Yes the Rumours are True

Well, after their vacation in Jamaica there is no doubt that Caribbean song bird Rihanna or 'Ri Ri' as she is more affectionately called is dating America's pop sensation Chris Brown. The 2 were seen backstage "frolicking" as we Island people love to say or "making out" as our Western counterparts like to say at a Smile Jamaica- Africa Unite concert on Saturday night (February 23rd) at James Bond Beach, Oracabessa St. Mary. The show was put on by the Marley Foundation to close out Reggae Month in Jamiaca where Rihanna was scheduled to perform. The couple was also spotted at the Hilton Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica on Monday (February 25th) having a blast by the pool area. But if you cannot believe it this picture does not lie!

Cricket World Cup 2007

If you are an ultimate sports fan then it should be no problem following the Cricket World Cup fever that has captivated the Caribbean, most European, Asian and African countries. This is a long anticipated event and the locals are definitely supporting the sport that is in their own 'backyaads'. So far most of the teams have proven their worth and the 'under dogs' have out shun some of the highly ranked and favoured teams. For example, teams such as Ireland and Bangladesh have definitely proven that they have love for the sport and as such they have beaten 2nd and 4th place ranked teams to qualify for the Super 8 Round. Ireland has demonstrated lots of love, determination and a drive to win, they truly are a surprise team in getting so far in the competition. While some teams have just blatantly embarrassed themselves and fellow countrymen and any dreams they might have had of winning the world cup as they were quickly eliminated from the First Round. Teams such as Bermuda and Kenya absolutely followed this path.

With the Super 8 Round almost over it is obvious as to which teams will be advancing to the Semi Finals. My picks for the Semi Finals are Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and South Africa. England is trying but their efforts do not seem to be enough to get them closer to winning the cup. I will not even bother to talk about the West Indies Cricket Team as they have done nothing more than embarrassed this vast region.
