Ronaldo Celebrated Imminent Move to Real Madrid withParis Hilton

Champagne-swilling Cristiano Ronaldo and Paris Hilton got down and dirty as they teamed up to celebrate the soccer ace's $131 million transfer.

The winking winger, 24, kissed and cuddled the 28-year-old socialite in a Hollywood club before they headed to her sister's home.

Ronaldo's move from Manchester United to Real Madrid sets a new world record.

A clubber who witnessed their frolicking said: "They were sucking each other's faces off like their plane was going down.

"At one point Ronaldo had a bottle between his legs and Paris was stroking it. It was very racy."

After sharing steamy cuddles and expensive champagne for two hours, Paris headed to sister Nicky's home in the Hollywood Hills at 2.05 a.m.

Ronaldo, 24, joined her there an hour later after a brief stopover at his hotel.

He left at 5 a.m. with a broad grin plastered across his face.

Cristiano Ronaldo Wins the Golden Ball

When Cristiano Ronaldo said he was option 1, 2 and 3 for the Golden Ball award, he wasn't being cheeky; he was almost right. The Manchester United star won the European Footballer of the Year today in a vote so lopsided Barack Obama would've said daaaaaaamn.

Ronaldo _ the fourth Red Devil to win, and first since George Best in 1968 _ got 446 points, with Barcelona forward Lionel Messi (281) and Liverpool forward Fernando Torres (179) combining for just 460.

"It's one of the greatest days of my life. Winning this trophy ... I dreamed about it as a kid. Those who know me, who live with me, know that this is finally a dream come true for me,'' Ronaldo said in France Football. "I am only 23 and it's magnificent. Unbelievable. It's even better considering all the big names in contention this year. Lionel Messi is second and Fernando Torres is third, but also Xavi (Hernandez, in fifth place)."

Of course, now we'll still have to hear all about Ronaldo-to-Real rumors starting up again soon, but for the moment the best player on the planet resides in rainy northern England. What do you think of CR7 addiing the Ballon d'Or award to his FIFPro World Player of the Year trophy, his Professional Footballers Association and his Football Writers awards?

Cristiano Ronaldo Named FIFPro World Player of the Year

Manchester United and Portugal goal ace Cristiano Ronaldo was named FIFPro World Player of the Year on Tuesday.

The international players' union, which has 57,500 members, announced on Monday that the Manchester United winger, who scored 42 goals last season when the Red Devils won both the Champions League and Premier League, had topped their poll. The honour, voted by professional footballers from all over the world, was widely expected to be awarded to the winger after he scored 42 goals for United last season.

"To be recognised by my fellow professional players worldwide coming from over 50,000 players is amazing," the 23-year-old, who beat 54 other world class players to the title said. "I would like to thank my teammates and coaches and everyone involved at Man United and the national team, as well as my family and friends for their support," Ronaldo said. "Thank you also to FIFPro for this award and for your work in protecting the interests and welfare of players around the world."

Ronaldo was also named in the FifPro team alongside United team-mate Rio Ferdinand.

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Chelsea and England captain John Terry also made the team, as did AC Milan's midfielder Kaka and Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo, who helped his club to a Premier League and Champions League double last season, is also a strong contender to win the FIFA World Player of the Year award and the Ballon d'Or.

Manchester United 2-0 Bolton Wanderers

Manchester United gained their first Premier League home win of the season with a 2-0 defeat of Bolton that left their neighbours nursing a sense of injustice.

Cristiano Ronaldo's opener left a sour taste for the Trotters as referee Rob Styles gave the hosts a penalty after Jlloyd Samuel played the ball when he slid into Ronaldo just before the hour mark.

Substitute Wayne Rooney also found the net for the first time this season, curling home after exchanging passes with Ronaldo. Bolton boss Gary Megson will know his side were frustrating their hosts until Styles' intervention.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson started with Rooney on the bench and Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez up front, but - while Tevez and Berbatov tried hard - there was no sense of a partnership between them.

The only time they were involved in anything meaningful was when they helped set up Rio Ferdinand. But the centre-half bounced his half-volley straight at Jaaskelainen.

Bolton's Fabrice Muamba was presented with the best opportunity either side had to break the first-half deadlock. He ought to have forced Edwin van der Sar into a save when Gretar Rafn Steinsson's low cross rolled into his path after Ferdinand had slid in with Kevin Davies at the near post.

But from 10 yards, the England Under-21 international was so off target his shot nearly rolled out for a throw-in.

Ferguson must have felt a bit sheepish when Styles watched Samuel what looked a perfectly timed tackle on Ronaldo, then pointed to the spot. Ronaldo stepped up and sent Jaaskelainen the wrong way.

The introduction of Rooney and Paul Scholes came not long afterwards and Rooney curled a shot into the bottom corner after a neat exchange of passes with Ronaldo 13 minutes from time.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo Ready to Lift United?

CRISTIANO Ronaldo is ready to mount his white charger and come to United's early season rescue.

Last season his 32 league goals were hugely influential as United outscored the Premier League and became champions.

Without him as he recovered from his summer ankle surgery nobody has scored fewer than the Reds in the opening matches.

Three goals from three games sees United needing an urgent injection of attacking power.

The Portuguese winger could be back on Wednesday against Villarreal at Old Trafford as United open the defence of the Champions League.

If the clash with the Spaniards is too early then a comeback could come against Chelsea - the Premier side he last faced - at Stamford Bridge next Sunday.

And that second instalment of the back-to-back heavyweight clashes is a perfect pick-me-up following Saturday's disappointment surrender in the 2-1 defeat at Liverpool according to captain Rio Ferdinand.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is in a Good Position to Win it" - Zinedine Zidane

Holder of the world's largest transfer fee Zinedine Zidane picked up plentiful individual awards during his playing days and believes Cristiano Ronaldo is set to do the same.

Zidane, who was awarded the Fifa World Player of the Year on three separate occasions, has backed Ronaldo to pick up the first of his this year for his 42-goal return last season.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is in a good position to win it," Zidane is quoted by Setanta Sports as saying.

"Then, it’s a question of feeling. When I was playing, some preferred Zidane to Ronaldo and vice-versa... As far as I’m concerned, Cristiano Ronaldo has an edge regarding the whole season," he concluded.

Ronaldo was recently rewarded with the Uefa Player of the Year award for his performances in last season's Champions League. He also scored the opening goal in the European final in Moscow.

Manchester United Gets Cristiano Ronaldo For One More Year

Manchester United fans can look forward to watching Cristiano Ronaldo for at least another year. Sir Alex Ferguson welcomed Cristiano Ronaldo back to Manchester United yesterday and then raised the possibility of the Portugal forward agreeing a new contract at Old Trafford before the season begins next weekend.

After declaring in an interview this week that he would be staying at United for at least another season, Ronaldo made a point of reiterating his wish “one day” to play for Real and be closer to his family in Portugal. Ferguson dismissed suggestions that Ronaldo's motivation may be adversely affected by being denied his dream move and claimed that, with time, the Portuguese will increasingly value his career at Old Trafford.

But while the Spanish champions are unlikely to concede defeat in their efforts to sign Ronaldo — many believe a transfer has simply been delayed by 12 months in the wake of Ferguson’s refusal to sell — the United manager feels that the longer the 23-year-old stays at the club, the more he will realise that the grass is not greener elsewhere and that there is no better place to play his football.

United have kept to their promise not to improve the five-year, £120,000-a-week contract that Ronaldo signed in April 2007, but it will be in their interest to have secured the prized asset on a new deal before the start of the 2009-10 campaign.
