CAMILO VILLEGAS: GOLF FITNESS ACADEMY

Seriously. Why hasn’t this beast graced the cover of every magazine imaginable? When I say I watched Camilo Villegas’ workout on Golf-TV, I mean it literally. I watched it. I vaguely recall hearing words such as lengthen, motion, slow, strengthen, rotating torso, hip-twist, push-pull, push-pull…all spoken in a soft, yet discernable Columbian accent.

If case you missed this insightful program, where Camilo performed the splits and sent my hormones into seizures, it will re-air April 22 at 4 p.m., April 23 at 6 p.m., and April 24 at 5:30 a.m. Set your DVR’s and be sure to send thank you notes to Camilo’s agent for finally getting him the exposure we’ve been waiting for. He not only flexed like a king but exquisitely detailed why he has such a flawless physique. ME-friggin-OW.

ADAM SCOTT FOUNDATION & YOUNGCARE
If this isnt a good reason to go down under, I don’t know what is. Burberry beast Adam Scott has not only launched his foundation, but he’s partnered with Youngcare to build apartments for young people “requiring high care.” Director of Youngcare David Conry said the partnership with the Adam Scott Foundation allows the charity to achieve one of its goals of expanding its services a lot sooner than originally planned. “The support being provided by the Adam Scott Foundation has allowed us to start the Gold Coast facility a lot sooner than anticipated,” David Conry said.

In his own words, Adam Scott effectively explains the numerous reason why I adore him: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to establish the Adam Scott Foundation and of creating a long term, sustainable organization that will offer opportunity to youth in our community”. For a number of years now I have envisaged creating a structure that will allow me to assist various youth groups that need help. As I have traveled the world playing Professional Golf and experiencing many favorable situations, it has also become apparent to me just how many people are suffering, disadvantaged and lacking opportunity. I was fortunate to be offered the opportunity of following my chosen path, but not everyone has that fortune. I believe that the giving of an opportunity may be one of the greatest gifts of all – be that an opportunity for a single experience to a sick child, to a chance to follow a dream that may otherwise be unattainable“.

EPL ACTIVITY

Chelsea babe Shaun Wright-Phillips scored two spectacular goals during Chelsea’s 4-1 spanking over West-Ham. Salomon Kalou kicked one in, as did my Ivory Coast King Drogba- his 19th goal of the season. The two time defending boys in blue are now a scant 3 points behind Man-U, who are vying for three major trophies this season, while Chelsea is aiming for four.


Francesco Totti and the entire posse of AS Roma babes beat Inter Milan 3-1 to temporarily halt the Italian leader from winning the league title. While its probable that Inter Milan will win the coveted title, I can still appreciate the passion of a game where one hot Italian team, AS Roma, handed another hot Italian team, Inter-Milan, it’s first league loss of the season.

THE $100K HAT

“I find it ridiculous that the NFL would fine me $100,000.” By now I’m sure you’ve all heard that the Bears’ Brian Urlacher was fined $100,000 by the NFL for wearing a hat during Super Bowl media day promoting Vitaminwater. As we are painfully aware, you cant even say SuperBowl or NFL without paying a franchise fee. Because Gatorade is the leagues “official” beverage, and Vitaminwater is not an NFL sponsor, Urlacher’s fine was over inflated. “Because of the exposure Urlacher gave to the brand at media day, he was charged ten times as much.” In Chicago, Brad Biggs reports when Glaceau President Mike Repole was asked if he “planned to help out his investor with the fine,” he laughed. Repole: “I haven’t talked with Brian yet –- we usually speak every once in a while -– but I think we’ll have a nice discussion the next time we do.” Two thumbs up for putting Vitaminwater on the map and pissing off the NFL, I applaud you Brian Urlacher.

TOM BRADY: STETSON
Though the dust on his heels comes from the streets of the city, the heart of the urban cowboy beats with the spirit of the Wild West. With his rugged good looks, it is no surprise that his ability to charm women is legendary. Although many a good woman has tried to claim his heart, he remains…untamed.

And so it says on the Stetson website. The latest Athlebrity to taut a fragrance is Tom Brady. In N.Y., gossip columnists Rush & Molloy report that Tom Brady has signed on with Stetson cologne, but one source said that Brady “refused to put on a cowboy hat” for his first ad shoot. The source: “What’s a Stetson ad without the Stetson hat?” Come on Brady- put on the damn hat and look pretty for the camera. It’s not like we haven’t seen you in one before.

REST IN PEACE

My favorite creepy company, Eternal Images announced that it has received permission from Major League Baseball to expand its licensing agreement. The company, which already produces funeral urns and caskets featuring Major League Baseball team logos and colors will now be able to extend its agreement into vault and monument lines. Yippie! Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. “This agreement positions us as the sole provider of Major League Baseball themed funeral products across all platforms.” The company is debuting the first eight urns now and will then follow with 12 more teams at the end of 2007 and the balance of 10 teams in 2008. The casket line will roll out beginning with the same eight teams in the fall of 2007 with groups of 12 and 10 caskets following about every six months. And the only way you’re getting me into one of these themed things is if there is a hottie buried with me. I suggest Eternal Images creates PGA themed caskets and urns. I could rest peacefully in a Burberry lined casket, or an extra-long NBA themed casket, big enough for Melo and I?

PHIL MICKELSON IS OKAY BY ME
I’ve resisted giving Phil Mickelson any love because I don’t like his attitude on the greens. Off the greens, however, I can’t ignore his big heart. The Phil & Amy Mickelson Charitable Foundation will make a third contribution of $250,000 this year at the PGA Tour Zurich Classic in New Orleans in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. And for that, Phil and Amy (even though I don’t like her) earn a mighty, mighty good-couple nod.


As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
