RAFAEL PULLS OUT

What’s going on with Rafael Nadal? The delicious Spaniard has now pulled out of another tournament. This time, the sexy beast has pulled out of next week’s Mercedes Cup. Rafi’s agent sent an e-mail to tournament organizers today saying that Nadal had to drop out because of “problems in the left hand.” Perhaps his uneventful car accident hurt him more than reported? Or perhaps he’s developed carpel tunnel from playing with his “racket” too much? I, of course, am willing to help in any way possible.

VINCE SPADEA DELIVERS PG-13 BOOK

Tennis stud Vince Spadea has co-authored a book: “Break Point: The Secret Diary of a Pro Tennis Player.” In this “tell-all” book, Spadea serves up the scoop on other tennis hotties and gives us “PG-13 stories about the women he meets on tour.” Boring- where’s the X-rated version.

THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE

So many Blakes, so little time…New York native, Thomas Blake, participated in the World Team Tennis Mixed Doubles Match at Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck yesterday. Hottie plays for the Boston Lobsters, and with that said, my imagination spiraled to Marlon Brando’s infamous Last Tango in Paris quote “Get the Butter”….

COVER-KAT CAMILO VILLEGAS
For those of you who haven’t rushed out to get the August edition of Cigar Aficionado magazine, you’re missing out.

Camilo’s cover boy pose is sure to boost the sales of this magazine through the roof. And is just me, but why do so many men’s publications ignore the fact that many women read them as well? I’ve been “reading” GQ since I was five, and I can tell ya, mens mags are where it’s at. This particular Camilo Villegas edition of “The Good Life Magazine for Men.” is a must for any “sporno” collector, such as myself. Villegas seduces us on the cover with the header: Is This The Next Tiger Woods?…. along with the appropriate tag line “The Rise of Camilo Villegas.” Unfortunately, they discuss his rise in the golf world. The article is as long and delicious as our lawn-kat. It describes Villegas as somewhat compulsive when it comes to organizing his stuff- as we found out in another interview- he likes to number his socks to keep the pair in tact. He is also described as humble, easy going, sensational, and possessing the “It” factor. The “It” factor is the number one reason for choosing Villegas as our golf tutor. And he knows it. “I don’t have any idea how many people out there had no clue as to what is a par, birdie, putting green. It was golf with a soccer crowd. You could see all the Columbian flags. People yelling and screaming for me. So I clapped my hands for them.” And what did the astute designer Lindeberg say about our hottie? “I am always studying golf and I thought he was the best looking golfer ever. His arms, his eyes, his looks.” What else is there to say…

Our sexy Lindeberg wearing kat is currently purring his way through the John Deere classic. He completed round one at 2-under, and has just started crawling round two. Once again, I revert to my Wondertwin powers and beg to be transformed into…the form of…. a banana.

AMERICAN CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNEY

If in fact I could become a banana, I’d be a very busy girl. Lance Armstrong, Chris Webber, Charles Barkley and Ben Roethlisberger all competed in a practice round of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship event yesterday in Stateline, Nevada. Webber and Athlebrity Barkley are attempting to determine who is the worst golfer outta the 81 hotties competing this weekend. They go double or nothing starting today, on the $50,000 bet Webber won last year for finishing third-to-last compared to Barkley’s second-to-last in the 54-hole tournament.

WORLD CUP DRAMA

Smoking hot Team Italy stud, Marco Materazzi went before the disciplinary commission at the FIFA Headquarters today following claims made by Mensa reject Zidane in reference to the world famous head-butt during the WC final. Aside from a lame apology to “the children who watched” Zidane continues to deny any responsibility for his actions. Materazzi has acknowledged insulting ZZ and perhaps called his mama a “whore”, but come on, get over it already. I will never forgive ZZ for being such an ass, but I do thank him for keeping WC fever alive…Speaking of hot Italians…Italian league Juventus’ hotties Fabio Cannavaro and Alessandro Del-icious Piero will be sent to the Italian second division, according to the Gazetta dello Sport newspaper. I’m not even going to try to explain the various leagues and teams in Italy, or Europe for that matter. It’s a massive cluster of hottie filled athletes and I will do my best to serve you up the edible treats who litter the league.

Case in point…. Argentinean Franco Costanzo. Hola! This fabulous addition to Athlebrities poses with his new jersey as new goalkeeper of Swiss soccer team FC Basel. I don’t think I have to elaborate on his appeal.

GAY GAMES VII KICKS OFF IN CHICAGO

I can only imagine the party that’s going down in Chicago this weekend. Half naked, hot, cut, tone and edible athletes and fans will converge for the Gay Games, which opens tomorrow. The event has already drawn more than $10M in sponsorships from a record 317 companies. Any of my readers who attend, I would love, love, love to hear your experiences and see some naughty photos.

ITALIAN TEAM DOLCE AND GABBANA AD’S
I have received hundreds of requests for those “sporno” worthy D&G Italian Team ads. They are posted on my blog dated June 15th and a permanent link has been added on the right.

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