Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk can't keep their hands off each other at football match

With Cristiano Ronaldo being one of the most famous footballers of our generation, you would assume the 26-year-old sportsman is a big fan of the beautiful game. However, on Saturday, Ronaldo seemed more interested in kissing and cuddling his stunning girlfriend Irina Shayk than watching the goings on between Real Madrid and Hercules at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Saturday. But then, who can blame Ronaldo, given that his girlfriend is a stunning 25-year-old lingerie model.

And Irina has been honest with her feelings about football since she started dating the Real Madrid star. During an interview last year, while Irina wouldn't talk about her relationship with Ronaldo, she laughed: 'I'm not a fan of soccer, for sure not!' Irina has been working hard in recent months promoting her new issue of Sports Illustrated magazine and launching a new clothing collection Xti 2011-12 with Arthur Sales.

Ronaldo and Irina's relationship seems to be going from strength to strength



Since dating Ronaldo, Irina's career has gone from strength to strength, and she has modelled for clients including Victoria's Secret and Ory swimwear. However, Irina, who was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, said it wasn't an easy decision for her to move to New York and follow her dream.


She said: 'We didn't even have fashion magazines there.' Irina also described how she was discovered, and what encouraged her to try to make it as a model.

She said: 'It was by pure chance. My mother saw an ad on a bus stop and I came to a local beauty school accompanying my older sister. 'I was noticed by a person from a local model agency and he proposed that I participate in a beauty contest Miss Chelyabinsk.'

I never thought of a career of as a model and it was a total surprise for me when I won the contest and became Miss Chelyabinsk. Then I started modelling in Paris.' Now Irina is enjoying a hugely successful modelling career, mainly down to her stunning looks and amazing curves.

Peekaboo! Irina's outfit featured sheer and mesh panelling which showed off her trim figure


Speaking recently about how she maintains her figure, Irina told E! Online: 'I do work out five times a week when I’m in New York. I eat healthy. I never diet. 'I just eat whatever I want to. When you’re happy inside and you feel great. You just show it in the body and face.'
And that's exactly what Irina did yesterday when she launched Xti 2011-12 in Madrid. Wearing a grey sheer lace corset and tight black leggings with mesh side panels, Irina beamed for photographers as she posed outside the event.

Maria Kirilenko, Daniela Hantuchova and Tatiana Golovin posed in skimpy bikinis

They're accomplished on clay and great on grass. And as these pictures show, they're pretty hot on sand too. Tennis players Maria Kirilenko, Daniela Hantuchova and Tatiana Golovin posed for the swimsuit edition of the American Sports Illustrated magazine. Clad in skimpy bikinis, they rolled around on a beach in the Dominican Republic.

Miss Golovin, 21, was born in Moscow but now lives in North London with her boyfriend, Arsenal player Samir Nasri. Her highest singles ranking to date is 12 and she reached the U.S. Open quarter-finals in 2006. Miss Kirilenko, 22, also hails from Moscow and her highest ranking was 18th in the world last year.








Court beauties: Maria, Daniela and Tatiana on the beach





Miss Hantuchova is from Slovakia and has reached both the quarter-finals of the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, which starts next week.
Darcie Baum, who ran the shoot, said Miss Golovin was the most obliging model. 'Personality-wise, she was just a lot of fun. She was like, "You want me to hang upside down? Sure. Take my top off? Sure."

Kirilenko was the most modest, probably because her mother, Olga, was watching.' The Sports Illustrated shoot is becoming a tradition for women tennis players. In 2006 Maria Sharapova posed, and the year before it was Venus Williams. Steffi Graff started the trend in 1997, followed by Serena Williams in 2003 and 2004. Anna Kournikova also posed in 2004.

Shakira and new boyfriend Gerard Piqué share a passionate kiss on magazine cover

They've been romantically linked since last year but are rarely seen out together. But now Shakira and Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué have made their relationship official - as a photograph of the couple sharing a passionate kiss has been used on the cover of Colombian magazine Caras. he 34-year-old singer is seen closing her eyes and leaning in for a romantic embrace with her 24-year-old sportsman beau.

Shakira announced at the start of the year that her 11-year relationship with lawyer Antonio de la Rua, 37, the eldest son of the former Argentinian premier, amid rumours that he had been cheating on her. And last month, Piqué, who plays for FC Barcelona, uploaded a photograph from his birthday on February 2 of himself and the Colombian singer celebrating with friends.
The singer first met Piqué last spring while shooting the video to her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) - the official track of the 2010 World Cup. Barcelona-based newspaper El Periodico de Catalunya claimed they had a string of secret encounters following their initial meeting. It said they both spent a night in the seven-room Hotel Atzaro in Ibiza last July. The footballer is said to have arrived and left wearing the same clothes.

However, Shakira has previously dismissed reports of a romance. At a press conference in Barcelona she described the claims as a 'waka-rumour' and added: 'You shouldn't take any notice of waka-rumours.' Pique was also quick to deny that they were lovers, telling reporters last month: 'We're just friends. There's nothing more to it.'

But in February, the pair were spotted holding hands as they left a restaurant in Barcelona, finally confirming rumours of a romance. Shakira announced her split from De La Rua, son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, on her official website in January.

The couple said: 'During our almost 11 years together we have loved each other deeply, taken care of each other and stood by one another. 'They have been the most wonderful years of our lives, and thanks to that love and the respect we have shared for one another, we have been an exceptional couple and partners.'

Our friendship and understanding of one another is unwavering and indestructible.' The couple added that they viewed their separation as temporary, and that de la Rua - who is also Shakira's agent - would continue to oversee the singer's business and career interests. 'We move forward together as partners, developing projects together, working hand in hand and in close communication,' the pair said.

Toned and tanned the 30-year-old looked incredible in the patterned two-piece. Gisele was topping up her tan in at her hotel before her performance on a Carnival float today. Clearly in relaxation mode, she went make-up free and wore her hair in natural waves for her sun-tanning session.

And before her performance on a giant float today, Gisele sat on the sidelines, watching the procession continue from the privacy of a balcony with Tom, family and friends. Sitting on her husband's lap, she looked loved up as the couple couldn't control their PDA's by kissing and cuddling throughout the procession. The supermodel also sipped on coconut water and wore a short floaty floral dress that once again flaunted her long tanned legs.

Later, in a bottom-skimming gold dress she performed the samba on a giant float in Rio De Janeiro's famous Sambadrome. The world's highest paid model was proudly watched from the audience by Brady and fellow celebrities Jude Law and Pamela Anderson. Joining Gisele on the float was her mother Valdir and sisters-in-law Nancy and Julie Brady, who took some last minute samba lessons the day before.

The four women took part in the Vila Isabel Samba School's float, which had the theme 'hair'.Discussing the theme on her Twitter page, Gisele enthused: 'Women love hair and hair helps give personality to people. I think this theme is super cool.'

But New England Patriots quarterback Brady couldn't get too involved with the festivities because he's recovering from an operation on his right foot. After her performance, the model changed into a white T-shirt by one of the Carnival's sponsors Pantene and joined Brady and her friends and family.

With Brady out of action, Bundchen grabbed a female friend and started dancing as she clutched a carton of coconut water. In between dancing, she managed to find the time for some public kissing with her husband of two years.

The model, who has a 15-month-old son Benjamin, had been Tweeting frantically in the run up to the big day. She admitted she had been listening to the song and learning the words in anticipation of her performance.






















After her float performance, Gisele enjoyed a kiss with Tom and then took to the floor and danced with a friend


She wrote: 'We are taking a Samba class with a Samba dancer from the Vila Isabel Samba School. She has been dancing since she was six years old. 'I'm going to do my best and see if I can do this. OK, here we go.' Gisele attends carnival every year, but usually just enjoys the dancing from the stands.

She enthused: 'Carnival is very important to Brazil and is known around the world for being the ultimate joy filled celebration... 'I think the rest of the world has no idea of the involvement. It takes so much dedication and care from everyone who works on it..'

Elen Rives shows off those curves in another tiny bikini in Ibiza

It's been four months since she split from her footballer beau Frank Lampard and Elen Rives looks determined to prove she has already moved on. The 34-year-old former model looked in her element as she splashed about in her tiny white bikini on a family holiday in Ibiza. Looking tanned and toned, Elen certainly showed her ex what he was missing.




Look what you're missing! Frank Lampard's ex, Elen Rives, gets into the swing of things as she shows off her bikini body on a holiday with their two children Luna,three, and Isla, 23 months and some friends in Ibiza
Elen, who was enjoying the sunshine break with her and Frank's two children Luna, three, and Isla, 23 months, and some family friends, didn't seem to have a care in the world much less to be nursing a broken heart. But it's perhaps because the former WAG has been getting her fair share of attention since splitting with the 31-year-old Chelsea star in March.




Former WAG Elen is clearly not one to mope around nursing a broken heart

She was spotted out on the town with two different men in the past month. First there was 21-year-old Stevenage FC player Lawrie Wilson. At the beginning of June, Elen and Lawrie enjoyed a night out in London stopping for cocktails at the Soho House private members' club before spending the night together at the upmarket Sanderson hotel.





Elen has been pictured out on dates with two eligible men in the past month


Then the week before last, she was seen out in London's West End again with a chic-looking unidentified man - thought to be a city banker. Earlier this year, Frank was linked to socialite and model Saskia Boxford but the footballer insisted they were just good friends.





Despite showing a united front on a night out in February, Elen and Frank are stony faced. They split a month later
