David Beckham enjoys being with the lads.  You would too if you were married to a robot who spends most of her computational power deciding which shoes go best with her inhumanly gigantic breasts.

I’m starting to believe Carrie Prejean, aka Miss California 2009 and the runner-up in the recent Miss USA pageant, is some kind of marketing genius.  Already the young woman has gotten her face and name all over the television by making controversial remarks about gay marriage during the aforementioned pageant, remarks that cheesed off Miss USA judge and gossip blogger Perez Hilton, and now Miss Prejean – who by the way, ain’t hard to look at either – is courting further media attention by hooking up with Olympic hero and cannabis fan Michael Phelps.  Who says a ditz from a [...]

Who does more damage to a door:  A SWAT guy with a battering ram or Ray Lewis in pads and a helmet?  Not to spoil the surprise, but…well, let’s just say, much like in Atlanta a few years ago, Ray fought the law and Ray won.  Actually, the door was the big loser here. (source: Shutdown Corner)

Various websites, including The Big Lead, are reporting that oft-injured Lakers big man Andrew Bynum has been seen around town in the company of one Robyn Fenty, better known as Rihanna.  Now, if Andrew were just a normal NBA baller out for some action, and Rihanna just a run-of-the-mill R&B songstress with a thing for athletes, this would not be much of a story.  Bynum and Rihanna, however…let’s just be nice and say the two of them are toting some baggage these days, and the potential intermixture of said baggage is what gives these rumors their heat. Not that there’s [...]

I wouldn’t normally post such a tall picture, but this time I had to make an exception, lest the full glory of Lady Gaga be inadequately conveyed.  Give it up for that little girl:  she goes all-out.

The new Yankee Stadium has been hailed as a high-tech baseball cathedral, a place that seamlessly blends the old and the new, the traditional and the expensively convenient.  And, after four games and 20 home runs, it is also being called a bandbox, and a wind-tunnel, and – mostly by Yankee pitchers like Chien-Ming Wang – other names I can’t repeat (Chinese swears are hard to type as well as offensive).  This homer friendliness has come as something of a shock to Yankee officials who believed they were exactly recreating the conditions of old Yankee stadium, a place where power [...]

The Cowboys and Redskins have had many an epic battle on the gridiron, and now the two storied franchises may be ready to take their warfare onto the field of head coach hiring as well.  The prize?  Mike Shanahan, the man who won two Super Bowls for the Denver Broncos (with John Elway as his quarterback, and none with anyone else as his quarterback).  PFT’s ever-provocative Mike Florio prophesied the coming War to Land Shanahan the other day, saying: As the Washington Redskins continue to prepare for the second year of the Jim Zorn era, we’re hearing ongoing chatter that, [...]

Ray Allen has gotten going faster in this playoffs than he did in last year’s playoffs. That’s good, because I really wasn’t looking forward to another month of people arguing whether he was done.
