JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — David Villa scored with seven minutes left Saturday to give Spain a 1-0 win over Paraguay and its first ever appearance in the World Cup semifinals.The Associated Press
The ball fell to Villa in the area after Pedro Rodriguez hit the post. The Spain striker took one touch before curling a shot that hit both posts before going in.
Villa's tournament-leading fifth goal set up a semifinal match against Germany in Durban on Wednesday.
Paraguay's defence mostly kept Spain's vaunted attack at bay, and both teams' best chance to win in normal time came from the penalty spot.
Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas saved a 59th-minute penalty kick by Oscar Cardozo before Paraguay captain Justo Villar matched him from a retaken effort by Xabi Alonso two minutes later.

Kelis: ‘Everything is Fine With Ex-Husband Nas’
The Milkshake hitmaker — who raises son Knight, 11 months, with the rapper — says the former couple have put their differences aside after settling their bitter divorce battle.
“Everything’s fine. We are divorced, but there is no point to fighting — there is nothing to fight about,” she said. “I am super happy; my life is awesome. We are friends, we get along now and it’s all good.
“After the split, everyone was like, ‘You are going through a rough time, you should write something personal.’ I wear my feelings on my sleeve.
“The hardest decisions are the best ones and for me that was really the case. I am definitely better today than I was a year ago. And I’ll be better next year.”
Robert Pattinson “Flat Broke” Before Twilight
The British actor — who shot to fame playing vampire Edward Cullen in the smash hit film franchise — says he almost quit acting because he needed to find a way to pay his bills.
“I was flat broke,” he said. “If you say you’re an actor and you’re going to auditions and not getting parts, you’re not an actor.”
Rob, 24, recently joked that he wants to start his own religion.
“I definitely want to record an album, direct a film and start my own religion,” he told the German edition of Glamour magazine.
“Well, I definitely wouldn’t have to pay taxes anymore.”
KRISTEN STEWART SAYS HER FIRST LOVE WAS “THE BEST LOVE”
The Twilight Saga actress — who is rumored to be dating her costar Robert Pattinson – admits she is still plagued with thoughts about her first boyfriend, even though she was left devastated by their split.
“Everybody says the first cut if the deepest. It’s so true. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the best love, but it’s the first that you remember,” she said.
“There is one boy that I will remember for the rest of my life, and I wouldn’t go as far as to say, ‘Oh I was in love with him and he broke my heart’. You hold on to that, just that first experience, it’s good to have and you should appreciate it, even if it hurts.”
Despite being known for her aversion to fame, Kristen admits one of the biggest perks of her job is her involvement in the fashion industry and access to beautiful clothes. (more…)
HEATHER LOCKLEAR COMPLETES 30-DAY REHAB STINT
ACTRESS Heather Locklear has spent the past month battling her demons — she’s just completed a 30-day, in-patient rehab program for prescription drugs.
According to TMZ, the Melrose Place actress successfully completed the program and is “doing great.”
Sources say Locklear’s decision to seek treatment had nothing to do with her April arrest for hit-and-run.
HUGH LAURIE TO RAISE A SMILE IN THE NEXT SEASON OF HOUSE?
The British actor says his famously grumpy character in the TV show House might be happy in its next season.
Dr. Gregory House will find love with Lisa Cuddy — and in the season premiere, the couple will be seen laughing, and canoodling on the beach.
“Even the appearance of happiness [in House] has taken some getting used to,” Laurie told Entertainment Weekly magazine.
“I had a week of happiness training before the season started up, and I’m whistling more than usual.
“I’ve always thought of House as a romantic, and I don’t think romantics are much given to comparing.
“But speaking as a friend of House, he seems to be attracted to strong women. He likes to get as good as he gives—and I mean that in as many senses as are suitable for a family readership.”
Laurie has previously revealed how he thought House would fail — and he lived in a hotel room because he was too nervous to buy his own pad. (more…)
CARRIE PREJEAN GETS MARRIED TO NFL STUD BOYFRIEND
The onetime beauty queen wed her NFL stud boyfriend Kyle Boller in a lavish ceremony in San Diego Friday night.
The couple held their nuptials at Capella Church, located inside the Grand Del Mar Hotel in the bride’s beachy California hometown, in a 25-minute ceremony surrounded by friends and family, according to E! News.
“It was beautiful,” a source said. “They had cocktails on the lawn right after. Everyone seemed really happy.”
Prejean walked down the aisle in a one-shoulder mermaid-style gown while Boller and his fellow groomsmen wore traditional black tuxedos.
Boller, 29, and Prejean, 23, became engaged in February, and have been together since last July.
Prejean first received nationwide attention for an answer she gave during the 2009 Miss USA pageant, in which she stated her belief that marriage should be solely defined as a union between a man and a woman.
A public battle with the producers of the Miss California USA pageant ended in her contract being terminated in June 2009, with K12 productions citing “continued breach of contract issues” as the reason for the termination.
BETTY WHITE TO QUIT HOLLYWOOD OVER SEX PICTURE RUMORS??
Sources say the Hollywood legend is furious that the old rumor she has X-rated pictures with her late husband, TV legend Allen Ludden, is doing the rounds again.
“Betty has said all along her comeback seemed too good to be true,” a source close to the 88-year-old told American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“Being dragged into some lurid debate over whether she was ever photographed making love to her dear, departed Al makes her wonder if it’s all worth it.
“She denies there’s any photos, but just the idea tarnishes her memories of her time with the love of her life. It’s like the last straw.
“This could make her retire. She’s absolutely disgusted.” (more…)
VICTORIA BECKHAM URGED TO STICK TO FASHION!!
The former Spice Girls star has been advised by Dane Bowers — whom she collaborated with on the 2000 True Steppers single Out of Your Mind — not to return to the pop industry as her work as a designer is much better than her musical talent.
“I think she should stick to fashion design but she’d probably say that herself,” Dane said. “The whole fashion thing is definitely where her future lies.”
However, the 31-year-old singer insisted Victoria has more vocal ability than she is given credit for.
“She’s the first person to say that she’s no Mariah Carey but she can hold a tune,” he said. “You don’t make it as far as the Spice Girls did if you can’t sing at all”.
Recent reports claimed Victoria — who raises three young sons with her soccer hunk husband David Beckham — is holding up plans for a new Spice Girls reunion.
“The girls are so excited. They are buzzing about getting back together and each have so many new ideas and so much to bring to the table,” a source said last month.
“They are desperate to get Posh on board, but that is the sticking point. Although she’s still so nostalgic about the good old days, she has moved on now and is relishing the fashion world.
“They don’t want to give up on her, but have so many plans. The way things are going they might have to go on without her if she doesn’t come round soon.”
Alexander Skarsgard Scared of Fame
ALEXANDER Skarsgard admits fame is “scary”.The 33-year-old actor had his first taste of success at 13 after he appeared in The Dog That Smiled and admits the attention he received afterward almost made him quit acting for good.
“It made feel self-conscious, and I couldn’t deal with it. I didn’t like people recognizing me. Fame was scary,” he said. “When people stared at me in the street, it got confusing. It made me really uncomfortable. Then when I was 20, I decided to give acting one last go.”
Since getting back into acting, the Swedish True Blood heartthrob has also starred in Lady GaGa’s music video for Paparazzi – where he played her boyfriend who attempted to kill her — and has revealed it’s something he would like to do more of because it caused such a sensation.
“You can work on a movie for three months and no one sees it, then you do something like that for six hours and that’s what people talk about,” he said.
“That’s my new career. I’m just going to quit acting and do music videos from now on!”
