Usain Bolt this night won the 100m men's final, setting an Olympic record time of 9.63. Usain is actually the first sprinter to defend the 100m title on the track. Carl Lewis won in 1984 but got the 1988 gold after Ben Johnson was stripped of his title. He's officially a legend :-)

Mario Balotelli demands paternity test from pregnant ex-girlfriend

Going by a press statement just released by Mario Balotelli, it seems his four months pregnant ex-girlfriend, Rafaella Fico, 27, lied when she told the press earlier this week that the 21 year old footballer was delighted about being a dad and that they might reconcile for the sake of their unborn child. Not only is Mario claiming he didn't know about the pregnancy until she went to the press, he has also rubbished Raffaela's claims of a reunion and is demanding a paternity test to establish if he really is the father.

His somewhat angry press statement when you continue...

Arsenal Football Club has announced it is reluctantly postponing its proposed trip to Nigeria this summer. The Club has taken the decision as a result of complexities linked to the planned game against Nigeria on Saturday, August 5 in Abuja.

Arsenal marketing director Angus Kinnear said: "Bringing a top-level club to an international market is always complicated and logistically challenging. With the proposed match in Nigeria planned for early August, we could not get comfortable on everything needed to satisfy our requirements, so we have reluctantly taken the decision to postpone the team’s visit."

The actress has revealed that her new husband is actually American from New York and not from Puerto Rico like we all thought. Too cute!
