The WAGs Club

Do you guys familiar with the newest phenomenon in glitzy world? Do you still remember how Nicole Richie became an household name in the entertainment world as Paris Hilton sidekick, and how Paris Hilton became so famous just for being Paris Hilton, or those Kardasian sisters who were famous for being daughters of someone famous? Well, let me tell you guys, that was so last season! The new thing in the world of fame is the WAGs. For you who haven't got a chance to socialised lately, let me explain to you what the WAGs is stand for. WAGs is an acronym used particularly by the British tabloid press to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players, originally the England national football team.
So yeah, after the world fed up with Paris and Nicole and the Kardasian sisters, now people hunger of a different type of fame. As you guys know, sports people were already became world best selling names for years, only they were never cheesy or tabloid friendly. For some reasons, sport people were more classy as they are actually work hard for their fame, so no wonder if we gave them a bigger appreciation there. Then came along this new phenomenon which started by all of those footballers who hang out with some superstars and suddenly became an A-list in jetsetting way. As it is still clear in our imagination how David Beckham used to hang out with Tom Cruise, and how their wives now become an instant best friend? I believe in one magazine photo shoot, Victoria even styled the downtown girl Katie and turn her to be a style icon just like her. What a BFF things to do! Hah!
Here is the thing, sports people are considered as one of the highest paid people in the world. For years now, many sportsmen, doesn't matter how they look like, ended up dating all of those supermodels. Do you still remember when footballer Fabian Bartez, the French National Team ex-goalkeeper, used to go out with Linda Evangelista? That was years ago, and just recently, Giselle had a baby with Tom Brady? I mean, in the world of dating famous people, sportsmen are the new rock stars. Just look at Derek Jeter, A-Rod, Lewis Hamilton, and Christiano Ronaldo. Oh well, those all are the names and the looks in sports, so no wonder if all of those girls literally through themselves to them. Yeah, as I said, sportsmen are the new target for all of those '60 minutes of fame' fans. Just look at Tiger Woods and John Terry's cases. Then of course, it was no surprise for me when one time I read on one of those British papers' headline, the MU defender Rio Ferdinand said, "WAGs is a desease," Yeah!
Despite on what the content of the headline was, I can totally understand why he said that. I mean, they even have those kind of Reality Show called 'The WAGs' which show the audiences how the wives and the girlfriends of English footballers living their life. How sick could it be? Who are they? Why people even curious about them? So sickening. I don't know, maybe it was me who is jealous over their collection of Manolos and Louis, or maybe it was me who wished that I could drive that Mercedes instead of Coleen, despite on how Rooney looks like. Hey, even me could be a normal person sometime, so of course, I envy them!
So, my point is, if you are into an instant fame, if you are looking for a quick way to be at the front page of any tabloid, then you do know now how to reach your dream. Yup, just hang out with one of those sportsmen in general or footballers to be exact! Aha, and yeah, you can thank me later for these tips!
