Featured! (Most inspiring player this week)

What is the best way to drop a few pounds? Well exercise of course. But when Eddy Curry
of the NY Knicks discussed his recent dramatic weight loss, he explained that the most
effective part of his diet was giving up surgary soda and fruit juice. And it worked because he
looks great! Now he will be put to the test when he plays his first game of the season, back after
recovering from an injury, all of NYC is hoping he can revive his terrible team in the hopes they
actually win a game. - Miss Cin City


Score! (points for controversy)

People will do anything for publicity. It's so sad. And what happened to just being caught getting out of a limo with no drawers on? Do you really have to stoop as low and to make fun of a skin condition? Apparently so. The Miami Herald is reporting that the (self proclaimed) King of All Spanglish Media (wtf?) Enrique Santos claims he was wrongfully booted from Sammy Sosa's big birthday party at Miami hot spot Fountainebleau, for wearing make up to make him super dark - e.i. the doppelganger of Sammy Sosa.




Here is Sammy with green contacts after the use of a skin creme. And here is the "King" in makeup - I would have kicked him out and kicked his ass. - Miss Cin City














Vaca! (How and where to spend your much deserved post season)

Ah St. Barts. The perfect turquoise blue water that meets with the periwinkle clear blue sky.
Just
imagining this popular tourist destination makes me squirm in my cubicle chair and long

for a vacation of my own. And while I am at it, I will dream of having enough cash to rent my own private beach! That's right, pristine white sand that warms my feet as I walk along hand in hand with my "captain" of a boyfriend. So private and secluded. Well ok just a few paparazzi because hey I look hot in this mismatched bikini. Ok so you may have realized that I tried to turn my own life into the life of actress Minka Kelly. Her life is all about sports - from acting on "Friday Night Lights" to dating (come on - are they engaged or not??) Yankee Captain Derek Jeter. Aren't they having a blast??






Hopefully they will be looking at more than just each others eyes while in St. Barts. The architecture all over the island is reminiscent of the lines of the thatched roofs from Normandy, France. That is worthy of at least one digital photo Minka.


Open

Andre Agassi's autobiography Open sounds like a juicy and fascinating read. Agassi is very open
about his crystal meth use(!), marriage to Brooke, his hair piece (!!!) and his struggle as professional tennis player. I'm adding this to my Christmas list.

Here are a couple of quotes from the book:

"I’m a young man, relatively speaking. Thirty-six. But I wake as if ninety-six. After three decades of sprinting, stopping on a dime, jumping high and landing hard, my body no longer feels like my body, especially in the morning. Consequently my mind doesn’t feel like my mind. Upon opening my eyes I’m a stranger to myself, and while, again, this isn’t new, in the mornings it’s more pronounced. I run quickly through the basic facts. My name is Andre Agassi. My wife’s name is Stefanie Graf. We have two children, a son and daughter, five and three. We live in Las Vegas, Nevada, but currently reside in a suite at the Four Seasons hotel in New York City, because I’m playing in the 2006 U.S. Open. My last U.S. Open. In fact my last tournament ever. I play tennis for a living, even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion, and always have."


"Of course I could play without my hairpiece. But after months of derision, criticism, mockery, I'm too self-conscious," he wrote. "Image Is Everything? What would they say if they knew? Win or lose, they wouldn't talk about my game. They'd only talk about my hair. I can close my eyes and almost hear it. And I know I can't take it."



Hollywood and Sports
Believe it or not, there was another movie that opened this weekend besides that vampire/werewolf movie (which I may or may not have watched) The Blind Side tells the true story of Balitmore Raven Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youth, taken in by a well-to-do white family. It's gotten good reviews and it is a pretty amazing story. But everytime I saw the preview, I groaned. Sandra Bullock looked and sounded like she was trying to hard and I didn't like her character. Here's the trailer, what do you think? -MsAngeles
