Showbiz desks have been left agog today with news that the actress Katherine Heigl (pronounced “Hi girl!”) suffered a textbook “triple cringe” at an awards show. One of the straps broke on her beautiful red dress! Thankfully, she was alert enough to prevent an airing of the full boob.
Over on the sports desk, financial stories have been flying in thick and fast, and here’s what we know today thanks to all of the most urgent newspapers (The Daily Mail, Mirror, Sun etc…):
Of course, probably the most baffling story of the day concerns the missing body of the soul/funk legend, James Brown. Apparently, it’s vanished. Everyone has been freaking out, some unable to work through the worry of it all, others playing The Payback (after the jump) over and over again in an attempt to dance the weirdness away. Where the hell is he?
Anyway, one small group who have something very much in common with ”the hardest working man in showbusiness” are the hardest working men/women in journalism - the football writers. Here’s what we know today, thanks to The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Telegraph, The Mirror etc…
For those of you far too busy composing John Terry chants, and sewing together banners fashioned from old bed sheets, and bits of curtain, Ireland and Brazil had a little kick about last night, which produced a couple of goals - one good, the other humiliating. Above are the highlights accompanied by some quite breathtaking commentary.
Sometimes in life, you can have too much of a good thing - so much so that some crackpot even came up with a phrase about these situations often leaving a man/woman wanting less.
All of which leads completely seamlessly to Brazil’s World Cup side, which will clearly feature many good things, but perhaps too much of one particular thing - namely showponies who like to operate on the left. Even more namely, Robinho and Ronaldinho. Can they both play in the same team?
This wasn’t a problem when the latter - who, by the way, could probably devour a pumpkin through a tennis racket - took the decision to become increasingly bulbous and less good at football, but now that he’s hit something of his old stride over in Milan, Mr Dunga is faced with a real mind-melter.
But what would YOU do? That’s the question. Let us know with a vote and a comment.
For those having trouble deciding, you can see both in action after the jump.
After a few years living the high life in European football, it might serve as something of a bumpy landing when Robinho strings up his golden laces and steps out for his new/old club.
With that in mind, The Spoiler thought it a great idea to learn a little bit more about this weird Santos place that has snared one of football’s most expensive disappointments. Here’s what was uncovered.
A cruel “truth bomb” has been let off today, by one of those Brazilian infants being used as bartering tools in the Robinho-to-Santos saga. One that delivers a metaphorical rabbit punch to the Man City solar plexus.
Speaking out on the rumours that he might be ushered off to the northwest of rainy old England to allow Robinho another stab at the warm Brazilian sunshine, Paulo Henrique said this:
