Zizou turns his immeasurable talent to the world of billiards

While we are certain that Zinedine Zidane excels at any sport he attempts, the pool skills shown above may not actually represent the Frenchman’s talent on the table.

After a little bit of research, we discovered that the video is part of a new campaign for Grand Opticals, the company who provide Zizou’s natty headbutt-proof glasses.

Don’t let the video grab fool you - this is HOT STUFF

Some very sexy relaxation is going down at a hotel pool somewhere in the Far East. Ignore Edwin van der Sar’s woeful backstroke technique and enjoy.

From the exact same people who brought you Being Coleen’s friend, part one: The secret agony and Being Coleen’s friend, part two: Step aside, everyone

As established, it’s not easy being Coleen’s friend. She makes you feel badly dressed with her smooth sense of style, she’ll happily barge in and destroy your big day, and she berates lowly McDonalds workers for not having lobster on the menu. Presumably.

But even worse than all of the above are her intrusive phone calls at all hours of the day/night. In the above picture, she is lounging around in a stateside swimming pool, casually phoning one of her pals to brag about how boiling hot it is, and how much money she just spent on lunch. All the while ignoring that it’s the middle of the night in dreary old Blighty, and the sad voice at the end of the line needs to be up at 7am to trudge to their lowly day job, praying that something exciting might happen for once. Please, just anything. Even something bad.

These drop-everything-and-listen-to-my-incessant-boasting phone calls can take place anywhere from twelve times a day, to not at all for three months. It all depends whether Coleen can be bothered to like you any more.

Alright, not really swimming, more voguing

It’s hard to know where you stand with Ronaldo. When Nereida Gallardo came along, everyone assumed she was just another one of his fleeting sex partners, she wouldn’t last. And yet, she did, clocking up quite a few weeks of sprawling on his satin sheets as he tirelessly insisted that they have constant energetic intercourse. Hence, we’re not entirely sure whether Letizia Filippi is one for the future, or whether the tanned winger has already tired of her after a short-lived, but no doubt sensual, love affair.

Either way, above is a picture of her lounging about near a swimming pool in Italy, and, should you wish to have a look, there’s another picture after the break.
