Footballxtreme : After returning to Barcelona from international duty with Argentina, Leo Messi and Javier Mascherano happened to get a cab driver who was a really big fan....of Mascherano's. So, the driver had Biker Messi, the reigning World Player of the Year, use his phone to take a picture of him with Mascherano.

Of course, he probably had Messi and Mascherano switch places after this snap, but to have the international footballing superstars you're so excited to meet serve as your personal photographers (as opposed to, say, whoever took the picture above) with your rinky phone is pretty impressive.



DIALOGUE :

Driver: Wow! I can't believe I have Javier Mascherano in my cab! Can I get a picture with you, Javier?

Mascherano: Sure.

Driver: Thank you so much! Here, let's have your friend take it. Excuse me, Ghost Rider, here -- can you just take our picture real quick? This is Javier Mascherano, you know.

Messi: Yeah...I know.

Driver: OK. Just take the picture.

Messi: I'm not sure which button-

Driver: The button! Just press the button. What's the matter, have you never used a mobile phone before? Maybe once you can afford a decent pair of jeans you can get one of your own.

Messi: OK. I got it.

Driver: All right, good, it's about time. Now get out of here. ... Wow! Javier Mascherano. What a thrill.

Footballxtreme : Before anyone complains about our error we need to inform you we have made a DELIBERATE mistake.

You see when Rihanna took to the stage for an O2 Arena gig she announced “Oh, Jermain, you play for Arsenal, yeah? I’ve heard all about you.”

Apparently she made this faux pas on purpose in jest, just as we have. Oh anyway who cares, look at the lovely lady below!

Footballxtreme : You may have heard a few things flying around the rumour mill about a certain ex-Arsenal midfielder? Well, we are delighted to finally announce that the Barcelona and Spanish midfield General Cesc Fàbregas is the 3rd player to make their big move of the summer by officially signing for PUMA!

There has been a lot of speculation recently surrounding the white boots Fàbregas has been seen training in. We are happy to reveal that after rigorous testing, Fabregas has decided he will be sporting the brand-new PUMA PowerCat 1.12 boots from now on. Cesc will be the flagship player for the PowerCats and will wear them exclusively for the next month. His first game in the new boots will be in this weekend’s match against Sporting Gijon, so be sure to look out for some nifty footwork from Barca and PUMA’s latest superstar. Fabregas broke the news to the footballing world via a recorded message he did on his phone at a PUMA Shoot. The PowerCat 1.12 will be available instore from December 1st. For more information on the PowerCat 1.12 come back to the PUMA.com/Football website on Monday 3rd October.

It has been an amazing time recently here at PUMA with the addition of Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero and Falcão. With a number of the world’s top strikers wearing PUMA, we thought they could do with a bit of midfield support and the addition of Cesc really adds to the growing list of global superstars adopting the PUMA brand. We’re confident we could pull together a 5-aside team to take on the best of the best ;).

Cesc Fàbregas said; “I am very happy about this new partnership with PUMA and really looking forward to wearing the new PowerCat 1.12 on pitch this weekend. This boot gives me a lot of confidence to compete physically in midfield, which is obviously very important. I need a boot that I am comfortable in, and which gives me the protection and power to play at my best. This has been a great summer for me, signing again for Barcelona and now for PUMA. This brand has a great attitude, and PUMA has some exciting plans for me that I’m thrilled to be a part of. I’m looking forward to a long partnership with them.”

Vamos, Cesc! Welcome to the PUMA family!

Can Cesc lead his side to Champions League glory? Will he add more medals to his overflowing trophy cabinet?

Footballxtreme : The actress sure knows how to find the silver lining in a bad situation, having last week been given orders to clean LA County Morgue for 16 hours a week after she failed to put in 360 hours at a local women's centre from a previous order.

It is thought Lohan initially turned down a generous $750,000 for the shoot but couldn’t' refuse the second big offer, according to US gossip site TMZ.

The site's source claims the million-dollar shoot began at the weekend with the Mean Girls actress fitting it around her court duties.

If she fails to put in the 16 hours a week, she will face an 18-month jail sentence for repeatedly breaking probation terms following her 2007 drink-driving charges and the theft of a necklace earlier this year.

Stripping for Playboy won't be the first time Lohan has bared all for the camera, having recreated Marilyn Monroe's 1962 nude shoot for photographer Bert Stern in 2008.

It seems, having had the experience already, she won't get any stage fright going nude this time around. At the time, she also claimed to be completely comfortable stripping off.

'I didn't have to put much thought into it. Working with Bert Stern on a Marilyn Monroe shoot was really an honour. When is that ever going to come up again?

'I was comfortable with it, the nudity and everything.'

Of the Playboy reports, Lindsay's spokesperson said: 'I can neither confirm or deny at this time.' (metro)

Footballxtreme : A report yesterday suggested Sybil Danning and her husband Horst Lasse were hoping to reach an agreement to buy the Owls.

But Mandaric said: ‘I can say I have never met or spoken to the people named in this article. I was as surprised as everybody else.

‘If the right person or persons come along who can take this club further forward, I would stand aside. But I can assure you that until that day comes my heart is at Hillsborough.’

Earlier, Danning was quoted in the Sun, saying: 'We have been looking into buying an English team with a strong fan base and great potential.

'Sheffield Wednesday matches those ideals. It is one of the most famous names in English football and, even though it has suffered in the last few years, we believe we can give it the energy needed to get to the Premier League.’ (metro)
