Joe gives the press what for

OK, we know it isn't a gay story as such, but it is just so damn funny we thought we should alert our beloved readers to it.

Football coach Joe Kinnear held a press conference as interim manager of Newcastle United yesterday

The 61 year old Irish man has a robust approach, as you can see from this transcript:

JK Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]?

SB Me.

JK You're a c*nt.

SB Thank you.

JK Which one is Hickman [Niall, football writer for the Express]?

You are out of order. Absolutely f*cking out of order.

If you do it again, I am telling you you can f*ck off and go to another ground.

I will not come and stand for that f*cking crap. No f*cking way, lies.

READ THE REST HERE!

Yes, it’s Posh and Becks, the musical

She is an erstwhile singer, fashionista and rising designer.

He’s a superstar football player with the star power of a Hollywood box-office magnet.

Together they have been making a sensation around the globe for nearly a decade and now they are about to become the subject of a unique new drama.

David and Victoria Beckham have earned more headlines and more attention from the paparazzi than almost any other celebrity couple in the world, but does that make their heady, jet-set lifestyle worthy of a musical?

At least one Dublin-based theatre company thinks so.

Long Road Productions is in the processing of putting together what they describe as a "wild comedy romp" about Posh and Becks.

The production will reportedly be titled MacBecks and will draw inspiration from the works of William Shakespeare.

According to HolyMoly.oo.uk, Ronan Smith, one of the producers behind the show said of the project:

“We’re very excited by the script. It borrows from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo & Juliet."

Now how often have you ever heard Shakespeare mentioned in the same breath with the Beckhams?

No word yet on when (or if) this satirical production will actually hit the Irish stage, but something tells me the Beckhams will not be so amused by it.

Can’t you just smell a lawsuit brewing?

Rugby World Cup excites bigot

This delightful little piece of whimsy comes all the way from South Africa, where a journalist called Michael Tarr comments on the Rugby World Cup.

The poor little lamb bleats that he is "all for" gay rights, then goes and exposes the obvious issues he has about his own sexuality by "imagining" a locker room conversation.

This is how he thinks rugby players talk:

"Hey, has anyone seen my G-string. The coach wants me to play prop and boy it's good to get a grip on the G-string to hold up the scrum."

It’s not funny of course, but it does manage to be insulting!

Cleveland Browns quarterback denies anti-gay slur accusations

Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn is turning out to be one of the hottest young players both on and off the field. This week, however, the 23-year-old stunner has come under some fire after it was reported that he was yelling anti gay slurs and harassing patrons outside of a Cleveland bar. Quinn adamantly denies the accusations, and the Browns are supporting their player.

While at Notre Dame, Quinn was a star player who broke over 36 school records during his four-year tenure. He placed third in the Heisman Trophy race, and was awarded honours as the top college quarterback in the nation.

With high expectations going in to the NFL draft, Quinn was the 22nd over all pick as the third string quarterback for the Browns. This year, he signed a five-season contract reportedly worth over $20 million and made his starting debut in the final game of the season.

On New Year’s Eve, Seth Harris placed a call to 911 and accused the quarterback of harassing gay patrons at a local bar.

The Associated Press reported that Harris told the operator, "There's a group of football players, Brady Quinn from the Browns ... and he's trying to cause a fight. His friends are yelling at all of the gay people that are around here."

Police arrived on the scene outside of La Fogata Grill, and Quinn was seen arguing with 32-year-old Jason Thompson.

Beckham is gayest straight man

Lads mag Maxim has published a list of  "The World's Gayest Straight Guys" on its US website.

Included in the list are David Beckham (because of his penchant for tighty whiteys, apparently), Sarah Jessica Parker's husband Matthew Broderick, and Dave Cook, star of film comedy "Good Luck Chuck."

Also appearing on the list of nine celebrities is actor Jared Leto, who once described himself in interview as "as gay as a goose," and X-Men star Hugh Jackman.

Basketball snog upsets fans

Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss, and sometimes it requires an extreme explanation.

This week, columnist Pam Platt, who had posted a picture in the Louisville Courier-Journal of two University of Louisville Cardinal’s basketball players in what looked like a kiss, was forced to explain the photo after numerous complaints from outraged fans.

In a game where the Cardinals basketball team outplayed the Kentucky Wildcats in the annual men's Battle of the Bluegrass, photographer Sam Upshaw Jr. snapped a picture of Card’s Jerry Smith hugging Juan Palacios after an important play.   

The picture was posted as the header for the article about the game, and fans wrote in apparently disgusted by the photo of two men that appeared to be kissing.

In her column explaining the photo, Platt said that some of the responses included, "'Awful,' 'an embarrassment,' 'horrible decision,' 'poor judgment,' 'distasteful,' 'a mystery' and 'shame on you'.”

Now it is not apparent whether the complainers were offended that the magazine seemed to be capitalising on a sensationalized photo, or if they were disgusted by the thought that two men may have accidentally touched mouths in a moment of excitement.

What is clear is that Platt did not feel the need to apologise for the photo as much as she felt the need to explain why it was chosen.

In her follow-up article Platt stated, "What is it about two athletes sharing a moment of physical and emotional closeness in the middle of a big game, in the middle of a basketball court, that puts some people off so much?"

Mrs Beckham reveals bedroom secrets

Victoria Beckham has finally 'fessed up to what anyone who heard True Stepper's 'Out of Your Mind' already knew.

The poor lass can't sing.

Talking to the American Elle, Posh said: "It became very obvious from the start that I was never going to be the best singer or the best dancer or the best actress. I was never a 'natural'."

Painting a picture of woe, she speaks of being bullied at school and current accusations that she spends all her time shopping - bravely admitting that she could, if she didn't 'work a seven day week'.

Posh also reveals why she holds such fascination, despite this dearth of talent:

"I'm so camp! I'm such a gay man trying to get out. I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks!"

No interview would be complete, of course, without a mention of her husband. "I sleep naked," she reveals. "I'm going to be naked if I'm getting in bed with him every night."

While we're not wholly convinced there's a gay man trying to get out of Posh, there's definitely a few we know who'd like to make their way inside David.

Tab tackles trans tryst with rugby hero

You gotta love the News of the World.

The UK's best-selling newspaper - in fact the best-selling English-language newspaper in the world - was getting its head round trans issues yesterday.

This story has it all - sports stars, pop stars, and a lady with an impressive chest.


Rugby star Danny Cipriani has been dumped by his Cheeky Girl girlfriend after the NotW revealed that he had bedded Larissa Summers. He was dating the Cheeky one who isn't going out with Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik.

Larissa used to go by the name of Darren. That's the story basically.

Most of the article is actually a surprisingly sympathetic treatment of how Larissa transitioned into a "curvy model," apart from calling her "Darren" practically the whole way through the article.

Of course the reporting of her night of passion with the rugby player is related in true NotW style:

"Last week model Larissa told the News of the World how he booked them into a £150-a-night Ramada hotel room for a night of passion.

"She said: "Danny was all over me and we had fast, frantic sex in about three different positions.              

"It was all over quickly, but it was exciting. He was very dominant and knew exactly what he wanted to do." "

According to the NotW, Danny's not the first "celeb" to be tempted by Larissa's charms - she also had a fling with Big Brother contestant Billi Bhatti.

A "source" told the paper:

"Danny is a big, strapping player and rugby is not known as a very forgiving sport.

"He may well come in for some ribbing over this.

"Anyone can see why he went with Larissa — she is stunning and no one could really tell she used to be a he.

"But the changing room will never be the same again for Danny! He had his fun — now he'll have to face the consequences."

Danny is one of the rising talents of English rugby, and <I>The Times </i> collectively almost wet themselves every time they mention him:

"He can kick beautifully at goal and out of hand, he can defend, he reads the game superbly, he has a deep well of self-belief.

"He is also seriously fast." Yeah, that's what Larissa said ...

Gay character not modelled on Becks

There were rumours David Beckham would appear as a gay character on Desperate Housewives, which were quickly dispelled.

Now, former girl bander Kerry Katona is writing a semi autobiographical book which includes a gay character who is Beckham-esque and who she says has a “real bitch of a wife”.

Katona was part of the marginally successful British girl band Atomic Kitten, but was forced to leave the group after she became pregnant.

She then went on to become a high profiled troubled celebrity a la Britney Spears and starred in I’m a Celebrity, Get Me out of Here!   

After more public scandal, including refusing drug tests for the safety of her children, Katona now works as a columnist for the popular OK! Magazine.

Last year, she published her autobiography about growing up a celebrity, Too Much, Too Young.   

While this second book is supposed to be fictional, Katona claims that there are similarities between the characters and her real life.

In a her column, she made reference to the former Spice Girl and current wife of David Beckham stating,

“Sometimes I find it very hard to understand Victoria Beckham. Her walking out of the Ritz Hotel in Paris was so sad and desperate.”   

The quote was in response to Victoria’s appearance at the Hotel in Paris where Princess Diana was seen leaving moments before her tragic death.

Katona claimed that Posh was deliberately dressed like Princess Di on the day of her death to grab the paparazzi’s attention.

Her new book has a gay character that many believe is based on the world famous footballer, but Katona explained to Now magazine: "I love the Beckhams, so I would never do that!"
