First of all, Joe Cole’s little family is about as cute as they come. Here’s a recent photo of Carly and Ruby in England’s HELLO! magazine.
Second of all, had you heard that Carly got carjacked a few months ago??? What sort of vile creature would want to scare the bejeezus out of this dear, sweet woman?
The answer: 8 assholes on motorcycles. Not just 1 rogue thief… EIGHT masked thugs! This is some crazy Russian mafia ish!!!
Along with taking a precious photo, the Liverpool footballer’s wife opened up for the first time about the incident to HELLO! this week:

With news of both a death and a heart-attack in the World of Soccer today, a little levity seems due. And as the universe has been obsessed with Wayne Rooney lately, it only seems fitting that we bring you a comedy piece featuring Wazza himself!
So, apparently, Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand used to have a television show. And apparently, part of the show involved him “merking” people. What in the world is “merked,” you ask?
Well, it seems to mean the same thing as “punk’d.” So, for a moment in time, Rio Ferdinand was the UK’s Ashton Kutcher. Prepare yourself.
VIDEO – Rio merks Rooney:
Steven Gerrard, Joleon Lescott, Shaun Wright-Philips and Ashley Young make kids smile at a local children’s hospital. It’s pretty damn cute.

Guess who’s PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can all now put to bed the speculation as to why Abbey stayed with Crouchie through all of the rumors that he had recently slept with prostitute Monica Mint.
Peter recently revealed, “Abbey told me on July 25 but we agreed to keep it private until she was ready to announce it.”
He must have felt like a real asshole that day, knowing that he had been running around behind her back… And knowing that the rumor-mill would catch up with him someday, which it did two weeks later.
Best wishes, you two. Having a prostitution scandal mar your pregnancy must suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!

The Rooneys have just issued a statement that the media is running WILD with… It reads as follows:
Filed under: 3) Sex Sells Soccer, 9) Video (Misc.), England, Manchester United

Wayne Rooney’s name has been blazing through the tabloids these past few days. Originally, the rumors only lay on the allegation level, but today, the Manchester United striker spoke about his woeful behavior.
“I’m desperate to get her back. I will do anything to get her back. I realise what a fool I’ve been and how much hurt I’ve caused her.
“I will do anything, anything, to convince her that I am truly sorry. I am prepared to miss matches, if that is what it takes.”
Despite a very strong showing for England amidst the allegations, things are beginning to look bleak for ol’ Roo. Will he continue to put on the same brave face displayed against Switzerland? Or should ManU fans prepare themselves for a downward spiral similar to that of countryman John Terry last year?
Time will tell.
Unfamiliar with Rooney’s prostitute scandal? Fear not! An Asian news group has created a bizarre animation detailing each step of the affair.

FIFA, the world’s soccer governing body, released it’s monthly world rankings yesterday. Though there was little movement in the ranks in comparison to July’s list, US Soccer took a significant tumble downward. This might come as a surprise after a respectable showing in South Africa, but FIFA provides explanation on its website:
“Only two international matches have been taken into account for the new edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, which is hardly surprising for the period immediately after the FIFA World Cup™. Consequently, virtually all of the moves of note – whether up or down the ranking – are due to points won in previous years dropping in value. USA … are the biggest victims this month as their four victories at the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009, which were valuable in terms of points, have now been devalued.”
One word: Boo.

Crouchy, Crouchy, CROUCHY! Have you lost your DAMN mind???
You’re engaged to arguably the most attractive woman in the world, and you decide to get a hooker? Really?!? You must have forgotten that Abbey Clancy is your fiancee… You MUST have!!!
Don’t get us wrong. Monica Mint (above) is very attractive, but you’ve got this at home with a ring on it:

And, no kidding about your fiancee being arguably the red-hottest, smokin’est woman on the globe. Remember when she was chosen by Sports Illustrated to represent your country in a sexy body paint photo shoot… and was hotter than all of the other women of the World Cup combined?

If this juicy bit of gossip turns out to be true, you CLEARLY have lost your damn mind. Here’s hoping — for your sake — this is just a nasty little rumor.
Otherwise, you’ll want to cry each time you think of this:

Poor Cheryl Cole.
First, she married a jerk-face footballer in Ashley Cole. Second, she has her name dragged through the tabloids during each rumor of his messing around. Fiiiiiiiinally, she gets a divorce so that she can move on and focus on her career, untalented as she may be.
And then, she gets malaria. But, it’s not serious.
And then, doctors discover that it IS serious.
And now, the beauty is losing sleep — worried that the disease is slowly ruining her singing voice. It seems Cheryl Cole’s rollercoaster life has taken another plummet, sadly.
Here’s to her health and further resilience! As Perez Hilton updated yesterday, Cheryl wants back on the X-Factor:

The World Cup doesn’t always bring out the best in its stars. To show you, FANunited has collected a few of the most notable temper tantrums from this year’s soccer spectacle.
England’s Wayne Rooney was none-to-pleased with either his team’s performance nor the fans’ reaction to an embarrassing tie with Algeria. Here he is walking off the field after the final whistle:
(Speculation of the exact wording can be found here.)
In a similar but more muted moment, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo spits in disgust towards a television camera.
