Tottenham lifts Barclays Asia Trophy

Tottenham won the Barclays Asia Trophy after comfortably beating Premier League rivals Hull 3-0 at Beijing's Workers Stadium.
A brace from captain Robbie Keane and a late Aaron Lennon strike secured the win in a game Spurs dominated for almost the full 90 minutes.

The performance will be especially pleasing for boss Harry Redknapp given the game was Tottenham's fourth in a week, while it capped impressive displays from his strikeforce following Jermain Defoe's winner against West Ham on Wednesday.

The Hammers ensured a positive finish to their trip to the Far East with a 2-0 win over Beijing Guoan in the third place play-off match. The Hammers took their time to impose their class on the game but finally went in front on 80 minutes when Danny Gabbidon broke clear of his marker to head home from Mark Noble's corner.

And Gianfranco Zola's men added shine to the victory with a second deep in stoppage time when Zavon Hines sprinted clear of the defence before firing a low shot underneath the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Sir Alex Ferguson changes United tactics

Sir Alex Ferguson intends to tweak Manchester United's tactics following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
The Old Trafford boss believes he needs to re-adjust the team's approach if they are to replicate the Portugal winger's scoring feats.
Ferguson has called on his players to get a century of goals next season when they will aim for their fourth successive title and another assault on the Champions League crown.

In an interview in Inside United, posted on manutd.com, Ferguson said: "Obviously Cristiano is a big loss in terms of the goals he gave us.
"But we will just have to find the goals from somewhere else and our tactics will adjust accordingly. Fans will see us playing a slightly different style of football this season."

Ferguson is now opting to use Wayne Rooney as a central striker, rather than playing him out wide, alongside either Michael Owen or Dimitar Berbatov.

Beyond the three main strikers, Ferguson is demanding an increased yield from midfield.

He said: "Usually you look to score about 100 goals in all competitions, so we are aiming for that again. If we are going to win the league again or do well in Europe we certainly need players to step up.
"Those goals from midfield have dried up a little in recent years, so we have to address that.
"I will be looking to (Ji-Sung) Park, Nani, (Luis Antonio) Valencia - even (Danny) Welbeck and (Federico) Macheda - to contribute 40 goals between them. The defenders will contribute a few from set-pieces too."

The feud between Mariah Carey ane Eminem is on now! Eminem has released a major diss track directed at Mariah Carey.

Eminem also slams Mariah Carey for mocking him in her latest music video, “Obsessed.”

“Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?/ Wow Mariah, didn’t expect ya to go b—s out./ B—h, shut the f— up before I put all those phone calls out/ When you was wilding out/ Before Nick, when you was on my di–,” he raps.

Londell McMillan and Diane Goodman. “We were all united in our goals to do what is best for Michael’s wonderful children, and both Mrs. Jackson and Debbie Rowe were on the exact same page.

Rowe’s lawyer, Eric George,added: “The parties engaged in a dignified discussion that resulted in a dignified outcome. The sole consideration between the parties was the best interests of the children. I’m proud to have worked with such professionals who represented Ms. Jackson, and I am particularly proud of Deborah for her integrity and selflessness.”

The custody agreement will be presented to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Monday. Both sides expect the custody deal to be approved.

Creepy Miley Cyrus Stalker Mark McLeod Released

An insanely creepy fan of Miley Cyrus’ was arrested for stalking her, but was then let go due to jail overcrowding. Read more below on what this freak had to say about Miley!

Mark McLeod told Georgia police that Miley sends him “secret messages” through her Hannah Montana television show. Scary huh?

Mark McLeod’s whereabouts are now unknown, and Disney execs fear for Miley’s safety. They are so concerned that McLeod may harm her, that they have alerted the LA police of his arrest and release in Georgia.

McLeod has been in the news before, and his obsession with Miley is well documented. In March he told the NY Daily News that he was her “No. 1 fan” while waiting to see her at a Midtown book signing, and said that he first saw her in concert last year and since then “I’ve kinda been watching everything she does.”

But on June 22 he was arrested in Tybee Island, Georgia near where Miley was filming her upcoming movie, “The Last Song.”

McLeod cursed at cops and allegedly tried to head-butt one officer while being handcuffed. McLeod screamed, “F— you and your rules!” And then said, “I will f**king be with Miley!”

He revealed to police that he had “thousands of pictures and letters to Miley on his computer” and had even mailed her diamond rings.

During the arrest he boasted to cops that he and Miley were “great friends”, and that “nobody will ever be able to keep us apart.”

Add to the craziness, McLeod says that Miley accepted his marriage proposal, and that her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, had given his blessing. He shrugged off her former romance with Nick Jonas, stating that “Miley is only with the Jonas brother for the press.”

McLeod was charged with a misdemeanor disorderly conduct and obstruction, and released a day later due to overcrowding.

Chatham County, Ga. Sheriff Al St. Lawrence said, “If we had heard something about this guy supposedly being a stalker … he wouldn’t have been released.”

Winehouse's dad faked heart attack to get her off drugs

Amy Winehouse's father Mitch has confessed he faked a heart attack in front of her formerly drug addict daughter to get her off heroin.

The 59-year-old former cabbie said he was desperate to get the 25-year-old singer out of drug hell before it took a nasty turn.

"I was at me wits end. I just didn't know which way to turn. I'd tried everything. I pretended I was seriously ill and even got our doctor to tell Amy that I was dying," The Mirror quoted him as saying.

"Once I even started screaming and said I was having a heart attack, but it didn't work. Amy's not stupid and she wanted to see my medical records proving I was actually ill," he added.

The "Rehab" hitmaker kicked her drug habit after her extended break in St Lucia.
