Now happily ensconced in wedded bliss, tennis ace Roger Federer and his new bride Mirka can attend to the business at hand — choosing a name for their baby-on-the-way — which is a boy, Roger reveals! Speaking at a press conference in Monte Carlo, Roger admitted that it’s a daunting task. “You know, we’ll see,” he mused. “There’s quite a few books around that are that thick, so we’ll see where it takes us.”

“But, no, we haven’t decided anything yet. I have no clue right now myself. Thank God we have time left to decide.”

Speaking of their wedding day, while it was quickly assembled it wasn’t exactly unplanned, either. “We’ve been talking about it for many years now,” the 27-year-old former World No. 1 reveals. “Basically 95% of the people we invited could come, so they changed their schedules around for us.”

“Everything really worked out really well for us, otherwise we would have waited and done it maybe one month down the road, or maybe one year down the road. But everything worked out for this last weekend.”

Roger and Mirka’s son — the first child for both — is due this summer.

Rafael van der Vaart believes that the pressure is now on Barcelona at the top of La Primera after Real Madrid closed the gap to four points at the weekend.

The Catalans slipped up against Valencia on Saturday evening before Madrid completed a superb comeback against Sevilla on Sunday to chop two points off their lead.

Now, the decisive game of the season appears to be next weekend, when Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Bernabeu.

Speaking to his official website, Van Der Vaart recognised that whilst Barcelona looked clear favourites to win the title a while ago, the pressure is now on them.

"It was a perfect result for us ahead of next weekend's game against Barcelona. We are only four points behind, and while Barcelona five months ago almost looked destined to win the title,things are really heating up now," he explained.

"The pressure is on Barcelona now, but we must continue to work hard if we want to win the title, and still have to get three points on Saturday."

The game between Madrid and Barcelona takes place this Saturday evening at 20:00 CET in the Bernabeu.

LONDON (AP) — Dinara Safina officially took over the top ranking on the WTA Tour on Monday, making her and older sibling Marat Safin the only brother-sister duo to have been No. 1 in professional tennis.

Safina, who has yet to win a Grand Slam title but twice reached a major final, is the 19th woman to top the rankings since they were introduced in 1975. She is also only the second Russian woman after Maria Sharapova to reach No. 1.

Safina replaced Serena Williams at the top, even though the American beat her in the Australian Open final this year. Last year, Safina lost to Ana Ivanovic in the French Open final.

Marat Safin was ranked No. 1 on the men's tour in 2000, the same year he won the first of two Grand Slam singles titles.

"He has two Grand Slams," Safina said of her brother in a video posted on the WTA's Web site. "He's still much better than me, so I have to catch him."

Safina won four titles last year.

E:60 Maria Sharapova and Matt Stafford Preview from ESPN Communications on Vimeo.

Clearly Maria LOVES this glamorous photoshoot thing, but she seemed to forget about uncomfortable Matt.
Poor Matt.

 It's refreshing how she chose to ditch the skimpy tennis dresses. It's ridicolous how women are always less covered than men in any sport. Especially volleyball! >.<

I miss his impersonations. 

Apparently, The Gladiator appeals to tennis players. hmm..

and Roger: Dirty Dancing? wow.

Federer, is that you?  III_III  

a much better comercial to recover:

Federerlost 4-6 5-7 against his Swiss friend, Wawrinka in Monte Carlo. *yawn*

It was a bittersweet victory for the friend of Fed, however:

I am a bit embarrassed to celebrate it. I believe [Federer] hadn't found his rhythm on clay and he made many errors.

Seems like Roger is still thinking of the moment Mirka said "I do."  T.T WAKE UP, MISTER.

IS: The Baeksang Arts Awards fall (referring to Min-ho tripping on the Red Carpet) was a hot topic. 

LMH: Yeah what a silly mistake and I was embarrassed. But my fans did cheer me on and I could see the love of the fans.

IS: What is your motto in life? 

LMH: Not to give up on my goals. Victory is not as important as possessing a fighting spirit. My motto is to not give up even if I fail. I think to have that attitude is just beautiful. 

IS: What was the biggest crisis in your life to date? 

LMH: There was this traffic accident in 2006. I had to stay in the hospital for 6 months. At first I was frustrated and I couldn't even walk. But I am glad I overcame that.

IS: How do you relieve stress?

LMH: Just sleep. Sleep until the stress disappears. I have slept for 24 hours previously. (Ha ha ha...Orchid likes this! I could sleep all day too!) 

IS: What's your sleeping habit like?

LMH: I grind my teeth and talk in my sleep, which is why my pals don't want to sleep with me when we travel.

IS: When and where was your first kiss? 

LMH: It was when I was a freshman in high school. I kissed my girlfriend, standing right in front of her house. 

IS: What do you think most women want as a gift? 

LMH: If I had a girlfriend, that would be good. Women want you to be their best friend. That's the best gift of all.

IS: When was the last time you dated and had a girlfriend? 

LMH: When I was 20. I haven't had a girlfriend since University. 

IS: What is your ideal type of woman?

LMH: I think more of her overall style and my feeling toward her than her appearance.
I'm drawn to a woman, although not pretty, that appeals to my feeling strongly. 

IS: If you had a lover, which term of endearment would you use to call her? 

LMH: It depends on the style of the woman (literal translation. But i guess he means the term of endearment he will use depends on what kind of woman she is. There is no fixed term for all.)

IS: What if your parents were against your marriage -- like in the character Gu Jun-pyo? 

LMH: We will run away and elope. 

IS: Which actress would you like to work with in future? 

LMH: Song Hye-kyo sunbae. She is elegant and classy and has loads of charisma and possesses excellent acting skills. Should I get a chance to work with her, I would be able to learn a lot and no doubt be very nervous. (Ahem...sounds like he has a crush on Song Hye-kyo.) 

IS: Person whom you most want to meet? 

LMH: I want to meet Hollywood actor Edward Norton. He has a laid back, comfortable charisma that is so impressive. When I meet him, I will ask "Will you teach me how?" But I must brush up on my English first.

IS: Who is your favourite sports star? 

LMH: Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. It was my dream in elementary school to become a professional soccer player. If I continued to play football, I hope to be a player like Cristiano Ronaldo now. 

IS: What's your favourite food and what dish do you cook well?

LMH: I like meat. Recipe? Just roast it. I have a secret roasting process. Beef, pork or chicken, I use the same recipe. 

IS: What is your #18 karaoke song? (The song you sing all the time at karaokes)

LMH: Toy's 내가 잠시 너의 곁에 살았다는 걸 

IS: What do you always carry in your bag? 

LMH: Cologne / Perfume. I always like to smell nice. 

IS: What is your favourite drink? 

LMH: I usually don't drink alcohol. Three cups of soju is my limit. I like hard liquor. 

IS: Do you have a jinx or habit? 

LMH: Whenever I'm in a drama or movie, I injure myself. I have to be extra careful. 

IS: What three things would you bring to a desert island? 

LMH: A bed, lighter and my mobile phone. Having a nice bed to sleep on would be good (yes! i agree with this!!). On a deserted island, your food should be cooked - hence the lighter. I could cook fish. I would be so bored on a deserted island that I would play with all the games I downloaded to my mobile phone. 

IS: What do you envy of your F4 members? 

LMH: Kim Bum's small face, Kim Joon's big eyes, Kim Hyun-joong's fair complexion. As for the whole package, I am actually the best. (ha ha ha)

IS: The So Yi-jung of Boys Before Flowers seems to be a smooth playboy - a ladies' man. 

KB: Thank you for the compliment but in real life, I am quite different. I am shy and do not mingle easily with people, much less attract beautiful women. 

IS: Do you have a girlfriend? 

KB: I've never had a girlfriend. I have been always too involved in something or other and have not found a girlfriend. 

IS: If you had a girlfriend, what would you like her to do for you? 

KB: I would like her to cook for me and pack me a nice lunch box. During my busy shooting schedule, I often have to skip a meal. When that happens, I could eat the lunch box my girlfriend has lovingly prepared for me. (Sounds like the way to Kim Bum's heart is through his stomach :-) Hear that girls?) 

IS: Who is #1 on your mobile phone speed dial? 

KB: I believe it's a "hyung" (elder brother/senior) from my agency whom I call for support. When I have a girlfriend, I would probably change her number to be #1 on my speed dial then.

IS: What would you do if your parents oppose marriage to your chosen one -- much like Boys Before Flowers' Gu Jun-pyo's situation? 

KB: If I do not get married to the one I love because of the opposition of those around me, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I will persuade my parent's for their blessing. 

IS: What is your motto in life?

KB: Making a mistake once is alright, but don't make it twice. As you live life, you may experience failures and you may make mistakes. However, I do not want to encounter the same defeat from making the same mistake again. It means that although a person can't be perfect, he/she should try his/her best to come close to perfection.

IS: What is your biggest crisis in life to date? 

KB: I don't think I have experienced any extra ordinary crisis in my life. I have worked hard to overcome certain things, but I do not consider them crisis in my life.

IS: Do you want to be a tycoon like your character in Boys Before Flowers? 

KB: I do not want to be a tycoon, although I am always keen to achieve, and to live out my dream. 

IS: Favourite Internet sites? 

KB: Daum, Naver and other portal sites because news and information can be obtained very quickly.

IS: What do you always carry in your bag? 

KB: Mobile phone and wallet. 

IS: Do you have a jinx or habit? 

KB: The day before the first day of shooting the drama I could not sleep. However, when morning comes, I go to the set in good spirits and get the job done. The next night, if I don't get to sleep again, my condition worsens.

IS: When you feel stressed how do you solve it? 

KB: When I am stressed, I look for my friends. I get de-stressed when I hang out with them, laughing and talking.

IS: Who is your favourite sports star?

KB: Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. 

IS: What three things would you bring to a desert island? 

KB: Game consoles, DVD player and cell phone. I could watch movies with the DVD player and enjoy the island in between playing games on my console. Why would I bring a cell phone to a deserted island? I saw a CF once where the mobile phone was used to call for a Jjajangmyeon delivery.
(Kim Bum's answer sounds 바보 to me. Game console and DVD player with no TV?) 

IS: If you have a completely free day, what would you do? 

KB: I would like to go somewhere to clear my head and unwind.

Kim confessed that he is not as gentle or tender as his character Ji Hoo. What he looks for in a girlfriend? "I wish my girlfriend was someone just like a friend, whom I would feel comfortable with."

Hyun-joong is also the leader of the group SS501.





IS: Who do you want to meet most in the world? 

Of course Seo Taiji. When i was a child, I listened to a variety of foreign music and I liked the rock genre. The top song when I was in school was Seo Taiji and Boys' "Nan-arayo" ( 난 알아요). Then when I heard "Ultramania", I decided to become a singer. I have a lot of respect for Seo Taiji.

IS: Do you have any talent you've been polishing since the school days?

I played bass guitar in a band when I was in high school. I can play it quite well. I enjoy expressing it by playing guitar when I get a musical idea. I would spend whole day to search for rare guitars when I was visiting Japan. I love the guitar.

IS: Do you have any places you want to travel to? Who with?

I have friends whom I've been growing up with in the same town. I've spent most of my life with them. I fear nothing when I'm with them. I want to travel to space with them and challenge the limit of our lives. Does that sound like nonsense? (Err...it kinda does)

IS: Who is number one on your mobile phone speed dial? 

I have a bad memory and my mobile phone directory stores my important numbers but I don't use the speed dial.

IS: What do you always carry in your bag? 

An extra pair of contact lens, eye drops and a shaver. Also an extra pair of underwear and socks just in case we end up shooting all night. 

IS: Which actress would you like to work with? 

Lee Hyo-ri (noona). Before I made a debut as a singer, she was my dream girl. Hyori is my senior and gave me lots of valuable advice. She is such an inspiration to me. 

IS: What is your motto in life?

You only have one chance in life, live hard and earn fame. Help the poor and be respected.

IS: What's the difference before and after F4?

The age range of people who recognise me became various. The character Ji Hoo seemed to give me a chance to produce another Kim Hyun Joong.

IS: Have you ever posted any opinion under Internet news articles (about youself)?

I try not to read bad posts (about me). I would read what people write about me on my fan page and write my opinions as well. Sometimes I reveal myself and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I write really harsh reports on myself to push myself. I visit Daum the most.

IS: Do you have a bad habit or jinx? 

No jinx. Habit perhaps? When I am stressed, I like to go on fishing trips or listen to music. 

IS: What if your parents were against your marriage -- like in the character Gu Jun-pyo? 

I will try to persuade my parents, that I am responsible enough to make the decision. 

Where and with whom do you like to drink with?

I drink a lot. Soju. Anywhere (the place is not important). I drink with my band mates and friends. A simple stall by the street is good enough. I like my soju with pork and kimchi. 

IS: What was the biggest crisis in your life to date?

It was when I was in the MBC TV show We've Got Married. We went to film at Halla Mountain (Halla San) at Jeju Island. We took 5 hours to climb up the mountain and 2 hours to get down. I didn't go easy but went on briskly. I ran down for 2 hours without a break. Finally, when we reached the bottom and it was time for an interview at the hotel, I had no energy left and fainted. 

IS: What would you do if you won ₩ 10,000,000,000 in the lottery? 

₩ 5,000,000,000 to parents. ₩ 1,000,000,000 to my boss Lee Ho-yeon of DSP Entertainment. 20% to needy neighbours, 20% to share with friends. 

IS: Do you have any skin care secrets? 

My dermatologist takes care of my skin very well. That's my honest answer. Ha ha. I will always try to clean my skin properly.

IS: What is your sleeping habit?

I sleep in only my underwear. I can't endure wearing anything more because I am afraid of the heat. I like the feeling of the blanket next to my skin and only wear my underwear to bed. 

IS: When did you last date and how old were you? 

We split up just before I made my debut (in SS501). Ha Ha.

IS: What would you call your girlfriend if you have one?

I would just call her name. I'm not as gentle or tender as Ji Hoo. I wish my girlfriend was someone just like a friend, who I would feel comfortable with.

IS: What do you want to receive from your girlfriend? 

Actually, I would be more comfortable giving than receiving. Even if I have something I want, I won't tell her and I would just buy it myself. I would give anything from me to the most precious one.

IS: What do you envy of your F4 members? 

Min-ho's height, Bum's maturity and Joon's personality? 

IS: What is the best fortune of your life so far?

The fact that I have friends who I've been with since primary school, and that I'm a member of SS501.

IS: If you have a completely free day, what would you do? 

I just want to sleep all day. 

IS: Who manages your income? 

Since I was a child and started off with part-time jobs, I have been managing my own income. My parents trust me.

25 year-old Kim Joon plays Song Woo-bin in Boys Before Flowers. Kim Joon has been called a "junior Jang Dong-gun" because of his looks and has great potential as an actor. This is his first acting role and he is already hooked on acting. He is also a member of the band T-MAX. 

IS: Person whom you want to meet the most?

KJ: Since young, I have always wanted to meet Seo Taiji. He has been my idol since childhood days. When I was in elementary school, he was the face of the leading music then. Now, 17 years after his debut album, he is still active in the music scene and I have a lot of respect for that.

IS: Who is your favourite sports star? 

KJ: Michael Jordan. I loved watching him during NBA Basketball mania. Michael Jordan - the name itself is a strong force. 

IS: What is your life motto? 

KJ: "Just do the best you can", that is my motto.

IS: What's the difference after being one of F4?

KJ: People see me differently. Maybe people who I used to know see me differently now and also the people I get to know newly. Ajummas would give cheers at me when I go to a restaurant and I feel that I'm being taken care of a lot since the drama became really popular.

IS: What would you do if you won ₩ 10,000,000,000 in the lottery? 

KJ: I would put it in savings. When a lot of money comes to me at one time, I would plan how to use it carefully to avoid bitterness in the future.

IS: What do you envy of your F4 members? 

KJ: I envy their vast experience at such a young age. The other F4 members are younger than me, yet I am the one who's the rookie (in the entertainment industry). Their careers have gone off to a great start.

IS: Do you have any talent or skill you can show in front of people?

KJ: I rap in T-MAX so rapping is the thing I'm confident of. I used to like dancing when I was younger but I don't think I dance better than others. I like rapping because I can express myself when I create it or write lyrics. You can do it with melody but doing it with lyrics is more fascinating.

IS: Favourite Internet site?

KJ: I enjoy surfing the net, but I don't have a favourite site. However, I like to check up on Boys Before Flowers articles and related articles. (Yeah, he is curious to see what is written about him.) 

IS: What if you become a tycoon like your character in the drama.

KJ: I would see how much I have in my bank account. I would feel contented when I see the numbers and think 'I have this much'. Actually I wonder whether those tycoons would check how much money they have.

IS: The best luck you had in your life?

KJ: When I debuted as a singer in the group T-MAX. That was a big break for me. 

IS: What was the biggest crisis in your life? 

KJ: The time when I was preparing to debut as a singer was the darkest years of my life. The waiting, challenges I faced and uncertainty was difficult.

IS: Which actress would you love to work with?

KJ: I'm still a beginning actor so I haven't really thought about which actress I want to act with. I just feel joyful that I have been so lucky at the start of my acting career.

IS: How much do you drink and who do you drink with?

KJ: I can drink about a bottle of Soju. I normally drink with other guys of T-MAX, who I've gone through hard times with.

IS: What do you always carry in your bag?

KJ: These days my phone is the most important item. But to think about it, the wallet is probably more important.

IS: How do you relieve stress? 

KJ: I de-stress by emitting a sound like a great roar. When I was playing sports as a child, we used to do this before starting a game. So the roaring has become a habit. Sometimes it's just fun to let out a ROAR! 

IS: What three things would you bring to a desert island? 

KJ: Cell phone, mp3 player and lots of water! I would like to be able to contact others, listen to the music I like and keep my throat moist.

IS: If you have a completely free day, what would you do? 

KJ: I want to sleep. We don't get enough sleep while shooting the drama.

IS: How do you manage your income?

KJ: My parents do. I have little to spend money on nowadays since my schedule is so hectic that I hardly get any pocket money.

Actress Goo Hye Sun expressed her sadness at the conclusion of “Boys Over Flowers”

In a recent interview Goo Hye Sun stated, “I would like to be in the second season of ‘Boys Over Flowers’. To me, it was an honor to be in a drama like ‘Boys Over Flowers’.”

She explained, “As far as I know, there will be no season 2 of. But that drama has left me so much that I would love to be in a second season if the opportunity came.” 

“When will I ever get to be in a drama like this again? Honestly, if they gave me a little more time to sleep, I would wish that the drama never ended. That’s how special it is to me. If a season 2 does go into production, I would like another chance to work with the people that have worked so hard.”

Q : If you were... a person you hope to meet?

A : Roger Federer. When I was young, I always had this dream : I was at the bottom of a huge mountain and I was looking at the top. When I beat Roger Federer in January, in Melbourne, in the final of the Australian Open, I felt an animal excitement. But afterwards, I felt an emptiness and a loneliness indescribable. As if I had no more aim/no more purpose. To me, Federer is still the number 1 in the world. I want to meet him again on court. I know he can beat me.

The announcement was made via his website:

Dear Fans

Earlier today, in my hometown of Basel, surrounded by a small group of close friends and family, Mirka and I got married. It was a beautiful spring day and an incredibly joyous occasion.

Mr. and Mrs. Roger Federer wish all of you a Happy Easter weekend.

Love,
Roger
