Spanish Media Paid Woman To Bed Cristiano Ronaldo In a story that might be shocking in a pre-Tiger Woods and Jesse James world, a Spanish woman named Naya (who may or may not be a model) claims that a media outlet paid her close to $5,500 to seduce Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and then report back on his performance. Wow. Thanks a lot, Spain. Our American tabloids are going to hear this story and go, "D'oh! Why didn't we think of that? It's brilliant!" Watch your back, Mark Sanchez. According to Naya, the ex-fiancee of Kiko "Paquirrín" Rivera (apparently Spain's answer to Brandon Davis), she met Cristiano after his team's February 21 match and successfully lured him into bed. And why did Cristiano—who's been romantically linked to Paris Hilton and, most recently, Kim Kardashian—pick this random chick as his sex toy for the evening? But Naya didn't stop there. Here are a few more details of the romp(s): "You can’t co...

‘Mr Lalit Modi has had a trail of failed ventures and defaults till four years back but has a lifestyle now that includes a private jet, a luxury yacht and a fleet of Mercedes S class and BMW cars all acquired in the last three years.’ Thus opens a highly confidential and explosive report by the income-tax department that has been in the possession of the government for six months now but formed the basis of any action only on Thursday evening after a raging controversy over secret ownerships and sweetheart deals in the Indian Premier League, or IPL, stalled both houses of Parliament. Highly-placed sources in the I-T department and the Congress party told ET that Mr Modi has been on the government radar for quite sometime. The alleged opaqueness with which he conducted the multi-billion dollar cricket tournament and the manner in which he took on home minister P Chidambaram in 2009 seem to have resulted in a detailed enquiry into his activities by the I-T department. The report,...

Australian Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers of the modern era, announced his retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday with the aim of extending his international career in shorter forms of the game. The 33-year-old Lee made his debut in 1999 and racked up 310 wickets at 30.81 in 76 Tests, the fourth highest Australian wicket-taker of all time behind Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Dennis Lillee. "It's not the finish or the end of me. I do have a lot more cricket left in me. Test cricket has to go in order to prolong my one-day cricket for Australia," he told a media conference at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Lee played his last Test for his country against South Africa in late 2008 and has since struggled with foot, side and ankle injuries, with the side strain robbing him of the chance to take part in last year's Ashes series against England. "This hasn't happened overnight, it's been a long, long process," Lee said. "My reason for...

THE FIRST IPL IN DEV BHUMI WILL BE PLAYED ON APRIL 16. THANKS TO HIMACHAL PRADESH CRICKET ASSOCIATION. FOR GIVING US SUCH A WONDERFULL PLACE TO PLAY CRICKET.

A knee injury may have kept her off the court of late, but Serena Williams still looked in fantastic shape while on holiday in Miami yesterday. The tennis star, who spent the day on the beach, was spotted playing American football in the surf with a group of friends. And despite the down-time, she did not disappoint in the style stakes. The 28-year-old wore a bright green bikini with black lace trim, and, bizarrely given the situation, a co-ordinating black lace glove. The look was completed by chandelier earrings. It is not the first statement swimwear she has been seen wearing lately. Only last week she was seen soaking up the Florida sun in a geometric-print cut-out swimsuit. She had been celebrating after winning the 2009 WTA Tour Player of the Year award, as well as the Doubles Team Of The Year award with her sister.

Sania smashes 'hurtful' sex quote In 2005, Sania Mirza strongly denied saying she supported pre-marital sex after remarks attributed to her sparked protests. She said her comments at a leadership summit in Delhi had been misquoted and that pre-marital sex was a sin Allah could not forgive. Mirza's effigy was burnt amid protests in her home state of Andhra Pradesh. She was quoted as saying that whether before or after marriage, the most important matter was that sex was safe.  Sania's 'un-Islamic' dress The same year, security for her at a tournament in Kolkata was stepped up after rumours that a radical Islamic group had threatened to stop her playing in the tournament unless she changed her on-court dress. At the Delhi summit, Mirza also defended her dress saying that even if she wore a four-inch skirt, it was her decision and others should not have anything to do with it. Some groups protested over her dress, calling it 'un-Islamic'.  Sania ‘dis...

Sania Mirza and Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik finally got married on Monday. The 23-year-old Indian ace and 28-year-old Shoaib were scheduled to wed on April 15, but the family advanced the date. The Indian tennis ace was dressed in a red sari, the one her mother Nasima wore for her nikaah 25 years ago. Shoaib, a former Pakistan captain, wore a black sherwani, designed by Shantanu and Nikhil, for the nikaah ceremony, held at hotel Taj Krishna.
