A raw-food revolution is under way - and celebs are leading the way. "[Stade de France] has been built for football and not for athletics and even though they had the World Athletics Championships there in the last couple of years they still have sight line [viewing] problems." Rod Sheard, who has designed London's proposed stadium, said: "Paris is a wonderful stadium and I like going there to watch rugby But unfortunately rugby is not an Olympic sport. Liverpool, despite the £20m earned in the Champions' League, do not have the money to compete with Chelsea or Manchester United domestically. Bridging the gap on the ?te has never been more difficult for Liverpool. It is a task that requires the patience and time Gerrard feels he has not got, and one that £32m will go a long way towards helping Above money? No one, not even Steven Gerrard, ever is..

And now his legs are so bony he's got to cover them in pirate pants!* BEST-DRESSED PLAYERJoint award to Maria Sharapova for looking good in gold, and to Venus, who for some reason made me think back to Annie White Maria is one slick girl. John doesn't wear tank-tops at the US Open any more because of his skinny arms. And Andy Roddick trying to beat Federer by hitting through his legs and then being self-effacing, gracious and humorous afterwards is a contender. But I'll go for John McEnroe dressed in long knickers at his veterans' match. It's never too late to have goals, be tenacious and work hard to reach them.* FUNNIEST MOMENTI was told an American guy tried to get into Centre Court by showing a sheriff's badge It didn't work.
