ALEX RODRIGUEZ: ENOUGH ALREADY
Oh god, his ego is outta control…after reading about Alex Rodriguez, his ‘slumlord’ like activites, and his quest to be the poster child for MLB, I guess I shouldnt be surprised to learn that he has inked a deal with Guy Oseary. “He’s focusing on baseball and needs someone whose interests are aligned,” Oseary told Daily Variety, explaining the rare move of an athlete signing with a manager whose expertise is music and film. “This is to help him have more control of his image and brand.”

“As I embark on this new chapter in my career, I know that I have found in Guy Oseary someone who is aligned with my interests and who has earned a lot of respect in the entertainment industry,” Rodriguez said in a statement. Rodriguez obvioulsy feels he deserves a spot on the same pedastal as Madonna and Lenny Kravitz- two of Oseary’s other clients. Insert finger down throat now.

CURSE OF TONY ROMO

Poor Tony Romo. He’s got the looks, talent and women, but dude can’t stay focused on the field. Two of his worst on-field performances have happened when he’s had his chick in the stands. On Christmas Day ‘06, Carrie Underwood attended the game against the Eagles and this past Sunday current girlfriend Jessica Simpson was in attendance, also against the Eagles. ESPN’s Steve Young, on Romo’s celebrity girlfriends being a possible distraction: “If they come to the game, put them in somewhere where no one can see them, so no one can follow them and ESPN can’t come up with a stat that says every time somebody comes to the game, you don’t play well” (SportsCenter).

LEWIS HAMILTON CAUGHT SPEEDING

Yes, Lewis Hamilton has had his driving license suspended for a month after being caught speeding on a French motorway, police said on Tuesday Dec. 18, 2007. Hamilton was clocked going 196 km/h in a Mercedes on the A26 highway near the northern town of Laon on Sunday night. “He (Hamilton) recognized the infraction he had committed straight away,” the po-po said by telephone. “He was very courteous. The police officers then took him back to his hotel.” Hamilton’s car was taken away by police and picked up by a friend. But the police officers don’t watch Formula One, and didn’t recognize Hamilton until they looked at his identification papers. “They did not know it was him. All they saw was a car going too fast,” continued the po-po spokesperson, “He no longer has a permit on national territory, he cannot drive in France”.

As always, thanks for reading.
