Some say David + Iker - Victoria = True Love. We say his return to Milan has reignited his
interest in Marco Borriello much to the delight of our fangirl impulses. Watching David and Marco
flirt shamelessly through all of their matches gets our pulses racing the same way he and original
love, Gary Neville, did in the late '90s.
There was the ponytail.
The bedhead.
And, also, horror.
We realised something last night, Kickettes. We've always been under the impression that David
Beckham could sport purple mad clown hair with orange highlights and a little novelty tea cup hat
and we would still be in hot burning lust.
You lot never cease to amaze us, y'know? When we deviously requested that you vote on your
favourite WAG for this year we kind of expected a huge boycott of the vote on the basis that there
were no photos of thighs, abs or tents involved.
So much for our audience research department.
So far, the Lakers' 2010 post-season campaign has seen DBeck's love for beverages and plaid. In
fact, he's now so well-adjusted in America that he has quite a collection of colourful and
patterned button-downs to show for his "dual" citizenship. We might even go out on a limb and say
David passes for the average basketball fan.
Please note, Kickettes, unlike the Daily Fail, who today printed a marked version of this image
they clearly they nicked from a humble blogspot site and didn't credit, ours is in HQ,
unwatermarked and lovely. Meow. Image via TFS.
Victoria Beckham is gracing the cover of Turkish Vogue, and although we can't read a damn thing
on the page, we're going to hazard a guess that the text is all about the "F" word: her fabulous
life, fabulous hubby, fabulous fashion business and all the fabulosity that comes with it.

We'd like to get one thing straight. The untrained among you might imagine that images like
those above and here would put us off Mr David Beckham, his brand of uber hot being founded in the
kind of perfectly groomed metrosexual majesty ideal for shilling product and contributing to the
languid daydreams of millions.
A question: do you think Victoria and David Beckham spend every spare moment they have trying to
get snuggles and neck-sniffs and bear hugs from this beautiful boy? Because he's just plain
edible.
Romeo was out with his mum, brothers and grandparents at Yoghurt Land, btw.
Random: Victoria Beckham is scheduled to co-host The View in America on February
17th.
No ladies, Zlats and Leo haven't just caught sight of Lady Gaga at last night's Brit Awards. But
we offer our eternal thanks anyway to the petite blond (slightly potty) one. Her hair was the only
receptacle at the show large enough to smuggle the entire Kickette team and our handbags
inside.
Because Victoria Beckham knocked her airport-chic look out of the park, we thought we'd throw a
quick WAGtastic "look for less" your way.
You may not be jetting off to... somewhere.... (Please. Don't expect us to google so close to
nap time), but damn it, you can look cute whilst stumbling down to the corner shop to buy a bag (or
two) of Wotsits.
The Posh One was spotted at the We Will Rock You show in London last night. Her dates
for the evening? Romeo and Cruz.
Victoria was wearing a striking white Maison Martin Margiela jacket and embellished trilby, with
new season Louboutin heels and a shimmery crocodile skin Birkin bag.
With David off in Milan having his golden balls compromised and Victoria Beckham spending more
time on planes and in airports than her own home, she's been doing some very uncharacteristic
things as of late.
Like wearing flat shoes in public. Regularly. Everyone is talking about it because, well, no one
has anything better to do, obviously.

"I travel a fair amount, and when I'm here in Los Angeles, everything revolves around the
kids... So if I'm not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children."

In other Posh news, her bunion is difficult to look at, and two of her dresses made debuts on
the Grammy Award red carpet.

T'was the bitchface heard round the world; your play, David Villa.
It would seem Spain's David Villa is hardly threatened by David Beckham's attempts to take his
KingBitcher badge of honour. He sees Beckham's "Oh, hell no" and is raising him a "Bish,
please."
In fact, he seems to have created a new category of bitchface: BitchBored.

This might be the ultimate in WAG faux pas, Kickettes.

- We know we must sound like a broken record, but for the new and old readers among us, please
keep in mind that while WC season is over, vacay season just got started! For example, our two
favourite Liverpool lads, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, were caught wading in the Formentera
water this past weekend; Raul and Mamen gave their daughter, Maria, her first dip in the Menorca
ocean; and prior to demonstrating his pre-season fitness, Aitor Ocio and his new
love(!
Don't panic, Kickettes, Sheree Murphy (wife of Australia and Galatasaray midfielder Harry
Kewell) has not broken both of her wrists. Nor is she using a new breakthrough anti-aging hand
treatment. The white wraps on her hands are for kickboxing.
Yes, exercise. Have you heard of it? We're not much familiar.
What went down this weekend goss-wise that you need to know about? Let's take a keen look, as

- Prior to the weekend kicking off in grand, drunken fashion, Sylvie van der Vaart played it
smart by showing off new shots from her campaign for Gillette razors.
Coleen Rooney, Victoria Beckham and Danielle Lloyd were three footballers' wives who were mixed in
with other notable UK celebrity mums in the "Bounty Celebrity Mum of the Year" shortlist. News of

- Shaun Wright-Phillips and NFL player Chad Ochocinco are such good friends that they trade
their autographed jerseys with one another.

By fulfilling all the criteria we require in a perfect footballer, David Beckham is the marker
that all other players should be striving to reach.
Firstly, he's generous. He takes his clothes off a lot. For fun and profit. He's also
thoughtful.
Warning: watching 90 minutes of the Becks and Borriello show may affect your ability to drive
or operate heavy machinery.

Judging by the number of readers that sent us the following photos (some of which we were
steadfastly photocopying and wallpapering across our front rooms when the email notifier went
"ping!"), everyone enjoyed the footy tremendously this weekend.
Well, let's edit: everyone enjoyed the men that weren't afraid to be men.

While we think that VB looks all kinds of fabulous shopping up a storm in Milan yesterday (in a
classic Chanel jacket and Jil Sander pants), we're in major covet on the shoes. Oh, those Louboutin
‘Maggie' pumps are so very swoon-worthy.
Victoria must be as enamoured with them as us, as they've graced her feet on several occasions;
at the theatre with her boys, and strolling around London looking fabulous in that same Chanel
jacket.
Earlier this week, Victoria Beckham presented her A/W 2010 collection in New York to rave
reviews. Indeed, Posh looks to have found her groove with fashion her dresses have been worn by
dozens of celebrities to some seriously high profile events.
Strangely, though no WAGs as yet have stepped up in fash-support of Lady V to wear her body-con,
structured looks.
Gaaargh. How do we even begin to describe how the news from Milan of David Beckham's Achilles
injury has left us feeling? Curtains are drawn, two (okay, three) tubs of Ben and Jerry's have been
devoured, and Kleenex supplies are in desperate need of a refill. Teary and sleepless, we spent the
night wishing for a fairy godmother to wave her wand and bring Becks to the ball South Africa.
Saturday
- In September there were whispers of a relationship between Nicklas Bendtner and telly presenter
Caroline Fleming. For those in need, finally there is closure: the couple have made their public
debut. Need a refresher on Ms. Fleming? She's the baroness 13-years Nicky's senior who once lived
in a castle.
You may have noticed we've been a little manflesh heavy recently. While this isn't necessarily a
problem, an overdose of anything is bad for one's health so we rather generously thought we would
refresh your palates with some WAG goss.
Above, you will see Abbey Clancy shopping. For discount carpet.
We'll keep this quick and relatively painless since we are probably all thinking the same
thing.
Although it seems David's relying on corduroy to nurse him back to health, we'd still
take we'd take his questionable lounge-wear over any style-off opponent. Including his impressively
polished wife, Victoria.
The latest installment of our famous 'Posh Prescription' advice column sees Ms Vicky Bee** tackle
an issue from one of the lesser known stars of the Spanish NT.
Take it away, ickle Freckle!
Q.
Dear Vicky Bee,
I'm one of Fernando Torres' many freckles.

Damn, it. Why don't they just show us a video of Lassie desperately trying to drag a sick,
orphaned child with a bad case of dandruff through a rainstorm? It would make us feel better than
to see how much David Beckham wants to get his feet on a football.

- Soon to be exes, Pato and Sthefany, narrowly escaped a mucho awkward run-in with one another
in Brazil this weekend. Sthef was there for modeling work while Pato was chillin' for pleasure.
- Seeing Victoria Beckham's extensions from all sides did not help her head's cause.

We are all painfully aware of Mrs. Beckham's preference for hair nets while in-flight, but her
latest bun has gotten itself an upgrade. If you examine closely, it's made of extensions rather
than the clip-on assortment.

Back in the days when footballers earned next to nothing, made crap records and had haircuts
resembling epileptic puppies, a favourite retirement plan for many was to open a pub in the English
countryside.
Stephen Ireland took his long-time lady Jessica Lawlor out to Rosso Restaurant on Friday night to
celebrate her 25th birthday. Jessica looks fab, no? She's wearing a Preen zebra print dress and
Carvela shoes with her Chanel handbag.
It's a long weekend (thank Iker), so this gossip sheet is a tad premature.
Hey Sthefany, karma's a bitch and her name is Miss Brasil.
Saturday
-As we mentioned last week, Pato turned 21. We've since learned that the occasion was rather
low-key, with the AC Milan man spending a quiet two days with Miss Brasil, Débora Lyra (and
her Fauxberry hat) touring Venice, Italy.
Victoria Beckham was snapped leaving her Manhattan hotel today she's getting ready for NY
Fashion Week, where she is set to debut her 2011 S/S collection on September 12th.
While we think the colour of Mrs Beckham's Goat dress is fabu, we can't help but feel this dress
is a little snoozeville for the run up to NYFW.
After yesterday's ‘zoom' related mayhem, we are pleased to supply you with a photo that requires
no digital enhancement. Heavens above, Davey B!
We watched Zizou watch something displeasing this weekend. Find out what else occurred outside your

- A wedded WAG war apparently broke out just before the weekend, with Wesley Sneijder's wife
Yolanthe Cabau accusing Patrick Kluivert's other half, Rossana de Lima, of overcharging the Dutch
couple for her nuptial planning skillz.
