We're not sure a gift could get any more british, unless the whole thing was steeped in tea: Prince William received the CUTEST little soccer ball for his little one!

The best part is that it doesn't matter if he and Kate have a boy or a girl, as the sport can transform anybody's life! Here's what the Prince said while addressing the UEFA meeting of football's European leaders in London:

It might be cold in Italy right now, but Maria Sharapova sure does look HOT!

LOLz, that was lame, but it's true — gurl's looking fab in Milan! We've got a ton of proof, too, as we've collected quite a few pics of the occasion (below)!

We wonder if there's some tennis going on or whether or not she's just there for pleasure. Either way, expect a souvenir!

Nothing from the airport gift shop, please!

Compared to 2010, more rich people stepped up to the plate in 2011 to give more money to charity.

The twelve BIGGEST gifts from wealthy Americans totaled more than $2.6 billion, while that figure was only $1.3 billion the year before.

Also, (a few) more people are making donations of more than $100 million with ten philanthropists doing so in 2011, while only six could spare the change in 2010.

Donations of $1 million or more in 2011 beat 2010 by nearly $2 billion! In the past year, nonprofits raked in $5.4 billion from million dollar gifts, but only $3.6 billion the previous year.

While most of the recipients of such large donations were educational institutions or museums instead of social efforts to improve the lives of those who have next to nothing, it's still wonderful to see that the super rich are willing to be super nice to organizations they feel deserve it.

Christian Lopez, the fan who caught Derek Jeter's 3000th hit, may not be so lucky after all.

Even though he asked for nothing after returning the ball to his favorite New York Yankee, the team gifted him with a suite to watch games for the rest of the season, including playoffs.

Every fan in the stadium wishing they were the one who made the catch may be a little relieved to hear it may not have been worth it. In fact, according to New York accountants, the historic catch may actually cost Lopez as much as $14,000 in taxes!

Ugh! Really? That's just absurd!

Apparently, since the total value of the seats could exceed $120,000 the IRS would consider that to be taxable income.

However, a law professor says if the seats were A GIFT then they would not be taxable, explaining:

"The legal question of whether it is a gift or prize is whether the transferor is giving the property out of detached and disinterested generosity. It's hard for me, not being a Yankee fan, to think of the Yankees as being in the business of exercising generosity to others, but there's a reasonable case to be made that these were given out of generosity."

Ummm, yeah! It seems pretty reasonable to assume the seats were given out of generosity because the fan willingly gave the ball back when he could have kept it and sold it himself!

Christian Lopez must be a stand up guy because we're actually more upset about this troubling news than he is. He told reporters:

"Worse comes to worse, I'll have to pay the taxes… The IRS has a job to do, so I'm not going to hold it against them, but it would be cool if they helped me out a little on this."

Ha! Yes, that would be VERY cool. What do you say, IRS?
