Credit to the people at the Sun for this lovely gross photo. I can't believe that I am actually going to say this, but Paris Hiltion has
just ruined my chance of ever liking Cristiano Ronaldo.
A little background info for the foreign readers who don't know who Hilton is. She is an heiress to a hotel fortune. She really isn't known for anything else. She is what we call the bike of the "entertainment" world because everyone has had a go on her.
Anyway, Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Madrid is a world record.
The scoring machine and Paris got down and dirty as they teamed up to celebrate the soccer ace's £80million transfer.
A witness said: "They were sucking each other's faces off like their plane was going down. At one point Ronaldo had a bottle between his legs and Paris was stroking it. It was very racy."
The pair were united in Hollywood's posh My House nightspot as news broke that Man Utd had accepted the mega-offer for Ronaldo from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
After sharing steamy cuddles and expensive champagne for two hours, Paris headed to sister Nicky's home in the Hollywood Hills at 2:05am.
Ronaldo, 24, joined her there an hour later after a brief stop at his hotel.
He left at 5am with a broad grin plastered across his face.
Paris, 28, last night confirmed she and the Portuguese wonder winger - now the world's most expensive player - were an item.
She told a friend: "He's hot, a real athlete - and the chemistry between us was electric."
The American party girl hitched up with Ronaldo just 24 hours after dumping previous love Doug Reinhardt. He has played baseball for the Anaheim Angels and Baltimore Orioles - and is a TV personality in the States.
But in a withering put-down last night, Paris told a friend: "Cristiano's much better than my ex. He was nothing but a low-paid minor league baseball player."
Ronaldo is on holiday in California after Manchester United's season ended in Premier League glory and Champions League defeat. Paris tried to pull him at the same time a year ago, thrusting herself at him in LA club Villa.
On that occasion the player knocked her back. But he never fell off her radar.
And a pal said: "She was determined to get her man this time. And what Paris wants, Paris gets. "She has been telling anyone who will listen that Ronaldo is the hottest thing she has ever seen. "She thinks he is sexy and exotic, and loves his body. And she loves men with accents. She says it's like an aphrodisiac."
Ronaldo made a beeline for Paris as soon as he spotted her with Nicky in My House.
He had intended to have drinks with some cousins but quit them to spend the rest of the night with Paris.
A nightclub source said: "As soon as he saw Paris, Cristiano kept staring at her and looking her up and down. He went over to her table to say hi - and appeared to be smitten. The two were flirting and laughing together all night. It was as if no woman but Paris existed in the club. Cristiano told Paris all about his new deal with Real Madrid and they toasted his massive new pay packet with Cristal champagne."
A bottle of Cristal can cost up to £650. And the club source said Ronaldo spent more than £15,000 on the bubbly and other drinks.
An onlooker said: "Ronaldo and Paris were all over each other, kissing in a VIP booth. They were kissing on the lips and meeting people as a couple, holding hands or with his arm around her. Her hands were all over his lap. There was a lot of very suggestive body language.
"They looked adorable together. It was as though they'd been dating for ages. He was reclined all the way back in a chair with his legs spread wide open. It looked almost pornographic.
"Paris's black minidress was getting higher and higher as the night wore on. At one point people on a neighbouring table threw silver confetti at them. A bunch stuck to Paris's upper thigh, which she draped over Ronaldo's lap."
At times Nicky tried to haul the pair up to dance with her. But they were too transfixed by each other to move.
The onlooker said: "Nicky was looking very bored and eventually she leaned over Paris's lap and grabbed Ronaldo's hands and started dancing with him in the seat.
"Then she stood up and started dancing, trying to get the happy couple to join her. But they were too busy going at it."
Paris had promised to marry strapping Reinhardt, 24. But she ended their six-month relationship after a row in another LA club on Tuesday night.
Reinhardt later arrived at her gated estate to discover he had been locked out.
Just before the split, he described Paris as "the Princess Diana of our generation"
He wrote on Twitter: "Such an amazing woman, so giving, gracious and beautiful. I love my princess. Paris is my world. Such a sweet angel."
Today, through a statement, Doug wished Paris the best of luck.
It read: "Doug refuses to take part in this ridiculous media circus. He wishes Paris and all of her future boyfriends the best of luck."
A word to Real Madrid....WATCH OUT FOR PARIS! She is a (excuse my language) a filthy slut and she will out a stain on your team if she continues to be with Ronaldo.
Also, about Hilton...she would be nothing if the media didn't pay attention to her.
Finally, Cristiano....GET OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN! Trust me Cristiano. I usually don't care about you, but oh dear god....this is the worse of the worse. Get back with one of your old ladies. :S
Anyway, thank you so much to the Sun for the photos and for the quotes. For video, and more photos, please go to the Sun's website

Manchester United have confirmed they have accepted a bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's future at United has been the subject of constant speculation, with Real having trailed his signature for the last three summers.
Real president Florentino Perez has made no secret of the fact that he would like to lure Ronaldo to El Santiago Bernabeu.
The Spanish titans have now agreed an £80million offer for the Portuguese ace and United have given the World Player of the Year permission to talk to the capital club.
Ronaldo will head to the Spanish capital to hold discussions with Real and undergo a medical.
Real have already snapped up Brazilian superstar Kaka in a world-record deal, but a move for Ronaldo would significantly eclipse that figure.
"Manchester United have received a world-record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," read a club statement.
"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30th June. The club will not comment until further notice."
Real confirmed the news in a brief statement on their website, adding that they hoped to finalise matters as soon as possible.
"Real Madrid confirm they have made an offer to Manchester United for the acquisition of the rights of the player Cristiano Ronaldo. The club hope to reach an agreement with the player in the next few days."
The news is bound to be greeted with some scepticism by United fans, who have repeatedly been told no deal had been agreed for the sale of FIFA's World Player of the Year in the face of regular statements from Spain the former Sporting Lisbon star was bound for the Bernabeu.
It was even suggested Ronaldo would be due a £20million compensation fee from Real if the deal did not go through by June 30, the date United now state themselves as when they expect matters to be concluded.
It now remains to be seen where the transfer fee could be reinvested in a squad that almost, but not quite, proved good enough to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, in addition to a hat-trick of Premier League titles.
The name of Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery is bound to crop up as a potential replacement, although the 27-year-old seems overpriced at the £40million figure being bandied about in some quarters, with Wigan's Antonio Valencia also in the frame.
Ferguson will certainly be making plans already to ensure his new faces are on board before United head to Asia for their pre-season tour.
Amid the frenzy over Ronaldo's impending departure, it is bound to be asked whether the current debt hanging over United of almost £700million has played any part in the decision to accept Real's huge bid.

While his players are either on
holiday, scoring goals in international matches, or rehabing a bad knee, VfB Stuttgart manager Markus Babbel has hit the books and has gone back to school. Why? Easy! He has to go back to get
his full coaching license at the at the Hennes-Weißweiler-Academy in Cologne. Babbel, who is from Munich has been working with 23 others including Christian Ziege and Dirk Lottner.
The course is being led by former Aalen, Pfullendorf and Reutlingen trainer Frank Wormuth. During his time on the course, the VfB team boss will be staying at a local hotel and then travelling between Stuttgart and Cologne by train (as shown to the left). As part of the training, a ten week internship is necessary, which the European Champion from 1996 will be able to serve at VfB Stuttgart. During his absence, training for the VfB first team will be taken by Rainer Widmayer and new coach Alexander Zorniger, who has come from Normannia Gmünd.
"I'm completely convinced that our players are motivated enough themselves that it won't make any difference if I am absent from training on one or two days of the week," explained Babbel on the effect of his double role as trainer and student.
Photos! :D

First off, I want to say thank you for the few couple of people who have followed us on Facebook. Thank you!! <3
You are probably thinking two things. A) Why is there something VfB in the main blog and B) why the hell am I up at 4:30 am!? Well, both lovely questions. I am up right now because I can't sleep. I have a lot of thinking I have been doing so far on my summer holidays, and I already want to go back to school. Why do I have something VfB here? Because I love Serdar, that is why!! :P Anyhooooooo, to the story. :)
For many of the VfB players, the summer break began directly after the end of season party in Amici last Saturday fortnight. The German internationals were away in Asia last week and have now also finally begun their very, VERY well deserved holiday, while a number of further internationals are currently away on duty for their respective countries. The rest of the squad are enjoying the break, with the exception of defender Serdar Tasci, who is in Stuttgart working on his comeback from a knee injury. The German international is currently undergoing a diverse program in the gym and on the pitch at the club. When asked to comment about it, Tasci said,
"I'm doing well. I'm going through my schedule daily,"
The 22 year old has time off soon but he would dearly love to be joining his team mate Sami Khedira at the Under 21 European Championships in Sweden instead.
"I'm going on holiday in the next couple of days. I'll unfortunately have to watch the championships at home in front of the television but I'll have my fingers crossed for the lads."

Oh! It feels so good to be back
updating the blog!! So sorry you guys! :)
Anyway, this will probably be one of the few posts you see from me this summer. :(
Sadly, I have to turn this laptop in on the 22nd of June.
So, I will probably be gone all summer. As for the tournament on the group Ladies Of Ole Ole, it is on hold until further notice.
So, anyway, to the post. While everyone was crazy following the Champions League final this past week, we had a couple of gents take themselves off the market....perhaps for good. Who are these two men? Well, Fernando Torres and Alexandre Pato, of course!
Pato is getting married to his long time sweetheart Sthefany on July 7th. (Yes, her name is spelled that way) But, how much will it cost? The stats will make you wish you were getting married!
Initial reports suggested an OTT blingalicious wedding with the couple spending $500,000 to entertain 1500 guests. Soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Pato apparently picked Dolce & Gabbana (of AC Milan calendar fame) to design their ensembles. With You! Magazine “exclusively” reports the couple will tie the knot at the Copacabana Palace in Brazil – and pictured Sthef outside the hotel yesterday after meeting with some professional planners.
Sthefy’s mother, however, threw her hat into the gossip ring yesterday after she confirmed the couple’s speedy nuptials in an interview. She insisted the ceremony will occur in Milan – not Brazil – and only close friends and family will be invited.
Now, on to Nando...
Fernando Torres married long, long, LONG time WAG Olalla Domingez in Madrid this past week. The wedding was so secret, the Spanish media didn't even know anything about it! Hopefully, some photos will be released from the couple soon. But, here is what the Spanish media IS reporting about the wedding:
I still commend Nando on his stealthy-ness and REALLY hope some photos surface soon. Until then, we can only mourn the fact that our Nando is off the market.

Goooooooooooood Friday morning! :) I told you that I would update the blog! Anyway, according to our friends at the BBC, Aston Villa captain Martin Laursen was forced to retire today. Citing his nagging knee injuries as the reason why.
The 31-year-old former Denmark international suffered his latest injury against West Ham in December and has since made only one appearance.
"Five months ago I was flying, I was on top of my game," said Laursen, who made an unsuccessful return in March. But I can't recover from my injury - so I've got to retire. "
Laursen, who made 91 appearances and scored 11 goals for Villa, admitted his decision was taken to help safeguard his long-term health.
He said: "I've spent a while making up my mind, thinking about things. Deciding whether I wanted to go ahead with an operation and see if I could come back or whether I should retire. It would have been a big and difficult operation. At this point, I think it's better for my health and future life to say 'that's it'."
Manager Martin O'Neill praised the leadership qualities that persuaded him to make Laursen skipper at the beginning of this campaign.
"We've missed his defensive qualities, we've missed his goals at the other end, but mainly we've missed his influence in the team," he told BBC Radio Five Live. "Over the last couple of seasons the influence he has exerted has really been terrific."
It had been hoped that as Laursen's most recent injury was to his right knee, which has been problem-free through his career, he would recover to play again this season. But after aggravating the joint during Villa's win over West Brom in January, he underwent surgery and then suffered a further reaction during a training trip to Dubai in April. Despite signing from the Italian club in 2004, the majority of his appearances came in the last two seasons as he seemed to overcome the complaints that blighted the start of his Villa Park career. He was an ever-present in the Villa line-up last term, winning the fans' player-of-the-season award, and in his absence they have slumped from third to a distant fifth in the top flight this season.
O'Neill's own playing days were ended by a similar injury and he has sympathy for the difficult decision Laursen faced.
"It's soul-searching, it's heart-wrenching. Even when you reach the ripe old age of 30, 31 you still always think you are going to play. In your mind you are still 19, but then suddenly it is all taken away from you," he said. "It is hard to come to terms with, certainly immediately. It took me about eight years."
