I just returned from Dublin for some St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Aside from the actual St. Patrick’s day, the weather was quite disappointing, which resulted in a whole lot of tele-watching. Did I watched football(soccer), the England-Ireland Six Nations Rugby match, or hurling (a lacrosse-field hockey hybrid)? Yes to all of those, in spurts. But most of my time was spent watching a Girls Aloud marathon. Here.


As mentioned earlier, this is Cheryl Cole who is married to Ashley Cole. The word, from the “highly respectable” Sun UK, is that Ashley has been unfaithful and the two may be in the process of separating.

Many North Americans consider Victoria Beckham the “WAG,” based on the fame she achieved with the Spice Girls and her husband David’s attempt to save Major League Soccer on the other side of the pond.
