Frank Lampard wins £300,000 in Las Vegas


Chelsea star knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em

Frank Lampard

Swinging bachelor Frank Lampard has been enjoying his freedom in the Nevada desert recently, and has been occupying most of his time with a role as the Wynn Hotel’s resident bikini inspector.

When the sun goes down, however, the Chelsea star has been hitting the casino, and it seems he’s been having more luck at the tables than he has attempting to disguise his poolside excitement with that awkward cross-legged pose.

According to The Sun, Lampsie won £300,000 playing roulette and blackjack in a single evening. That’s enough to pay for his plush accommodation, or perhaps a very good night at Spearmint Rhino.

Exclusive: Pictures from Wes Brown’s Las Vegas stag do


Manchester Utd star lives it up in fancy Vegas club

Wes Brown’s Stags

While representing the nation of Britain abroad, our fine citizens do their best to assimilate themselves with local culture, being careful not to impinge British values on the natives.

With this in mind, Wes Brown took his stag party to über-cool Las Vegas nightclub Lavo, where they partied in a VIP area adorned with a huge Union Jack flag.

Looks like Wes Brown is having fun in Las Vegas


Manchester Utd star lives it up in the City of Sin

Wes Brown

Here’s Wes Brown rockin’ the classic sunglasses inside and at night look at the Palms Casino, home of the rather good Playboy Club and the equally excellent Rain.

The Manchester Utd star chose Vegas for his Stag Weekend, and Danny Simpson, Jermaine Pennant, Charlton’s Jonathan Fortune, Plymouth’s Graham Stack and Southampton’s Adam Lallana helped him fend off the Bunnies.

Having just returned from a Vegas Stag Do ourselves, The Spoiler can only imagine what kind of debauchery and indulgence can be had out there with the budget of a professional footballer…

Wayne Rooney: still fat


Striker fails to trim down during summer of excess

Wayne Rooney is fat

It’s obviously a slow news day, as the two big stories in the papers are Rio Ferdinand’s Stamford Bridge steward kicking incident (which happened three months ago) and Wayne Rooney’s expanding waistline. The Sun claim the Manchester Utd striker’s summer of laying stagnant in a pool, emerging only to drink and eat fast food, has had a serious effect on his physique. He looked a bit portly in a friendly against Aberdeen this weekend, but wasn’t he always a little more rotund than is desirable for a professional footballer?

If you want to see a striker who has really been piling it on, check out this guy:

Ronaldo fat

Ronaldo, whose contract with AC Milan ended two weeks ago, is pictured testing the tensile strength of a yacht in Ibiza. It looks like he and pregnant WAG Bia Anthony are really enjoying the local cuisine…

Wayne Rooney has a hideous Stereophonics tattoo


Thank God he didn’t get one saying ‘Performance & Cocktails’

Wayne Rooney’s Stereophonics tattoo

Last month, we told you how Coleen organised a surprise appearance by the Stereophonics for the Rooney wedding reception, as they are Wayne’s favourite band. During their Vegas honeymoon, it appears that Wayne got out of the pool just long enough to have a tattoo etched onto his arm paying tribute to the Welsh rockers:

Wayne Rooney’s Stereophonics tattoo

The unsightly forearm inking says ‘Just Enough Education to Perform,’ the name of the third ‘Phonics long player. The album, whose hits include the anti-media anthem ‘Mr Writer‘ and ‘Vegas Two Times‘, was titled in reference to a term applied to soldiers who are barely capable dressing themselves, let alone firing a weapon. Having left school without a single GCSE, Wayne obviously felt this was a fitting message to have imprinted on his skin for the rest of his life.

Spoiler bonus: JEEP is said to be Wayne’s favourite Stereophonics albums, but it is one of their worst. Here’s a track from their brilliant debut Word Gets Around

Rooney hangs out with basketball legend during Vegas honeymoon


Wayne finally leaves the swimming pool, but doesn’t venture far

Wayne Rooney and LeBron james

Up until yesterday, only the promise of cheap fast food had been enough to lure Wayne and Coleen Rooney away from the steps of The Wynn hotel’s swimming pool. Now, however, the Manchester Utd striker has branched out to see what the rest of Las Vegas has to offer, by moving a few feet inside the building to the Wynn’s nightclub Blush.

He’s pictured above sharing a (carbohydrate-filled and alcoholic) beverage with heavily tattooed basketball star LeBron James. Whether Coleen was still shrivelling away in the pool at this point is unknown.

Will Wayne and Coleen ever stray more than twenty yards from their hotel? Will this honeymoon go down as one of the most boring in history? The case continues…
