rotondo, Sardinia? Check. Neatly trimmed beard, greased down hair and sharply
defined guns of an international playboy? Check. Bored stare into the middle distance as gorgeous
blonde girlfriend smothers one with overly demonstrative expressions of love? Check. Alex Pato,
you have everything an elite player needs to enjoy his pre-season break.

Yeowzers! Real Madrid's Sami Kedira and his girlfriend Lena Gercke added some heat to the South
of France summer scene with their beach PDA session recently. Is someone feeling the need to one-up
her man's league rival, who was also just on holiday with his genetically-blessed (or surgically
enhanced, as some of our commenters have been suggesting) girlfriend?

John Heitinga, Dirk Kuyt and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar were just three of the many Netherlands
national team-ers to be "caught" celebrating their squad's 0-0 stalemate against with Brazil
earlier on Saturday. All of the aforementioned lads were papped grinding, locking arms or screaming
at with women other than their wives or girlfriends.
The AC Milan striker, and his equally powerful girlfriend, seem to be enjoying their holiday on the
beaches of Brazil's capital city. Cute. Image Source: Globo.com.

Inter Milan's manager, Leonardo Araujo, and his girlfriend of two and a half years, Anna Billó,
are expecting! And to think, it was only a day ago that we discovered Leonardo had a surname, let
alone a girlfriend!
Seen on vacay in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro earlier this week, the Brazilian-born, Italian Sky News
journalist showed off her four-months-along baby bump in a pretty patterned bikini.
We'd love to present this photo of Finest Five member Joe Hart and his girlfriend Kim Crew on
holiday in Barbados (where else?) without comment, but that's just not possible today.
While Joe's abs, pecs, biceps, triceps and any other muscle group we haven't identified yet
speak for themselves, we must say a word about his willingness to carry Kim's bag.
Yesterday we told you how Atletico Madrid keeper David de Gea and his girlfriend/Spanish singer,
Edurne, were spending a romantic holiday together in Paris. Today's itinerary was even more
exciting, with the loved-up twosome spending time dodging ankle biters and long lines at Disneyland
Paris.
We've only got two things to say in regards to German model Sarah Brandner's hot bikini bod
frolicking in and around the Atlantic Ocean/Miami Beach:
1. We're jealous.
2. But not jealous enough to lift our ban on all summer diets that severely restrict our
alcoholic intake.
PS although Schweini's toe was seen wrapped in gauze on land, he (and it) were well enough to
take a dip in the water with Sarah later in the day.
Sergio Ramos-lovin' Kickettes, how do you like your Spanish rhinestone cowboy (besides on a yacht
in Formentera): A) in full frontal, ball-captastic glory or B) from the back, which speaks for
itself? You may wanna click on each photo to maximise exposure (and your viewing pleasure) before
you cast your vote.

Pardon our interruption of your normal Monday morning routines, but we have an urgent update
that we couldn't keep to ourselves: Leo Messi & Antonella Roccuzzo are back together.
Although the relationship status of these two has nagged us for a while, we know what you're
thinking: define 'together'.

‘Tis the season to be on holiday if you are a 'baller, and it's good to see that Tottenham's
Vedran Ćorluka, Manchester City's Mario Balotelli (sitting with Raffaella Fico; more on her in a
minute) and Olympique Marseille's Dejan Lovren aren't letting the side down.

Looks like The Ramos has found some friends while working on his tan in Marbella. Unfortunately
he hasn't given us any interesting fashion moments (yet), but by the looks of his new female
friend's bikini, perhaps he's found a fashion soulmate.
For those who participated, you may recall how last week we asked what angle was best for
gawking at this Spanish-stud-on-holiday.
Retired Portuguese 'baller, Luis Figo, spent the day yesterday stripping on the beaches of Ibiza
just like he does every other year.
Although this was the only photo available to commemorate this year's triumphant event,
his well-packaged goods brought us to tears once again.
The junk. In this German's trunk. It's magnificent.
For days we've watched in disbelief as Ibra's gaggle of groupie friends blocked clear shot after
clear shot of his exposed torso, tiny swim trunks everything!
As you can see, we've been given very little to work with.
Internal Kickette speculation as to why we can't get a better Z-on-holiday snap is rife, and the
consensus is that it's because the 'ballers on breaks Gods have a bone to pick with us about our
latest Finest Five refresh.

Saturday
- Jealous that their team-mates were getting their fair share of physically-bothersome advances
whilst on tour, MCFC's Edin Dzeko and Alecks Kolarov decided it was time to ditch their shirts once
and for all (during their club's beach party in L.
Soon-to-be-fully-fledged WAG, Ellie Penfold, smartly slathered her fiancée's back with some
chicken soup for the skin earlier today. The took then took to their sunbed in Marbella, Spain,
reminding us that their work calendars are exponentially superior to ours.
Btw, last we checked, the pair's betrothal festivities are set to be held at a popular posh
London hotel next month.
So happy to see this man ain't losing his touch.
Or his affection for itsy bitsy banana hammock bottoms.
Envisioning a world without invasive snaps such as these makes us feel aggro with a side of the
stabbies. And no, our angry cry faces are not even the slightest bit cute.
So, without further ado, join us in looking back on our top 5 most infamous, brief-tastic
Francesco Totti moments.
Look! A footballing couple who don't feel the need to leap onto each other's partially clad forms
when they spot a camera. We should have them bronzed for the sake of posterity. PS where's baby
Isabella? We nub her. Image: Bauer Griffin/Zimbio.
Manchester United's Macheda spent some time splish splashing around in the water with 'I'm happy to
return to Liverpool no matter what my missus said', Alberto Aquilani, this past weekend. Both were
holed up on holiday with their respective partners (not pictured) at the Grand Hotel Poltu-Quatu in
Sardinia.

Our weekends were filled with Iker in tight pants-greatness, thank you for asking. How 'bout
yourselves, Kickettes?
Saturday
- John and Toni Terry attended the 'Fashion for Good' charity event at Brooklands Hotel just
at the beginning of the weekend.
Barcelona's star forward stepped out for a spot of Italian boutique shopping on Sunday, 20th March.
He and his posse received preferential treatment in the Dolce & Gabbana store, but only left with a
tiny bag as a token of his well-spent time. Image: Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images Europe.
Right. Er... on the plus side, Spurs can be assured that the chances of running into another team
in European football with a lavender away kit are limited. Still, we're not going to turn down an
opportunity to gaze adoringly into Rafael van der Vaart eyes, regardless of his attire.
A big thanks to choreagrapher/dancer, Ján Ďurovčík, for exposing our favourite inked-up
Liverpool defender this past Saturday during a charity match in Trencin. In case you weren't
already aware, Skrtel's 'turtle' has been getting its fair share of action as of late. Most notably
with his girlfriend Barbara, who is expecting the couple's first child in October (it's a boy, as
they previously confirmed).

No wonder the dude in the background is depressed. To be following the display of deliciousness
that is Wesley Sneijder, wifey Yolanthe Cabau Van Kasbergen and his son Jessey down a street in St
Tropez is a reminder to us all of the futility and pointlessness of our lives.
