This is for cricket buffs who just can't have enough of gupshup about their favourite cricketers.
That naughty, naughty spin bowling legend, Shane Warne, is in the news again for his on-again, off-again relationship with former wife Simone Callahan, which comes close to paralleling that of Elizabeth Taylor and the late Richard Burton.
Reportedly back again with Callahan in a can't-live-with-and-cannot-do-without relationship, Warne is reportedly about to start work on a giant Melbourne mansion ostensibly in order to entertain his wealthy Indian business connections.
The spin king's list of affluent Indian friends has burgeoned since his involvement with Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
Poker aficionado Warne is said to have forked out a hefty $3.35 million for the grand mansion last July in a bid to seal his relationship with Simone Callahan, mother of his three children Brooke, Jackson and Summer.
The couple, who, once again re-united last December, will bulldoze the four-bedroom home to build a luxurious mansion replete with an underground car park, swimming pool and home cinema.
The family was seen together when Warne competed in the World Poker Championship in Las Vegas in July and again in London during a brief holiday. Last week they were spotted together cruising Brighton in Warne's ritzy Lamborghini Superleggera.
