HERE KITTY KITTY
Camilo Villegas has finally gotten his fine self back on the green at the Wachovia Championships this week. Our favorite Columbian completed his first round of play yesterday and finished 27th place with two over par. Villegas bogied four times, birdied twice, and crawled across my lap more than once.

I came across a delicious interview of Camilo Villegas in which the sexy lawn cat discussed his clothes-you know, the clothes we want to rip off his body? Camilo likes to wear things that make him comfortable and doesn’t necessarily sport a “classic” PGA Tour look- thank god. “I try to be myself,” purred Villegas, who is also reported to be very organized. Camilo hangs up all his gear according to color and style and, get this- even numbers his socks! “I spread all my stuff out and match this with that,” he said. “That includes my belts. For two weeks, I might take 10 belts…Oh, I have lots of nice shoes,” Villegas said. “I match those up, too…I don’t want to be known for what I wear,” he said. “I want to be known for playing good golf. I don’t want fans to come out and talk about my clothes. I want fans to talk about my golf.” Oh, indeed we are talking Camilo. And it ain’t about your golf or your clothes. Just crawl baby crawl!

LANCE ARMSTRONG

Lance Armstrong deserves all the love. This week’s SI features Lance Armstrong with three cancer survivors on the cover. The headline “Lance Now: Attacking His New Career Like He Did The Tour De France And Closing Ground On Cancer; He’s Becoming A Political Force Unlike Any Other Athlete In History.” Need I say more?

PISTONS DINE ON BUCKS

The Detroit Pistons ate the Milwaukee Bucks for dinner last night as the hot ballers from Motown handed out a 122-93 spanking. The Pistons’ Ben Wallace and his edible arms will play the winner of the Cleveland-Washington series.

THERE IS ONLY ONE KING JAMES

Yes, he is only 21 years-old, and he is royalty. King Lebron James delivered a lay-up with less than a second left in overtime last night and put Cleveland up 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Demanding Athlebrity love, King James scored 45 points, made 17 of 18 free throws and showed us what the hype is all about. The Washington Wizards put up one hell of a fight last night against Cleveland, so don’t count them out just yet.

MISSION RETARDED

Paramount Pictures has signed a sponsorship deal with the NBA to promote “Mission: Impossible III,” with the movie taking over the league’s Web site for 24-hrs tomorrow. The NBA created this “digital roadblock” to promote the opening of the movie, which stars the “digitally road-blocked” actor Tom Cruise. Cruise also appears on the May cover of G.Q. magazine, which features “The All Stars of NBA Style” including LeBron James and Steve Nash looking mighty hot.

THE NY MET’S PARTNER UP WITH BARBADOS

Let’s go to the islands…The Barbados Tourism Authority has signed on with the New York Mets, to promote the Caribbean island at home and away games. The hot partnership includes a chance for New York Mets fans to win all-expense paid trip giveaways to Barbados each season. The “Mets Lucky Home Run Inning presented by Barbados” will provide one lucky fan the chance to win a free trip to Barbados when a Mets hottie hits a homer during the designated inning. A single contestant is randomly selected among the fans in attendance at all 81 games played at Shea Stadium. Fans watching the locally broadcast road games can also participate by registering online at www.sny.tv/barbados. The BTA is also inviting Mets Season Ticket Holders to an exclusive New York Mets-themed weekend in Barbados. The offer comes with a one-of-a-kind gift bag packed with New York Mets souvenirs, a voucher redeemable for two free tickets to a future Mets game and Mets autographed memorabilia. A hot New York Mets player will also treat participants to a special appearance during the weekend-long festivities. And yes, I would love to go, thanks for asking.

IT’S COBI WITH A “C”
Sexy Los Angeles Galaxy striker Cobi Jones will team up with Max Bretos, Nick Webster and Christopher Sullivan as co-host of this Friday’s edition of “Passport to Germany.” Jones will also share his expert commentary and thoughts on the 2006 FIFA World Cup’s Group E, which features teams from Italy, Ghana, Czech Republic and the United States. Jones currently ranks as the Galaxy’s all-time leader in games played (234) and goals (62). During his 14 years with the U.S. Men’s National Team, Cobi Jones was one of only two players to have played every minute of the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup. He holds the record as the U.S. Men’s National Team’s most capped player with 164 game appearances, and as one of the hottest athletes to kick a ball.

“Passport to Germany” focuses on the 32 nations that have qualified for the 2006 World Cup. Each week, the show analyzes each country’s hotties, how they qualified and what their chances are to win it all. It’s a great program if you need a little eye-candy and World Cup tips. Catch Cobi Friday, May 5 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern/5:00 p.m. Pacific.

BAD MOVE FOR BARRY BONDS?

SNAC System, a supplement company formed by BALCO Founder Victor Conte, continues to use Barry Bonds’ likeness to market nutritional supplements. SNAC’S website features a photo of Conte with his arms around a smiling Bonds and Bonds’ personal trainer, Greg Anderson. Bonds said, “I didn’t even know he had a Web site at all. I don’t have any problems with it. I don’t even know (Conte) that well. I don’t. There are other people who use Barry Bonds on Web sites for all kinds of stuff. Why should that be any different?”

BOYD TINSLEY COMPOSING FOR WIMBLEDON

Boyd Tinsley, the happy, 420 friendly violinist for the Dave Matthews Band, has been selected to compose the theme music for ESPN’s coverage of Wimbledon.

That’s it for now. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
