David Beckham affair rumours shows the media has no remorse for genuine sport stars

Hours after the news in Norway, Twitter maintained its role as the King (or Queen) of delivering breaking news in as little words as possible. Rumours were spreading from the social media that David Beckham (the man who helped bring 2012 in London and adored by millions) has had an affair with Welsh opera singing sensation Katherine Jenkins leaving David's wife Victoria in tears and demanding sympathy. How did the rumour come about, someone created a realistic fake "Famous" magazine front cover.

It has been a well known fact that the media, particularly magazines adore Victoria, known in the past as 'Posh Spice' from pop group Spice Girl, and if someone messes with her, they would have to deal with the abuse from Vogue or Heat so whoever started the rumour knew exactly what he, or she were doing.

So there was very little surprise that Katherine Jenkins would be upset by the allegations. After having an unexpected break up with fiancee and TV presenter Gethin Jones last year, the last thing she wants to hear is a rumour about her which is deemed untrue. She wrote on her Twitter account, she "absolutely deny" such thought of her being with Mr. Beckham. In fact, they've only met twice but never alone. David Beckham himself has laughed off suggestions of such affair however if I was him, I'd be sick of cases like these. Being one of the most inspirational sports stars today, he must be thinking these supposedly false allegations are ruining his reputation.

Beckham was in a similar situation in 2004 when News of the World rumoured his affair with his former PA and Piers Morgan's second cousin Rebecca Loos - case was closed with the conclusion that actually, they never slept with each other. The media have been trying to find ways to find negatives about Beckham and are failing miserably but he has to make sure rumours like this doesn't escalate in such fashion. We have seen Tiger Woods in a similar situation but his allegations were proved to be true. He's accepted committing adultery but Beckham has to make sure stories like this don't crop up. It is also up to Victoria to do something about the media. I bet she is a little insecure about these allegations so if they really love her, she must repay their faith by reassuring the public that her husband isn't a womaniser. The media can be a sleazy business so with reputations on the line, it's best to keep things quiet.

Splitting Britain to its eventual death

Londoner Mo Farah and Sheffield-born Jessica Ennis-Hill set to see their cities drift away from Westminster bubble (Image: Daily Mail) I don't know about you, but I'm loving this year's Olympics. The daunting talk about Brazil's corrupt politics, high levels of extreme poverty and the doping scandal are secondary topics for discussion while the spectacular sporting action and country's tourism boost are dominating headlines. But for me, I've been particularly impressed by UK's togetherness in pride for Team GB's overwhelming success so far. The country's dominance in rowing and cycling is something worth celebrating and hopefully they can provide a new wave of inspiration for many that London 2012 sadly couldn't. With Team GB continuing to shine in Rio de Janeiro, it's a big shame that back at home, political leaders are going out of their way in breaking up the country. In this rate, come Tokyo 2020 Olympics or whoever hosts the 2...

The Piers Morgan Enigma

Piers Morgan - angel or devil? Ah, Piers Morgan. There is so much to say about the Good Morning Britain co-anchor, I felt compelled to boost his ego and dedicate an entire post to him. Right now, I cannot open my Twitter without seeing a new post from him. At the same time I cannot open my Facebook without reading a story about him on Digital Spy saying something that has divided social media users. It appears we know loads about Mr Morgan. We are aware of his feuds, with the list of people he's fought against longer than the Channel Tunnel - Jeremy Clarkson, Lady Gaga, John Cleese, and Ian Hislop to name a handful. He is also known to block anyone who shoot grammatically incorrect insults at him on Twitter. He's a fiery Aries, that's for certain. Yet, the deeply analytical part of my brain wonders whether his views make him a heartless man - perhaps an understated view from his critics - or an individual who has good intentions and a high moral compass. I think ...

The ultimate Bond review

Bonds from left to right: Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and George Lazenby (Image: Daily Express) Earlier this year, I set myself a challenge - an unserious one at that. yet it was something I took seriously. For years, I have been fascinated by the James Bond franchise but only based my interest on Daniel Craig's films, which were the only ones I had seen up to that point. April this year, I couldn't answer the important questions - what was my favourite Bond film? Who played the iconic character best? I could tell you which song I rated the highest because I knew and love each of them - I feel the 'Bond theme' is a genre of its own, they are that good. So over the last six months or so, I did it. I watched all 25 films, in order from Dr No to No Time To Die. Yes, there are two other 'unofficial' films - Never Say Never Again and the 1967 version of Casino Royale. While they included Bond as the protagonist, they aren...
