Orange you forgetting something, Coleen? The 24-year-old wife of Wayne Rooney stepped out into -7 degrees Celsius weather in Liverpool without any stockings
Wayne Rooney is making amends for a troubled year by paying to send his wife Coleen and her entire family on a luxury Caribbean cruise.
And she, in return, is demonstrating that she trusts her husband – just three months after a £1,200-a-night prostitute claimed he slept with her on several occasions – by allowing him to stay home alone.
The 25-year-old England star cannot go with them because of footballing commitments, but Coleen, their year-old son Kai, her parents Tony and Colette, her brothers Joe and Anthony and her adopted sister Rosie, 12, will all embark on the Disney cruise on Tuesday.
Rosie suffers from an incurable genetic brain disorder called Rett syndrome, which means she cannot speak or walk and has to be fed through a tube. She has been discharged from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool for the trip.
The cruise – where suites cost up to £6,700 a week – will take in a string of exotic locations including Aruba, Martinique, Barbados, Grand Cayman and Costa Maya in Mexico.
A source said: ‘Wayne has paid for the all the family to go because he wants to make up for all the turmoil he has caused this year. ‘He can’t go because he has wall-to-wall soccer commitments here. But he is delighted that the rest of the family are going.

‘It’s his way of doing all he can to make everything right with everyone he has hurt. The fact that Coleen is willing to go and leave him behind on his own is another positive sign. It means she feels he can now be trusted.’
Coleen returned to her parents’ home near Liverpool when prostitute Jennifer Thompson spoke of her affair with Rooney in September. At the time, Coleen’s devout Catholic parents said he would never be welcome in their house again.

Earlier this week, we reported that Orange Caramel would be performing on a Christmas Day special for MBC’s “ICON“.
Ditching their characteristic cutesy concept, Raina, Lizzy, and Nana performed Kelly Clarkson’s “Because Of You”. Accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra, the trio stunned the audience with their strong vocal talents.
Orange Caramel also collaborated with their senior group, Yurisangja, and performed Mr. 2’s “White Winter” and “Orange Sanja“.
MBC’s Music Core has returned once again and it promises to be another fun and exciting show.
The top K-pop artists of 2010 have converged together this afternoon since it is a Christmas special, and also to close out the year on a high note as it is the final Music Core episode of the year.
Former MCs, SNSD’s Yuri and Tiffany also returned to host the final episode of 2010, alongside regular MCs, miss A’s Suzy and T-ara’s Jiyeon, making it an all-girl MC line-up this afternoon in the studio. Meanwhile, SHINee’s Minho and Onew hosted the outdoor stage segment.
With the exception of GD&TOP’s performance, all performances from today will be in this article ALONE. Check out the performances below, some with special Christmas treats!
The ladies of KARA have been busy flying back and forth between Korea and Japan in order to perform for multiple year-end music festivals. In the midst of all that madness, they’ve also been filming scenes for their upcoming drama, “URAKARA“.
“URAKARA” has been described as a “dating mission drama”, in which the members must complete missions that involve both virtual and real-life dates. KARA’s innocent charms will be spotlighted, as they tackle their ‘love-missions’ in both Korea and Japan.
Recently, a teaser for the show has made its way onto the ‘net, and we’ve got the video link below. Check it out!
[starttext] A recent series of tweets from T-ara’s Eunjung have caused fans some concern.
On December 24th, T-ara performed on KBS 2TV’s “80 Days of Promises“.
The concert was held outside in -18°C weather, and the girls wore a short-sleeved fishnet one-piece that hardly seemed capable of protecting them from cold. Audience members and viewers alike expressed that they were uncomfortable watching T-ara shiver on stage.
Eunjung tweeted after the event, “People said it was still cold no matter how many layers of hanbok (traditional wear) they were wearing. Short sleeves and a fishnet one-piece… I’d like to apologize to the audience and TV viewers that were surprised. Even now, our car is filled with the sound of coughing.”
She wrote a separate tweet to her friend Ara, “I seriously felt the mystery of the human body. It felt like my skin was splitting, my joints were hardening, and my eyes were popping out of their sockets.”
Fans are showing their support, while criticizing the stylists for having them wear fishnets in Korea’s first cold wave in 30 years. One fan commented, “I could feel the cold through the TV monitor. Wearing fishnets in such cold weather, it was upsetting to watch the members shiver like that.”
