Football, wags and a star treatment
I’m still unsure as to whether I can see my friend over the weekend. He messaged me this morning saying 1 day to go…I replied saying, “please don’t get too excited, don’t want to disappoint you”…he sheepishly replied he was talking about the world cup starting-
classic!
Celeb gossip from the football world
Does it really only happen once every four years? I certainly feel like football is never off the telly. They even re-arranged Coronation Street the other week (much to mum’s horror), there was substantial unrest in the Donovan household that evening.
There are two things that are keeping me positive and will entertain me over the next many masculine days, weeks and months of constant football. Firstly, I have been to South Africa so feel I can justify talking about my trip every time any football comes on the big screen
and secondly the English wags.
As every girl, I have an unhealthy obsession with them; their clothes, rings, watches, handbags, makeup, scandal and who is friends with who. I wonder who the ‘chief wag’ will be this year. Victoria Beckham won’t be stealing the limelight in the stands so I have been racking my brains about who the papers will target as the new big cheese and who will be labelled as this year’s ‘wannabe wag’.
A very small percentage of me feels a little bit sorry for them, after all they are just normal women with normal pressures to look good and gosh if I was criticised as much as them for having even as much as a hair out of place, I would undoubtedly turn into a hermit and would refuse to go out.
This feeling of pity for them only lasts for about twenty seconds as I then remember that their boyfriends/hubbies earn 100k per week and actually they should look good for that much pampering.
So…..my selection process begins!
They have all started having babies this year, popping them out like nobody’s business…..must be a correlation of how the credit crunch has affected footballer’s earnings…..obviously staying in and spending less money. Yeah right!
I have to start with my favourite…Colleen Rooney, she did after all once say she liked my shoes! I love everything about her; she always looks immaculate, has a handbag and a pair of louboutins to match every outfit and you can’t help but pat her on the back for staying with Wayne for the cause of fashion (doubt it is for his dashing good looks). There is very little scandal on them as a couple apart from Wayne’s supposed night with an old prossie. I think she is my couture queen.
Next on my list is Abbey Clancy; Peter Crouch’s missus. I have never forgiven him for not doing the robot dance upon request on a night out once, so already she has got a lot of ground to make up to be my favourite. However, I did see her on TV with her mum embarking on a nine day camel trip across the desert with a family of gypsy dancers
and she came across really well, if a little dipsy. She is up there on the gossip front as I am sure Crouch once publically dumped her over fax! Oh exciting.
Cary Zucker
Personal trainer Cary Zucker is really attractive; I’m not sure what I like more about her, the fact she is apparently always first at the bar and last to leave or her natural ‘I’ve made no effort but am still gorgeous’ look. She is also married to Joe Cole who I think is rather tasty, that helps her popularity vote. Stevie G’s other half Alex Curran is a classic wag type; orange, boob enhanced and designer clad. That’s really as far as my knowledge of
her goes apart from her allegedly steeling from Jennifer Ellison….oh the scousers!
Then there is Lampard’s bird Christine Bleakley from the one show. She seemingly loves fake tan and killer heels., often making me laugh with Ginger bafoon Mr Evans and she did water ski across the channel for sport aid. Ah I do like her then. She has creeped up to my top three!
The Carragher pair have been together since school and are still very happy. Is that right? Doesn’t sound very wag-esque to me! Nicola owns a spa and is always well turned out but definitely isn’t bling enough for me so not scored well in the ‘Donovan wag poll.’
The next pair of childhood sweethearts are John Terry and Toni Poole; laughable. Apart from him earning £130k a week, I really don’t understand why she has been so forgiving and can’t look passed that so she is at the bottom of my list!
And finally……full time yummy mummy Rebecca Ellison, the lovely wife of Rio. Poor old injured Rio. I wonder if they’ll pay him to sit on the bench and look miserable though? Pretty sure I could do a good job of that. Rebecca is one of the most inspiring wags, admits it’s
hard being a mum of two and doesn’t always look like she’s on the red carpet but equally does scrub up well too!
Hhmmmm….decisions. Why am I pretending? I have to chose Colleen, we’re practically best mates, she has spoken to me! And Rooney will undoubtedly be the star of South Africa, so I am predictably backing the winning team and voting Wayne and Colleen for being the most
liked, coolest, happiest and stylish couple. I did also see Wayne training in a necklace….very trendy!
So, if you are as un-excited about football as me but do like to treat yourself like a wag then why not nip down to Sienna Spa and Healthclub and have a star treatment!
