Good LORD!

Christiano Ronaldo is hot. Duh.

Check out his new pics for Emporio Armani underwear at kennethinthe212. Not bad, not bad at all.

The Star Spangled Banner, Glee Style

Check out the cast of Glee (featuring the solo stylings of Amber Riley) singing the National Anthem at the 5th game of the World Series late last week.

Pretty awesome. These kids are ridiculously talented.

Famous People Are Crazy, Pt. 1

In the semifinals of the US Open this past weekend, Serena Williams (probably a favorite to win the tournament) was playing Kim Clijsters, who just came back from a 28-month maternity leave. Early in the first set, Serena was docked a point for slamming her racket against the court, a big no-no in the always-classy sport of tennis. Later in the second set, Kim found herself up 6-5, trying to break Serena to make it to the finals. At 15-30, Serena was called for a foot fault; she then freaked out, approached the lineswoman who called her foot fault, and apparently threatened her in a very unsportsmanlike way. Anyhow, the lineswoman, the chair umpire, and the tournament director all quickly came together and docked Serena another point for unsportsmanlike conduct, thus giving Kim two points (one for the foot fault, one for the unsportsmanlike conduct call), and the win. CRAZY!

I guess my description wasn't completely necessary, because you can see it all in the clip below...

Australian Ruggers: Fierce

The This is Oz campaign is aimed at educating Australians about homosexuality, diversity, and the need for acceptance. All kinds of people have recently posted photos of themselves holding handwritten signs encouraging diversity in their specific fields, including members of The Wallabies, an Australian rugby team. Pretty awesome, in my opinion.

Crush of the Day: Joe Mauer

I'm coming out of left field for this one. Hahahahaha.

Tonight I had the privilege to watch the MLB Home Run Derby. It's this thing in baseball where they get some of the best batters together and throw them some easy pitches and see who can hit the most home runs. Pretty boring, really, especially because after it's over they show highlights of them hitting the home runs over and over again.

Well, I'm glad I watched because I became familiar with Joe Mauer, a catcher for the Minnesota Twins. It's funny, really, because my brother called him "Handsome Joe Mauer," and I immediately asked, "well, is he a pitcher or a catcher?" fully intending the double entendre. Without hesitation and with a bit of irony, Casey informed me that he is a catcher. Score one for the home team!

Upon further investigation, I found out that Joe has done some modeling work (duh) for Perry Ellis and has done some commercial work for ESPN and Pepsi, among others. In the sports world, he's a pretty big deal, too.

I mostly just think he's cute.

Celebrity gossip isn't really my thing...

...but I would sure love to teach Zac a few things about handling a boat!

He was somewhere in SoCal over the weekend taking some sailing lessons, but he should have been at Torch Lake with ME!!!

What's with the shirt, though?

Who let this happen?

And so close to me???

Denise Richards sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at the Cubs game today.  Well, "sang" might not really be the best word to describe it, but it was something.

Maybe she was drunk.  I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

Was anyone there to see/hear it live???

One of the gayest things I've seen in a while...

...and keep in mind that I live in Boystown.

Johnny Weir skating to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" at a recent show in Korea.  

It's, well, it's fierce, in it's own special way.  And so is Johnny.

For no reason...

Thanks, Perez, for this excellent late-breaking sports news story...

And thank you, Cristiano Ronaldo, for being so fierce to look at.

A sad day for Andy Roddick lovers...

The NY Post is reporting that tennis star Andy Roddick and his swimsuit model girlfriend Brooklyn Decker are getting hitched this weekend in Austin, TX.  They met a few years back when, after seeing her in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition, Andy had his agent get in touch with hers.  Wouldn't it be nice to just have your agent call someone else's agent when you wanted a date with him/her?  What a life.

Anyhow, I'm crushed.  

They are a pretty attractive couple, though.  Maybe getting married will give Andy a playing boost and he can win some tournaments again...

I just can't help it...

I watched the last few minutes of Dancing With The Stars tonight and was lucky enough to see Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke dance...  And, during their rehearsal footage, the cameras followed Gilles to a soccer field.  Apparently he was playing in a charity soccer game recently.

He's too hot to not write about.

Indulge Me

So my fantasy starts out like this...  I'm stranded in an airport with hours to go before departure, I sit down to think about life and realize that I’m next to a group of six beefy British guys.  I do some research on these characters: not only do they all have great physiques, but they’ve got a trophy. And one is throwing around a miniature ball. And their shirts say “World Rugby Shop” on the backs...  Anyhow, being stuck in the airport, they decide (as do I) to get completely pissed at the bar.

I’ll leave the rest up to your (and my) imagination.

Oh, wait, for the most part, this fantasy is a reality.   Ha.  I’m sitting in LAX where I arrived ridiculously early for my red-eye flight back to Chicago and find myself sitting next to some rugby blokes.  You can imagine how happy (and distracted) I am at this point.  It’s fierce.

All of the guys look like this or hotter.  Ha.  (Link NSFW-ish, courtesy Dieux du Stade [also probably NSWF]).

See you on the other side...

P.S.  Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any better for me, a soccer team walks into the other side of the terminal.  This is gay heaven at LAX.

I don't know how I missed this...

...it should have been front page news on CNN or something.

Thursday was Cristiano Ronaldo's birthday.  Don't know who he is?  Well, you're missing out.  

He's a soccer player and he's really hot.

No, I've never seen him play soccer.  And I don't know if I care to because I kind of think soccer is boring.  But I have seen pictures of him, and if you haven't, you should check these out.

Super Bowl XLIII

First of all, did I get those Roman numerals correct?  I think so...  

Two football teams played an important game tonight called "The Superbowl."  It was the closing act for a truly amazing performance by the one and only Jennifer Hudson, aka the best singer in the world.

Check it out here, via Perez.

Michael Phelps actually looks hot in this pic...

...too bad he got in trouble for it.  

Michael Phelps, whom I have never thought was attractive (except for his body), was recently snapped partying a little hard.  It's pretty funny how big of a deal this picture is, I mean, it's just a (post-) college guy taking a fierce bong hit, right?  Who hasn't done that?

Rafa wins!

In a much anticipated match up between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final, Rafa pulled through five long sets of incredible tennis to beat his rival.  Federer was hoping to win his 14th Grand Slam title, tying the great Pete Sampras, but Rafa had other plans...  It was a great match.

Speaking of Rafael Nadal, I can't help but think about how hot he is!  Most notable is his left arm...  It's fierce. And he's only 22.

David Beckham for Armani

New photos of David Beckham for Armani underwear...  No preview necessary.

Thanks, PITNB.

Fired Up...

If you know me well, you know that I'm a sucker for cheerleading movies.  Bring It On has a special place in my DVD collection.  That said, this new movie called Fired Up that's coming out soon looks ridiculous.  The premise is this: the two high school football stars decide to become cheerleaders in order to score some girls.  You know what, I think there's actually a Bring It On sequel (probably number six) with the exact same plot.

I'll probably see it, let's be honest.

They're tying the knot (I think).

People magazine reveals that Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are finally confirming that they are engaged.  A sad day for single women and gay men the world over...

R.I.P., (Single) Tom Brady

It was a great run.

PS--Take your shirt off.

Skiing mishap. Funny.

Over the holidays I was in Northern Michigan where I hung out with my family, drank a lot of beer, and did some skiing.  I'm a big fan of wearing jeans under snow pants (or, as the case may be, without snow pants) because it adds another layer of warmth.  And, when you take your snow pants off to enjoy some food & drink in the lodge, you still look fashionable.

Anyways, some guy out in Vail should have learned one from me, because he got caught in an incredibly awkward situation.  Awkward for him but hilarious for the rest of us.  Check it out here, via D Listed.
