Looking further down the league besides the heavyweights, Mourinho added: "Other strong contenders for european slots would include Tottenham, Everton, Middlesbrough, Newcastle - even Bolton. I think Borgetti will score goals for them."

Borgetti...Sounds like a mexican version of a Chapati to me. Think he will be as lost as a raw Mr Pablo 'Argghn-gal' for this season.

Read an article recently on why Singaporean men scored very poorly in being romantic. Why is that so?
It's a shame that some guys here have no clue on the proper methods on treating the ladies with style and respect. No wonder my gal mates are disappointed that the behaviour of men in general are well below the required standards. So peeps, try to find out the dos and the don'ts from your sisters, cousins, close pals...if possible from the self-proclaimed 'play-yas'.

Time is on your side
To take time is not a crime
In the words of a simple man
To be one of a special kind

Two members of hip-hop band G-Unit were released from jail just recently, without bail, after they were arrested on felony gun possession charges. Lloyd Banks and fellow rapper Young Buck, were pulled over by the police, at about 11:30p.m. on Monday, near the corner of West 41st Street and Eighth Avenue. Gangsta lifestyle eh? Hope they come clean soon and not perform one of these Stunt 101s...

Soul singer Joss-y Stone has reportedly asked boyfriend Beau Dozier to marry her. The couple are not due to tie the knot for a while however, as Joss wants to wait until she is 20, which means a two year wait for those who want to congratulate the musical pair. Think they got to know each other when she was just 16. It is great that they want to prolong this 'super duper love' status for the rest of their lives.

Rooney, the 19-year-old, £60,000 per week Manchester Utd striker, proposed to his childhood sweetheart, who he has known since they were 13, in the summer of 2004. Apparently, Coleen agreed to the marriage provided Irish pop band Westlife were present. As usual, the roon-ster will fulfill her wishes as she has always been the 'queen of his heart'. The big question is, does she want the original five members gang to be there? One of them is in Aussie having a quiet life as his solo career has gone down the drain...

The gah-meh-ment has reduced the training cycle for Operationally-Ready National Servicemen (ORNS) from 13 to 10 years starting from April 1 next year. It's about time they did something like this. The dudes of this country sacrificed years of their lives wearing that green uniform and had to step back from pursuing their studies or working status in order to 'help' protect the island. You will see a lot of toasts and yam-sengs all around the pubs & nightclubs this weekend to celebrate the wonderful occasion of putting away that smelly 'don't know how many world cups has surpassed' camoflage green attire 3 years earlier than expected. Outstanding units can expect to have their last three years of training converted to two-day stints each year. My mates are absolutely thrilled about it. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam-seng!

Renee Zellweger has said she misses being full-figured as she got more male attention after putting on weight to play the famous former singleton. The actress claimed that it was a sad day when she had to throw away her D-cup bra after dropping from a size 14 back to a size 6. She said: "I was looked at by men so much more when I had something under my blouse." She is getting worried for nothing. What kind of sick freak won't wanna glance more than once on Ms Renee? Even the seven nation army would stop marching for a while...

Rumours that The OC's Mischa Barton, Katie Holmes or Jessica Biel, could all be in the frame for the Wonder Woman role. And British actress Kate Beckinsale has voiced her desire to play the part. Errr, don't think people would accept a super-thin W.W or a normal looking one..so the best choice would be Jessica Biel. It would be weird if Wonder Mischa is seen having tantrums with other villains for stealing her beau or Wonder Katie eating sweet pies and throwing 90% of the remaining portion at the villains as her main weapon...

Liam Gallagher is no stranger to controvery, this time having a pop at late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. The outspoken Oasis singer insists he "didn't give a shit" when the Nirvana frontman tragically committed suicide in 1994, and brands the 90's grunge icon a "gearhead". He said: "We were doing some gig when we heard Our Kid dedicated a song to him. Didn't give a shit myself. "Smackhead, man. Not my problem. Couple of good tunes, but other than that, a gearhead." If I'm not wrong, Noel played "D'yer wanna be a spaceman" next.
This is rock and roll...this is rock and roll....

Radiohead and Gorillaz are among artists set to contribute to a new charity album for War Child. It will also feature Razorlight, The Zutons, Manic Street Preachers, Bloc Party, Hard-Fi, The Coral, Elbow and Maximo Park. War Child charity will make the new album exclusively available on their website on September 9th. A CD release will follow a few weeks later. That is cool setlist of bands they've lined up. I am very 'optimistic' that this project will 'rock da house' and be a success. Good luck, mates.
