CAMILO VILLEGAS TRACKER
Camilo Villegas is currently crawling the lawns during the Bank of America Colonial at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth Texas. The tournement runs through the 21st, and the sexy beast has also committed to play in next week’s FedEx St. Jude Classic at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee (25th through June 8th )

On Tuesday, Craftsman Truck Series driver Brendan Gaughan had his hands full of hot PGA Tour players. Gaughan, who won a record four consecutive Craftsman Truck Series races at TMS exchanged “track tips” for “pointers” from the hot golfers. Ten PGA hotties took time off between last week’s Byron Nelson and this week’s Bank of America Colonial to visit Texas Motor Speedway and drive Nextel Cup Series cars in the Team Texas High Performance Driving School. The PGA hotties included in Kenny Perry, Bernhard Langer, Dean Wilson, Tim Petrovic, Tom Pernice Jr., Steve Jones, Mathias Gronberg, Scott Hend and Camilo Villegas. Camilo Villegas and Hend took turns showing Gaughan how to launch the ball the length of pit road. Villegas launched a hot drive estimated at 350 yards. “If they could take a picture of me swinging and then cut right to the balls flying in the air like Camilo hit it, then I would love that,” Gaughan said after watching Villegas “This is the fun part of being a professional athlete. Some days you get to go do the other guy’s stuff…I am awful at golf. So to see these pros come out here and laugh and talk and then grab a club and swing and — pow! — hit it 300 yards; that is amazing to watch.” The unofficial fastest laps of the day at 135 mph were turned in by Austin, Villegas and Gronberg.

FROM BALL BOYS TO ESPN

I don’t wanna be a hater, but Maria Sharapova gets way too many perks. Mainly, she got to choose which hot male models would be ball boys for the Sony Ericsson Women’s Tennis Championships. Now, an ESPN promo featuring MS will debut on Monday. In the spot, called “Seating Arrangements,” ESPN anchor John Anderson is “unwilling to let [anchor] Stan Verrett sit in the seat Anderson is saving for Stuart Scott. However, just before Scott appears with his lunch tray, Anderson gives the seat to Sharapova.” On June 19, prior to Wimbledon, two “identical spots” with Sharapova and Roger Federer will debut. Each features Scott “offering a free can of tennis balls to the player … who is startled to learn it’s a gag can filled with fake snakes.”

RED HOT NASCAR PEPPERS

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will wear not so hot custom-designed Simpson race suits when they perform at Lowe’s Motor Speedway this Saturday night as part of the NASCAR Nextel Cup All-Star Challenge.

The band will perform between the first and second race segments.

KWAME BROWN SEXUAL ASSAULT UPDATE
Weeks ago, Lakers center Kwame Brown was the subject of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault. As of today, Brown is still not off the hook. “The investigation’s continuing and we’re not going to release any information until such a time that there’s either an arrest or a prosecution,” said the po-po. Police admitted on May 2 that they were investigating a report of a sexual assault alleged to have occurred on April 29 after the Lakers beat Phoenix in Game 3 of their NBA playoff series. Police did not say when the report was filed or by whom.. Brown, 24, declared his innocence in a statement issued through the Lakers’ office May 2. “I want to assure everyone that I am completely innocent of any wrongdoing and look forward to the truth coming out when this matter is fully investigated,” Brown said.

ARSENAL WAS ROBBED

Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann walks from the field after a red card during their Champions League final soccer match against Barcelona outside Paris yesterday. Arsenal lost while the skies opened up and wept during the game. Fans and players didn’t seem to pay any attention to the downpour, until perhaps the last few minutes of the match when Barcelona pulled two goals out of their asses and washed away the tears of victory from the faces of Arsenal fans. I will not give any love to Barcelona or Ronaldinho.

WHITE IS STILL GOLD

Athlebrity golden-boy-snowboarder Shaun White remains hot. White has inked an exclusive, private autograph signing deal with Grandstand Sports & Memorabilia. Costs will range from $99 for a signed 8-by-10 “Vertical Air” or “Olympic Medal Podium” photo to $119 for an autographed “Amplitude” SI cover. An autographed official Burton helmet costs $299, while an autographed official Shaun White model boot is $499. Does this mean he won’t sign autographs if we meet him on the street? Unlikely, Whites a good kid with a great reputation.

LANCE LOBBIES FOR CANCER FUNDING

More love for Lance. Yesterday, the Lance Armstrong Foundation was in DC and “brought in two people from each state — most of them cancer survivors or caregivers — to lobby their congressional representatives for more cancer research funds.” Let’s not get our hopes up, the monkey running the show, President Bush said: “We want to thank all the dudes and dudesses of the snowboarders who are here.” Hey- I didn’t vote for him.

PINK BATS ARE NOT COOL

Do we have a possible Mensa reject on our hands? D’Backs Johnny Estrada loved those Mothers Day pink bats so much that after driving in three runs with a Pinkie, Estrada asked to continue using the bat in upcoming games! Thank god his request was turned down by MLB. Estrada: “They said they only approved them for one day, so they didn’t let me.”

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