Fresh from the world of F1, more news about Brawn GP.
But this time, it is not about pole positions or race wins. Its about Jessica Michibata.
Who is she, you may ask?
She is Brawn GP's man-of-the-moment, Jenson Button's current squeeze.
Reports have just come in that a very drunk, Richard Branson, boss of Virgin (how apt, ha ha) made advances at Miss Michibata at a celebratory function held in a restaurant on the very day that Button secured pole (pun not intended) position for the Australian F1 Grand Prix.
Button was obviously livid and wanted to have a 'go' at Branson but was pulled away by the Brawn GP crew.
Branson shrugged the whole thing off and thought that Button over-reacted.
This story will have journos scrambling for the 'pun' books. I have already come up with some of my own.
"Virgin boss pushes all the wrong Buttons"
"Branson tells Button where to put his newly earned Pole"
I am sure you can do better than me.
As for the girl that they were 'fighting' over?
Here is a photo I took of her (and her man) at this year's Malaysian F1 Grand Prix.
She is a famous Japanese lingerie model with mixed parentage - her dad is Argentinian with Spanish and Italian ancestry while her mum is Japanese. Quite a stunner, isn't she?
Two consecutive pole positions, two race wins and a sexy model girlfriend to boot - it's no wonder that Button is having the time of his life right now.
If only he did not have to deal with 'virgins'...ha ha!
