DOUBLE WHAMMY

Gotta give props to the MLS All Stars who took on Chelsea yesterday in Chicago. I was one of the many who thought Chelsea would school our boys. Admittedly, I was wrong. I wont make the usual excuses such as Chelsea was tired from a week long training camp or that they were playing with a new roster, I’ll just say great job to both teams. Even sexy Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho stated: “ The team is tired and the other team looks sharp and fresh, it makes it difficult for us.” The All Stars won 1-0 on a goal delivered by MVP Dwayne De Rosario. Some advice for De Rosario, cut the hair and wax the brows, pa-leeze, they distract us from your beautiful face.

KOBE CAUGHT WITH A TRANSVESTITE

Tainting Los Angeles this weekend was Brazilian “superstar” Ronaldinho. Of course, Kobe had nothing better to do than make an appearance alongside him at the Nike European Club Champion FC Barcelona Rally at Hollywood and Highland. FC Barcelona will play three games this month as part of the club’s first U.S. Tour since 2003. Barca will play in Los Angeles today, Houston on Wednesday, and in New York on Saturday, Aug. 12.

WO XIANG YAO NA GE!

The USA Men’s Senior National Team have safely landed in China. After a grueling flight from San Francisco, and sitting in coach class, Dwyane Wade needed a wheel chair to regain his strength.

(L) Gilbert Arenas, Shane Battier, Antawn Jamison, LeBron James and Brad Miller attended a welcome reception for the China Basketball Challenge 6, while LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade receive a welcome gift.

They may look fine in suits, by I must say, they look better without them. Of note, Carmelt-in-my-mouth-Anthony. Melo is so gonna get it one day…you cant expect sporn worthy photos to go unnoticed by my libido. Look at Melo, mamas coming.

I really hope this guy boss catches wind of this photo. He’s yawning? Are you kidding me? F-I-R-E-D.

SUPER FLY ITALIANS

Let me introduce you to the Italian National Basketball Team. The hotties spanked the Germans 70-65 during the Basketball Super Cup in Berlin…and soaking us with sex appeal are the Italian swimmers. Say hello to Italy’s Gold medallists (from L to R) Filippo Magnini, Massimilio Rosolino, David Berbotto and Nicolas Cassio. These sleek boys won their men’s 4x 200m freestyle final during the 28th LEN European swimming championship in Budapest.

CROUCHING TIGER, CRAWLING KAT
The third round of the Buick brought us some interesting activity. The most pressing news is that of our sexy lawn crawler Camilo Villegas. Villegas is currently 12-under and tied for 16th. His aquamarine shirt was a purrfect choice to compliment those stellar forearms and he might possibly be the hottest kat ever to sport white pants and look so damn fine in ‘em.

Of course the other sexy kat on the greens is Tiger. Woods shot a 6 under par to lead the tournament at 18 under. Tiger ran into some trouble with his tee shot on the 18th. The shot went way left and bounced off a lucky spectator and into the fairway. Tiger showed his top-notch class by thanking the fan and gave him a signed glove. “That guy is going to have a bad bruise on his hand,” Woods said. “He really took one for the team.” One for the team? I could take about ten for the team if necessary…oh, and Tiger ended up making a 7-footer for birdie. Tweet-tweet you sexy beast.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED…

American Express is still marketing Andy Roddicks defunct mojo. They now explore “My Life” according to Andy Roddick in a special supplement released last week. The articles investigate Andy’s perfect day, his wildest dreams, and the one subject that leaves him speechless- the fact that he can’t win an event to save his life because he’s too arrogant of an Athlebrity to listen to his coaches and is way to busy with his nails-on-a-chalkboard-equally-as-overrated-girlfriend…sorry AX, not buying it.

YO MAMA?

Last night, during the 7th inning, Barry Bonds slammed his 723rd career home run. In the 9th, Bonds lipped off to umpire Ron Kulpa on a strike-call and got himself spanked right outta the game. “There were two unprofessional people out there at that moment,” Bonds said. “He was very unprofessional and so was I. What happens on the field stays on the field and that’s all I have to say about it.” SF fans tossed garbage onto the field in support of the big slugger and the “BS” strike call, causing an 11-minute delay. Fans also threw debris at the umpires as they were escorted off the field after the game. Nice!

“Barry didn’t like strike two. He thought it was down and I told him it was not down,” Kulpa said. “It was a good pitch and I’d been calling that pitch all night. We talked about the pitch, Barry and I. It was getting heated. I warned him, and then he crossed the line and said something he shouldn’t have said.” I’m sensing Bonds dissed someone’s mama? Too bad Kulpa didn’t challenge Barry to a head-butting contest…

I’M STUNNED

Things always tend to get crazy in Miami, especially with the po-po. Pistons hottie Dale Davis was “shocked with a stun gun and charged with assault and disorderly conduct in an altercation with Miami Beach police.” His agent, Chubby Wells “It was so ridiculous, it’s unbelievable…we’re going to take a stand.” Reports confirm that after Davis gave the po-po his identification and went outside, he accused the officers of targeting him because he is black. A scuffle ensued and Davis was hit with the stun-gun. At some point in my life I may have written this off as an Athlebrity playing the “race card,” however, I gotta side with Davis on this one. I was recently in Miami and had just left a nightclub with a group of friends, all of who happen to be famous “rappers.” I was the only “whitey” in the car. As we approached an intersection, four police cars surrounded our car. Sirens on, lights flashing, and to my surprise, guns drawn. In my naïve mind, I asked what was happening. “Stay cool baby girl, just the usual”…the usual? The usual what? We were ordered out of the car, at gunpoint, and lined-up against the wall. We stood there for about ten-minutes waiting to be cuffed and stuffed- for what, I still didn’t know. Then, without any explanation what so ever, the cops left. Just like that. To my surprise, we were pulled over for one reason only. Racism. The posse later informed me that this is routine in their world, and not to “sweat it”…Cops in Miami are vicious towards rappers in nice rides, ballers with big wallets, and just brotha’s in general. Stay strong Dale and sue the hell outta ‘em.

IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE HEAT, STAY OFF THE FIELD

Oh, yes, this glorious heat wave is doing wonders for our sporno collection. On Thursday, New Orleans Saint Bethel Johnson was at training camp in Jackson, Mississippi when he was overcome with heat exhaustion. After this beast was given a sexy sponge bath, he had to be carted off the field for further recovery.

FLOYD OH FLOYD
The gates of hell, also known as the French National anti-doping Laboratory in Chatenay-Malabry, outside Paris. Tour de France winner Floyd Landis’ destiny sits behind those gates, as he very well may become the first Tour winner to be stripped of his title.

Landis’ “B sample” allegedly confirms that he had higher-than-normal levels of testosterone in his blood, and contained synthetic testosterone, indicating that it came from an outside source. Mensa reject Pierre Bordry, who heads the French anti-doping scandal claims: “I have received a text message from Chatenay-Malabry lab that indicates the ‘B’ sample of Floyd Landis’ urine confirms testosterone was taken in an exogenous way.” Lab head Jacques De Ceaurriz said the isotope testing procedure was “foolproof” and “No error is possible in isotopic readings.” Two words for ya: Bull Shit. This lab could conduct a test on Gatorade that would come back positive. Until I see Landis or Armstrong pee into a vial and get tested before my eyes, I will never believe a word coming out of the Gates ‘O Hell. Former three time Tour de Farce winner Greg LeMond recently said: “It’s widely believed that whoever wins the Tour takes drugs, but it’s not true…It’s 100 percent possible to win it clean.” And that’s what I believe Landis did, win it clean.

“I have never taken any banned substance, including testosterone,” he said in a statement. “I was the strongest man at the Tour de France, and that is why I am the champion.” Hey Landis. in my world you and Lance are champions, with or without the yellow jersey.

CHICAGO BLUES

Speaking of champions, I really hope you Chelsea fans are gearing up for the game. I have the Chelsea blues today as I post from California while my posse of super-fly Chelsea supporters take Chicago by storm and get up close and personal with Lampard, Terry, Cole, Drogba, Shevchenko…oh how I love me some European footballers.

M-E-O-W

Guess who’s in mid-crawl at the Buick Open?

MAKING A SPLASH

And while my Italian may be a bit rusty, I’m much better at reading body language, particularly that of smoking hot Italians. This photo was a must post, and from what I gather, hottie won a bronze medal in platform diving…

That’s my Saturday rant…as always, thanks for reading. Delinda

ANDY GAVE MARIA HIS MOJO

Its official. Andy Roddick has solidified his Mensa reject status. After knocking himself down a few notches for his revolving door of coaching choices, Andy has come out of the closet and proclaimed his love for Maria Sharapova. According to Contactmusic, the couple have “been secretly dating for over a year now” and recently went public with their relationship at the Zinc Lounge in Manhattan Beach, California. The pair were “beside each other all night”, American publication Us Weekly quoted an unidentified source as saying. One of Roddick’s friends told the magazine that the couple had kept their relationship quiet because “she was too young.” Roddick is 23 and Sharapova is only 19. When Andy had his mojo going, he was a full-blooded Athlebrity, but admitting his love for this shrill-producing, overrated athlete is too much for this girl. Now that the two have gone “public” the media-feeding frenzy is gonna be worse than Big Bens’ “I almost died” story….yawn.

KOBE EARNS A FEW MENSA POINTS

Last night, Kobe Bryant announced the launch of his Vivo Foundation at Ago Restaurant in L.A. The foundation’s first initiative, Vivo Del Mondo, will provide 8 African-American and Hispanic college students with the chance to go to Italy and visit Kobe’s old hood. “It’s really exciting for us, to have the opportunity to do something like this,” said Bryant. “With me growing up overseas - being exposed to another world, another culture, another way of life - to able to open those doors for somebody else is special.” The special kids will get a nine-day, all-expense paid trip to Rome, Florence and Venice beginning next week. Where were all these hotties with handouts when I was growing up…

DWYANE WADE IS TAKING OVER

Anyone like hot Gatorade? The company has put over 20 million images of Dwyane Wade on bottles of the thirst quencher in China in preparation for the USA-China game next week. Under each label there is a code that drinkers can text-message in for a chance to win tickets to the game. On the labels, Wade and his lucious lips look straight ahead, while his right arm blocks the words ”USA” printed on his red jersey.

Now, I don’t care if you are in the Air Force, Army, Navy or Marines, but when you’re sitting courtside, and you can’t appreciate the playas, then get out of the arena. Check out sister on the far right. I’m about to buy myself a pair of cammos, rub some dirt on my face and walk into the next game with the troops.

Carmelt-in-my-mouth-Anthony spotted me at the game, as did Lebron James, who flashed me our secret signal before placing a bag of ice on his overworked…um, legs?

THE PRICE OF BARRY’S BALL

Bidding has ended on Barry Bonds’ 715th home run ball, with a winning bid of $220, 100. The winner, Marc Chase, is a California-based exotic car merchant. Props to the sellers who plan to donate 10% of the proceeds to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America. “The decision to sell this piece of history was a big one for us, but ultimately, we are happy with the ending price we received today,” said the sellers. “It’s been a chance of a lifetime, a lot of fun and we feel putting it on eBay allowed a lot of people to participate, either through bidding or watching. We’re also very excited to help Big Brothers Big Sisters of America through our donation.”

Speaking of Bonds…. I find it somewhat strange that a grand jury has not convened to issue an indictment against Coyotes assistant coach Mensa reject Rick Tocchet…Tocchet, as you should remember, was partners with another reject, James Harney in a gambling operation. Harney plea bargained his way outta the joint and has promised “to help authorities [in New Jersey] with their case of illegal gambling against” Tocchet. Harney has said that Tocchet “brought in six gambling clients and split the revenue” with him…so what’s the hold up with the Grand Jury? I guess the paper trail left behind by the gambling white boys isnt as clear-cut as the he-said, she-said case surrounding the Barry Bonds lynch mob…

STRIP SCRABBLE WITH DAVID BECKHAM

UK TV star Emma Ryan claims she had an affair with Becks in 1998, and has threatened to “spill the beans” on an upcoming ITV reality show! The model has claimed that Beckham wanted to see her naked and they exchanged hot text messages to each other during their six-week fling. But, she says, they never slept together. Yeah right!….According to various reports “Emma’s relationship with Beckham started in a bar in Manchester in August 1998, when he was a rising Manchester United star. At the time, she claimed that he passionately kissed her as they cuddled at a friend’s house. “He wanted to see me naked and couldn’t wait to play a game of strip Scrabble. Beckham’s people tried to make out it was just a brief fling. But the truth is, it was much, much more. Now I’m determined the whole world will know the truth. It was a love affair. We both had very deep feelings for each other.” Yeah, so deep that he married another woman? Keep it to yourself sister, you’re coming off as a scorned gold-digger, and if you didn’t sleep with him, then you really outta shut it.

GREAT JOB ON THE CHELSEA SUPPORT

Tomorrow, as the sexy men of Chelsea Blue take on the MLS All Stars, they will be doing so in front of a standing-room-only crowd of about 21,000. Chicago Fire President John Guppy: “For the Grand Opening, the fans were for the Chicago Fire. For Saturday, they’ll be the fans of soccer. … We’ve sold tickets to people all over the U.S., and we’ve got people flying in from Poland, the United Kingdom and Canada. People from at least 30 states bought tickets.” I’m not sure if fans are still riding the World Cup wave, or if the sport is actually getting a pulse in this country, either way, rock on people.

DAVID BECKHAM GETS RED
Motorola has snagged David Beckham as a “global brand ambassador” for a three year period. As I reported last month, Becks can now be downloaded into your Motorola handsets. (Hint: for maximum effect, set ringer on vibrate).

VP of retail marketing at Motorola Mobile Devices: “We’re very excited about this collaboration for ourselves, our customers and our consumers. David Beckham is a global icon and we look forward to working with him across a range of projects. In particular, we’re delighted that he’ll be using his immense popularity to help promote (MOTO)RED.” The newly launched (MotoRed) is affiliated with the Red campaign created to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. RED is funded by the Global Fund, which partners with governments, non-profit organizations, and private sectors to rid the world of AIDS, TB and malaria. The Fund has selected several established grants for distribution of (RED) money and in less than four years have provided: 544,000 people with treatment for HIV and AIDS; 5.7 million people with HIV testing; 1.43 million people with treatment for TB; 7.3 million people treated for malaria and 11.3 million families with insecticide treated mosquito nets. If Beckham isnt enough to get you on board, then the statistics should be. And if you are still on the fence, keep in mind that Bono also supports RED with his super cool African mud-cloth Chuck Taylors. Go to www.joinred.com for more info. Lets save the world together people. And if we haven’t saved it by next year, then at least we’ll have a nice book to read…Becks is currently penning a “soccer skills” kids books called “Making It Real” which is due out next year.

VERY “BAD BOYS” OF HOCKEY
The 12th annual Jerry Bruckheimers “Bad Boys Hockey” event went down in Vegas last weekend. Bruckheimer and his boys invaded Caesar’s Palace and filled the casino with some phenomenal eye candy and enough testosterone to fuel this girl for years. Fresh off the ice, which undoubtedly toned up their already rock hard bodies, the boys partied it up at club Pure, where Bruck’s had rented the entire second floor patio of the club.

The event is somewhat private, so, outta respect for Bruck’s, I’ll be hush-hush with the names of the “bad boys” we encountered and keep the photos in my “secret garden.” I will say they were quite eager to show us their ‘sticks’ and give us some free t-shirts, but I had my eye on a bigger trophy-Bruck’s gave each of his ‘bad boys’ dog tags engraved with their names on the back, and the logo (above) on the front…and to my surprise, the hotties complimented Bruckheimer with a sincerity that often isn’t seen among the “famous.” This changed my opinion of hockey players and more importantly, had me thinking, if they’re an accurate reflection of Bruckheimer, then he must be one hell of a guy. Way to represent boys. (Side note to the Bad Boys… you might wanna brush-up on the fine art of “damage control”…)

HERE COMES THE KITTY
Finally, we got some sexy PGA action. The PGA Buick Open in Michigan kicks off today, and with it, we are spoon fed some Camilo Villegas, Tiger Woods, Puma-kat Geoff Ogilvy, and the PGA anti-Christ himself, Mr. John Daly.

While awaiting images and activity from our kitty-kat Villegas, I have to direct you to the Cobra Golf website. (www.cobragolf.com.) This is essentially an on-line video bank of Villegas sporno. The beast has filmed three commercials for Cobra, and in one spot he holds up his “club” and says “Say hello to my not-so-little-friend”…Are you kidding me! If Camilo continues with this kind of teasing, then I suggest the PGA get some Tiger-tight security to rope him off.

HOW TO MELT ICE

Tony Parrish. San Francisco 49ers safety. Any questions?

ZIDANE SONG
“Coup de Boule,” a song inspired by Mensa reject’s Zinedine Zidane’s head-butt of Materazzi in the WC Final, has hit No. 1 on France’s singles chart. It’s a terrible song, ala Macarena, and was written by three associates of Plage Records the day after the match. They emailed the tune to “about 50 friends, the song quickly invaded the Web, with French radio (of course) putting it on its play-list and ring-tone sellers and music labels fighting for the rights.” Warner Music France eventually bought the song, which has sold more than 75,000 copies in stores in the last ten days and been downloaded more than 110,000 times. I still can’t understand why…www.laplagerecords.com.

CHELSEA BLUE

If you live in Southern Cali, and you didn’t go to Chelsea’s camp at UCLA, (and you weren’t outta town), then your Mensa points are negative. Mad love to this astute Chelsea fan who has earned Mensa gold-status by making the most of her time while the boys were in town. Miss X actually called in late for work to get her some Chelsea love- now that’s what I’m talking about! In her own words: “These boys are really world class! They stopped by and took some photos and signed a few stuff for us fans waiting outside of the locker room”…only question is, girl, why weren’t you IN the locker room?
Thank you Chelsea fans, I bow to your brilliance.

Ask D&D questions to Debbie or Delinda@athlebrities.com. So far, we have gotten some great emails, keep ‘em coming…

USA SENIOR MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM HOTTIES

Dwyane Wade and Carmelo on the floor! Hola! The hot ballers of the Men’s National Team are ripping it up in Vegas. The team spanked Puerto Rico in a scrimmage yesterday, playing without the NBA’s leading scorer Kobe Bryant. Kobe is the official benchwarmer for the team due to his injured knee and doesn’t seem to mind: “It’s amazing, it’s fun to watch,” Bryant said. “They come at you in waves. It’s nonstop, the pressure that they put on full court, quick hands, quick feet that they have.” I’d like to put Carmelt-in-my-mouth-Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Lebron James under some full court pressure to really see how quick their hands are.

Meanwhile, that furry beast Pau Gasol is training with the Spanish National squad if preparation for the upcoming sporno-fest of the World Championships in Japan. (August 19th). Looks like his practice is going awesome…

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE LOSES MENSA POINTS.

So Justin Timberlake is gearing up for a forthcoming interview in an unknown mens magazine and has been given carte blanche to choose the “interviewer.” Obviously, the interview will not be conducted at a restaurant, because JT picked Victoria Beckham, wife of Athlebritolgy God David. A source says’ “Justin was adamant that she was the only person fit for the job. Victoria is a big fan of Justin’s music and was very flattered that he personally requested her. Everyone is telling Victoria it would be brilliant for her to do it.” No, what would be brilliant is if JT picked me. I apparently came in as JT’s “second-choice”. Cry me a friggin river…

THIS HEAT WAVE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
Living in California, I’ve grown accustomed to the heat. But elsewhere in the world, it seems to be creating havoc. Mist machines have been installed at Boston’s Fenway Park while announcements are shown on the replay board advising fans “to take precautions and remain hydrated.” They even hired additional medical crews “to deal with the expected increase of heat-related illnesses and incidents.” Guess the additional crew wasn’t around on Saturday when a woman “went into apparent cardiac arrest at a Fenway concourse picnic area” and later died at the hospital. The saddest part about this story is that she was seven months pregnant. Her newborn son is apparently doing well. But what blows me away is that Red Sox VP/Media Relations John Blake said that the team is “considering contributing to a trust fund.” CONSIDERING? This should be a no-brainer for the Sox…come on fans, rally a little.

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY NFL TRAINING CAMPS?

From left…Houston Texans defensive end Earl Cochran, Baltimore Ravens safety B.J. Ward, Landon Schrage, and hot, hot, hot, linebacker Ray Lewis all try to remain cool during training camp sessions. It’s been proven that these guys are so hot, that they are inadvertently raising the Earths core temperature, as well as mine.

One hottie that always remains cool is Washington Redskins running back-to-my-arms Clinton Portis. Portis is notorious for sporting various wigs, fake glasses and other flare during weekly chats with reporters. He has assumed such alter egos as Sheriff Gonna Get Ya, and the Inspector. For obvious reasons, my favorite is Coach Janky-Spanky, although I wouldn’t mind the sheriff coming to get me. To view all Portis’s alter-egos, check out his website: www.clintonportis.com/characters.html

TIGER TAKES THE BUS

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis joined Tiger Woods at the Pro-Am day for the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Michigan today. Bettis did so well, that he actually had a birdie on the 18th hole!

CHELSEA HITS UCLA
En route to Chicago for a sexy MLS game showdown, team Chelsea and it’s edible boys, held a weeklong training session at UCLA last week. And I have to say; I’m extremely disappointed in the reports I’ve been reading. Why? Because Joe Cole, Didier Drogba, John Terry and Andriv Shevchenko, et al, strolled through Los Angeles unrecognized! What’s this “privacy in public” crap people?

Chelsea had the greatest numbers of hotties, 17, playing in the World Cup. I would have thought at least one of my hottie-hungry readers would have jumped one of the boys in the street. Instead Joe Cole is quoted as saying “…there’ll be a lot of watching movies in our rooms.” The Chelsea boys slept at the Beverly Hills Hotel during their stay and I can only hope, Cole was referring to a five-star adult movie selection…

Andriv Shevchenko and his arms, who joined Chelsea in May, are a fabulous addition to this already world-class team. Hotties Shevchenko and Michael Ballack are stirring up my Ricky Martin fantasy…the boys attended the aptly named “Hit The Ground Running Party” last Thursday night at Skybar in L.A. Had I not been in Vegas, I would hit the ground running up to Los Angeles to get a peek at Didier Drogba, Michael Mancienne, John Terry or Joe Cole.

POKER CHIP GIRL
Speaking of Vegas…poker chips are all the rage now. An unidentifed Athlebrity was spotted wearing one of these “poker chip necklaces” over the weekend…and I just had to get me one.

The designer, Meridith Miller uses actual antique poker chips, some dating back to the 1900’s, for her designs. Some of the chips are so rare that they are referenced and coded in the Antique Gambling Chips book. Her designs include necklaces, earrings and bracelets, most over 100 years old and either inlayed or engraved. For a little bling, she’s used Swarovski crystals and silver charms. The coolest thing about these pieces is that they date back to a time when gambling was illegal. I’ll be a huckleberry and tell you from experience, they do in fact bring you luck…check out www.pokerchipgirl.com.

LUKE WALTON GETS RESTLESS

Lakers hottie, Luke Walton will appear in the August 30 episode of The Young & The Restless where he’ll play a game of one-on-one with actor Kristoff St John. If you’re unfamiliar with St. John, then it’s time to wake up. He’s a smoking hot Emmy Award-winning actor with major Mensa points for participating in PETA’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” series. I have never watched an episode of Y&R, but I can tell you, I’m about to introduce my Tivo to that show.

WHY JETER, WHY…

Avon Products announced that it is partnering with the Jete to create a signature men’s fragrance called “Driven.” I hate to do it, but I’m “driven” to deduct a few Mensa points from Jeter for this move. Avon? Come on Jeter, is that the best you could do? “Driven” is only the first is a series of men’s grooming products bearing Jeter’s name, and will go on sale in November.

MENSA POINTS FOR JASON TAYLOR

Sexy Dolphin Jason Taylor told our simian President that he couldn’t join him for dinner at Joe’s Stone Crabs in Miami Beach due to “training camp obligations.” Mad, mad, mad, love to Taylor for dissin’ the Bush like that.

And for those of you looking for my photos of Chris Webbers Bada Bling event, I will try to get a link up today…and tomorrow, we’ll talk about the “Bad Boys of Summer”…

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