Sometimes we wish we were a little schoolboy in England so Kate Middleton could possibly pay a visit to our school, at which point we would courteously ask if we could touch her baby bump, and maybe she would oblige.

It would be the defining moment of our hypothetical English schoolboy life!

The Duchess took herself and her precious royal cargo to the Willows Primary School in Manchester on Tuesday to launch a program to combat the damaging effects of drug and alcohol abuse on the country's young people.

And, obvi, she looked FABULOUS in a print Erdem shift dress and blue suede Prada pumps.

Her Disney princess hair wafted gracefully in the breeze as she waved to her subjects.

Oh, to be so flaw-free.

Well these are inneresting!

Rita Ora is never one to shy away from fashion risks, and these glasses fall right into that category!

While making her exit from BBC Breakfast in Manchester on Monday, the singer was sporting a pair of Henry Holland shades with the phrase "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle, in my eye" etched into them.

Sounds painful, but the truth hurts, right?

What do U think of Rita's sunnies???

One of these Ewok's from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is NOT as cute and cuddly as they seem.

Nicholas Read, a 41-year-old dwarf who played one of the adorable alien creatures in the George Lucas film, has plead guilty to exposing himself to a female college student on a train bound for Manchester, England.

Yuck!

We don't know what he was thinking, but it wasn't the first time he

Their the two best friends you ever did see!

Philosophical funnyman Russell Brand joined the always-inspirational Dalai Lama in Manchester UK Saturday, as part of the Stand Up and Be The Change initiative.

Quick witted RussRuss said of the Dalai:

"He is intense and sort of mellow, which is what you expect of someone who meditates five times a day."

Apparently, the pair went together like peaceful peanut butter and enlightened jelly!

Now that's a sandwich we'd like to munch on…

Oh man!

Looks like Beyonce's moves are just as FIERCE off the stage as they are on!

She and her hubby, Jay-Z, took a break from the Watch The Throne tour to check out their friend Chris Martin's style of tune-age during Coldplay's gig in Manchester on Sunday night, and during their performance of Fix You, the diva couldn't help but shake those curves to the music like there was no tomorrow!

Ch-ch-check her out (above) in the video and the ONLY photo to be found of them in the whole world wide web! Damn those paparazzi for not being sneaky enough!

But hot damn!

Can she RAGE or what?!

If this how she gets down for Coldplay, we can't begin to imagine how she'd look in a mosh pit during a GWAR concert!

Ha!

Manchester United!

In the past five years, Manchester United has doubled its international fan base to 659 million people!!

That's unbelievable!

The craziest part? Only 1% of Manchester's fans are from the UK!

173 million fans were from the Middle East and Africa, 325 million were from the Asian Pacific and 108 million in China.

We guess maybe a few dozen were from the U.S.? LOLz!

They are even planning to expand their fan base further with a huge tour of South Africa and China planned for the near future.

Manchester United's commercial revenue is over 100 MILLION euros a year!

That's a lotta dough.

We're assuming all the money is from t-shirt sales. LOLz!
