David Villa and his wife Patricia González are celebrating the birth of their second child, a daughter named Olaya.
Olaya was born yesterday, August 18th, weighing just over 3 kilos. The Valencia website has confirmed the happy news.
To know David, is to love him - especially when you see him with his older daughter, Zaida.
Congrats!!
It's hardly going to put a dent in the billionaire's finances. But he may well be on his way to raising his very own football team as Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich is set to become a father for the SIXTH time.
The 42-year-old's Russian girlfriend, fashion designer and socialite Daria Zhukova, is said to be six months pregnant with their first child. A source said he and Daria - better known as Dasha - 28, are 'ecstatic and excited' at the prospect of becoming parents. Abramovich and Dasha, who have been dating for three years, discovered she was pregnant following a holiday in the Caribbean. Roman, who already has two sons and three daughters with his ex-wife Irina, broke the news to close friends and family last month.
A source told The Daily Mirror: 'They have been dying to tell people the good news but wanted to make sure everything was OK.'
As yet, the couple do not know the sex of the baby, which, friends say, will be born in Moscow and will be brought up a Chelsea fan. The source said: 'They are both ecstatic and excited and can't wait to raise a child together. 'Dasha is so petite it's impossible to notice she has a baby bump, even though she is six months gone.' Mr Abramovich's spokesperson said: 'We don't comment on personal matters.' Roman met the daughter of Russian oligarch Alexander Zhukova at a New Year's Eve party hosted by her father in 2006. But apparently romance did not blossom until he had split from second wife Irina.
Their divorce ended in a record settlement rumoured to be £1.5billion made by Abramovich to the mother of his five children. Former model Dasha heads up her own trendy fashion label, Kova & T, and is a regular on the art scene. She was recently made editor of style magazine Pop and her first edition is due out on September 1. In September, she opened The Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture, a gallery of contemporary art in Moscow
Dasha's father is a billionaire who was arrested in Italy years ago for arms smuggling to the former Yugoslavia and spent six months in a Turin jail. He now owns one of the largest villas in Sardinia where he spends six months a year.

Good morning to you! :) Today, we bring you a hunk from the land of the rising sun, rice balls, and Tokyo!! Today's hunk recently transfered away from Celtic to join La Liga. Today's hunk....Shunsuke Nakamura!!
Shunsuke here was born on June 24, 1978 in Yokohama, Japan. He is one of the most prominent and successful Asian players to have played in Europe and on 13 September 2006 became the first Japanese player to score in the UEFA Champions League and the second Asian player to do so. He is also well known for his free kick-taking abilities.
He has won the Asian Cup in 2000 and 2004 with the Japanese national football team, and was named Most Valuable Player in the 2004 competition. He has also appeared in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, and the 2000 Summer Olympics as a member of the Japanese Under-23 team.
In his first season with Celtic, Nakamura helped the club win the Scottish Premier League and Scottish League Cup. His contributions to the Japanese national football team are represented by 22 goals. His former clubs include Yokohama F. Marinos and Reggina, for whom he scored 38 and 12 goals respectively before moving to Celtic on 25 July 2005 for a fee of around £1.25 million
Many media have speculated that Nakamura returned to his hometown club Yokohama F. Marinos after the four year contract with Celtic. In June 2009, just before a medical checkup in Yokohama, the negotiation broke down due to unknown reasons. On 22nd June 2009, it was announced that Nakamura had agreed terms with Spanish Primera Division side Espanyol. He agreed to join on a two-year contract, subject to a medical examination.
Nakamura married a former Japanese talent in 2004. In the same year, his first son was born. His second son was born on January 15, 2008 in Glasgow, Scotland. Nakamura enjoys baseball, which is the most popular sport in Japan. His favourite team is Yomiuri Giants. He bats right-handed and throws right-handed though he is a left-footed footballer. According to the Evening Times, he is a fan of the Grand Theft Auto and Gran Turismo video games. He has appeared with Zico on the front cover of the Japanese releases of Konami's Winning Eleven video game series (WE 5 WE 9, WE 9: Ubiquitous Evolution and WE 10) in 2001, 2005 and 2006. He also appeared on the front cover of Namco's Football Kingdom Trial Edition in 2004. He is the paid promoter of the Yamada electronics chain. His current boot sponsor is Adidas.
**Any pic of him and his wife would be appreciated!!**

Credit to the people at the Sun for this lovely gross photo. I can't believe that I am actually going to say this, but Paris Hiltion has
just ruined my chance of ever liking Cristiano Ronaldo.
A little background info for the foreign readers who don't know who Hilton is. She is an heiress to a hotel fortune. She really isn't known for anything else. She is what we call the bike of the "entertainment" world because everyone has had a go on her.
Anyway, Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Madrid is a world record.
The scoring machine and Paris got down and dirty as they teamed up to celebrate the soccer ace's £80million transfer.
A witness said: "They were sucking each other's faces off like their plane was going down. At one point Ronaldo had a bottle between his legs and Paris was stroking it. It was very racy."
The pair were united in Hollywood's posh My House nightspot as news broke that Man Utd had accepted the mega-offer for Ronaldo from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
After sharing steamy cuddles and expensive champagne for two hours, Paris headed to sister Nicky's home in the Hollywood Hills at 2:05am.
Ronaldo, 24, joined her there an hour later after a brief stop at his hotel.
He left at 5am with a broad grin plastered across his face.
Paris, 28, last night confirmed she and the Portuguese wonder winger - now the world's most expensive player - were an item.
She told a friend: "He's hot, a real athlete - and the chemistry between us was electric."
The American party girl hitched up with Ronaldo just 24 hours after dumping previous love Doug Reinhardt. He has played baseball for the Anaheim Angels and Baltimore Orioles - and is a TV personality in the States.
But in a withering put-down last night, Paris told a friend: "Cristiano's much better than my ex. He was nothing but a low-paid minor league baseball player."
Ronaldo is on holiday in California after Manchester United's season ended in Premier League glory and Champions League defeat. Paris tried to pull him at the same time a year ago, thrusting herself at him in LA club Villa.
On that occasion the player knocked her back. But he never fell off her radar.
And a pal said: "She was determined to get her man this time. And what Paris wants, Paris gets. "She has been telling anyone who will listen that Ronaldo is the hottest thing she has ever seen. "She thinks he is sexy and exotic, and loves his body. And she loves men with accents. She says it's like an aphrodisiac."
Ronaldo made a beeline for Paris as soon as he spotted her with Nicky in My House.
He had intended to have drinks with some cousins but quit them to spend the rest of the night with Paris.
A nightclub source said: "As soon as he saw Paris, Cristiano kept staring at her and looking her up and down. He went over to her table to say hi - and appeared to be smitten. The two were flirting and laughing together all night. It was as if no woman but Paris existed in the club. Cristiano told Paris all about his new deal with Real Madrid and they toasted his massive new pay packet with Cristal champagne."
A bottle of Cristal can cost up to £650. And the club source said Ronaldo spent more than £15,000 on the bubbly and other drinks.
An onlooker said: "Ronaldo and Paris were all over each other, kissing in a VIP booth. They were kissing on the lips and meeting people as a couple, holding hands or with his arm around her. Her hands were all over his lap. There was a lot of very suggestive body language.
"They looked adorable together. It was as though they'd been dating for ages. He was reclined all the way back in a chair with his legs spread wide open. It looked almost pornographic.
"Paris's black minidress was getting higher and higher as the night wore on. At one point people on a neighbouring table threw silver confetti at them. A bunch stuck to Paris's upper thigh, which she draped over Ronaldo's lap."
At times Nicky tried to haul the pair up to dance with her. But they were too transfixed by each other to move.
The onlooker said: "Nicky was looking very bored and eventually she leaned over Paris's lap and grabbed Ronaldo's hands and started dancing with him in the seat.
"Then she stood up and started dancing, trying to get the happy couple to join her. But they were too busy going at it."
Paris had promised to marry strapping Reinhardt, 24. But she ended their six-month relationship after a row in another LA club on Tuesday night.
Reinhardt later arrived at her gated estate to discover he had been locked out.
Just before the split, he described Paris as "the Princess Diana of our generation"
He wrote on Twitter: "Such an amazing woman, so giving, gracious and beautiful. I love my princess. Paris is my world. Such a sweet angel."
Today, through a statement, Doug wished Paris the best of luck.
It read: "Doug refuses to take part in this ridiculous media circus. He wishes Paris and all of her future boyfriends the best of luck."
A word to Real Madrid....WATCH OUT FOR PARIS! She is a (excuse my language) a filthy slut and she will out a stain on your team if she continues to be with Ronaldo.
Also, about Hilton...she would be nothing if the media didn't pay attention to her.
Finally, Cristiano....GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Trust me Cristiano. I usually don't care about you, but oh dear god....this is the worse of the worse. Get back with one of your old ladies. :S
Anyway, thank you so much to the Sun for the photos and for the quotes. For video, and more photos, please go to the Sun's website

Oh! It feels so good to be back
updating the blog!! So sorry you guys! :)
Anyway, this will probably be one of the few posts you see from me this summer. :(
Sadly, I have to turn this laptop in on the 22nd of June.
So, I will probably be gone all summer. As for the tournament on the group Ladies Of Ole Ole, it is on hold until further notice.
So, anyway, to the post. While everyone was crazy following the Champions League final this past week, we had a couple of gents take themselves off the market....perhaps for good. Who are these two men? Well, Fernando Torres and Alexandre Pato, of course!
Pato is getting married to his long time sweetheart Sthefany on July 7th. (Yes, her name is spelled that way) But, how much will it cost? The stats will make you wish you were getting married!
Initial reports suggested an OTT blingalicious wedding with the couple spending $500,000 to entertain 1500 guests. Soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Pato apparently picked Dolce & Gabbana (of AC Milan calendar fame) to design their ensembles. With You! Magazine “exclusively” reports the couple will tie the knot at the Copacabana Palace in Brazil – and pictured Sthef outside the hotel yesterday after meeting with some professional planners.
Sthefy’s mother, however, threw her hat into the gossip ring yesterday after she confirmed the couple’s speedy nuptials in an interview. She insisted the ceremony will occur in Milan – not Brazil – and only close friends and family will be invited.
Now, on to Nando...
Fernando Torres married long, long, LONG time WAG Olalla Domingez in Madrid this past week. The wedding was so secret, the Spanish media didn't even know anything about it! Hopefully, some photos will be released from the couple soon. But, here is what the Spanish media IS reporting about the wedding:
I still commend Nando on his stealthy-ness and REALLY hope some photos surface soon. Until then, we can only mourn the fact that our Nando is off the market.
*moment of silence*

Gooooooood Wednesday morning everyone! (Yes, it is still morning here.) Anyway, I have been making my rounds today and I came across this little snip of news. So, enjoy. Once again, thank you to the lovely ladies at Kickette for this. :)
Reports coming from Chi magazine are saying that Gigi's girlfriend Alena is expecting another baby! Gender is yet to be known, so she can't be to far in. The couple already has a son named Louis, who will be 2 in December.
CONGRATS!! From everyone here at the blog! ^^
More to come later, I MUST (<===notice the sarcasim) get back to my homework.
Friday, 01 May 09, 02:10 PM
Hello everyone! Hope you are having a WONDERFUL Friday! :) So, I was doing my usual wandering around the internet, listing to my Basshunter music when I came across this. A BIG thank you goes out to las chicas at Kickette. :)
Two very good looking footballers are now back on the market!! Want to know who!? Well, scroll down ladies!!
Tottenham's lovable benchwarmer Carlo Cudicini and Athletic de Bilbao’s Aitor Ocio. I must say, they are both looking lovely in these photos, no?
Carlo’s long-term relationship with model/Italian Big Brother presenter, Alessia Marcuzzi is DONE! According to reports coming out of the lovely countries of Italy and the UK, Alessia is currently with Pietro Sermonti. The two are said to be “inseparable”. Poor Carlo!
It seems like Aitor has been hit with the breakup bug as well. He and longtime wife Laura Sanchez are (finally) done! The couple separated a while back, but waited to file the divorce papers (citing distance as the reason for the split) until March.
Anywho, GET TO EUROPE NOW!
(VfB match preview to come later today)

Hey everyone! Welcome to my first post on Kristen's Blog. My name is Stephanie and I, along with Kristen and Sebii will be bringing you the latest news from the footballing world.
Tuesday, 14 April 09, 01:43 PM
Oh goodness. Yes, today's post is about the WAGs of the footballing world. (Big, BIG thank you to Kickette for this!) See if you can follow this?
Danielle Lloyd has been spotted making herself at home with Jermain at the Tottenham players lounge. She’s also been hanging out at his £3 million home - the one he used to share with fiancée, Charlotte Mears.
Charlotte was one of the esteemed group featured on the WAGs Boutique, and has written tips on WAG travel for the Home Office. She and Jermaine got engaged in February and rumours started flying about Jermain being unfaithful back in July; the pair split up a few weeks after.
Before hooking up with Jermain, Danielle was seen table dancing and flirting with Jermaine Pennant and Jerome Thomas at a nightclub in London. She then was the recipient of a mini beat down by a random blonde who didn’t like the behaviour.
Danielle’s long journey into baller beds began with the geriatric playboy Teddy Sheringham, who she started dating during her brief stint as Miss Great Britain. Shortly afterwards, she ran her rather bigoted mouth on national television, lost her title and broke up with Teddy about 80 million times in a four month period.
During one of the Teddy break up periods, Danielle was out clubbing and began snogging the pants off of Marcus Bent as a ploy to make Teddy jealous. Teddy left the club with several dozen women completely unphased. But, a new relationship was born and many a paparazzi photo of Danielle and Marcus on vacation was snapped/mocked/etc.
Marcus is currently dating Gemma Atkinson, whom he dated briefly a few years ago when he left his long term baby mama for Gemma.
Gemma used to date Cristiano Ronaldo, but the whole prostitute pool party situ put a damper on things.
Gemma was rumored to have had a fling with C-Ron’s team mate, Alan Smith - who has a girlfriend.
Chantelle Houghton, a reality TV “star” of D-list proportions, worked her weave off trying to hook up with Jermain Defoe, and the hard graft paid off. The pair dated for a few months before Jermain cheated on Chantelle. Never mind that Chantelle broke the cardinal rule of dating her friend, Danielle’s, ex-boyfriend, she was still shocked and heartbroken.
Chantell did learn a lot about love though. At the end of her relationship with Jermain, she declared: Expensive shoes don’t make you happy, they really don’t.
There’s no helping some people.
After a brief period of dating “regulars” and pledging never to hook up with ballers again, Danielle has now returned to the Tottenham grounds to date her third Spurs player - Jamie O’Hara. No, we’ve never heard of him either.
From Teddy to Jermain to Jamie - the status progression is far from inspiring. We girl-crushed on this?
ALSO!!! Danielle allegedly hooked up with Armand Traore, Gerard Pique and Ryan Babel at some point last year.

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! Sorry
for not updating the blog. I have been very busy with STEP testing and also jumping for joy because of some family things that are happening for Easter! Also, because of some personal things
involving a loved one. :( Anyway, here you all go! :D
So, I want to give a big thank you to the girls at Kickette for this spot. :)
Why I have a pic of Spongebob here? You will never believe me!
Victoria Beckham has been added to the cast list for an episode of Spongebob Squarepants. She has been casted to play a "posh, English princess." According to a source close to Beckham, "Network bosses have been in touch with her ever since, offering her more work."
Celebs on shows such as Spongebob are not rare. Such names as Johnny Depp, Alton Brown, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, and Scarlett Johansson have all appeared on Spongebob.
When asked about the Beckham brood, the source also said, "Her sons Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz are sure to be thrilled with their mom’s latest Sponge Bob gig."
RAFA SAYS THAT FERGIE IS SCARED
Yes, all my Manchester United readers, you read that correctly. According to our friends at Goal.com, Rafa has taken this feud to another level.
"It is not mind games, I think it maybe is that he is a little bit scared [of us]," Benitez told reporters at a press conference today. "I do not have a problem with United. Clearly one of us, either Chelsea or us, will end up focusing just on the Premier League after this. I think Sir Alex will be supporting Liverpool in this tie because he knows we are the bigger threat now. If we continue in the Champions League maybe he will think we will tire. If we are not in this competition then he knows that we will be a [bigger] threat in the Premier League. If Chelsea are not in the competition, then he knows they will then be a threat also in the league. But he will lose anyway, whoever goes out, because they will still be a big threat to United. You have to prepare well for every single Premier League game, it is tough (to be in the Champions League as well). So he will clearly be supporting us tomorrow and next week. I would like to be worried about both competitions, it means we will continue to be successful. We just concentrate on our team, while he likes to talk too much about other teams."
Benitez also reacted unconcernedly to United's stunning weekend victory over Aston Villa, stating,
"We knew there would be situations like this, with us one point ahead, or one point behind. And everyone knows five minutes [of injury time] at Old Trafford is a very long time. I watched the game, but once United scored their second you felt they would win the game. He [Ferguson] is in the driving seat now and in a better position, but there is still a long way to go and we have confidence. We are pushing them and we will push them until the end."
Meanwhile, Liverpool have to face the Champions League challenge posed by Chelsea, resurgent in recent weeks under the wily and well-seasoned management of Guus Hiddink, who visit Anfield on Wednesday night for the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
The Spaniard would not be drawn on what he felt the outcome might be, preferring instead to highlight the likely closeness fothe contest.
"It is not a good time for either of us to be playing the other. It is a big challenge for both teams. They have a good team with experience and a manager with experience. This game is 50-50," he explained. I have great respect for a massive club and a very good team. We are both playing in big competitions. We are both big teams. We have beaten them twice this season in the league, it will give us confidence, but this is a different competition and it will be down to just one or two mistakes."
We will have to see if Alex comes out with something tomorrow, so that is it for now. More to come later.
