Enrique talks about relationship
Reportedly Enrique called THE SUN (well, normally hard to believe...) to clear up all the rumors from the last months. Quotes: "I’ve read lots of stories about girls I’m supposed to have slept with and it’s just not true."! Furthermore he obviously presented her with a £50,000 ring - but he's not planning to marry her (right now): "...I don’t think you have to be married to someone to be in love with them. I just believe in being in love." Full article

Anna in Leon: "My dream is to be able to play"
Thanx to "saff76ar" (member of official messageboard) here is the full english transcript of the Interview Anna gave in Leon (Spain) on December 7. Beside the "normal" talks about if she is tired of all that attention, how her glamour life is etc. THESE are really interesting quotes:
"I hate not knowing an exact date for my comeback"!
"there are a lot of medical solutions that can be taken" (surgery I guess is just one of them)
"My goal is to stay healthy to keep on enjoying this sport that I love so much"

On the Line's 2003 Year-end Awards: On the Line editors and writers present their year-end awards in 10 categories. The only one who gives one award to Anna Kournikova is Ed Toombs.

Anna in Miami / Anna at Enrique's XMAS show / Anna's Top 5 songs of 2003
In her latest Journal entry Anna talks about her trip to Europe (end of November till mid December). This sentence makes me sad: "I have always enjoyed our match-ups over the years on the WTA Tour" - it SOUNDS as if Anna won't return (but that's a misinterpretation I hope...)! At the end she says that she's currently in Miami for "a bit time off" - she will be spending X-Mas there with her family and friends! Full Journal Entry

PERSONAL COMMENT: Why don't you give an update about the status of your back, Anna??? We fans would really like to know that!!! Hopefully your back is getting better.

Anna at Enrique's XMAS show: Take a look at some pictures from Anna hanging out at the XMas show from Enrique in Miami!

Anna's Top 5 songs of 2003: At kournikova.com you can now find out what Songs Anna really liked throughout this year...! Guess what: The No.1 is "Not in Love" by Enrique!!! Plus: No.3 is "Addicted" by Enrique as well - does she really like his crap???

Anna was at the Orange Bowl / Enrique and Anna shopping / Anna & Enrique at Jingle Ball
Anna made a visit to the Orange Bowl, the Junior World Championships (Anna won this important title in 1995 and became world Junior No.1). Take a look at the pictures

Enrique and Anna shopping: Look at this picture of Anna and Enrique shopping in Miami a few days ago - I think both just don't look happy because both have hardly any private moment!

Anna & Enrique at Jingle Ball: Enrique gave a concert at the Jingle Ball on December 14. Anna was there, too! Pictures

Ranking News / Anna's back healing / sorry / Anna about Enrique in Leon / Enrique giving a huge tip / Enrique at Leno show / ENRIQUE TALKS ABOUT RELATIONSHIP
As of December 15, Anna is ranked 309th in Singles (-1 position) and 176th in Singles (-1 position as well.
Source is wtatour.com: Singles | Doubles

Anna's back healing: Obviously Anna's back is slowly healing :-))) This is a short phrase from an Interview in Leon (Spain), December 7:

Q: The injury that's kept you away from the courts, what secrets does it hide?

A: I've got a chronic disfunction in the lumbar zone, it can be corrected by reducing the physical activity. I can play 2 tournaments but surely would have to retire in the third one and that's not way of playing.

sorry: Unfortunately I was very busy this week so I couldn't make any updates :-((( But during the next 2 weeks there will be much more updates (Christmas holidays) so keep coming back to the Anna Kournikova Forever Site!

Anna about Enrique in Leon: This is what she reportedly said in Leon (Spain) on December 7 about Enrique: "I think that he's a perfect person. He has very talent, is a great person,has a BIG heart, he's wonderful, has a incredible sense of humour and is VERY handsome"!
Well, doesn't sound that both have split up... (but who really believed this gossip???)

Enrique giving a huge tip: Another british tabloid story...! A group member of Enrique Iglesias' band celebrated his birthday and they were in London's Pangaea Club. Reportedly Enrique spent hours watching at Danni Blaker (Canadian)! He should have given her a tip of 1000 british pounds!!! Read the whole story

Enrique at Leno show: Enrique was in the Jay Leno show on December 17. He sang a song and then he was asked if he dates Anna Kournikova. He said with a smile: "We are good. I get embarrased when I talk about stuff like this."

ENRIQUE TALKS ABOUT RELATIONSHIP: When you read the sentence above you really can think that the following Interview with Enrique Iglesias in the January 2004-issue of Glamour Magazine is almost completely fake! Enrique talks about his relationship with Anna - IN DETAIL!!! Remember the recent Paparazzi-pics with Anna & Enrique at the beach? That's just one thing he mentions - read

PERSONAL COMMENT: IF this is true and he really said all this then both have a wonderful relationship and they really love each other!

Enrique in love again??: This is a report from english tabloid Sunday Mirror...! What it is about? Enrique and his reportedly new girlfriend Monika Jakisic (Croatian model)!

Plus: I am planning to finally finalize the "Career Video 1996-2003".

What do YOU expect from the AKFS 2003 Special??? Suggestions???

Anna and Enrique - Leon: Reportedly Anna said at a press conference in Leon that she doesn't spend christmas with Enrique and that she also doesn't know what he plans to do! Spanish report | BILD-report about Leon

PERSONAL COMMENT: Well, Anna did never say anything about her relationship to Enrique and so we shouldn't assume that this is the truth. It isn't really important as well!

December 5, 2003
Anna & Enrique split up??? / Anna gave Nicole Kidman shoes? / new Kournikova?
Someone obviously told the US WEEKLY that Anna & Enrique split up (oh, how often did we hear that alreay...). Quote: "I jost got word that Enrique split up with Anna"! But reportedly the source (the pal) also said: "They break up all the time. They could be together by the time (magazine) comes out."

PERSONAL COMMENT: I saw a report called "Everything over?" at RTL's "Punkt 12"-show at 12:20am CET today! WATCH OUT - I am sure that there might be more reports like that on german TV today. Hints:
- "taff" on PRO7 (5:00-6:00pm CET)
- "Exclusiv" on RTL (6:30-6:40pm CET)
- "Blitz" on SAT1 (6:50-7:30pm CET)

Anna gave Nicole Kidman shoes?: According to the National Enquirer Anna gave Nicole Kidman her shoes??? Why??? Obviously Nicole Kidman wore the wrong ones and, surprise surprise, Anna came in (Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles I suppose) with Enrique. He obviously knows Nicole Kidman and introduced her to Anna! Then Anna should have said "Here, take my shoes - they're a perfect match. I'm in jeans, so I'll just go back up and get another pair."! full report

PERSONAL COMMENT: Isn't the National Enquirer something like the "American SUN"????

new Kournikova?: Well, articles about "the next Kournikova's" don't seem to stop! Read the latest one about (guess who?) - Maria Sharapova and Ashley Harkleroad (did you know that she reportedly currently dates Alex Bo

Ranking News / Focus TV about Anna @ Bambi / Anna to appear at "I'm a Celebrity"
As of December 1, Anna is ranked 310th in Singles (unchanged points) and in Doubles 174th (unchanged points as well)!
Source is wtatour.com: Singles | Doubles

Focus TV about Anna @ Bambi: On Sunday, November 30, I saw "Focus TV" on german TV channel PRO 7! They showed Anna backstage and even Alexander Klaws (winner of the first "Germany searchs the superstar"-contest on RTL (like "Star Search" in the USA)) talked about Anna Kournikova, how excited he was to see such a VIP...!
Additionally I found out who was sitting left from Anna in the first row: German actor Klaus Maria Brandauer!

Anna to appear at "I'm a Celebrity"?: Well, it's an ananova.com-story and doesn't sound very trustful at all - Anna is reportedly said to be under consideration to appear in the third series of the "I'm a Celebrity! Get me out of here"-show! It will be set in Australia and will begin in January! story

PERSONAL COMMENT: On the one hand hard to believe but on the other hand I couldn't imagine Anna to host a Award show (World Music Awards) 1 year ago as well...
