  • NFL player Emmitt Smith discovers ancestors were slaves

    AFNY 161106 A

    American football legend Emmitt Smith was reduced to tears as he traced his family’s history during a new US TV show.

    The Dallas Cowboys great discovered that he was descended from slaves and a white slave-owner in the US premiere of Who Do You Think You Are?

    Smith shed tears as he stood by the unmarked site of his great-great-grandfather’s grave, on the outskirts of a white cemetery in Burnt Corn, Alabama.

    “I am glad I do not have his heart. And I am glad he never got to know me,” an emotional Smith said when he found out he was a descendent of a white slave-owner.

    Smith was told that he was 81 per cent African and that his ancestors were originally from the region of Benin, on West Africa’s infamous Slave Coast.

    In the programme, Smith visited Africa with his wife to trace his slave roots.

    He said: “This has been such a powerful journey for me and I feel like my eyes have been opened wide.

    “I feel good, I feel like I have been cleansed. History is my story now.”

    Other celebrities slated to be taking part in the show are former Friends star Lisa Kudrow, Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick, director Spike Lee, and actresses Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields.

  • Mark Wahlberg thinks David Beckham has

    SPL42318_049

    The Departed star Mark Wahlberg has revealed he thinks David Beckham has “ruined the neighbourhood”.

    The actor thinks the soccer star has been nothing but a nuisance since making the big move from the UK to Los Angeles. Sources say Wahlberg has recently made his opinion of the Beckhams public, saying that they’ve “ruined the neighbourhood”.

    The Beckhams purchased a home in Beverly Hills close to Mark and his family, which he claims was a quiet neighbourhood prior to the famous Brits moving to town.

    Wahlberg has said: “Man, the Beckhams. It used to be so quiet on my road. Then David moves in with his family. Suddenly we’ve got paparazzi hanging out day and night. Now they’ll follow any car that drives down the road…”

    And it’s not just paparazzi he has problems with, it’s football. “I’m not telling Beckham to take his family home,” says Wahlberg.

    “I’m just not sure why he came to America in the first place. Man, we don’t want your soccer. There’s no way Americans are going to buy the idea of 90 minutes of running around without much happening. Thanks for trying, guys, but we’ll stick to baseball and basketball.”

  • Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is in the middle of a bidding war for his mansion as a host of players are trying to buy the property

    Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is in the middle of a bidding war for his mansion as a host of players are trying to buy the property.

    Cristiano, 24, recently signed an £80 million transfer deal to move to Spanish club Real Madrid. The star has since put his seven-bedroom mansion in Cheshire, UK, up for sale.

    The footballer bought the property for £3.85 million in 2008 and it has since gone up for sale at £4.5 million. Players bidding for the property include Carlos Tevez, 25, Emmanuel Adebayor, 25, and Gareth Barry, 28.

    However, player Kolo Toure, 28, is currently leading the bid after putting in an offer of £5.5 million.

    A source said: “All the big players signing for City are having a sniff around Cheshire for the best house.

    “Toure has made the biggest offer so far, but the others haven’t given up on the chase yet. They all have deep pockets.”

  • Footballer David Beckham is reportedly considering a move back to his old club Tottenham

    Footballer David Beckham is reportedly considering a move back to his old club Tottenham.

    David, 34, is said to be looking for houses in London as he prepares to think about leaving LA Galaxy to return to the Premiership. His contract with the Galaxy is up in November when the season ends.

    Becks attended Tottenham’s school of excellence before he signed with Manchester United and his family are said to be fans of the club.

    A family friend said: “They are looking at properties in London. Most fans associate David with United, but his first club with Spurs and his family are massive fans. It’d be like returning to his spiritual home.”

    The club’s manager Harry Redknapp admitted he would love to snap Becks up to play for the club.

    He said: “To have someone like Beckham at your club… if the opportunity came and someone said he was available, any club would have to think about it.”
