Weekend Wrap Up

I've been having some laptop issues again so sorry that I have fallen behind a bit. However, since I already had much of this post written I demand that you read it and pretend it's all brand new information to you. Here we go....

Novak Djokovic won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open this weekend beating France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets. I was able to catch the tape delayed showing on Sunday and yowsers....Novak is not a popular guy Down Unda but he seems okay with that....

The Florida Gators anniliated the 14th-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores at the O-Dome on Sunday afternoon 86-64. They were winning by a score of 36-4 at one point early in the first half when absolutely everything was dropping for the young Gators. All five starters scored in the double digits and Walter Hodge had a career-high 19 points. The win pushed the Gators back into the AP Rankings (20) for the first time since November. They are off until Saturday when the travel to Arkansas for another big SEC game. The Gators were on a big momentum roll after rattling off three straight wins. They now sit a half point ahead of Tennessee in SEC East division.

In other college b-ball news, Pitt fell five spots to 18 after a horrible 77-64 loss at home to last place Rutgers on Saturday. Coach Dixon reportedly put the players through a rigorous contact practice this afternoon to prepare them for #18 Villanova tomorrow night. In contrast, the Lady Panthers continued their winning ways taking care of St. Johns and Rutgers last week. Along with powerhouse UConn and Rutgers they remain undefeated in the Big East and are ranked 14th in the AP poll, their highest ranking ever.

Not usually a big ice skating fan but this guy is cute and reportedly straight so I have a chance...and he won the US Figure Skating Championship on Sunday. Therefore, I will give him a shout out....welcome Evan Lysacek.

While most people were concerned with Tom Brady's walking boot and his brusque manner with the media, I'm most flabbergasted that he was taking Gisele CARNATIONS! I know he took a pay cut and all that but seriously Tom! If he would have watched Sex in the City (you know, since his baby mama was on it) he would know carnations are nothing more than filler flowers.

Speaking of Tom Brady, we are well into Super Bowl week. It's amazing how apathetic one can become when their team is not involved.

Staying on our loser boyfriend roll, check this out. All those Romo dumps Jessica rumors appear to be bullshizz as Tony serenaded Jess with a little Journey last night. Not sure what was more entertaining...the entire club calling Tony the "p" word or Jessica looking completely uncomfortable being on stage. No wonder she can't make it as a singer.


Just when that little cheeseball Brody Jenner started to grow on me he totally ruins it by hooking up with Lohan. You just can't trust a guy who has anyone named "Brittany Canada whore" on their iPhone can ya? Apparently the paps were on a smoke break since no one actually got a picture of them "all over each other" or leaving the club together. That's him in the Nirvana-esque flannel. First Nicole Richie and now Lindsay....does he wait outside rehab or what? Ewwww wait....here's some video of them leaving, get this...The Box....insert your own joke here.

I suppose I should make mention of Brit-Brit since we are into Day 2 of some kind of intervention by her friends and family. I did see her pap boy toy Adnan Ghalib spilling the beans on Entertainment Tonight all weekend long. Apparently she broke down crying last night in the only way she knows how...in full view of the paparazzi. It's being reported that Daddy AND Mama Spears is involved along with her ever present Middle Eastern Posse. TMZ.com is live streaming from outside her home if you care.


UPDATE: She was out and about pre-invention for what else....some coffee. What she didn't have time to pick up a new puppy today? I wonder if during the next phase of the intervention they can tell her those freakin boots need to go.




Well, here's a little something to lift our spirits....New Kids on the Block may be reuniting! Well, we atleast have NKO since Jonathan(the "not as attractive" brother) and Danny (the ugly one) were not seen. The three were seen catching a flight to Orlando, otherwise known as Mecca to boy banders. Get out those oversized buttons, I smell a reality show!

In all seriousness I was in my heavy metal phas as New Kids took over the world so other than the played out "Step By Step" and "Hangin Tough" I am pretty unfamiliar with their music. Fortunately we have You Tube these days so I can gain a full appreciation of their musical genious.

This was an actual comment posted in response to this video:

"Nowadays many singers just have one or two good songs and is not a big problem. This album is excellent, just they needed a better promotion. Besides, Jon was exhausted. NKOTB was very succesfull and always would be."

You are so right eriestrema, so right.
