VIDEO:Anfield Rap II? Sturridge is the new Kop idol as striker reveals studio sessions


He's got the moves with his trademark celebration grooves, now Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge could be the man to bring the world the sequel no-one's been waiting for - a new Anfield Rap.
The England striker has revealed he spends his time off the pitch in a studio producing music with a friend and says he likes to rap and occasionally sing.
But the bashful rhymemaster, who's told Jay-Z's Life & Times website that he's a fan of Drake, J.Cole and considers Kanye West an 'innovator', would still rather score goals than a record deal.

'I produce some music with one of my friends. It's a range of styles. I can rap. I can sing a little bit. I wouldn't say I'm going to be anything but I can do a little bit,' he told Lifeandtimes.com.
If he could get a few teammates on board, Sturridge appears to the skills to create a new Anfield Rap, a follow-up to the released by Liverpool players, co-written by midfielder Craig Johnston and rapper Derek B,  ahead of the 1988 FA Cup Final. 
That song reached number three in the UK Singles Chart despite being as one critic said, 'inexplicably awful'.

For Sturridge to turn goal scorer to recording artist wouldn't be unprecedented. John Barnes, who featured in the 1988 hit, rapped on New Order's only British number one, World In Motion, the England team's song for the 1990 World Cup.
'John Barnes rapped and Andy Cole rapped but, in this social media age is that kind of thing acceptable. If I ever released anything it'd have to be under an alias,' Sturridge said.
Perhaps he could pay tribute to his Birmingham roots with something like Brum Dan-MC, go with Wu-tang Dan if his material has a bit of an edge or go with the simple, catchy moniker of Ice-D.
'I'm just going to stay in my lane, and that's football,' Sturridge said.

Chelsea FC Boss Roman Abramovich and Girlfriend Dasha Zhukova buy's off restaurant table to lunch date.

He’s wealthy enough to book every table in any restaurant of his choosing if he wants to dine out in private, and judging by the empty chairs surrounding Roman Abramovich on Monday afternoon it looked as if he’d done just that. Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino. The couple were spotted as they surveyed their menus in silence before a waiter approached and obligingly took their order. Someone's pleased: Roman Abramovich smiles broadly as he relaxes in an empty Portofino restaurant with Dasha Zhukova The good life: Roman sits with a large glass of red wine in front of him on the table while his model girlfriend checks the menu Giving orders: A restaurant employee takes their food orders With a glass of red wine in front of him, Chelsea owner Roman looked relaxed in a short sleeve

Pictures from the Golden Globes 2014 Red Carpet worst Dress

Image
It's one of the biggest social events on the A-list calendar, so the pressure is on for the A-list to shine at the Golden Globes.   And while Margot Robbie, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Gunn lit up the red carpet, leading the best-dressed pack in off-white, not everyone got it quite right. Sandra Bullock,  usually so fashion-forward,   made a rare misstep at this year's event in an unflattering pink, blue and black color block gown and messy side ponytail but, way out in front of the worst-dressed pack, Lady Victoria Hervey wore a dress that made her resemble a reject from an X-rated version of Dancing On Ice. Paula Patton, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence also turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Here FEMAIL round up the best and the very worst fashion of the 71st annual Golden Globes awards. What WAS she thinking? Lady Victoria Hervey goes for the 'sexy' barely there look at the Golden Globes this year but her dress resembles a pair of opaque

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom reunite to watch Kanye West gig with the rest of the clan

With his quick temper and fondness for incendiary hyperbole, Kanye West isn't the first person you think of when it comes to promoting peace, love and understanding.  But it seems that his romantic proposal to Kim Kardashian last Tuesday night is having a knock on effect in the famous family as her sister Khloe has reunited with her estranged husband Lamar Odom. Well, for one night at least... and it was all for the love of Kanye.  The power of Yeezus: Lamar Odom was spotted arriving at Kanye West's Staples Center gig on Monday; his wife Khloe Kardashian and family were inside the venue The 34-year-old NBA star arrived alone to the Staples Center to watch West's gig on Monday night but according to eyewitnesses was soon seated by Khloe, 29, in the VIP area.  What's more, he was seen receiving a hearty embrace from the Kardashians' own Don Corleone - Kris Jenner, 57, - which suggests his welcome back into the 'Family' is official.  'L
