CAMILO VILLEGAS IS IN DA HOUSE!

Our patience during the Camilo Villegas drought has finally paid off. The 106th U.S. Open begins at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck tomorrow!

Our sexy lawn-kat Camilo Villegas is in full swing. Decked out in his usual Lindeberg garb, Villegas sent my libido out of control during the practice rounds yesterday, and today. The 5-day weather forecast predicts rain tomorrow! I ask all of you to pray to the Athlebrity gods not to rain on our parade. We need our fix, we need our Camilo crawl.

On Monday at Winged Foot, most of the 156 golfers were checking out the course layout designed by AW Tillinghast. This is the fifth time the classic AW Tillinghast design has hosted a U.S. Open. They’ve added a tremendous amount of yardage to almost every hole, which mean a more challenging course, and extra room for Camilo to crawl.

GARY PAYTON- A LIAR?
Raining on my Heat win last night is Gary Payton. The Heat Guard has officially entered the Mensa reject category. In 2002, Payton promised to donate $3M to his alma mater of Oregon State University to help fund a basketball practice facility. Problem is, Payton never made the donation. At the time, the donation was called the “largest one-time donation by any professional athlete to a college.” Payton, when confronted with his promise, said, “I don’t know. What do you want me to say?!? Call my agent. I don’t know what happened.” Payton’s agent Aaron Goodwin said, “There never was a promise. He did say he would look into making a donation. Then, the athletic director left and Gary [was traded by the Sonics].” Goodwin said that the $3M figure “did not come from Payton, but from OSU, which needed that amount to complete the project.” Whatever!

Dwyane Wade was on fire last night and tied a career playoff-high with 42 points. Miami escaped with a 98-96 win over the Mav’s last night. “I said, ‘I ain’t going out like this,”‘ Wade told his teammates.

During the telecast of the Finals Game the league debuted a global PSA for UNICEF’s “Unite For Children, Unite Against AIDS” campaign. The spot, which was filmed in English, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian and German, features Elton Brand, Paul Gasol, Lebron James, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and other NBA hotties. Its a fantastic spot and I get goose-bumps every time I watch it.

Flaunting his team, and his money, was Mark Cuban. Miami City Manager Joe Arriola heard yesterday that Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban “was parading around South Florida waterways with a Mavericks banner on his boat” prior to NBA Finals Game Three and had Cuban “busted by code enforcement.” OH! Arriola even went on the radio Tuesday afternoon to brag about his bust. “He’s not going to have ‘Go Mavs’ in this city. If he puts it up again I’m going to take his boat out of the city.” What is Cuban saying about this scandalous event? “I don’t have a boat,” Cuban said before the game. Cuban claims that the boat’s owner is a friend of his who was docking his yacht outside the arena. “I wish I did,” he said, laughing. “I would have my lawyers there.” I would have liked to see Cuban pick up some Mav’s fans and drag them behind the boat.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to sleep with my cell phone, and now I have it. Motorola today announced that it has signed church of Athlebritolgy God David Beckham to a three-year deal to serve as a global brand ambassador. The deal will kick off in Asia with ads and retail promotions at Motorola stores and distributors. As part of the deal, delicious and much needed Beckham content, such as screen savers and video clips, will be embedded in Motorola handsets.

Great advertising also coming from FIFA partner Gillette. Using the World Cup to launch its M3 Power Nitro razor, spots includes TV and print ads “that can be digitally customized to appeal to the 16 different markets where they will be placed.” The company also sponsors two field boards at World Cup matches and the favorite athlete balloting you see going on during the matches.

Athlebrity favorite English midfielder Steven Gerrard has my imagination going haywire as he stretches while David Beckham and Wayne Rooney walk by his fine-ass during a training session this morning. England will face Trinidad & Tobago tomorrow for their second game in group B. Wayne Rooney certainly looks fit to take the field tomorrow. I for one, have felt the loss of Rooney. If you are not familiar with his style of play, you’re gonna be blown away when you see this little bulldog in action.

SCARY FAN NOMINEE

A scary fan has his face painted with the Tunisian national colors.

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