The exposure in a popular Spanish newspaper is planned to coincide with an important date for the player, causing maximum personal impact to him and allegedly putting him off his game.

Tabloid daily newspaper El Mundo Deportivo will print the name of the Premier League idol who won a gagging order last month to suppress claims he cheated on his wife in a six-month fling with gorgeous Imogen.

But the injunction only prevents British publications from exposing him.

A Spanish media source said: “The newspaper is happy to print his name because they are published abroad.

“They are determined to print it on a date when they know it is vitally important for the footballer to be able to concentrate only on his game.

“The player will not want any distractions at this time so this will have a huge impact on his ability to focus only on football.

“I am sure he will be angry and upset about this but there’s nothing he can do about it.”

A Spanish website has already named the player alongside a sexy picture of Imogen wearing a see-through bra, G-string and black stockings.

Former Big Brother babe Imogen, 28, who has forged a career as a men’s magazine model, recently spoke about her relationship with the star who is described as a “family man”.

She told ITV1’s This Morning recently that she wished she had enough money to get a super-injunction to protect her name when the scandal broke.

Imogen said: “I had no intention of ever speaking about the man, I just wish that my name was protected.

“I didn’t have £50,000 to get an injunction. I feel like I have been thrown to the lions and told to ‘deal with it’.

“I’m coping with a lot of stress and pressure on my head at the moment.” Imogen said she had been subjected to “horrible abuse” on Twitter, being called a “slag” and a “whore”.

The footballer is already said to have admitted to his wife that he is the person with the super-injunction after she confronted him.

He is the latest in a string of celebrities who have taken legal action to gag people they have had affairs with.

An internet campaign led by Twitter users is defying court gags to identify the stars, including the married footballer who has had an affair with Big ­Brother’s Imogen Thomas.
CHEATING celebrities hiding behind injunctions were left reeling last night after their secrets were exposed by social networkers.
A single tweeter with more than 42,000 followers claims to “out” famous figures using expensive super-injunctions to keep their disgraceful behaviour secret.
Facebook users have also set up a group dedicated to the subject.

Member Dyl Roberts said: “These people are in the public eye and make millions of pounds on the back of their stardom.

“It’s wrong they should be allowed to hide behind the law and it’s awesome that they are now being exposed. The whistleblowers deserve a medal.”

But there were fears some of the information being sent out online is false or riddled with errors.

Several celebs have already been wrongly named as having brought out injunctions.

Sports presenter Gabby Logan is at the centre of a false rumour she had a fling with soccer pundit Alan Shearer. The mum-of-two issued a fresh denial, tweeting: “I am not and never have.”

Jemima Khan has also been wrongly linked to an affair with Jeremy Clarkson. The socialite revealed yesterday she even had a message of support from the Top Gear star’s wife Frances.

She also got a text from Clarkson and wrote of the false rumours: “I hope the people who made this story up realise that my son will be bullied at school because of it. Plus I’m getting vile hate tweets.” The internet campaign comes as a group of MPs were preparing to launch a bid to change injunction laws. One, Lib Dem John Hemming, said: “There is a lot to learn from the USA where freedom of speech is enshrined in their constitution.

“Where the courts are trying to keep state secrets and Twitter is on the other end, Twitter will win.

“The problem with the current situation is that innocent people will suffer because media outlets which try to get things right are stopped from reporting.”

Media lawyer Mark Stephens added: “If you are getting an ­injunction then you are doing nothing much more than painting a target on your back waiting for the Tweeterati and the blogosphere to come and find you.”

A Twitter spokesman said: “On a practical level we simply cannot review 55million-plus tweets ­delivered every day.”

The prostitute who claims she slept with Wayne Rooney said the internet revelations “made a mockery” of the gagging orders.

Helen Wood claimed she knew of one celebrity who has obtained three separate injunctions to keep different affairs secret.

The 24-year-old told Radio 5 Live’s Victoria Derbyshire: “I’m not one of the women involved.

“There’s a list as long as my arm that I know have injunctions against girls right now.”

Helen, from Bolton, is at the centre of a super-injunction herself after an affair with an actor.

A judge ruled she could be named, but not the star.

Claiming the law favours men, she added: “It sets a bad example basically saying a rich man can protect his name. They can behave exactly how they want to behave, provided they have the money.”

There are currently between 30 and 40 people who have used the privacy laws to block reports about alleged extra-marital affairs, sex with vice girls and cross-dressing.

Twitter user has tried to unmask some celebrities who have obtained super-injunctions to prevent publication of details of their private lives, reports BBC News. The Twitter user claimed to "out" a number of public figures, though the tweets appeared to contain errors. Jemima Khan tweeted: "Rumour that I have a super injunction preventing publication of "intimate" photos of me and Jeremy Clarkson. NOT TRUE!"

The Daily Mail says the social networking site has "made a mockery of the celebrity trend for using privacy injunctions to hide their identity". It says the user quickly attracted a following of several thousands. The Mail says the move "exposed the total inadequacy of court rulings which gag the press - but have no effective control over what is published online".

Twitter feeds by reporters and newspapers are expected to brought under the regulation of the Press Complaints Commission, reports the Guardian. It says it's the first time the body has sought to consolidate social media messages under its remit. The PCC believes that some postings on Twitter are, in effect part of a "newspaper's editorial product". It plans to distinguish between journalists' public and private tweets.

The launch of the iPad helped Apple topple rival technology company Google in 2010 to become "the world's most powerful brand" reports the Guardian. WPP-owned research company Millward Brown puts Apple at number one in its annual top 100 global brand power list, ending Google's four year run at the top. The fallout of the Deepwater Horizon disaster dogged BP, which fell 30 places to 64th with a 27% drop in its brand value.

Judges at the European Court of Human Rights will this week rule on whether the former world motor sports boss Max Mosley's right to privacy was invaded when he wasn't told about a story containing colourful claims about his sex life before it was published in the News of the World. The Independent on Sunday reports claims that victory for Mr Mosley could spell the death of so-called "kiss and tell" stories and would have a "chilling" effect on freedom of expression. Mr Mosley said the judgment would have a bearing on only a small number of cases.

Writing about the effect it's had on her, she says she fears her 14-year-old son would never speak to her again if he heard about the allegation.

This morning Khan tweeted: 'Got a nice text from Francie Clarkson and also one from Jeremy, "It's odd. I'm sure I'd remember if any photos of us existed.".'

Responding to a journalist she expresses her fears over the false allegations

The social networking site today made a mockery of the celebrity trend for using privacy injunctions to hide their identity.

A single user, who quickly attracted a following of 20,000, set up an account claiming to ‘out’ those behind the legal gagging orders – but riddled with errors.

So many Twitter users began exchanging messages supposedly naming high-profile figures who have hidden their secrets that part of the site crashed.

The move exposed the total inadequacy of court rulings which gag the press – but have no effective control over what is published online.

Today Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming, who is compiling a report on super-injunctions, said: ‘It shows the utter absurdity of what is being done in the courts. It ignores the way that modern communication works.

Gagging law stars 'outed' on Twitter: Thousands see the names of celebrities alleged to have taken out injunctions
‘Normally these things are kept so that only a few people in North London know what is going on. But more recently people have been coming  to my constituency surgery and telling me that they know who these people are.’

The move also made plain how the practice of creating injunctions has spawned its own global rumour mill – much of it untrue.

In the latest apparent outing, Jemima Khan was incorrectly named as having gagged intimate photographs of her with a married TV star.

The socialite immediately struck back, denying the claims. On Twitter, she wrote: ‘This is not true. I have no super injunction.’ 

The user may be some ‘students having a laugh’, she said, but added: ‘Not v funny if you are someone’s wife.’


At the weekend, TV presenter Gabby Logan issued a fresh denial over false rumours that she has had an affair with BBC colleague Alan Shearer. She was again trying to damp down internet speculation sparked by a privacy injunction granted by a judge to a different TV star


This page censored the names of celebrities, but Twitter was not responsible - we can't show pictures of the site that 'outed' the gagging law stars for legal reasons

There also appears to be an earlier version of the page on Twitter, but with all the names of the celebrities redacted.

Twitter said it was not responsible for adding the word 'redacted' to the tweets.

Privacy law written on the hoof has had consequences unforeseen by judges, who developed it on the back of human rights legislation designed to protect an individual’s private life.

No judge has given any indication that they realised giving a gagging order to cover up the sexual misbehaviour of one celebrity could damage the reputations of the innocent.

At the weekend, TV presenter Gabby Logan issued a fresh denial over false rumours that she has had an affair with BBC colleague Alan Shearer.  She was again trying to damp down internet speculation sparked by a privacy injunction granted by a judge to a different TV star.

The mother of two said the gossip was ‘unfair’ and declared of the allegation that she is having an affair: ‘I am not and never have.’

There is growing concern that the use of unregulated and unmonitored privacy injunctions is spiralling out of control.

Conservative MP Louise Bagshawe, who recently had a joke about one injunction case censored on the BBC’s Have I Got News For You, labelled the Twitter messages a ‘grassroots protest’.

‘If you have one of these injunctions you will probably find you are exposed on the internet within hours and the press interest will last much longer,’ she said, adding:‘Another consequence is if anyone has  a super injunction for a good or valid  reason, they are tarred with the same brush. That is something judges ought  to consider.’

Meanwhile, media lawyer Mark Stephens said: ‘Clearly the courts are coming second best here. The reality is if you go for one of these injunctions you paint a cross on your back as a target for every itinerant blogger and user of social media.

‘We have always had truth and scuttlebutt, it has been the oil in the wheels of society for centuries. This is just the modern way of doing it.’

Between 30 and 40 privacy injunctions and super-injunctions are in force.

There has been public outrage over  privacy injunctions, some of which, so-called super-injunctions, are so draconian that it is a crime even to mention that they exist.

Premier League club officials are understood to have held a meeting last week to discuss the impact on football’s reputation of the large number of privacy gags given to players.

Last night a spokesman for Twitter added: 'On a practical level, we simply cannot review all one 55million-plus tweets created and subsequently delivered every day. There are tweets that we do remove, such as illegal tweets and spam.

'However, we make efforts to keep these exceptions narrow so they may serve to prove a broader and more important rule - we strive not to remove tweets on the basis of their content.

Kacy, a 22-year-old porn star was on hand the night that Sheen had his now infamous 36-hour bender. Shortly after Sheen had been admitted to the hospital she started talking about what had happened while at that party.

Jordan seems to want to single-handedly credit herself for the fact that Charlie got help, and it was all because she blabbed to the media. Or so she thinks.

"I feel if I hadn't opened up about Charlie, he never would have gotten the help that he needed," Jordan said.

She claims she feared telling him to get help because it would have been awkward due to their age differences. She claims it would have been like telling "her father" to stop doing drugs. The interesting thing here is that she freely admits to having sex with Sheen. Hmm, so it's okay to have sex with "her father" but not to tell him to sober up? Well, that's a new one, that's for sure!

She also says that he was done with Two and a Half Men long before the falling out between him, Chuck Lorre and CBS. She says he instead wanted to retire into the life of a sex and drug addict with his now infamous goddesses and children.

"He told me was ready to retire from Two and a Half Men before any of this and that he just wanted to live at home with his Goddesses. He ultimately wanted to have a family, be a drug addict and a sex addict."

She claims that she spoke not for the money, though there are no reports of her turning down cash to speak either. Instead she claims that she spoke out of fear. She feared he'd die and she'd somehow be found liable for not stopping him during the binge.

"I was so afraid that I would be held responsible for his death because I didn't make him stop and I was there. I was really afraid."

She claims that she feels he's on the road to recovery, and that the tour will be good for him. It seems that right now he's doing well, but as everyone knows it's a day-to-day process when you are recovering. One day could be fine and the next you're off the wagon. Hopefully for Sheen's sake he is on the road to recovery and he stays strong and keeps with it.

She has a new clean-cut image, has undergone a dramatic weight loss and is enjoying a career revival thanks to her new reality series and a stint on Dancing On Ice.

And despite her complete life makeover, Kerry Katona insists that she was never addicted to drugs.

Looking back, the 30-year-old says of that 'dark period': 'I was never an addict, I was more of an abuser.'


'I feel amazing': Kerry Katona insists she was never addicted to drugs but says she was 'an abuser'

So, she insists, staying clean hasn't been hard. 'I'm not struggling at all,' she tells New! magazine. 'I feel amazing.'

Despite living a drug-free lifestyle, Kerry allows herself the occasional raucous night out.

The reality star was pictured looking worse for wear on a recent girls night with The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs, Nicole McLean and Danielle Brown.

She admits, laughing, 'Tipsy is not the word. I was absolutely stonking! We’re still
talking about it now.

'The last time I got drunk before last Wednesday was November. It’s not that I don’t drink – if I go to the pub in the afternoon I’ll have half a lager and lime.

'But it was a  girls’ night out, which I’m sure every young girl does. I am only 30 after all!

Kerry is often seen out with Amy Childs and Nicola McLean as well as Peter Andre and Elen Rivas.

The group share the same management and stick together. Of rising star Amy Childs, she says: 'She’s become a good friend. She texts me all the time, she’s a lovely girl.'

The healthy and fit Kerry is far cry from the one just two years ago. At her lowest point, she admits to not remembering 'chunks' of her children's lives because she was so 'off her head'.

Hilton Hotel chain two legged guests share a room with their four legged friends. Pets get special treats, and their very own pillow.

"They are just as much a part of the family as a child, or an uncle, or any other member of the family and we want them to be just as comfortable," said Julie Torres.

More and more hotels are becoming pet-friendly, making it easier to bring your beloved pet on a family vacation.

Pet-friendly hotels run the gamut from budget options like the Econo Lodge and Best Western to fancier chains like the Ritz-Carlton and aforementioned Hilton.

"The price can differ a lot. Some rooms [charge] $25 dollars a night for your pet, others a lot more," said Consumer Reports' Tod Marks.

And there can be other hotel pet expenses, such as a refundable $100 deposit, or you may be required to accept financial liability for any damage caused by your pets.

And some charge a $100 cleaning fee.

Marks says it's important to check with the hotel and find out the specifics.

"Because while many chains are pet-friendly, not all hotels within that chain accept pets. So you need to call ahead and find out if there are any restrictions," he said.

Some of those restrictions include weight, size, and breed restrictions.

But don't give up hope if your pet doesn't meet the criteria to stay at a particular hotel.

"All isn't lost," said Marks. "It always pays to call ahead. Explain that your dog has a wonderful disposition, wonderful temperament, and you never know -- they might waive these restrictions."

You may need a pet carrier and proof that vaccinations are up to date. But once Fifi or Fido gets the green light, some hotels offer amenities like dog sitting and even massage.

Dedicated gamers joined a host of celebrities, including Plan B and Tinchy Stryder, at the midnight launch of the new Nintendo 3DS in London.

The handheld console is the first glasses-free 3D gadget.

Hundreds of fans queued, some for 24 hours, to be one of the first to get their hands on the latest technology.

Despite revealing he is no longer a gamer, Plan B performed at the launch at HMV on Oxford Street.

The Brit Award winner said: "I used to be [a gamer] when I was a kid, but what I do is a full-time job and any kind of game usually stops me from working.

"I stopped playing games when Football Manager was Championship Manager!"

Marama Davidson, who is subject to a complaint that she culturally insulted a Ngapuhi activist, is of Ngapuhi and the daughter of Kiwi actor Rawiri Paratene.

David Rankin, a leader of the Mid North hapu Matarahurahu and chairman of the Hone Heke Foundation, has laid a complaint with the the Human Rights Commission (HRC), which employs Ms Davidson as a human rights and race relations adviser.

Mr Rankin said comments allegedly made by Ms Davidson on the Facebook internet site and the tangatawhenua.com website amounted to "hate speech".

They were derogatory and potentially defamatory, he said.

Mr Rankin claimed Ms Davidson wrote on the website: "David Rankin - pokokohua! I can't wait to tell him to his face!"

Pokokohua is a Maori term that puts someone's head on the same level as food and was one of the most offensive statements any Maori could make to another Maori.

He claimed that on occasions she made her posts during work hours, leaving the impression her views might be those of the HRC.

Ms Davidson is also of Ngapuhi descent, and on her Facebook page points out that she is the eldest child of renowned Kiwi actor Paratene, who has starred in movies such as Whale Rider and An Insatiable Moon.

She lists her high school education as including the class of 1990 at Opononi Area School and the class of 1994 at Northland College.

When asked for comment on the furore, Ms Davidson referred the Northern Advocate to the HRC.

The HRC said it was taking the complaint seriously.

It would be looked at by the commission's executive director, who would write a report for Commissioner Rosslyn Noonan by next Friday.

The commissioner would then discuss the report with Mr Rankin before the matter was taken any further.

Mr Rankin alleges that during the past six months Ms Davidson has attacked him for his views which have included criticising Te Tii Marae for charging journalists at Waitangi on Waitangi Day and describing the hikoi to Parliament over the latest foreshore legislation an "embarrassment" to Maori.

However, Mr Rankin draws the ire of some in Maoridom, some of whom say he has no credibility but has mastered the art of the press release.

He also employed a few choice words of his own to criticise Ms Davidson yesterday, saying she had a problem with free thinkers who didn't toe a "born again" Maori line.

"If you're promoting yourself as part of the Human Rights Commission, you do not say to a Maori, 'Go boil your head'.

"They feel tough behind a computer screen, but they're too frightened to say it to my face.

"We purport aroha and manaakitanga [love and care] but if someone puts a different point of view they want to kill you."

Ms Davidson has been winning support in discussion on the tangatawhenua.com website, one suggesting that his latest comment amounted to threatening violence against a woman.

Ms Davidson did not want to comment yesterday.

VETERAN film-maker Ken Loach is on the lookout for Glaswegian girls to star in his latest flick.
The Sweet Sixteen director is returning to Glasgow to shoot his new movie The Angels' Share, a comedy about a ned who gets a last chance to stay out of jail.

Loach, 74, said: "We have some great girls in the cast already, but there is definitely room for two more sparky Glaswegians.

"We're keen to open this up to girls who may never have acted before, but who are keen to give it a go."

Casting director Kahleen Crawford said: "We need bright, Glaswegian girls aged 19-26, who are just up for giving it a go."
