Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin set to wed this Summer
Coleen McLoughlin has blagged a media career simply through being the squeeze of footballer Wayne Rooney, but things are set to become official this summer as the couple splash out on a lavish wedding. The loved up pair of chavs are heading to the South of France for a June wedding which is set to last four days. Four days – do they really need that long to say "I do"?
So what do we know about this shindig? That the 60 guests, including Wayne's footie chums and boxer Ricky Hatton, will be flown over to the Côte D’Azur by private jets on June 10th. Leading up to the wedding, which is believed to be set for the 12th, there will be a black and white ball with events afterwards including a champagne lunch and a BBQ.
A friend of the couple explained the choices: "Coleen wanted to spread the event over a few days because people are travelling so far. You can virtually guarantee the weather at that time of the year so they’ve gone for lots of outdoor celebrations. Coleen and Wayne take regular holidays in the area, so they’re very familiar with the place.” Oh lucky them.
For those that care about fashion, Coleen will wear a £100,000 gown as designed by Marchesa, though I'm sure she'll spruce it up with a few George at Asda accessories. Of course, we'll all get the chance to see the gown, the guests and all the drunken rowdiness (come on – they are footballers) as the pair has confirmed a deal with a glossy magazine. Said mag (probably Hello! or OK!) will stump up £2.5million for the honour, with a chunk of this to be donated to a Liverpool charity. I should hope so too – I don't think they're exactly strapped for cash.

In the news: Colin Farrell splashes out & Lily Allen goes glam
- Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell has deep pockets as shown by him taking homeless chum Stress on a shopping trip in Toronto. The actor shelled out over £1000 on the man telling assistants: "Get him anything he wants. Whatever he needs.” Now you mention it Colin, there are one or two things I could do with. [the Daily Mail]
- Hell’s Kitchen might have taught model and WAG Abbey Clancy a thing or two about nouveau cuisine, but she knows what she likes. The girlfriend of footie star Peter Crouch has admitted since leaving the show that “I’m sick of rich food. I want some normal food, like beans on toast or a ham sandwich.” Sounds good to me. [The Sun]
- Coleen McLoughlin is desperate for her parents to leave their home in Liverpool after the shooting of school boy Rhys Jones. Having endured years of death threats against her loved ones, Coleen is hoping they will move in with her and fiancé Wayne Rooney in Cheshire. I'm sure they could pay their way, doing the ironing or something.[Now magazine]
- Usually seen scuffing about in battered trainers and colourful dresses, Lily Allen has gone glam for an advert for the Braun Satin Hair range. I wouldn’t mess with her while brandishing some heavy hair-straighteners, would you? [the Metro]

Tabloid Tales: Wayne Rooney shows his gallant side in nightclub punch-up
I don't usually make a habit of praising footballers who get involved in fights at swanky night-clubs. Especially not when it's Wayne Rooney. But today is different. Here's the story, as related in The Sun. Wayne knocked out Blackburn Rovers footballer Michael Gray with a single punch in the Panacea bar in Manchester. Without even getting up from his seat. That's laudable in itself, but wait till you hear why.
The paper says that Roo was out having a quiet drink with his better half Coleen and some other couples, but were pestered by a tanked-up Gray. Wayne kept his temper until, well, I'll let The Sun's witness tell the tale.
"It finally went off when he made the big mistake of suggesting a threesome with Coleen. Wayne whacked him without even getting from his seat. Gray hit the deck and by the time he stopped seeing stars he was removed by bouncers.”
Manchester United play Blackburn on 11th November. It could get quite tasty on the pitch if both men play, but Star Trip is firmly in Wayne's corner (not least because it's safer there).
