This could be a little harsh but if you’re no more of a fan of career football groupies than I am then this ‘God hates WAGs’ t-shirt might make you chuckle. A pun on the ‘God hates fags’ slogan used by extreme Christians it’s a good way of poking fun at the latest cultural vacuum. It’s no surprise that the people behind this are Holy Moly the amusing gossip site, and they’ve got a whole stack of other slogan t-shirts for your pleasure.
David Beckham made waves in the Daily Mail today as they caught him wearing a Cincinnatti Reds baseball cap, a fashion faux pas which is apparently "equivalent to a Newcastle fan wearing a rugby shirt from London." Accusing him of upsetting LA Galaxy fans before he’s even played a match the Mail called the article "Beckham’s sporting fashion blunder". Now I have it on good authority from a bona fide American that this isn’t a big deal at all, so what’s the beef Daily Mail?
In a way I’m glad he’s out of his all-white stage ensemble but his latest outfit has me screaming "Oi, Borrell Nooooo!" in the style of a 1990′s Paul Whitehouse. Cowboy boots and stretch denim are always a bad combination, especially if you’re so slim that the boots flap about your legs. Kirsten Dunst certainly looks very happy to be in the young man’s company, or perhaps she’s just smiling down at those flappy, gappy,
boots.
Johnny made headlines recently when he was the seventh man in history to appear on the cover of Vogue, alongside Natalia Vodianova where he told reporters: "Stage gear is like armour, the moment you pull it on, you can feel yourself going into character." Wonder what character he was trying to portray this time…
Freddie Ljungberg, Leah Wood and Lemar all attended a party at Claridges for the launch of Puma’s French 77. French 77 is sports lifestyle collection inspired by tennis playboy Guillermo Vilas circa 1970s. Catwalk Queen was there to watch on as electric violinist/model Linzi Stoppard
opened the catwalk show to a bulging ballroom of trendies. Kim was obviously happy to see Ljungberg: "The range
was indeed quite retro featuring tennis gear that your mum could have
worn back in the day, only with a modern twist. The drinks may have run
dry a little early and an electric fan wouldn’t have gone astray but
did I mention Freddie Ljungberg?" See after the jump for a campaign image.
It’s always a bit depressing when you see your heroes doing adverts; admittedly this French Vittel advert isn’t too bad but it still hurts to see the Thin White Duke hamming it up. Set in an imaginary flatshare he has with Ziggy Stardust and some of his other alter-egos Bowie is exasperated at their mineral water consumption (how selfish!) and wanders down the street to purchase another bottle of Vittel.
Hip Hop’s finest canine creation, Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr) has been charged with Gun and Marijuana possession. The rapper is known for his love of marijuana, and was arrested last year after police
found a gun and marijuana in his car in a
US airport. The Dogg could face up to four years in prison if he is
convicted on both charges as he already has previous drugs possession charges.
Nike have released a ‘Fallen Hero’ range of sneakers in which they pay homage to one hit wonder Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli who were exposed as fakes then either Milli or Vanilli killed himself, and Pee Wee Herman who found out that masturbating in a porn cinema is not compatible with being a children’s presenter. Click on the thumbnail to see the disturbing insole in Pee Wee’s trademark grey and red colours showing a figure, sitting alone in a cinema, hand on ‘lap’ and click the link to see a picture of the Vanilla Ice shoe.
A few days ago Keith Richards told the NME he once mixed his dad’s ashes in with a bit of chang and snorted him. The piratic rock star said: "He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive." Apparently it was all a joke and Richards explained to MTV.com what actually happened to the ashes "The truth of the matter is that I planted a sturdy English Oak. "I took the … ashes [and sprinkled them beneath the tree], and he is now growing oak trees and he would love me for it!" He added: "I wouldn’t take cocaine at this point in my life, unless I wished to commit suicide." Looks like Keef has got more in common with Alan Titchmarsh than Jimi Hendrix nowadays.
New Balance have produced a trainer inspired by Peter Saville’s designs for Joy Division. The white trainer features Saville’s now famous image he created for Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album on the sole and ‘Fact 10′ the catalogue number for the record. As usual Gawker added their amusing tuppence worth: "Yeah, that’s how we always pictured Ian Curtis. Jogging like a prat.
Maybe with some ankle weights, and a track suit! Right up until the
moment he hanged himself." New Balance themselves can’t reveal anything other than to confirm that it’s something they’re working on. See after the jump for another picture.
I’m in love with these Lacoste ‘René’ pumps from Office (£49.99), I’ve been saying ‘Oh René’ over and over again in my head in the style of Allo’ Allo’. You can’t beat them for retro simplicity, they will look great with some grey slacks and a polo shirt for a relaxed summer look. Taking your style cues from René Lacoste himself, France’s tennis champion from the ’20s and ’30s is a much better idea than using say Wayne Rooney or Freddie Flintoff for your sartorial inspiration.
I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Patrick Wolf; as a 14-year old he started performing with cult band Minty starting a career in music that has seen him produce three albums, his latest release, ‘The Magic Position’ came out in February. Wolf’s a bit of an indie darling so I was really surprised to see him on the Charlotte Church show, and even more surprised when he performed a cover of Prince’s "When Doves Cry" with her. It’s by no means as good as the Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker duet at the NME awards a few months back, and it takes a while for Charlotte’s voice to warm up but it’s great.
US men’s fashion experts are hoping that David Beckham will inject a bit of style into the sporting world in America. "Hopefully it will inspire them to lift their game," said
Adam Rapoport, style editor at men’s fashion magazine GQ. "I
think athletes respond to competition well. If someone’s
looking better than them they want to get on par with them." Despite not yet arriving in the US Beckham has already appeared on the cover of US men’s style mag Details. Wendell Brown, senior fashion editor at Esquire, explained how US sports stars need sartorial guidance: "Desperately. And they’re in need of a tailor, I
hope Beckham has a major impact."
