What I mean is I went on the site hoping we'd signed some superstar (or Pascal Chimbonda) and instead there was a big headline with Tom Hanks holding up that scarf like we'd just signed him. Then again if he can operate at right-back, who knows? What a crazy year for Henry. Has his divorce going through yet? That'll keep him busy, chasing skirt. So Jurgen's finally leaving Cali, or is he going to fly to training each day? Maybe they'll open that much needed Bavarian-Pacific supersonic expressway.

This was actually the headline yesterday morning on our official website. Its been a rumour for years but to get Hanky Panky to confirm it is nothing but good publicity for us. I mean, the dude was in Punchline, The 'burbs, Turner and Hooch...and all those hits from the '90s. http://www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Elsew...1211947,00.html

Nic Cage's freak out at Buckingham Palace was hilarious, the rest was amiable. Diane looked absolutely incredible throughout, especially in the Oval Office scene.

Way back on November 10th yours truly wrote the following: A few months later I read this: My mind is officially blown. Does this mean I have magical powers and stuff?

Guys, here's an exclusive for you. FA Cup, 3rd round draw, 2009: Aston Villa will play Manchester United. And lose. And the BBC will feel compelled to televise it.

"A Great Gatsby" New Years Eve Soiree at the Soho Grand - Polaroids with JJ with Mena Suvari

Dear world, Spurs are the fourth best team in London. Their ties with Arsenal are bound purely by geography, they are not 'rivals' in any competitive sense. Berbatov will leave. They will not be in Europe next season. They are not, and have never been, a big club. Got it, geezer? Nice one, guv'nor. Love, Frederick the Great

All these players I'd forgotten about are all of a sudden getting in amongst the action: Ballack...Eduardo...Saha...Curtis Davies. Bogey team alert! Let us all hope Ronaldo's horrendous missed penalty costs United the title.

I'd say it was a two horse race at this point; I don't see Chelsea being able to sustain a threat and Liverpool won't be able to make up the points they need because they never beat the teams above them. The two turning points in Chelsea's season have both been caused by Villa, which is strangely comforting. The writing was on the wall for Mourinho after the 2-0 defeat and the realities of a team without Terry were exposed for all to see yesterday. Then there's the fact that Cech doesn't look fit, Carvalho is gonna be suspended, Lampard's injured, Drogba's gonna be unavailable for ages, the African Cup of Nations is coming up...the odds looked stacked against them. Special mention for Pizarro, who yesterday was the most woeful player on the pitch by a country mile. I was actually embarrassed for him.

Baby's first match report - Chelsea 4-4 Aston Villa Villa out the blocks quickest! Maloney scores! Lampard gets injured! Ballack comes on! Maloney scores again! Cech with a howler! Ballack falls over! Zat Knight gets mega harshly sent off! Shevchenko scores the subsequent penalty! Curtis Davies is alive! Shevchenko rifles in a quick equaliser just after half time! Alex puts them ahead! Curtis Davies makes a really bad attempt at a sliding tackle! Martin Laursen equalises! Carvalho with a scumbag two footed death lunge on Gabby! Red card! Dubious free-kick awarded to Chelsea! Ballack takes it! Ballack scores! We dart up the field and...Cashley Cole handles on the line! Penalty! Red card! Stoppage time! Barry takes it and slides it in! Full time! So in a nutshell, a draw. How boring.

Can someone put a Santa hat on my avatar?

No.

I would say Guus overachieved and Koeman did about what could be realistically expected, especially after losing van Bommel, Park and Vennegoor of Hesselink. They still won the championship (albeit in a far less convincing manner than under Hiddink) and knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League. I think PSV were/are in a transitional phase regardless of Koeman, though it's perhaps his own error for not sorting that out.

PSV was Koeman's level. But he's found out the hard way.

Diane looks a little Carla Bruni-esque in my avatar, it is true. Anyway, last night some German dude came on for Chelsea that I'd never heard of, Michael Ballsack I think his name was. Who the hell is he? Just kidding Mike, I still like you!

Men's Vogue Article German-born, London-trained, Paris-living Diane Kruger has ably made the model-to-actress turn. But does she ever sleep? By Michael Mraz Try to imagine a woman being considered too pretty for the movies. That's what many Hollywood casting agents thought of Diane Kruger after she starred as Zeus' daughter Helen, the most classic beauty of them all, in the less-than-heroic Troy. But after a few years of seeking out daring roles in indie and European films, the 31-year-old model turned actress has proved that despite her cobalt-blue eyes and bone structure that would have Aphrodite consulting a plastic surgeon, she has real dramatic prowess. And Hollywood has begun to take notice. "I'm trying to branch out with different roles," Kruger says with a sniffle over breakfast at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York. But she did reprise her role as the somersaulting historian Abigail Chase in the sequel National Treasure: Book of Secrets, which opens in time for the holidays and figures to be another blockbuster. It's her costar, Nicolas Cage, whom some consider different. "I think he's the same person he was when he first starting acting," Kruger asserts, "just with less demons. A lot of people like to be eccentric; he just is. No day resembles the last one." Kruger's days don't have a lot in common either. After spending six months on location in L.A., South Dakota, and Washington, D.C., for Book of Secrets, in a couple of nights she'll head for Toronto to see her boyfriend, Joshua Jackson. How the guy from Dawson's Creek ended up with the daughter of Zeus is its own 21st-century tragedy, but after that Kruger will return to Montreal to finish shooting a Charlie Kaufman–esque romantic fantasy, Mr. Nobody, with Jared Leto and Sarah Polley. Yet she lives, ostensibly, in Paris. "It's my favorite city," she says in her pan-European accent, "though I'm never there." Moving around a lot is something Kruger has become accustomed to, having left rural Germany when she was 13 to spend her teenage years studying at the Royal Ballet in London, modeling in New York, and taking drama lessons in Paris. She speaks several languages, which comes in handy in her line of work—she was a host at Cannes this year and moved effortlessly between French, German, and English. "I dub my own movies into other languages," she says with a smile, "so I should get paid a lot more than I do. But it's fun working on accents." Sometimes she even finds herself speaking German on the streets of St.-Germain at the famously rapid-fire pace of her friend and neighbor Karl Lagerfeld. "He's probably the only person in France who rides around in a Hummer, so I can always see him coming," she laughs. I ask Kruger if she still feels pressured to prove that she's not just another model trying to act. She won't have any of it. "I don't even really look like a model—I'm not that tall and I'm not that striking," she says. Sensing the beginnings of a protest, she goes on, "You know how models are like aliens? That's not me!" It's all a bit much to believe, but then I'm reminded of the old line about beauty being truth and truth being beauty, which tells me that Kruger just might be human after all.

Point well made! One of Lauren's most triumphant moments in Gilmore Girls was in Season 3 when she whipped out a tremendous Louis Armstrong impression. What a great show; I'm such a girl and I don't even care!

I'm gonna go ahead and shred another layer of masculinity and declare my love of Gilmore Girls. Now its gone, must I rent Evan Almighty to get my Lauren Graham fix? <_<

My dad has always wanted Joey Barton in the England team. Then again, he was really pleased when we signed Sasa Curcic!* * So was I!

Isn't that just standard award ceremony guff?
