THE WAGs may have ruled the media roost this summer but its the HABs Husbands and Boyfriends were intrigued by now.
Hitched or hooked-up to some of the sexiest women in the world, these fellas seem happy to play second fiddle to their more famous female mates.
But are they? In a world where gender roles are blurred at the best of times, it must hurt to pose at a premiere and hear only these words in response, 'Out the way, mate, we cant see your missus'.
From music moguls and Oscar wannabes to textile barons and rappers-in-waiting, we take a look at the men walking two steps behind the hottest girls on the planet
KEVIN FEDERLINE
HAB TO: Britney Spears
DAY JOB: On top of flashing his pants and partying with mates in Vegas, K-Fed has somehow found time to record a rap album.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: Endless whinges about being seen as Mr Spears have ensured K-Fed stays in the news. That and his impressive ability to spend Brits cash.
THE FUTURE: Wed like to think Kev has a glittering career as a rapper ahead of him. But after one reviewer described his single PopoZao as incredibly horrible were not so sure.
ARUN NAYAR
HAB TO: Elizabeth Hurley
DAY JOB: Half-Indian Arun is the heir to a textile fortune in Mumbai.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: A messy divorce in which he accused ex-wife Valentina of mental torture threatened to overshadow his relationship with leggy Liz.
THE FUTURE: Those strokably silky locks are just begging for the LOreal treatment. Because Aruns worth it.
WHAT SHE SAYS: Hes lovely hes a fabulous guy I adore him. Gush.
JORDAN BRATMAN
HAB TO: Christina Aguilera
DAY JOB: As if marriage to Xtina were not enough to keep him busy, Jordans a music exec with an impressive list of clients from Pink to Madonna.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: The purchase of a five-carat diamond engagement ring worth £40,000 was flashy by some standards. But then keeping Xtina happy must come at a price so hes forgiven.
THE FUTURE: Not much of a looker himself, Jordans inspired a whole generation of geeks to pull the hottest girl in school. A career as a motivational speaker on the subject surely beckons for Bratman.
RUPERT FRIEND
HAB TO: Keira Knightley
DAY JOB: Also an actor, Ruperts best known for playing Mr Wickham in the big-screen version of Pride & Prejudice.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: Rupert seems unfussed by fame but those chiselled cheekbones make their own bid for stardom every time hes snapped.
Top marks for a Zoolander pout to rival Keiras.
THE FUTURE: Considering his scary similarity to Orlando Bloom, perhaps Rupert can earn his keep as a stunt double on POTC 3.
PRINCE PHILIP
HAB TO: HM The Queen
DAY JOB: Consort to her Maj
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: His frequently offensive comments about everything from Chinese people to single mums act as a happy reminder that Phils still alive and kicking.
THE FUTURE: The Bulgarians and Romanians look set to join the EU any comments, Phil?
LEN WISEMAN
HAB TO: Kate Beckinsale
DAY JOB: Len is a film writer and director. He met Kate on the set of vamp thriller Underworld.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: Who can forget those mid-surf snogs with Kate in a pair of Mrs Wiseman-emblazoned bikini briefs.
THE FUTURE: Yet another Underworld movie is in the pipeline. Flogging. Dead. Horse.
DANNY MODER
HAB TO: Julia Roberts
DAY JOB: Danny met Jules while working as a camera operator on The Mexican. Hes since worked on Mr and Mrs Smith, Fun with Dick and Jane and Friends With Money.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: Bar a few ugly public rows with his bride, none.
THE FUTURE: Domestic bliss with twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, we hope. Although Julias said to blame Danny for her disastrous recent run on Broadway since it was his advice to do theatre. Bad call, D.
WHAT SHE SAYS: Whos that hunk of burning love? (her alleged first words on spotting Danny across a film set).
PETER ANDRE
HAB TO: Katie Price aka Jordan
DAY JOB: Er, does he have one? Oh yes, writing about his life with Jordan in autobiography All About Us: My Story.
BIDS FOR THE LIMELIGHT: Fairly few in his own right recently. Which seems a shame when you remember the infectious beats of both Insania and Mysterious Girl.
THE FUTURE: Peter and Katie are trying for another baby after a tragic miscarriage in the summer. Petes also wangled a cameo as himself in the new series of Hotel Babylon.

a couple of years ago, he started a conversation with a blind lady about guide dogs (seeing eye dogs). He said he's heard a rumour that anorexics go round with "eating dogs." On a rodyal vist to a cheese making place, he refused to wear a protective hat so they had to dispose of cheese worth tens of thousands of pounds! 
He sure has some balls, or he is just arrogant, or stupid ... one of those.
To measure someone's success merely on the extent of their fame, is a ridiculous thing to do.
