Chezza sends Coleen supportive text

Now that she's well on the road to recovery, and her divorce is finalised and everything, Chezza now has a bit of time on her hands to help out any friends in need. If anyone is in need of a friendly shoulder to sob on at the moment, it's Coleen Rooney, as she deals with the media outcry over her husband's infidelities, in painful detail, as well as her private grief over her sister's illness. So, Cheryl picked up her mobile and sent a supportive text (well, let's face it, it trumps a tweet on the supportiveness scale). Celebritree supposes that if anyone knows what Coleen is going through, then it's Cheryl. Although, presumably fellow England WAGs, Victoria Beckham, Alex Curran, Toni Terry and Abbey Clancy could all offer up their own tales of woe and how they coped with public allegations of their husbands' cheating...
Those heady days of fun in Baden Baden seem so long ago now...

The big day approaches

So Katie and Alex's big day (mark II) is finally, nearly, upon us. So, it seems that the guest list has been finalised - and includes the celeb-laden list consists of Emma B, Michelle Heaton and Danielle Lloyd (hmm, maybe she should have invited Celebritree, although even I'm washing my hair tomorrow night). Rumoured declinees of invitations include Davina McCall, Vinnie Jones, Holly Willoughby, Stevie Gerrard and Alex Curran. Whereas most people might think they had saved money by all these declines, it seems that the lack of celeb presence has destroyed Katie's hopes of a magazine deal. A bit disappointing for those baking the wedding cake, making the dress and (presumably Gary) doing the hair and make up - as they have all been convinced to offer free or discounted services based on free publicity!
Still, anyone who does rock up will apparently be treated to a 'live' rendition of Katie's new single 'Free to love again'. Bet they can't wait...

What are the WAGs up to now?

As Engerland's players prepare for tomorrow and the most important match of their lives (since the last most important match of their lives on Wednesday), what are their nearest and dearest up to?
Well, it seems that Christine Bleakley (who after much dilly-dallying - including a night out to celebrate staying with the BBC, has finally signed her life away to ITV) and Toni Terry have followed Carly Cole out to South Africa. There were rumours that Toni wasn't planning to go out unless England reached the quarter-finals, but perhaps she has decided to cut her losses - or
else lose out on a big holiday, based on England's performances so far.
However, Coleen has decided to stay put, rather than having to uproot baby Kai. She was seen out at Chester races this week, looking very glam in purple. Meanwhile, Alex Curran was out at Elton and his partner David Furnish's White Tie and Tiara party, on Thursday night, wearing a dress previously seen on Cheryl Cole - albeit in a different colour. Clearly, it was a really classy event this year!

WAG update

Abbey Clancy, girlfriend of Peter Crouch, is busy with her career whilst her boyf's busy trying to score in South Africa. Apparently Abbey is keen to spread her... wings and would love to do some modelling Stateside. Hmm, not really sure that her stint on that ITV show with James Corden is going to cut the mustard to hit the big time...

She has also revealed how the England hotel has been invaded by baboons (hmm, Celebritree can just imagine the jokes about recruiting them) and that Peter Crouch's poor parents were victims when 3 baboons invaded their room taking anything they fancied with them.

Another WAG, Stevie G's missus, Alex Curran, has revealed that she is often mistaken for Ms Clancy. This cannot be good news for poor Abbey and her burgeoning career....

World Cup Anticipation Builds...

So, David Beckham has apparently already headed off on his flight from LAX to South Africa for his role at the World Cup. Celebritree is not sure exactly what that role is, other than to let the rest of the team benefit from his experience of losing in these tournaments previously. Still, it will be nice to see him, especially if he gets to talk to the press (so much more camera friendly than Messrs Terry and Rooney - let's face it). Anyone who was as disappointed as Celebritree that we won't be seeing the Beckham legs in the 2010 Tournament will no doubt have taken some comfort from Tom Cruise - who claims his friend will certainly be fit for the 2014 World Cup - at the ripe old age of 39. Clearly, despite his many hours spent at matches with the Beckhams, Cruise has completely failed to understand "soccer" at all...

So, what of that other big World Cup talking point - the England WAGs? Well, as Celebritree reported, they have been told to keep a much lower profile after all their antics in Baden-Baden 4 years ago. Indeed, new high-profile WAG Christine Bleakley will be busy with The One Show for the duration. She and Frank went out to bid each other a fond farewell at The Dorchester last night - apparently a favourite haunt of theirs. Apparently Christine is keen to build a relationship with Frank's ex and mother of his children, Elen Rives. No doubt Frank will be thrilled at the thought of that whilst he's occupied in South Africa...

Most of the other WAGs are following orders and are staying home although a couple are rumoured to be flouting the rules. These culprits are rumoured to be Alex Curran (wife of Stevie Gerrard - she's not one for rules - certainly not those of the fashion variety) and the classy Chantelle Tagoe (pictured here for those unfamiliar with Emile Heskey's wife. Apparently they met whilst she was working as a waitress in a lap-dancing bar. No doubt he picked her out, shook her up and turned her around etc.)

New mums, Coleen and Carly have decided to stay home - although they are planning to fly out if England reach the semis (nothing like a bit of optimism). The most forgiving woman in the world, Toni Terry, has decided she'll head for South Africa if they reach the quarter finals (slightly less optimistic Toni - but who can blame her after all she's been through...)

Travelling light

Alex and Steven Gerrard are shrugging off rumours that all is not well in their marriage and jetting off on holiday before Stevie has to head to South Africa for England World Cup duties. Celebritree is wondering how long they are going to the luxury resort in Dubai for with all those cases... Or perhaps Alex is leaving plenty of space for shopping. Celebritree is sure she can pick up some classy accessories in Dubai to complement all her understated Cricket gear...

If England manage to put on a reasonable showing at this year's World Cup, Alex will have to accept that the couple's third anniversary celebrations will have to be postponed. I'm sure the fact that their new home in Portugal will be ready this summer for their post-World Cup holiday, will soften the blow somewhat...
