The Korean automaker Kia has officially released details about the next generation Sportage SUV, the 2011 Kia Sportage. Sharing the same platform with its compatriot, the Hyundai ix35, the 2010 Sportage looks to have the leg-up on the ix35 in terms of being a little bigger and wider, which should translate into having a roomier interior.

The design for the new Sportage also seems to have benefitted from the supervision of Peter Schreyer, whose previous design work with Audi has seemingly translated into some of the aesthetic design cues that can be noticed in the new Sportage, including sharper curves, and a completely revamped front end that previous Sportage models didn’t come in.

Featuring a fresh, bold, athletic and sporty design; longer, lower and wider than the previous generation model, the new Sportage will offer more space for people and cargo, with improved ride quality thanks to the longer wheelbase; the new Sportage went on sale in mid 2010, with a choice of both diesel and gasoline engines following its debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show.

I hope you like this terrific car as much as I do. I fancy it so much that I've just bought myself one ;-)

A deserved star for the Canadian star

Grammy-winning Canadian singer Bryan Adams was honored with a star on Hollywood's storied Walk of Fame on Monday".

The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched. Today, I'm humbled at the induction of my name. It's fantastic," he added. Adams was born in Ontario, but spent much of his youth in England, Israel, Portugal and Austria, following his father's postings(he was a diplomat).

He hit the big time in 1983 with his third album "Cut Like a Knife," while his other hits have included "Summer of '69," "Run to You," and "Let's Make It A Night to Remember." The singer -- who is currently on tour, including a concert in Los Angeles on April 9 -- won a Grammy Award for "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," from the 1991 movie "Robin Hood -- Prince of Thieves".

Struggling to be the fittest

The Take That singers are both trying to shift the pounds after piling on weight since Christmas and Robbie is determined to lose more than his bandmate after learning he is starting a new eating plan.

The 'Angels' singer told The Sun newspaper: "Me and Gary vary in weight. We go up and down by the week.

"Gary and the boys were at my house in Los Angeles last week when Gary turns to me and says, 'I won't be needing these clothes soon, do you want them?' - because he's going on a diet.

"That was the day I thought, 'Right, if you're eating a lettuce, I'm eating half a lettuce.' "

The 37-year-old star has joked his weight loss ambition is to match Christian Bale's size in 'The Machinist' - a role which saw the British actor lose 60lbs by eating just a can of tuna and an apple a day.

He joked: "There is now a serious game on to see who can get the thinnest for the tour.

"You know 'The Machinist' with Christian Bale? I'm going for Christian Bale."

Despite Robbie's joke, the 'Kidz' hitmakers actually intend to get in shape healthily, with both of them working out with their own personal trainers.

They are also sharing a nutritionist called Jasmine who will work with them every day until Take That's 'Progress Live' tour starts in May.

'Flash' wins custody of his kids

"Heat guard Dwyane Wade recently won custody of his two children, ending a long court battle. On Friday, Wade's sons, Zaire and Zion, arrived in Miami. They previously lived in Chicago with Wade's ex-wife, Siohvaughn.

Wade said that it was a "huge weight" off his back. "My life changed in a huge way,". "Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it's bigger than that.

For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids' lives sometimes. You fight until you can't fight any more. That's all I was trying to be, a father in his kids' lives."



Wade and his ex-wife separated in August of 2007.

'The Boy Wonder' could leave 'The Red Devils'

The relationship between Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and striker Wayne Rooney has deteriorated again, with media reports suggesting the 25-year-old could be on his way out of Old Trafford.

The England striker almost left the club in October last year only to have a last-minute change of heart and sign a lucrative long-term contract.

But the new deal has done nothing to ease the strain on Rooney's relationship with Ferguson, with News of the World quoting a United insider as saying the situation has reached breaking point.

"Rooney has been moaning about the squad again, but Sir Alex has told him he should look at himself first before criticising others," the insider told NOTW.

"Sir Alex is not pleased with the way Rooney has been playing."

Formula 1: Ferrari's preseason

Formula One's preseason testing came to a close on Saturday in a rain-soaked practice session at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. But Ferrari's Fernando Alonso said he believes the Italian team is as ready as it will ever be for the season's first race in Melbourne, Australia.

“Overall, I think we will arrive in Melbourne in a hundred percent state of readiness, but whether or not that will be enough to win, we will not know until we are there in Australia,” said Alonso. “I feel confident, just as I did last year going into the start of the season.”

Ferrari only participated in the morning half of Saturday's test session because of the heavy rain. The Spanish driver only completed five laps, according to Ferrari. But the team closes winter testing after having accumulated the most laps overall.
