New 'Transformers 3' Star: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Photo by Kevin Mazur, WireImageLast month it was announced that Megan Fox would not be returning for the third "Transformers" movie. Naturally, her departure raised the question of who would replace her as Shia LaBeouf's romantic interest in the film.

On Wednesday, after a week of speculation, it was officially revealed on director Michael Bay' blog that British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been cast in the film. The announcement (which misspells her last name) states, "she's the new female lead in Transformers 3."

Huntington-Whiteley previously worked with Michael Bay in a commercial he directed for Victoria's Secret, but she has no other acting credits to her name. She has appeared on the past four installments of the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show," and was a guest on "Britain's Next Top Model." She's also reportedly dating "Transporter" star Jason Statham.

Filming has already begun on "Transformers 3" in Los Angeles, according to the LA Times, and will continue across the globe over the next 4 1/2 months. The movie is scheduled to open on July 1, 2011. To see more of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, click ahead for photos of her on the red carpet.

Irina Shayk

The boy moves faster with women than he does on the pitch now word is out Cristiano Ronaldo is dating the very hot model Irina Shayk.

After winning the 2004 “Miss Chelyabinsk” beauty pageant, a scout recommended Shayk pursue a career as a model, and in 2005 she moved to Paris. In 2007 she took over for Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros as the face of Intimissimi you can understand why.

She gained fame very quickly and worked that magic body to full effect in Sports Illustrated she did back in 2009 well worth looking! (just make sure its lunchtime at work).

10 places where women want to be touched

Forget a woman’s cleavage, there are more erogenous spots that you can explore to get your lady sexcited. Read on to discover her ten most sensuous body parts.

What guys often mistake is that they go straight for the woman’s breasts or other private parts, without concentrating on her nine other moan zones.

So, if you want to get your girl into the mood, stimulate some of her often-neglected body parts.

Tresses

All guys like women with gorgeous locks. But what you need to know is that women love being touched on their head. It’s quite a stress reliever.
Running your hands sensuously through her tresses is likely to send shivers down her spine. Massage her temples to the nape of her neck and she'll be game to your desires.

Nape of her neck

In ancient Japan, the back of a woman’s neck was considered extremely attractive by men as it was one of the few zones that were not covered by the elaborate kimono.
Today, very few men focus on the nape of the neck, but we suggest you build up the pleasure by gentle touching and kissing your lady love from her hairline down to her shoulders. It will make her reach dizzying heights of pleasure.

Collar bone

A well-defined collarbone is what men find irresistible. So, why not touch and kiss her there. Unbutton her shirt just a little and stimulate her collarbone with your touch. Create circles with your tongue and give her love bites right there, just to remind her of how much you want her.

Small of her back

Most women love it when their guy places his protective hand against the small of her back as it shows that he feels very strongly about her.
So, why not incorporate this gesture into your foreplay routine, by kissing or licking down her spine to end up with a kiss on the small of her back. It will definitely get her into the mood for more!

Behind her knees

This area is a power house of sensitive nerve endings. You can gently caress the back of her knee under her skirt while the two of you are in an open public space as it is sure to get her excited by the time you reach home.

Palms of her hands

We use our hands to please our partners, but have you ever thought that you could arouse a woman by stimulating the palm of her hand? Run your finger along her palm as that will make her feel relaxed and ready for a sexy rendezvous ahead.

Her earlobes

This is one of the most erogenous moan centers of a woman’s body. Touching, kissing and even gently biting her earlobes will send her into a sexual tizzy. If you are getting extra adventurous, simply nibble around the outside of the rest of her ear as well, but don’t put your tongue inside her ear. That’s a major turn off!

Happy feet

There’s nothing more sinfully seductive than a foot massage. It will help her relax, especially if her job requires her to be on them all day. Get yourself some aromatic massage oil or lotion.
Pay extra attention to the pressure points such as her toes, ankles and the sides of her feet too. Some women love enjoy having their toes sucked, but others find it repulsive, so ask your babe what she would have you do before putting them in your mouth.

Soft thighs

Touching a woman’s inner thighs without touching her private parts is the most sensual tease that is sure to get her all charged up.
Employ your hands and mouth to caress and kiss the insides of her thighs but remember to pull back before going all the way.

Abigail Clancy

In the WAG scandal that rocked World Cup 2006, Abbey Clancy was benched amid a drug scandal. She was sent home from Germany when pictures of her snorting cocaine at a festival emerged. But she is determined not to put a wrong foot this time. For help, she has enlisted her pal Elen Rivas. Sources believe that Rivas, who split from Chelsea's Frank Lampard in February 2009 after seven years, sees Abbey as a "little project".

Carolina Kluft

You are the best in the world by a huge margin. You haven't been beaten for six years, and you're the red-hot favourite for Olympic gold. And then you give it all up, not because injury, or age, or scandal, but simply because you don't find it fun any more.

There aren't many world-class athletes you can imagine doing that. Then again, Carolina Kluft isn't your average athlete. When she walked away from heptathlon, a few months before the Beijing Olympics, the philosophical won a rare victory over the physical.

"I cannot be what I am not," she says simply. "I was not enjoying it, and I have to feel it, to be myself.

"I cannot just go with the flow of everyone else around me. Then I would lose myself, and that's my biggest fear."

Kluft, at the peak of her powers, abandoned the event she had dominated for most of the decade, and took up another - the long jump - in which she stood almost no chance of winning a medal.

To the rest of the world it was a staggering decision. The Swede had won nine consecutive gold medals in major championships. Why throw away sporting immortality for a place among the also-rans? If you do have to quit, why not hang on a few months and go with another garland round your neck?

"If it's no longer fun, I cannot train the way I want to, and I cannot succeed the way I want to," she tells me.

"For me it wasn't 'stick with it and I will win'. I will probably lose, because I wasn't satisfied. I know what I am like, and I don't want to end up doing things because of other people are expecting me to do that. I don't want to lose myself in that way."

We are talking as she prepares for a new chapter in her life. Ten months after a ruptured hamstring almost ended her career, Kluft returns to competition in Daegu on Wednesday.

She does so as a long jumper. Even if the season goes well, she is unlikely to add to her long list of honours. It doesn't bother her in the slightest.

"For me, medals have never been the main motivation. I train all year round and do every practice because I am competitive and I enjoy it, not because of a medal."

But sportspeople obsess about Olympic gold. They will make incredible sacrifices to get one, push themselves through brutal training sessions, endure all sorts of pain and privation just to give themselves a shot. How Kluft could just turn her back on one?

"I already had an Olympic gold. I will never ever think that it's bad I don't have two. It's good enough to have one, in my world.

"I can understand that people think that it's weird, because that's the way it is in this world, but you should do things the best way for you. I live once, and I want to do my career the way I want to do it."

While the heptathlon went on without her in Beijing, Kluft was failing to get through qualifying in the triple jump and struggling to make the final cut in the long jump. Her best effort was over half a metre down on eventual winner Maurren Maggi.

Denise Lewis, her predecessor as Olympic heptathlon gold medallist, has professed herself baffled. "There's only one athlete who has been double Olympic champion in the heptathlon - Jackie Joyner-Kersee. But if there's one athlete I believe could have done it too - in her sleep - it would be Carolina."

Kluft smiles. "I followed it on TV. I missed my friends in the event, of course, and I missed the atmosphere, but that's the only thing I miss. Oh - and the hurdles sometimes. But I didn't miss the competition.

"I was kind of relieved that I wasn't there. I wasn't thinking, what am I doing, I was thinking, ah, I made the right decision.

"I was still happy. I don't think it's a fail to be ninth in the Olympic Games in your first time as a long jumper. It's so different, and it's hard. Sometimes it scares me. But that's what I like - to challenge me. I did my best and I came ninth, and a lot of girls were better than me."

Kluft's popularity has always been as much about her extrovert, animated antics during competitions as her stellar deeds. This is an athlete who took up multi-events in the first place simply because she loved athletics so much - the more events she could do, the more fun - and who can even find pleasure in rehab ("It was kind of cool - I had loads of new exercises to do").

Ninety-nine point nine percent of sportspeople would find it impossible to do what she has done. It would contradict their innate sense of competitiveness, do too much damage to ego and bank balance. For Kluft, there was no other option.

"When you've been at the top for a long time, and you've been training hard, been under a lot of pressure, you get very tired. You need something new. I had a way out with a new event.

"It's been inspirational for me to have this break. Mentally I could reload. Before I would always feel so tired, but today I actually feel I'm getting younger.

"I'm very, very happy every day because I can train every day. My body feels young again. In life I can still see good things."

Kluft is still only 27. Her long jump personal best is 6.97m, just 13 cm short of the distance Brittney Reese jumped to win world gold in Berlin last summer. Maggi won gold in Beijing with 7.04m. From that perspective, she could yet prove the world wrong and end up with another Olympic gold; London 2012 is still in her sights.

Problem is, that PB is four years old. By her own admission she doesn't expect to get close to it this year, not after that hamstring injury. Those last few centimetres won't come easily.

"I'm dreaming of jumping seven metres before I end my career, but I don't want to worry about expectations - I just want to enjoy it. If I go back nine months to my injury, that I can be here thinking about competing just makes me so happy." She pauses. "But of course, I never set any limits."

Even now, heptathlon still exerts a subtle influence. "I will always be a multi-eventer in my heart, meaning I want to try lots of different things. I won't be a coach, or a commentator, or anything like that. I would like to study - I'm very interested in international politics, so I'd like to learn more about global relations. I work for the Swedish federation of the UN, so I'd like to educate myself more with them."

Elsewhere, things have moved on. Wherever Kluft competed before, there was always one familiar figure by her side - a stuffed toy mascot named Eeyore, there to remind her that life was supposed to be fun. But just as she has evolved, so might her companion.

"I'm not going to be that girl any more. As a long jumper, maybe I have to change. We'll see if Eeyore will be part of that. Right now I'm working on being myself, and putting all the energy and joy that I had two years ago into this new, older woman."

She laughs. "Maybe I will take one more toy with me. Him from the past, and something new from the present time. I have new things I know about myself that aren't going to go away."
