Buffon's agent blasts Ballon d'Or snub

By Naija Yarnings -
The shot-stopper's absence from a leaked list for the award attracted the ire of Silvano Martina, who said his client more than deserved a place among the elite names Gianluigi Buffon's omission from the Fifa Ballon d'Or 59-man shortlist has been heavily criticised by the Juventus goalkeeper's agent. The official document is not due to be released until next week, but a leaked shortlist for the prestigious award emerged on Friday, with Buffon's name conspicuous by its absence. Buffon enjoyed another superb season with Juve in 2014-15 as he helped the Turin club to a league and cup double and reached the Champions League final and he has already proven his value this campaign, producing an instrumental performance in their 2-1 win at Manchester City last month. The Italy international has spoken of his omission from the list of candidates for the award already , but his representative Silvano Martina told Tuttomercatoweb: "What Buffon has done and is doing is plain for everyone to see. "I don't know if he'd win, so it still doesn't have much meaning, but when you look at some of the names on there, the fact that Gianluigi isn't among them speaks for itself. "If you can find a goalkeeper who did better that he did in all competitions last season, I'd be shocked." Lev Yashin is the only goalkeeper to win the honour, doing so in 1963.

Amber Rose's likeness and name have been used to allegedly lure women into prostitution. According to TMZ, police are investigating a company that was soliciting models "for a paid celebrity photoshoot and clothing line."
