Bar Refaeli attended a soccer game yesterday between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Nou Camp stadium in Barcelona, Spain.

Bar looked stylish in her tight jeans, blue jean top, and leather jacket.

Good news, fellas! Shakira is single!

Bad news ladies. Her Spanish soccer stud ex-boyfriend, Gerard Pique, is a CHEATER!

Word is the FC Barcelona player cheated on the 34-year-old Colombian singer with a younger woman while she was away from Spain.

Ugh! We don't get it. This guy has one of the most beautiful international music sensations and he can't keep it in his pants?

Our heart goes out to Shakira because infidelity sucks, but at least she had the good sense to kick Gerard's butt to the curb when she discovered he was willing to drop his pants Whenever, Wherever.

Now Shakira can finally find a man who TRULY appreciates her for all she's worth!

He won't be playing in the big leagues anytime soon, but Real Madrid has signed 7-year-old Argentinian soccer prodigy Leonel Angel Coira to their youth academy.

Leonel or "Leo" will be playing on the club's "Benjamin" squad, which is made up of kids under 9-years-old. Although most young players signed to clubs do not make it professionally, Leo hopes to follow in the footsteps of his idol and two-time World Player of the Year, Lionel Messi, who played on Barcelona's youth team until reaching major league success. The young prodigy told reporters:

In Spain, at least!

Bike-sharing programs, which have popped up in cities around the world, will definitely save users money and kill a couple hundred more calories in their body, but recent research has found they will save lives too!

A study published in the British Medical Journal last week showed Barcelona's bike-sharing program not only saved 9,000 tons of pollution from carbon dioxide, but saved 12 lives per year due to the extra heart-healthy exercise.

Despite a VERY SMALL increase in deaths from bike-related traffic accidents (0.03 deaths) and air pollution (0.13), the overall health benefits of physical activity for the 180,000 cyclists using the program outweighed the risks.

We can't advocate bike-sharing programs enough and think they are wonderful!

We've said it before and we'll say it again, do not wait for a city-sponsored program to pop up near you to start benefiting from the healthy exercise this form of transportation has to offer!
