Monkey Business! Wayne and Coleen Rooney's car takes a beating after trip to safari park with Kai

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Monkey Business: Wayne and Colleen Rooney took their son Kai to Knowsley Safari park last week where the primates played havoc with their car


It is well known that if you drive your car into a monkey enclosure at a safari park the chances are the cheeky primates will do their fair share of damage.

And that’s exactly what happened to Coleen and Wayne Rooney when their took their son Kai to Knowsley Safari Park on Thursday last week.

The couple treated their one-year-old son to an up close encounter with the animals at the park but as they entered the monkey den the primates paid particular attention to their car.


Wayne tweeted: ‘Just been Knowsley safari park with @ColeenRoo and Kai. Monkeys all over my car. Kai loved it.’

And wife Coleen made sure she took some snaps which she posted to Twitter showing the monkeys attacking their Audi worth around £80,000.

But with Wayne thought to be earning around £150,000 a week he can afford to let his car get trashed by the cheeky animals.

Problematic primates: Coleen posted a picture of a monkey attacking a windscreen wiper on their £80,000 Audi car

Cheeky chappy: Coleen also posted a picture of a monkey peering around the windscreen and pulling on the wing mirror


Coleen tweeted: 'Great time in safari park with Kai and @WayneRooney!!! The monkeys were so funny. X.'

But she added: ‘Not good for your car though!!!’

Coleen also posted pictures of two monkeys, one peering around a wing mirror appearing to be trying to peel it from the side of the car, while another snap saw a cheeky animal snapping back a wing mirror.

Splashing out: Last week Coleen flew from Manchester to London for a Littlewoods shoot carrying an expensive personalised Louis Vuitton case worth £2,630


Earlier in the week Coleen had been in London shooting for her new fashion range with Littlewoods but also used the opportunity to catch up with friends.

As she jetted from Manchester into the capital Coleen was seen pulling a personalised Louis Vuitton suitcase worth a cool £2,630.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New York walkies: Kristen Stewart takes Bear, the rescue dog she shares with boyfriend Robert Pattinson, out for a walk in New York's East Village

Luckily for Robert Pattinson's dog Bear his owner's girlfriend Kristen Stewart is happy to take over walking duties when he isn't there.

With Pattinson was in London promoting Water For Elephants, Kirsten took the reigns as Bear's carer.


Leading the way: Bear and Kristen head out onto the street for their blustery walk


Dressed in skinny jeans, Converse trainers and a grey T-shirt, Kristen, 21, and her canine companion braved the wind and rain as they made their way across New York's East Village.

Clutching his blue lead, Kristen was careful to keep a tight hold on Bear as they set out across the city together.

Pattinson found Bear in an animal shelter while shooting Breaking Dawn in the Baton Rouge area of Louisiana.


Undeterred: Kristen and Bear don't let the New York weather stop them from heading out as they leave The Bowery Hotel on the Lower East Side


The dog was originally called Yogi Bear, but Pattinson and Kristen decided to shorten his name to Bear after Rob admitted he thought Yogi was 'a bit much.'

Kristen, and her canine companion, have been staying at one of the actress's favourite New York hotels, The Bowery, on the Lower East Side of the city.

Meanwhile, the Twilight actress is set to welcome a new man into her life after it was announced today that British actor, Sam Claflin, has been cast alongside her in Snow White and the Huntsman.

An Academy Award-predicting possum? Cross-eyed Heidi's tips for the top Oscar winners

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Squinting possum: Heidi's pronounced squint doesn't prevent her from leading a full life...and she has hidden talents


A cross-eyed possum in Germany is predicting this years Oscar winners.

Following in the footsteps of Paul the octopus, who predicted the World Cup results, Heidi the possum is giving her tips for the Academy Awards.

Each day the cute marsupial is being released in a pen, where she comes face to face with a row of fake Oscar statuettes.

Whichever statue she touches with her paw first signifies the winner in that category.

On Tuesday night, Heidi picked Black Swan star Natalie Portman to take home the Best Actress award.

The possum made Portman her chosen one after sniffing around the trophies and walking in and out of her box.


Out of the box: Here she comes for her daily walk around her pen, ready to choose the next Academy Award winner


The hilarious footage was broadcast on Jimmy Kimmel's US chat show.

A picture of each actress was taped to each statuette - complete with cross eyes to make Heidi feel at home.

Heidi, who is believed to be two-and-a-half-years-old, was abandoned outside an animal shelter in North Carolina in the United States with her sister Naira, and has been living at Leipzig Zoo in Germany since May last year.

The zoo thinks her eye condition could have been caused by her diet before she was abandoned, or because she is overweight, leading to fat deposits behind her eyes.

Heidi, who will be picking Oscar winners on Kimmel's show all week, already has thousands of followers on her Facebook page.

Her popularity is reminiscent of Knut the polar bear, who became a global star in 2007 and even featured on the front of Vanity Fair magazine.

She has also been compared to Paul the octopus, who achieved fame when he correctly predicted the outcome of matches in last year's football World Cup. Paul died from natural causes in October.
