男人不壞、女人不愛 ; 女人不壞、也不去愛

C罗也是穷苦人家出身的好少年，他出生在北太平洋葡属马德拉群岛，家庭条件堪与出身于里约热内卢贫民窟的大罗比一比谁更惨。他家破烂的棚屋在一座小山丘上，水泥墙壁，用废铁做的屋顶已经摇摇欲坠。他家的围墙像面包渣，而篱笆简直就是蜂窝。所有的家当最多不过4000英镑。

就是在这样艰苦的条件下，马德拉岛上还流传着一个美丽的传说。有朝一日，C罗会与他患难之交的女友乔丹娜·贾德尔有朝一日会成为贝克汉姆与维多利亚的翻版。乔丹娜是巴西球星马里奥·贾德尔的妹妹，当然长相要比她哥哥好看多了，如今是葡萄牙的名模。

可是，C罗在成功混进曼联并逐渐雄踞球队的财富榜首位之后，始终没有按照他许诺的那样把乔丹娜接到身边。“马德拉岛的美丽传说”真的成了一个“传说”，浩瀚的大海啊，埋葬着多少等待和思念，又阻隔了多少爱情，难怪那么多的望夫石都矗立在海边。

如今的小罗浑身珠光宝气，黑亮的摩丝使得他的头发欲滴出水来，两颗亮闪闪的钻石耳钉格外引人注目，在国际足联颁奖礼上，帅气的卡卡、可爱的梅西，都没有他那么摩登。别人都打着死板的领带，他则戴着一个别致的领结，很容易让人想起旧社会上海滩的花花公子。

是的，在勾引女性方面他的确蜕变成了一个“花花公子”，来到英伦之后与他传出绯闻的女人已经有四五个了，不管好坏，他来者不拒。

当然，这种逢场作戏难有真情.男人不坏，女人不爱；女人不坏，也不去爱——现在“爱”着C罗的，到底爱他什么？从这个角度看，C罗其实很可怜，他这么多年的努力只不过是把物质赤贫、精神富有转化为了物质富有、精神赤贫。仍未“脱贫”。

现在C罗已经拥有不止一套豪宅，但当年他和父母一道居住过的、被碎石和生锈金属片包围的狭小房子依旧是父亲名下的产业。“罗纳尔多”是小岛上家喻户晓的名字，依然是想通过奋斗改变命运的穷孩子的榜样，生活在桃花源中的老人或许以为今天的罗纳尔多仍然是那个踩在门前腐烂发臭的菜叶和零星的碎石上，每天帮着父母打零工补贴家用的乖孩子。

被寵壞了的天才

有些人生来就是用天赋取悦大众的，C罗就是马德拉岛献给球迷最大的礼物。像他这种能在球场上玩杂技的人，如今的欧洲足坛少之又少。22岁，拿到了英超最佳，位列金球奖和世界足球先生三甲，有人不喜欢他的花活，可架不住球迷看到他心里乐开了花。踢球讲一个人气，C罗要是不会过人只会破门，就等于丢弃了上帝亲手打开的礼物盒。

从马德拉岛的贫民窟走出来，C罗还有一个兄弟染了毒瘾，他小时候训练的场地，比现在上海的社区球场要破烂很多。那块故土，给了他两样东西：一副踢球的热心肠，一张阳光的俊脸。这两样东西恰好是职业足坛最紧俏的本钱，由它们垫底，C罗不趁着年轻挥霍一把都难。

在好莱坞，制片商对影星都有个定位。比如你适合演花花公子，你适合演好好先生。职业足坛也有根无形的准绳，像C罗这类，怎么看也是个大众情人的苗子。C罗说弗格森和斯科拉里都是自己的干爹，可亲身父亲离开了，干爹们不会来管你公寓里留宿几位女子，只要第二天你能在球场站稳，其他一律不干他们的事。

就这么，C罗被宠坏了。连他自己都没明白：自己到底有多坏。和肥皂剧女郎珍玛的勾搭，成了《太阳报》导演的连续剧，实际上，他连珍玛被津津乐道的三围都不了解。在自己公寓召妓的丑闻，他也认为是招待纳尼、安德森这些新伙计的老规矩。最可笑的，就连费迪南德也愿意成全C罗，说他一天到晚在衣橱镜子前摆弄头发，可你去看看C罗10岁时的照片，现在的发型和那时没啥两样。

在曼彻斯特的公寓，C罗和堂兄住在一起。在小时的玩伴眼中，大众情人克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多简单得很。他爱吃妈妈和姐姐做的菜，他爱玩球，经常在自家的草坪踢坏客厅的玻璃，他爱靓车，因为他喜欢那种感觉：在车里唱着“All I Wanna Do Is Moving”(我想做的就是跑起来)。

他又是个感情丰富的小伙。他老抱着枕头，对着安吉莉娜·朱丽的厚嘴唇和性感身材留口水。但三年前在电视新闻上看到印尼海啸，有位穿着曼联7号球衣的男孩幸免于难，他又忙着把钱寄给对方，答应照顾男孩直到找到能收养的家庭。

公寓的餐厅，挂着C罗最满意的一幅照片，他把自己打扮成了一名斗牛士。堂兄说，他就是喜欢像耍牛一样耍球。至于有时自己是人还是牛，这无所谓。反正：不轻狂，枉少年。

Alonso quits McLaren

Deposed world champion Fernando Alonso is to leave the McLaren team before the end of his current contract, a spokesman for the driver told the RNE radio station on Friday.

The spokesman, Luis Garcia-Abad, said that Alonso, who was under contract with the British team until 2008, would not have to pay a penalty for leaving and was free to join another team.

The 2005 and 2006 Formula One king has been involved in intense contract negotiations with the team in England over the last two days, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement for next season.


The 26-year-old Spaniard has had a controversial year with McLaren which has seen him at loggerheads with team chief Ron Dennis and co-driver Lewis Hamilton for much of the season and it had been widely expected he would move on.

His former employers at Renault have expressed their interest in taking him back, but Marca said Alonso might prefer to sign up for a smaller team with a view to eventually finding an opening at Ferrari.

Alonso saw his hopes of winning a hat-trick of world titles vanish in the final Grand Prix of the season in Brazil last month with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen snatching the prize away from him and team-mate Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton chooses Geneva

Lewis Hamilton, the Formula One racing driver, is renting an apartment in Geneva with a view of Lake Geneva, Le Matin reports today. The newspaper cites a source indicating that Hamilton, 22, is set to finalize a rental agreement for the pad overlooking the Rade, the city’s harbor. It was reported earlier this week that the British driver, runnerup Formula One champion for 2007, was moving to Switzerland to avoid the glare of publicity in his home country.

Le Matin reports that Dominique Oberegger, a resident of Luins, near Gland in Vaud, met Hamilton’s father in Monza, Italy during the Grand Prix there in September. Oberegger had learned that the driver was looking for a place to live in Switzerland. He suggested a luxury three-room apartment in Luins with a view of Lake Geneva, which the Hamiltons, father and son, later visited. “They found it agreeable, then we went to eat at the Auberge Communale,” Oberegger told the newspaper. “Lewis loved the fact that nobody recognized him and that they would not come and disturb him during the meal.”

Hamilton, the most successful rookie Formula One driver ever, finds himself living a stealthy life in Britain, where paparazzi trail him everywhere he goes. In the end, Oberegger said the driver chose an apartment in Geneva, to be closer to the airport, although he may yet rent out the place in Luins for friends. Hamilton’s arrival would bring to seven the number of active Formula One drivers living in Switzerland, including 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen, who calls Zurich home. Fernando Alonso has a home in Mont-sur-Rolle. Other past champions such as Michael Schumacher (Gland) and Alain Prost (Nyon) live nearby.

奧運場上的喜怒哀樂

Lewis has no regrets despite title loss

Lewis Hamilton is adamant he doesn’t regret any aspect of his debut Formula 1 season and is instead taking the positives from finishing second in the world championship at the first attempt.

The McLaren driver agonisingly lost out on the title to Ferrari rival Kimi Raikkonen by a single point in the season finale in Brazil after leading the standings since the fourth round of the season.

He could have wrapped up the crown with a round to spare in China but slid into a gravel trap after McLaren kept him out too long on worn tyres.

But despite the near-miss, Hamilton insists he is only looking forward to next year.

“No," he replied when asked if he had any regrets in a video interview on McLaren’s official website.

"I think it's been a phenomenal year and I'm very, very privileged to have the opportunity, so I'm glad that I'm going to have another opportunity next year, and I'll work even harder.”

He added that he felt he has come a long way in his year as an F1 driver.

"Twelve months ago I was wondering whether I'll be a Formula 1 driver, and whether I would be able to make it, whether I would be able to do a good job,” he said.

"And obviously it's been such an extremely quick roller coaster and all of a sudden I'm here, at the end of my first season, you could say No. 2 in the world.

“So it's been a great year."

何處容下我雙白皮鞋

一張拍攝角度極差的舊照片、十一張帶點朦朧不清的笑臉．．．．；這是1989年5月1日麗晶酒店Ballroom, 《成報》創刊五十周年慶祝酒會的體育版全家福－我的娘家......！

凌晨接近2時,從公司電腦看見EVA新Post消息, 沒有過份驚訝,但卻語欲無言......！

身心疲憊不堪，左手手掌再因發炎痛得要命，乘公司小巴到達第一城尾站後，竟又未一如往日趕截的士速速回家，反而拖著沉重步伐「挑戰」十五分鐘歸途。　

扮有型？．．．何來瀟洒本錢！只想走走路，舒解難以釋懷的心情吧了！

耗損得快要昏厥的腦袋,整夜不停輸出一行行Eva寫下的字句，還有零碎而繁多的段段回憶。　

縱然勉強追得上時代巨輪步速，但仍舊懷念「爬格子動物」的手寫稿生涯、懷念那瓶用來漿貼稿紙的漿糊、懷念那個老套的黑色搞盤電話、懷念那張發出駭人擦地聲的無轆凳、懷念「山哥最後一個入室弟子」的稱號、懷念培哥專用的「臭釧」大名、懷念那部第一代AP Leafax超巨型傳相機、懷念..........；9年零9個月, 懷念的人與事, 太多了!

離開《成報》前向培哥說的那段話, 至今依然隻字未忘。「在《成報》由小長大，多年來有老竇你愛錫，又有阿水、康仔同菜菜三個阿哥照顧......；　今日, 細路女有毛有翼了，想自己走出去闖一闖，不過, 這裡永遠都是我的娘家......。」

Eva不下數次「投訴」在檯底暗角位嚇然發現有對白皮鞋......。唏！娘家裡頭存放一雙鞋，何怪之有?!

舊人走、新人來; 《成報》體育版往後由組合、座位、氣氛, 以至老闆賣手就天天變, 年年換, 聽到每句今不如昔的評價和指控, 實在感慨萬千, 試問還怎願探望娘家? 難道為睹一片頹垣敗瓦? !

從沒希冀《成報》大翻身, 可是想起娘家大限將至, 不禁心頭一酸、悲從中來 !

我哭了!

昨日聽到一把久違了的聲音, 解開停留在心裡已有好幾個月的「不尋常感覺」疑惑, 剎那間恍然大悟。

終於知道, 一份連夜趕製的生日禮物, 原來狠狠刺痛了一個舊傷口！

終於知道，沒有再翻看那隻ＤＶＤ的原因！

終於知道，當日在旺角會為何會說出「人長大了，對任何事都有不同想法和體會」！

終於知道，近來總是單刀赴會的苦衷！

終於知道, 因何今趟賽後訪問是「完全不一樣」！

掛斷電話線，翻開手頭上三數頁賽後訪問Print out, 準備炮製段頭條稿件，腦袋裡愈來愈多「啊，原來....」、「呀，唔怪得.....」; 看過一段又一段的對答內容, 再望望電腦上一張又一張的比賽相片.....

終於, 我哭了!

沒有深究「點解會咁」，反正一切已成往事；　但這個「聚舊」電話卻如當頭棒喝, 驚覺過去一年「被迫」對小朋友實在「萬分疏離」與「極度疏忽」。

幸福絕非必然！99年某個晚上通長途電話, 說起那碗「餐蛋出前一丁」, 小朋友突然問得好認真：「唔識煮餐蛋出前一丁，係咪好低能呀？」必然幸福的背後是多麼無助！！！「出前一丁，你唔會唔識煮架，至多煮得唔好食， 你係冇機會去煮呀！因為由細到大都有人煮畀你食。」活像有趣笑話的對答著實如斯無奈。

相識近十載，最擔心他自小受保護，遇到挫折會不堪一擊；最痛心他不肯、不會、不願去為開心事放聲大笑，為傷心事痛哭一場！　

正因為比賽場上那雙眼神從未如此堅定過，已可知小朋友走過那道關口時有多苦....！

本應要為痛定思痛後重新振作的小朋友能真正做到"I'm just here to enjoy my snooker" , 因為 "I had nothing to lose" 而「老懷安慰」, 然而不知何解, 我還是想盡情哭多遍！

28/4/06

小朋友，有得食餐蛋出前一丁未呀！

好幾年沒有再叫Marco做小朋友, 並非因小朋友長大了, 怕難為情；只是久久未能從Marco身上找到小朋友們應有的無憂快樂.....! 不過今日, 我知道小朋友找到迷宮出口, 等足六年零七個月, 他終於回來了!

登上Getty見到這張相片, 第一個感覺是：「好耐冇見過佢對眼咁有神, 咁堅定 !」

好奇怪, 見著Marco首圈過關好, 打入八強好, 甚至到了四強階段, 依然仍未出現手震冒汗, 心跳加速的「正常」現象, 不禁問自己, 是身體太疲倦, 連生理反應都慢幾十拍嗎 ? 還是對任何事真的徹底不在乎 ?

說實話........ 我.......不知道........ ! 只是先後在電話裡頭向「麻媽」及花姐說到:「Marco這個成績, 是半年來我所得到最有效的一粒止痛藥。」 Mar..未出口, 喉嚨經已頂住了!

激動,不再因什麼四強, 什麼歷史；而是Marco能夠再次享受桌球, 一樣他從小就鍾愛的東西。　

世界上沒有任何事情，比起要用Suffer的心情去面對最愛的人與事更加痛苦.....，　但一個在溫室長大、「幸福」到竟然連碗餐蛋出前一丁也不會煮的小朋友，六有多以來一直痛苦......!　

世界冠軍 ? 贏, 固然好; 輸，No big deal！只要輸得甘心、輸得開心。　

兩次掛起塊亞運金牌強顏歡笑......，「小朋友，你笑得好肉酸呀！堂堂一個公子，豈能如此失禮！」

苦待九年終償宏願！

苦待九年、終償宏願！香港桌壇「一哥」傅家俊周一凌晨於「福地」格蘭披治賽決賽盡顯遇強愈強本色，打出職業生涯代表作以九比六擊落「火箭」奧蘇里雲首奪排名賽錦標，除了成為繼「泰國之虎」華達拿及「中國神童」丁俊暉後，第三位贏取職業排名賽的亞洲球手外，亦袋走七萬五千鎊（約一百二十萬港元）獎金，臨時世界排名升上第十五位，名利雙收，他強調未來目標依然是享受快樂桌球：「玩得開心皷！」

首節前七局交戰後以三比四落後的傅家俊，經中段休息調整心情，重返戰場即有出色發揮，當中最令人拍案叫絕莫過於Marco在第十四局落後0:58劣勢下，「揸Rest」打入一隻高難度「黐咕」紅波，連隨清罎反勝60:58，把總比數領前至八比六，為稱霸奠定重要基石；傅家俊及後再下一城以九比六奏捷，取得跟奧蘇里雲對賽十一次以來（排名賽）第六場勝仗，也盡吐九年前於同一項賽事決賽不敵李爾烏氣。

等足九個年頭終能高舉夢寐以求的職業首冠，Marco捧起獎盃時依然保持「淡定」作風，沒有激動但卻滿足，他透過長途電話接受訪問時表示：「等了這麼多年……，此刻當然興奮啦！況且我是打出九年來最好一仗去擊敗當今最天才橫溢的球手，證明自己的能力，感覺好圓滿。」

早前在十六強賽已把應屆世界冠軍兼「一哥」希堅斯篤出局的傅家俊，不忘感激臈練名宿基夫斯於過去兩年的悉心指導：「不論Cue法或臨場情緒控制， Terry都幫了我很多，但能夠衝破困擾多時的心理障礙，全因我學懂享受，不再終日『為比賽而比賽』。」難怪談到未來目標時，Marco不消一秒就說：「繼續Enjoy！」

至於無法打破三十個月錦標荒的奧蘇里雲，賽後亦有風度地大讚傅家俊：「九八年（格蘭披治賽）八強輸給Marco後，已經知道他是天分型球手，終有一朝成大器，今場決賽，他比我發揮得好，奪冠實至名歸。」昨晨已從蘇格蘭轉飛威爾斯的傅家俊，將稍作休息及調整，準備下月四至十一日展開的本季第三項排名賽—北愛爾蘭盃。

我也有過迷失歲月......

由九六年隨家人自溫哥華回流返港發展的溫室「受保護動物」，到現時終實現贏取排名賽夢想的「沙場老將」，雖不再「小子」卻更「神奇」的傅家俊，回望過往九個球季裡歷盡起跌，嘗遍人情冷暖，甚至一度對桌球生厭，興趣變負累，幸好幾經思想掙扎終走出黑暗，重拾「篤波」樂；Marco近年更轉食齋勤練氣功，養生兼減壓，用最Fit狀態去迎接「男人三十」，開創另一個黃金十年。

九八年爆冷奪得格蘭披治賽亞軍，傅家俊一夜間紅到發紫，人人「Marco前Marco後」，電視、電台、報紙、雜誌無不爭相約訪問，桌球漫畫封面是傅家俊，婚紗廣告又是傅家俊……。

然而當面對全港市民期望時，Marco無所適從，愈想贏，壓力愈大，結果年復年，屢戰屢敗，即使○三年超聯冠軍加上亞運會穿金戴銀成就，都不足以擋住當頭起的丁俊暉後浪衝擊。不知多少次，人們把這個昔日屢為亞洲爭光的「神奇小子」彈到一文不值：「Marco唔得硇喇！邊夠『小丁』打呀！」

聽見這種評價，總不會沒有難受感覺，難得傅家俊看得開：「二十出頭經已成名，我也有過迷失歲月！好一段時間不知怎去Handle成功、失敗、讚譽、批評，甚至心高氣傲，最終飛得高、跌得痛。」

不過，最令Marco驚恐的日子卻是三數年前突然對桌球失去「愛」的感覺：「本為最大興趣，卻帶來厭倦和負累，這是每個球手最痛苦的事。」不過正如香港「一哥」說：「贏過輸過痛過……，還有兩個月多，我都快三十歲了，自問待人處事比以往更好更成熟，也自信可在事業及人生路上走得更豐盛。」

孤身走我路

孤身苦獨過、自強走我路。女拳手從不易為，名門之後萊拉阿里年少遭強暴，打鬥中成長，無名小卒張喜燕更是無父無母，於「一個人的路途上」掙扎求生，靠雙拳頭尋找自我存在價值；縱已身纏三條金腰帶成為中國拳壇第一人，但「漂泊孤燕」畢生遺憾卻永難修補。　

上星期二（九日），張喜燕在「福地」成都稱后世界拳擊協會（WBA）超羽量級爭霸戰，連同早已到手的 WIBA（國際女子拳擊協會）及 WIBC（國際女子拳擊理事會）金腰帶，榮膺中國史上首位集齊三大拳擊組織拳王銜頭的運動員。

喜悅過後，仍被掌聲和閃耀燈光包圍的張喜燕走到台下暗自神傷：「我的父母經已不在了！即使從沒介意跟別人提及家事，但每當贏取勝利、手握金腰帶或是逢年過節之時，我總不由自主地想起她們，這是我生命中最重要惜又永遠失去的東西。」

在女拳王記憶中，母親患尿病毒症須年長躺臥病床渡日，直至九八年別她而去，那時，剛於國內業餘拳壇嶄露頭角的張喜燕才十八歲；豈料媽媽離世後僅四個月，曾是舉重健兒的父親張仁義，又因腦血栓半身不遂.....，人間慘劇亦莫過於此。

為了照料唯一摯親，女拳王忍痛放下拳套，四出打工賺錢養家籌藥費，兩年間，她做過飯店臨時工、浴室中心服務員，甚至牙醫診所消毒工人，欠債累累，飽嘗生活艱辛。很多時，爸爸會問是否想再練拳，每一次，孝順女都說：「此刻我只望伴在你身邊，其他的事我什麼也不要想。」答得多麼真誠卻有無限悵惘！

○一年，張喜燕在啟蒙教練趙廷芳力勸下，再踏擂台、重拾目標，可是，翌年就在全國賽前二十多天，收到老父病危惡耗：「我從瀋陽趕返哈爾濱，守在他身邊六日六夜，然而爸爸還是離開了我......！」說到哀痛往事，堅強女拳王也不禁悲從中來，語欲無言。

死者已矣，「孤女」只好化悲憤為力量，拳，練得更勤、打得更狠，結果送別父親後三星期便贏得全國冠軍。獎盃在懷，張喜燕哭得肝腸寸斷，因為她想起與雙親天人相隔，此刻榮耀只能「孤芳自賞」：「原本打算放棄那場比賽，但我知道爸爸臨終前堅持了六天，也不過想來看我打拳，所以我告訴自己不可輕言棄甲，不能辜負他。」數月後，黑龍江姑娘摘下世界賽金牌，為走上女拳王之路奠定重要基石。

無倚無靠，張喜燕唯有把一切都獻給拳擊，咬緊牙關勇敢活下去，：「我沒有家，隨身行李也只得一個箱、一個袋，但能腳踏擂台延續夢想，償亡父遺願，我已經很滿足；況且父母活在天堂也定會為女兒所獲成就感自豪驕傲，對我來說，這不是比金錢名利更重要嗎？」哪管四處漂泊、刁然一身，「孤燕」始終仍可找到快樂片刻！

He does, however, wholeheartedly welcome the reader into his life; sharing thoughts on the most striking and intense experiences of his life on and off the pitch. With these stories, and over 150 sumptuous photographs to accompany the text, his fans will find as much joy in turning the page as they would watching him play football.

好孩子

9月19日曼聯於歐聯首場分組初賽作客士砵亭，C朗重返母會頭槌破門協助球隊以1：0奏捷。
入球後，C朗沒有多大興奮，最先浮現在臉上是歉意表情，然後不停對自己昔日球迷做出道歉手勢，甚至高舉雙手向他們鞠躬。

他也許在場內愛炫耀腳法玩弄對手，場內是個緋聞不絕的花花公子，但始終是個念舊的好孩子！

Wentworth Miller GQ Interview

TV show Prison Break was actor Wentworth Miller's breakout project. He moves around freely in our country - and presents the current urban fashion.

There he is in boxer shorts. A little taller (1,85 m =6'1), a little stronger (he doesn't exercise), a lot younger (35 this June) and a lot better looking (the three mile stare!) than expected. Full name: Wentworth Earl Miller III. He's trying on clothes completely undisturbed. A Marco Polo raincoat and an Armani cashmere coat are his favorites. There's no entourage or a watcher accompanying him. Pleasantly little fuss over the face of US serial TV in the last few years.

2003 was expected to be Wentworth Miller's breakout year. He finally got a coveted role, being cast in a movie with Nicole Kidman and Anthony Hopkins. The social drama, an adaptation of a Phillip Roth novel, was called The Human Stain. Hardly anyone saw the film. As Miller recalls, "I hoped so badly that this movie would open some doors a little wider for me. But it was more like coming from an easy trot to a complete halt."

Until then he was recognized for the movie Underworld and TV guest spots on Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, ER and Dinotopia. I only knew Wentworth Miller from Mariah Carey's 2005 video "We Belong Together". The video was directed by Brett Ratner, who then hired Miller as the star of his upcoming show Prison Break. The Princeton grad surprised everyone with his Macguyver abilities in the role. The third season is currently being filmed. Prison Break is not a ratings hit only in the United States. A PR-woman confessed to me in Paris recently that she was wet for Went. And Went talks of Korea, which he visited a month ago - panties were thrown. "It's amazing, the success the show has had there. I couldn't go out in the street alone." His face is on almost every street corner in Seoul. He's a spokes model for a jeans company and a coffee brand. But he doesn't talk about that. Just on the previous day Miller modeled for another Korean catalog.

Los Angeles Harbor, Went is sipping on his Peppermint Moccha Chip Frappucino and chatting about his German roots. "Miller, Müller, you know!"A wast understatement. According to his official biography he also has African, Jamaican, English, Jewish and Indian roots - from his father's side alone. He's visited Germany before, "I toured Europe a lot of times during college with Tigertones, an a cappella singing group. Each time we visited Heidelberg. We would lay our hats on the town square and tried to earn our meal money. It would just cover beer and bratwursts. And I remember this pool where the girls could go topless. In retrospect I think that's the only reason why Heidelberg was always on our traveling schedule." Went surely wouldn't mind jumping in a pool right now. But the scorching 48˚C (118 F) and heavy winter outfits don't slow him down. And a planned five hour shoot extends to eight. He then gets into his air conditioned limousine. Wentworth Miller has to get back to his cell.

Editorial:

Wentworth Miller: In all honesty: how familar were you with his name? It's funny how one of the most intelligent and engrossing TV shows of the last few years has ratings trouble on our TV stations. In the US Prison Break immediately became a water cooler show, not least of all due to the brilliant performance of the 35-year-old star. The camera loves this man, making shooting him a child's play to photographers like the late Herb Ritts (who discovered him for a "Say No To Drugs" campaign), Bruce Weber and not least of all Ralph Mecke, who shot the cover story of this GQ Style. Next to Mr Miller's enormous stage presence it (the cover story) also showcases the diversity of the new urban fashion (and maybe you'll want to give Prison Break a second chance on DVD afterwards).

My father is Black, my mother White. That makes me a Lone Ranger between the two ethnic communities.

I constantly have to define myself for others. The problem is that the definitions always belong to those who define, not to those who are defined.

Prison Break is a thriller, but actually a family drama as well. It deals with the question of how far a person would go to save their loved ones.

Get Your Rudebox!!

Wentworth Miller

Wentworth Earl Miller III was born on June 2, 1972. While he was born in Chipping Norten, Oxfordshire England, he was raised in Brooklyn New York. Wentworth’s background is very diverse as his father is of African American, Jamaican, English, German, Jewish and Cherokee descent and his mother is of Russian, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese descent.

When asked about his background Wentworth often says, “My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, caught between two communities.”

He grew up in a strict academic environment with his father working as a Lawyer Educator and his mother as a Special Education Teacher. While studying at school Wentworth and his two sisters (Gillian and Leigh) were expected to take school seriously and were only allowed to listen to classical music.

After 3 years at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, Wentworth transferred to Quaker Valley Senior High School in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. After graduating in 1990 he attended the prestigious Princeton University where he would perform with the a cappella group, The Princeton Tigertones. Wentworth received his degree in English Literature in 1995 and decided it was time to follow a new path.

Career
He decided to move to Los Angeles and was hired as a temp to work behind the scenes and offices of several production companies. Within the years to come Wentworth found himself landing guest roles on shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER, Dinotopia, Joan of Arcadia, The Ghost Whisperer and the teen hit Popular.

Many of these guest roles soon led to a role in the feature film The Human Stain with Nicole Kidman and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Wentworth was immediately attracted to the role, “I liked the script, Human Stain, a lot because it resonated with me as a minority. I thought I knew a lot of the subtext of what was going on with this character.” The film was well received by the viewers and critics alike, further pushing Wentworth’s name into the public.

After The Human Stain he appeared in the movie Underworld with Kate Beckinsale and Mariah Carey’s 2005 music video We Belong Together. Wentworth’s career has sky rocketed thanks to his audition for the hit show Prison Break. He can now be seen weekly portraying the cunning and creative Michael Scofield alongside.

Private Life
Wentworth describes himself as a very private person, ''I wouldn't describe myself as a people person, I'm a private person, but that implies that I'm sitting on a mountain of secrets. The fact is, I'm a fairly quiet person. I have to laugh internally when I'm asked in interviews what nightspots I like to hit. I just don't have answers for those questions. So sometimes I make them up.''

He is currently living in L.A. and spends time relaxing when he’s not working. Wentworth is also single and remains to be so until he states otherwise.

Make history again

Lewis Hamilton's record-breaking start to his formula one career continued yesterday when he moved into the joint lead of the world championship after finishing second in the Bahrain grand prix in his McLaren-Mercedes.

The 22-year-old became the first driver in the 58-year history of the world championship to finish on the podium in the opening three races of his career after taking the chequered flag 2.3 seconds behind Felipe Massa's Ferrari. Hamilton is equal on 22 points in the drivers' championship with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and with his own team-mate Fernando Alonso, whom he comprehensively eclipsed in fifth place at the end of the gruelling 57-lap race at the dusty Sakhir desert track.

It is the first time that a driver who has yet to win a grand prix has led the title race since France's Jean Behra in 1956. The next race is in Barcelona in four weeks' time.

"To have another second in only my third race I could not ask for more," said Hamilton, who drove with the same maturity and composure he had already displayed while finishing third in Australia and second in Malaysia. "There is only one more step from here and we will keep on pushing for Barcelona.

"I think it is a fantastic achievement. I am extremely proud. We have worked extremely hard to get where we are today, me and my family, but also my team in terms of how competitive we are."

For the moment, however, Hamilton said he was keen to be back home after more than two months on the road since before the start of season. "I am looking forward to going home, I have not been home for nine weeks," he said.

"I'll be back next week. I think the support is growing and I'm looking forward to getting to Silverstone [for the British grand prix in July] and seeing how many fans are there. I have not experienced it yet, so it will be new to me. I hope I will still be able to walk the streets.

"I know this break coming up is going to be really good, we are going to be working extremely hard to make sure we make some more steps forward, to make sure that we go to Barcelona even quicker."

Tiger Woods of F1

Born in Stevenage in 1985, Lewis Hamilton won several karting championships before being signed by McLaren aged 12. He won the British Formula Renault championship in 2003, Formula Three Euro Series in 2005 and the GP2 Series this year, beating more experienced rivals. Last month he was named as Fernando Alonso’s new McLaren Formula One team-mate. He lives in Hertfordshire with his father Anthony and younger brother Nicholas, who has cerebral palsy

Lewis Hamilton may be the first black driver ever signed to a Formula One team. But back home in Tewin Wood, Hertfordshire, he’s a long way from fast-living Monaco and the glamorous trappings of the F1 circus; here the small-town boy drives a little Smart Forfour.

It is a sporty version, though, as the 21-year-old is quick to point out. “It’s a 177bhp specially tuned Brabus and it’s seriously quick,” he says. “It has a big turbo with all the performance you need. Before that I owned a Smart Roadster for two years.”

But it’s still piddling compared with the 750bhp packed by a modern F1 car. And he’s crashed it. “I’ve had a couple of accidents,” he admits, “including one where I didn’t see a corner in time and went off the road.”

On the track his judgment has fortunately proved more reliable. Hamilton will take the driving seat of his McLaren F1 car at the start of the 2007 season in March, alongside team-mate Fernando Alonso, the current world champion, who has jumped ship from Renault. McLaren badly needs a win, having completed the last season without a single grand prix victory.

David Coulthard, former McLaren driver and veteran of 211 grands prix, has questioned the thinking behind Hamilton’s appointment and suggested the youngster should first spend time as a test driver. But Hamilton believes he’s prepared for the challenge. “I’m absolutely ready,” he says. “I must put some miles under my belt, and the sooner the better.

“I have nothing left to prove. I’ve had a fantastic season winning the GP2 Series against some very experienced drivers. I know that F1 is going to be much tougher but teaming up with Fernando is the best solution for me because I can learn so much from him.”

Hamilton has already been dubbed “the Tiger Woods of motorsport” and Ron Dennis — McLaren’s founder — recently rated only Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen above his rookie driver. He spotted Hamilton’s talent as a 12-year-old, signed him up on a development contract and has since spent an estimated £5m on what he calls his My Fair Lady experiment. Just four years after Hamilton passed his driving test, he is now poised to fulfil his, and his mentor’s, ultimate dream.

His rise to the top began when he was five years old and his father bought him a radio-controlled car. “It was an electric off-roader and I loved it. My dad saw I had good eye-to-hand co-ordination and encouraged me to try racing it.”

A year later he found himself racing it around the Blue Peter garden. “It was a big day out. I think I was at least 20 years younger than the other contestants, but I won.”

After this small victory Hamilton was given his first petrol-powered racing kart on Christmas Day 1992. The weekend hobby became more serious when he won the Cadet Class of the British karting championship three years later. As a 10-year-old blatting around a track on a 60cc go-kart, Hamilton was completely fearless. “I don’t think my parents truly understood how dangerous it could be,” he says. “I had one big crash where I went off and ploughed into a wall. I bashed my head and had a nosebleed, but I just told Dad to fix the kart. I raced the next day and won.”

Hamilton first met Dennis at the annual Autosport Awards ceremony. Aged 10, he plucked up the courage to approach the McLaren supremo and ask for an autograph. “Ron signed the book then said, ‘Give me a call in nine years’. As it turned out they signed me when I was 12.”

His winning streak continued, picking up go-kart championships year after year and culminating with the European title in 2000. He claimed the Formula Renault UK trophy in a car after three attempts in 2003, the year after passing his driving test, having had just six lessons. “I paid for lessons in the end because I don’t think my dad was the best person to teach me,” he says cheekily. “He thinks he is the best driver and even now when I’m at the wheel I still get instructions on how to do it! “I do have some penalty points on my licence but it was from a speed camera and I’m not sure I was the one driving that day.”

Hamilton, whose grandfather came to Britain from Grenada in the 1950s and worked on the railways, still lives with his father Anthony — also a former rail worker who went on to run a successful IT business — and younger brother Nicholas. His parents divorced but he remains close to his mother and has been dating his college sweetheart Jodia for 2Å years.

“The only problem with my job is that I don’t get to see her enough,” he says sweetly, sounding a million miles from the clichéd F1 playboy. “We met while we were studying at college in Cambridge. She studied event management and is now working in London. She’s my best friend and we speak every day.”

To relax he plays guitar, plays basketball, and is trying his hand at golf. He is expected to earn about £350,000 in his first F1 season, plus bonuses that could amount to as much as £140,000 per race. And, growing into his new role, he already has his eyes on a suitably flashy motor. In the past his connections with McLaren Mercedes (DaimlerChrysler, Mercedes’ parent company, holds a 40% stake in McLaren) earned him the keys to a Mercedes C-class, followed by a C-class Sports Coupé. He now has his eye on something extra special: a Mercedes SLR McLaren supercar.

If he and Alonso can turn around McLaren’s fading fortunes, he might just get lucky.

賺晒！

日前揚威西班牙、成為歷史上首位贏得世界冠軍的亞洲車手，「香港的驕傲」黃金寶昨午自西班牙凱旋歸來，「阿寶」即場穿起標誌著單車運動最高榮譽的「彩虹戰衣」，把刻有彩虹標記的世界賽金牌再次掛在胸前，好不威風！
踩過十九載單車人生路，縱流盡無數血汗水，但黃金寶自言「有得冇失」：「好多人話我踩車咁多年，失去o左家庭生活、男女朋友關係甚至前途……。其實，單車帶畀自己好多o野，我賺晒先至真！」　「我呢個『屋村仔』都可以變成亞洲頂級車手，仲贏到世界賽金牌，所以做人只要認定目標，然後堅持、堅持再堅持，就一定會有成功一日，學到呢個信念絕對係我踩車咁耐賺到o既最大財富。」

我們的驕傲！

19載奮鬥踩出奇蹟、黃金寶世界賽摘金創亞洲歷史！這位剛滿三十四歲的香港體壇「星中之星」，昨於西班牙馬略卡舉行的07年世界場地錦標賽，用行動引證「衝出亞洲、揚名世界，絕非天方夜譚」的信念，憑驚人爆發力技壓群雄勇奪捕捉賽金牌，成為該項目史上首位獲取世界冠軍的亞洲車手，同時寫下華籍男將稱雄世界賽歷史新一頁。「阿寶」永留「彩虹榮譽」絕對是「我們的驕傲」！

「踩近二十年終於收成正果，提前為單車生涯劃上『完美句號』，往後縱然無法再攀高峰，我亦可以說聲今生無悔無憾！」儘管因興奮過度徹夜難眠，但電話筒內依然傳來黃金寶精神奕奕的聲音，他透露按沈金康教練安排，出戰捕捉賽原本只作為記分賽賽前熱身，發夢也未想過竟在這個自己歷來參賽不足十場的項目，把握到唯一機會就贏得夢寐以求的世界冠軍專有「彩虹戰衣」（Rainbow Jersey）：「『彩衣』可以仿造，但將來參加所有UCI（國際單車聯會）認何賽事所穿任何戰衣，均可在手臂位置縫上『彩虹標記』，這才是我得到的畢生至高榮耀。」

99年曾獲世界賽B記分賽錦標的黃金寶，前晚先於捕捉賽資格賽脫穎而出，以小組首名進級，決賽再力敵二十一名對手，並於最後10圈成功突圍壓倒荷蘭及波蘭對手奪魁，「阿寶」昨日乘勝出擊記分賽，在十四人角逐的資格賽分組初賽名列第4，順利踩入決賽，衝擊第二面金牌。

89年展開單車生涯，黃金寶十多年來見證歷代港隊新人舊將輪流轉卻仍迄立不倒，全憑「堅持、堅持再堅持」的意志：「除非選擇離場，否則我絕不會讓自己的運動生命陷入『溫水煮蛙』境地，事實上，青蛙在熱水池內會不斷躍跳求生，處身溫水窩卻頓時失去危機感，最終熱死水中！」「阿寶」滿足地說：「近年不斷向隊友師弟灌輸『溫水煮蛙』道理，鼓勵他們要放眼世界，今日，我可說是『講得出、做得到』，希望其他香港運動員也要相信自己，敢向命運挑戰！」

最高榮譽在明天...

「世界冠軍之路」四步曲

03年七月某天看著大堆獎牌笑說件件皆為寶物，但斷言最重要的戰利品尚未出現，因為黃金寶相信「最高榮譽在明天」！不過，成功從來得回不易，「阿寶」由黃毛小子變成「亞洲車神」，再榮升世界冠軍，「彩虹戰衣」背後十九年血汗辛酸史，大家又知幾多？

初生之犢（89至92年）－「糊塗」彗星自斷前程
黃金寶自小對「轆」情有獨鐘，一次偶然看見偶像洪松蔭於電視廣告內衝線英姿，從而立心投身單車運動行列，89年加入港隊首戰港澳埠際賽，翌年贏得環台多日賽最勤辛的阿山里分站冠軍嶄露頭角，91年更為港奪得歷來首面亞青賽個人公路賽金牌，被視為香港車壇新希望；然而92年赴歐洲集訓期間捲入港隊內鬨打鬥風波被罰停賽，一時意氣退出車壇。

黃金十年（93至02年）－喜遇百樂東山再起
前港隊主將梁鴻德及另一名圈中好友力勸復出，適逢前中國國家隊總帥沈金康93年應邀擔任港隊短期教練，「阿寶」決再披港隊戰衣，正式接受系統性訓練，至97年迎來個人單車生涯首項重要錦標－全運會個人公路賽冠軍，翌年再圓亞運金牌夢。99年稱霸世界賽B記分賽，成功轉營，從此公路、場地「兩邊走」。

十字路口（03至04年）－失去目標欲去難捨
03年踏入三十歲關口，黃金寶亦站在人生交叉點，有感逾十年單車生涯已盡攬亞洲級別各大、小金牌，突然迷失前進方向，04年雅典奧運後更一度萌退休念頭，完成重返校園心願，但卻又難捨單車運動，陷入進退兩難困局。

至高榮譽（05至07年）－認清「至愛」求闖京奧
一想再想，「阿寶」深感畢生最愛還是「踩單車」，於是為自己定下衝擊場地項目世界級獎牌，重新上路，向08京奧全速前行。05年初，黃金寶於世界盃英國站勇奪記分賽銀牌，去年底又重奪失落八年的亞運會個人公路賽金牌，進入07年，「阿寶」更綻放光芒，以三十四歲「高齡」首膺世界冠軍.....黃金寶，確是愈老愈精彩！

快樂，從未在他身上出現過！

性格定命運，還是命運由天定？打從呱呱落地一刻，盧根尼斯已注定是個悲劇人物！六○年秋天，只有九個月大的薩摩亞及瑞典混血小嬰兒，慘遭十五歲的「未成年父母」遺棄，幸獲已有一名養女的盧根尼斯夫婦收留，跟隨「別人姓氏」的小盧根尼斯算是在「幸福家庭」中成長；但快樂，從未在他身上真正出現過！

可憐的身世令盧根尼斯自小情緒抑鬱，導致出現朗讀困難、受同學排斥，直至十三歲由舞蹈室走出跳水池後，小盧根尼斯才找到人生目標，七六年以十六歲幼齡參加蒙特利爾奧運會，摘下一面十米高台銀牌，八年後更在洛城創造歷史成為「雙冠王」。

大家還記得八八年漢城奧運一幕驚心動魄的「撞板事件」嗎？盧根尼斯於三米板賽事發生罕有意外，起跳後作後仰翻時頭部竟撞向板邊，浴血水池。出征漢城前已得悉帶有愛滋病毒的盧根尼斯，看見自己的鮮血灑遍池水，一陣陣恐懼、內疚湧上心頭……。這位翌年宣布退休的跳水皇帝也是七年後才說出「我有愛滋病」的秘密。現居於南加州的盧根尼斯，經常會為青少年團體主持反吸毒和酗酒講座，以及參與幫助朗讀困難病人工作。

敢攀斷背山

每個人心裏都有一個斷背山，只是你沒有上去過……！正因為並非每個人都敢於舉步，兩位追求「同一天空下、人人皆平等」的國際體壇傳奇人物盧根尼斯和娜華蒂露娃更樂意挺身而出，分別擔任今夏兩個同性戀者運動會的冠軍大使，率領全球同志攜手攀登斷背山！

首位華人奧斯卡金像獎導演李安一段名言、一齣電影，帶出令人細味訊息，道盡同志們想愛而不敢愛的悵然、懊悔與無奈。銀幕况的「偉大愛情」確引起不少共鳴，然而當影迷離開李大導那座斷背山返回現實世界，試問還有多少人會把剎那感動化為永恒的支持和接受？

雖然《斷背山》不會改變社會對同性戀者的成見，惟電影熱潮，加上「名人基民」效應，卻令今年七月起緊接在芝加哥舉行的「第七屆Gay Games」，以及蒙特利爾展開的「第一屆World Outgames」已合共逾二萬人報名。

無可否認，同性戀者決定Come Out（出櫃－承認是同志），需要拿出極大勇氣，尤其是作為社會名人，「體壇同志」承受的壓力更重千萬倍，一代「跳水皇帝」盧根尼斯就是個最佳例子。不過，這位四面奧運金牌得主經過八八年奧運「血灑泳池」事件後，反而活得更豁然，並於九四年藉紐約Gay Games「出櫃」，今年更加入「同性戀者運動會大使」行列，跟樂壇巨星Elton John及多位前奧運獎牌得主等並肩推動同志體育。盧根尼斯下月底將率先在芝加哥主持「A Night of 100 Champions」Gay Games派對，與同志分享心路歷程。

除盧根尼斯外，網壇奇才娜華蒂露娃同樣是勇敢同志代言人，多年來致力爭取同性戀者人權的「女金剛」稍後將以「Circle of Champions」（冠軍社群）成員身份，於World Outgames開幕禮致詞：「蒙特利爾過去三年間不斷為同性戀者體育及文化活動建立全新形象，對整個社群未來發展揭開歷史一頁，能夠參與其中，我深感自豪。」

也許同志世界的愛情永遠蛆在斷背山上，但盧根尼斯及娜華蒂露娃卻用行動體現李安導演的心底話：「往往當你終於嘗到愛情滋味時，已經錯過了，這是最讓我悵然的！……」
