TIGER WOODS, HIS LIPS & THE LEGEND

Wondertwin powers pa-leeze activate, form…of…a…chapstick…in…Shanghai…Tiger Woods was mobbed by Chinese fans after prepping his lips for the Pro-Am event on the eve of the HSBC Championships. I realize that wherever Tiger Woods goes, there is a mob-scene following him, but in China, the fans appear unusually tenacious. After investigating further, I discovered that no wild tigers have been seen anywhere by Chinese officials for more than 20 years. The Tiger has been featured heavily in Chinese culture and tradition for centuries, and has long been thought of as a symbol of strength and power and the subject of awe and fear. Indeed. Tigers also symbolize dignity and prestige, while being endowed with the ability to ward off the fire, thieves, evil spirits and crazy red headed bloggers. But most importantly, (and I did not make this up), the Tiger is thought of as Ruler of the Beasts on Earth. And no one can say that Tiger hasn’t lived up to his name, and then some.

CARMELO ANTHONY DONATES $3 MILLION

Carmelo Anthony continues to melt-in-my-mouth while earning mega hot points off the court. Yesterday the luscious Nugget donated $3 million to his old school, Syracuse University, for a new basketball facility. With his T-shirt and orange Syracuse cap on backwards, Melo just about sent me over the edge. The facility will be named after the smoldering hot baller, who led the Orangemen to the 2003 national title before bolting to the NBA. “It’s what I wanted to do,” Melo said. “The whole city took me in like I was a Syracuse native.”

GOD HELP US ALL
Team Baby Entertainment has named the celebrity narrators for its new kids DVD series, in which officially licensed sports and team footage is interspersed with traditions, stadiums, mascots and images of babies playing with team-specific products. As previously mentioned on Athlebrities, these videos contain some of the scariest footage released in the past decade. Eerie voiceovers and creepy infants cheering do nothing except send chills up my spine. The following people will lend their voices to further scare the hell out of us: Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Mark Cuban (WHY Mark, why?), Regis Philbin, Jay Leno, Pat Riley, George Steinbrenner, and finally, Lance’s boyfriend Matthew McConaughey.

LEBRON GETS BOBBLED

Last night, every lucky fan with a ticket to the Hawks-Cavaliers game at the Q received a LeBron James bobblehead doll. The bobblehead wears the sexy Cavaliers’ orange retro uniform from the team’s ’86-87 season. And I want one…so any of you who feel the need to share; you know where to find me.

BARRY BONDS, KOBE & ANDREW BYNUM

Not quite sure what was going on during the Lakers game last night…but Barry Bonds enjoyed a courtside seat with his adorable son Nikolai, while Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum seemed unusually close. The Lakers spanked the T’Wolves 95-88. And I can only speculate as to how Kobe and Andrew celebrated.
