Who\'s queen of the WAGs?
Victoria Beckham,celebrity news
Victoria beckham
As the Beckhams settle into their
Beverly Hills mansion, Victoria has left a WAG-sized hole back home in Britain.
Without their leader, who amongst Coleen, Cheryl, Carly
et al will wrestle her crown?
Coleen McLoughlin, 21

Coleen McLoughlin perfume
WAG stats: Wayne Rooney\'s fiancée
Top of the league: Coleen looks fantastic these days since she started dressing her age a little more. She recently made an open bid for top WAG status, launching her own perfume - Coleen X. The scent is expected to become part of a beauty range that could earn her over £10 million.
Own goal: Mrs B might turn up her nose at Coleen\'s contract to model for George at Asda, though Coleen is keen to do more than hang out with the other WAGs. \'We get along really well, but we only see each other on match days,\' she says. \'I don\'t want to be a footballer\'s wife. I want an identity all of my own.\'
Queen rating: 10/10
The sky is the limit for Coleen, who rarely puts a foot wrong style-wise. Naturally pretty and fresh-faced, she is in talks to start a TV deal and could go even further than VB herself; advertising contracts, a book deal and a magazine column already mean she is worth £6.5 million
Cheryl Cole, 24

Cheryl Cole
WAG stats: Ashley Cole\'s wife
Top of the league: Cheryl has similar girl-band roots to Posh and also bagged herself one of the best-looking young players on the England squad. Ashley and Cheryl have been dubbed Greedy and Tweedy for their various advertising deals, and hope to become as big as their idols one day. \'I think it\'s quite sweet when people call us the new Posh and Becks,\' she says.
Own goal: The former Miss Tweedy has lowered her chances of leading the WAGS by mouthing off about their lack of talent. \'It really annoys me when people try to call me a footballer\'s wife,\' rants the Geordie lass. \'Footballers\' wives have no careers and live off their husbands\' money. If I\'m going shopping, I\'ll pay with the money I\'ve worked hard for.\'
Queen rating: 9/10
With her band, Girls Aloud, going from strength to strength, Cheryl is famous in her own right - just as Victoria was when she and David met

Jamelia
WAG stats: Darren Byfield\'s fianceé
Top of the league: The couple have survived a false kiss and tell in the tabloids and are now closer than ever. Darren spent thousands of pounds on a surprise birthday party for his loved one earlier this year, with champagne and canapés for guests at London celeb hangout the Embassy Club.
Own goal: The stunning singer is unlikely to have made any allies in the footie wives\' camp when she said the WAGs were leeches. \'God forbid if Alex Curran split up with Steve Gerrard. Who would she be then?\' she ranted. \'Footballers\' wives don\'t do anything. All they do is spend their boyfriends\' money.\'
Queen rating: 8/10
She may have upset some of her fellow WAGS, but with her sexy looks, understated glamour and chart-topping career, mum-of-two Jamelia would be a good choice to represent the ladies and help shed their money-grabbing image | ![](\"http://www.handbag.com/graphics/blank.gif\") |

Alex Curran
WAG stats: Steven Gerrard\'s wife
Top of the league: Already mum to two daughters, two-year-old Lily Ella and
baby Lexie, Alex recently married her man in a glitzy ceremony. The evening was complete with mirrored dancefloor... but not a matching throne in sight.
Own goal: She may have her own style column, but sometimes the sexy blonde can take it too far. Often spotted in Juicy Couture tracksuits and Ugg boots, Alex has yet to prove she can rival the former Spice Girl in the style stakes. She also hit back at Jamelia\'s jibes in not-so-spectacular style, saying, \'She\'ll be glad to know I don\'t know her boyfriend\'s name, but Steven thinks he\'s lower than a non-league football player.\'
Queen rating: 7/10
Alex came second to Cheryl Cole in a recent poll of the sexiest footie wives and the yummy mummy is also pals with Mrs B, with whom she shares style tips. \'Victoria and I get on really well - she\'s lovely and such great company,\' says Alex
Elen Rives, 29
celebrity love life,celebrity news
Elen Rives baby
WAG stats: Frank Lampard\'s fiancée
Top of the league: Elen, who has just given birth to her second daughter, Isla, looks in great shape for a new mum, despite her recent woes. The fiery Latina clearly loves her clothes too - she was spotted throwing a strop before the World Cup last year when BA staff at Heathrow told her she couldn\'t take five large pieces of luggage on board.
Own goal: The poor mum-of-two has been having a tough time of it recently since reports Lampard cheated on her with an Eastern European brunette in Las Vegas. But they are weathering the storm in true Beckham style. She reportedly told a cousin: \'We\'re not splitting up. But Frank is in the last-chance saloon.\'
Queen rating: 6/10
Although she stole Posh\'s favourite girl\'s name, Luna, for her daughter, Elen has proved she is one hot (and forgiving) momma

Toni Poole
WAG stats: John Terry\'s wife
Top of the league: As the partner of England\'s captain, Toni has to understand the game comes first... which seemed to be the case when he missed the birth of the couple\'s twins in May! However, he more than made up for it by arranging for Lionel Richie to perform at their £800,000 wedding in June at a stately home in Oxshott, Surrey.
Own goal: Like Posh, the pretty blonde beautician has had to cope with her man\'s alleged affairs - although they are now happier than ever with their son and daughter. But Toni has now moved her mum into a house next to their mansion on a private Surrey estate to help her with the tots.
Queen rating: 5/10
Toni has always stood by her man and helped him to get where he is today. \'She\'s been there from the start,\' he says. \'When I was earning £46 a week she was earning £250 a week - she was taking me out to restaurants
Emma Hadfield, 24

Emma Hadfield
WAG stats: Gary Neville\'s wife
Top of the league: Gary was best man at the Beckhams\' wedding in 1999, but busy Becks was gutted not to be able to return the favour when Gary and Emma tied the knot last month in Manchester Cathedral – although his sister Joanne was there. The stunning ceremony was followed by a £1 million bash at their 17th-century home.
Own goal: Top marks to the pair for ignoring all magazine deal offers on their big day. However the limelight-loving WAGs surely sneered at Emma walking out of the cathedral in full view of the public; the bride and groom traditionally hide away at WAG
weddings to avoid risking their expensive agreements.
Queen rating: 4/10
Emma, who has already bagged herself a £170,000 engagement ring, is no stranger to bling - this classy brunette is always stylishly dressed in designer togs that even Mrs B would envy!
Carly Zucker, 24

Carly Zucker
WAG stats: Joe Cole\'s fiancée
Top of the league: Her flat tummy became the envy of women across the world when she was snapped running around Baden-Baden last year, and Carly, a personal trainer from Cobham, Surrey, didn\'t miss an opportunity with the paparazzi. However she looked thinner than ever when she arrived for
John Terry\'s wedding, though she insisted she has just changed her exercise routine, opting for Pilates and ballet instead of weights.
Own goal: The feisty brunette is rumoured to have fallen out with VB during the World Cup. When skinny Posh labelled her \'beefy\', Carly responded by describing her as \'emaciated\'.
Queen rating: 3/10
She may be stunning and live in a £3 million home with her man, but Carly is an outsider in the race to steal Victoria\'s crown. She is happy pursuing her own career and is unlikely to want to become a full-time WAG
Louise Bonsall, 28

Louise Bonsall-WAG
WAG stats: Michael Owen\'s wife
Top of the league: Pretty Louise, who married Michael in June 2005, recently announced she is expecting the pair\'s third child – she is already mum to Gemma Rose, four, and one-year-old James. Childhood sweethearts who have grown up together, the couple do a lot for
charity, with Michael working hard for Sport Relief.
Own goal: She may have remained tight-lipped throughout Michael\'s career, but this is one WAG who doesn\'t like the limelight - although she hit the headlines when she was badly injured falling off a horse in 2004.
Queen rating: 2/10
She favours Stella McCartney and looks great in shorts, but shy Louise is unlikely to want to take on Mrs B\'s mantle and lead the WAGs. She is happier working out in the gym at their North Wales mansion or playing with her kids than being photographed or going clubbing

Abigail Clancy
WAG stats: Peter Crouch\'s girlfriend
Top of the league: Abbey, who was the runner-up in Britain\'s Next Top Model last year, has been signed by LivingTV for new TV series \'Beauty and the Best\' with Janice Dickinson. However, the Scouse lass was told to lose her accent to avoid confusing American viewers: \'An elocution teacher taught me how to pronounce words correctly and stuff,\' she says.
Own goal: Liverpool star
Peter Crouch bought tight-fisted Abbey a £20,000 Mini for Christmas, but she returned the festive gesture with a £20 bubblegum maker. She also upstaged her fellow WAGs at a fashion show by designer boutique Cricket in October, which is bound to have generated some ill feeling.
Queen rating: 1/10
After last year\'s alleged cocaine scandal, Pete may have taken her back, but she is far from being the leader of the WAGs. Abbey is also trying to make it big in the States, so Victoria may not appreciate having her rival under her nose
