CAMILO VILLEGAS: PEOPLE MAGAZINE EN ESPANOL
Once again, our sexy lawn crawling Columbian has caught the eye of another publication. Camilo Villegas appears in the newest edition of People Magazine En Espanol…but we need not understand Spanish to get this gist of the article. “Aquí te presentamos a los guapos que, con su belleza, talento y carisma, lograron quedaron en nuestra exclusiva lista de los solteros más deseados. Disfrútenla.” Talent and charisma? Indeed. The 24-year old Lindeberg wearing kitten says “Mi moda es diferente…Estamos acostumbrados a ver los golfistas vestidos de una manera muy clásica, muy tradicional.” Camilo’s different mode is definitely to blame for our eyes straying from Tiger, Ian, or Adam, and it’s this different mode that keeps us purring year round. (Thanks again to our favorite East Coast Camilo Villegas correspondent, Elena, for this updated info).

Additionally, as you know, Camilo Villegas signed a three-year endorsement deal with Stanford Financial Group. A Stanford rep said the feline-libido tickler will wear the company’s logo on the right side of his cap as well as make personal appearances and participate in various ads. Personal appearances? Hello! And make sure to keep your eyes open for the upcoming national campaign featuring Camilo Villegas to promote the Stanford St. Jude Championship (formerly the FedEx St. Jude Classic) in Memphis, which begins airing in January. More importantly, Stanford Financial has also committed to helping Villegas create a charitable foundation in his hometown of Medellin, Colombia, details have yet to be finalized and will not be announced until ‘07. Trust me peeps, I’ll be following this very closely. In addition to Stanford Financial, Villegas has sponsorship deals with J. Lindeberg, Cobra Golf and FootJoy, as well as ‘relationships’ with Red Bull & Caremark. Last week, he shot a sporn worthy ad to run as part of Titleist’s popular “Sign Boy” spots, and he is the only golfer to participate in AT&T’s “See How They Live” campaign- which breaks in 6 days. His agent, IMG’s Clarke Jones, said he is hoping to finalize a deal with a high-end watchmaker by the end of the month. “It just never stops with him,” said Jones. And it never will…

BURBERRY BABE ADAM SCOTT

Adam Scott finished yesterdays round at the Tour in Georgia with a 1 under par for a 69. Adam commented that “my short game was great today, and I really chipped beautifully and feel that my game is back to where it was before my break”. Thank god. Scott remains tied for third and is poised to give us a double-de-licious weekend of golf-sporn on TV.

LAMAR ODOM AND GOD

I’m not a big fan of mixing hotties with god, but props to Lakers hottie Lamar Odom for keeping the faith. Odom is launching a line of religious apparel called “Son of Man” that will include shirts and jeans “by artists he commissioned.” Odom’s Rich Soil Entertainment will release its first album next year, and he and his partner “will turn their attention to several film projects.” And yet another Athlebrity going astray…

BODE MILLER: SPORTSKOOL
“Bode believes he can do anything, especially on a pair of ski’s.” NOT. But I have to say, after a much-needed Bode-hiatus, he looks pretty cute again. Don’t get too excited, his Mensa reject status remains in tact, especially after reading that the on-demand TV network Sportskool will begin posting on its Web site exclusive content from “Skiing with Bode Miller,” an original ski instruction series featuring U.S. ski team coach Phil McNichol and Miller that will debut on December 5. Bode’s first lesson is given from a bar. If ya just gotta see it, www.sportskool.com.

MLB HOTTIES IN JAPAN

The MLB All-Star Tour team is currently touring Japan and I gotta give props to the fans for knowing how to get an autograph from Chicago White Sox & Japanese sensation Tadahito Iguchi. Hotties of interest on the roster include Mets 3B David Wright, SS Jose Reyes and P John Maine, who met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo. Wright gave Abe a Mets jersey with Abe’s name on the back, and also gave a sly, sexy look to the camera. The ML babes are in Japan for a five-game series against their Japanese counterparts, starting today.

POWER YOGA FOR BASEBALL
Another great way to get close to the hotties is to become their yoga teacher. Gwen Lawrence is one such person. This lucky woman is a yoga instructor to hotties from the Yankees, NY Giants and NY Red Bulls. Now, in an effort to expose more young athletes to the benefits of yoga, Gwen has launched the Power Yoga for Sports series of home DVDs. Each DVD will provide a yoga workout for a specific sport, including baseball, football, and soccer. The first of these DVDs, Power Yoga for Baseball, is now available. (Warning: there are no hotties in the DVD). “Yoga is not simply sitting around omming all day” she says. But I’m omming at the thought of any hottie doing the warrior, plank, or downward dog, which Lawrence claims, “actually translate into similar movements used on the playing field.” One baseball hottie had this to say about Yoga: “Each pose has allowed me to feel muscles I never knew I had.” You don’t need yoga for that my friend, just me.

SASHA BARON COHEN

Opening today is the much-anticipated Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation Kazakhstan. If you have no idea who Borat is, then you are missing out big time. Borat is one of the many characters by comic genius Sasha Baron Cohen. (No relation to the figure skater). One of Cohen’s alter ego’s, Ali G, is an Athlebrity favorite and staple in my diet. Last year, the NBA teamed up with Ali G, who interviewed several NBA hotties including Shaq, Dwyane Wade, Kobe, Richard Jefferson, Steve Nash, Robert Horry etc…in case you missed any of the Ali-G NBA Video Promos, here’s one of my favorite extended versions. Just sit back, relax, and fall in love with my main man, Ali G. The video has also been added to the Athlebrities YouTube group.

As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
