LEWIS HAMILTON

What the hell is going on? Am I the only female with hormones going haywire over Lewis Hamilton? Aside from the broadcast, the only mention of Lewis Hamilton or the Grand Prix was from babe Paul Casey who gave a shout out to Lewis Hamilton while waiting to tee off at the US Open. Even Tiger Woods was keeping an eye on Hamilton. In fact, I heard more coverage of the Grand Prix from the hotties at the US Open!

Yes, Lewis Hamilton won his second consecutive F1 race. On the podium, flanked by the usual suspects, Alonso and Massa, Hamilton teared up, smiled, pumped his fist and displayed more emotion than I’ve seen in previous races. The incredibly humble beast didn’t ‘claim’ the victory as his own, but as he crossed the line, Hamilton yelled excitedly into his radio, “We brought it home. Fantastic guys, I love you all.” Hot, humble, talented, and making history…what a shame its just the hot golfers, Europeans, and I bearing witness to such an incredible talent.

WAG WEDDINGS

Off the market: John Terry, Michael Carrick, Gary Neville and Steven Gerrard. All four Euro soccer babes tied the knot over the weekend. Chelsea beast and England captain John Terry married sweetheart Toni Poole (sorry Ang) at Blenheim Palace in, Oxfordshire, on Friday. Party-king Wayne Rooney and Chelsea babe Frank Lampard were reportedly “in fine form at the bar, knocking back vodka cocktails and shots of sambuca before hitting the dance floor.” A source said: “Wayne was really going for it. He looked like he was having a boozing competition with Lamps, then started dancing like a wildman. He had everyone in stitches with a new dance technique which looked like a monkey jumping about in a cage.” The glitzy nuptials were dubbed the ultimate WAG wedding weekend. The off-field antics of the so-called WAGs - wives and girlfriends - of England’s footballers were as much the focus as their husbands and boyfriends’ on-pitch performances at last year’s World Cup.

US OPEN

Golf is so boring…its all old men…why do you wanna stay home and watch the US Open instead of sailing?

BECKHAM EXPIRED

David Beckhams final game with Real Madrid has finally come and gone. Marking the end of his ‘career’ before tainting Hollywood, Becks played his 157th game for Real which won its 30th league title against Mallorca 3-1. “I couldn’t have dreamt it any better,” he said. “It’s been about wining the title for the last six months, and we’ve deserved it tonight.It’s been an incredible experience but all I remember now are the great things. Winning this tonight now puts to bed everything else. It’s amazing to have my family here. They have been with me for four years in Spain…blah, blah, blah…..”everyone that supported me throughout my career”…yada, yada, yada….mum and dad, my sister and children. It’s incredible.”

Wait…real played Mallorca? This is one time that I can say thanks to Tom Cruise and Katie Cruise Hubbard for being in the crowd…perhaps our hidden treasure in this photo may have eluded us had Becks’ new best friends not been there…

DANDY ANDY RODDICK

Congrats to Andy for getting back on track…“This was by far the toughest match I’ve ever played here and I feel pretty lucky to be standing in the winner’s circle so hopefully I can carry the luck over to Wimbledon,” said Roddick, who is ranked fifth in the world.

HATING THE SPURS

It’s so easy to hate the Spurs. Actually, I don’t know who is worse, the team or the way Eva Longoria has to be plastered alongside her bugging soon-to-be-future-ex-hubby at every photo op imaginable. And I know I’m not the only hater out there…thanks to Girls Gone Sports for the lovely Spurs Suck photo and thanks to the anonymous friend of Eva’s, who recently narked to the NY Post that Eva’s Frenchman ain’t all that either: “He is just not gracious. He puts himself ahead of her. He always orders at restaurants before her and is rude to waiters.” Like I said: projected filing date for the divorce papers 8-8-08.

SHAQ AND CLINTON AND PROSTITUTES?

Thanks to the nasty boys at With Leather for the perfect photo for this wickedly scandalous story…On Friday, the Las Vegas po-po leaked the names of daddy-Shaq and hot former Pres Bill Clinton to be dragged into a prostitution case. Sin City madam, Esperanza Brooks, 36, was dropped their boldfaced names as she bragged about having high-powered clientele while being secretly recorded by an undercover cop, according to a Las Vegas police report made public this week by the department. “These are not your average girls. Some of them have worked with Bill Clinton,” Brooks told an undercover officer while assuring him of her girls’ cleanliness, according to the Vegas police report. The Post’s Marianne Garvey also reports Brooks boasted to cops that she had 40 women working for her. A spokesman for Clinton said, “Apparently, total fabrications that get made up in Vegas don’t stay in Vegas.” O’Neal’s reps failed to get back to Page Six for two days. Las Vegas Metro Vice Lt. Karen Hughes told local TV station KLAS that Brooks “sold herself as being involved in high-end prostitution, which means the girls are very top-notch - dealt with celebrities.” But legal experts were shocked at the unprofessionalism of the Vegas cops for allowing the unsubstantiated and wild claims about O’Neal and Clinton to be included in public documents. “The Vegas police allowed a criminal suspect to defame two prominent men while she didn’t even know she was being recorded,” said criminal defense lawyer Ed Hayes. “This would never happen in New York.” Brooks, arrested with four other women, worked by day as a cheerleading coach at the Andre Agassi College Prep Academy, a public charter school the tennis ace founded in 2001 in the ghetto section of Vegas. The two-week investigation ended when Brooks agreed to provide “blond” girls with “large breasts” to three Asian business partners invented by the undercover cop. The fee of $10,000 included a quantity of cocaine. When the buxom trio arrived at a resort on the Vegas Strip at 2 a.m., cops swooped in and arrested them, Brooks, and another woman booker. Brooks is being held on $28,000 bond on 14 counts of prostitution-related crimes. (NY Post)

NORM!

No one covers the underbelly of Vegas quite like Norm Clarke…which makes me question the above story because Norm didn’t mention it. In any case, here’s a few sightings reported by Norm…Baltimore Ravens star Jonathan Ogden and American track and field sprinter Maurice Greene, dining Saturday at Asia Nightlife Dining in the Miracle Mile Shops (Planet Hollywood Resort)…Golfing Hall of Famer and CBS broadcaster Nick Faldo, catching Danny Gans’ performance Saturday at The Mirage. Gans and Faldo met in February when Gans played at the Pebble Beach AT&T event. Before the show, Faldo and Gans talked backstage, exchanging golf stories and tips. ..New England Patriots wide reciever Randy Moss, staying in a Bungalow this weekend at the Palms Casino Resort…Denver Broncos standout Champ Bailey, actor Chazz Palminteri (”A Bronx Tale”), actor Arthur J. Nascarella (”The Sopranos”) and poker player Antonio Esfandari, partying at Pure nightclub Friday at Caesars Palace. …Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and beau Tom Brady of the New England Patriots, dining at N9ne steakhouse Friday at the Palms. … Brady’s new teammate, wide receiver Randy Moss, also dined at N9ne steakhouse.
