For many of us, Simona Halep’s abrupt breast reduction was a sad, slightly strange tale. Why would a semi-accomplished yet obscure pro tennis player have her breasts reduced shortly after her career highlight? (Winning the Junior French Open.)

(Translation: The blacked out word starts with “T” and ends with “S”)
It now goes without saying that […]

Can’t say we expected this one. After ticking off just about everybody from Ron Paul to Paula Abdul, Brüno has offended a most unlikely group: the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s not-so-subtly gay Austrian fashionista took a trip to the States for his latest movie, and stopped off in Los Angeles to do […]

Sports cable TV outlet Versus recently launched a new show called Fanarchy. The production is loosely based on the ESPN’s Around The Horn, but instead of sportswriters, the Versus version features webcam-tethered fans as the protagonists.

From the show’s website:
Each week the webcammers will stake out hard-core opinions (not necessarily expert, but always entertaining) and do […]

When Tiger Woods accepted Jimmy Fallon’s PR stunt challenge to take him on at the “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10″ video game for the Wii, you can imagine that Woods was hardly sweating bullets. After all, it’s his game. And while I know that doesn’t mean that John Madden would be good at video game […]

Tensions had been brewing for some time, but the war between Jon Stewart and the baseball fans of Philadelphia officially got underway on Thursday at approximately 11:14 p.m. EST. Ironically, it was during a segment on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” in which the host was attempting to lampoon North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, […]

We’ll freely admit to having been skeptical of Rodney Harrison as a genuine media personality when word got out that he was retiring and joining the NFL on NBC staff. A dirty player who immediately gets into overaggressive bombast about the state of the sport that earned him eight figures? How do we say… no.

(Do […]

Dan Steinberg at DC SPORTS BOG has the latest on Tony Kornheiser’s seemingly cratered D.C. media career, transcribing comments from Commander Combover during a D.C. radio appearance this week.

(Took this on Venice Beach this week … vaguely applicable? OK, maybe not.)
Apparently Kornheiser, who was recently let go by the WaPo and nudged out of […]

Artie Lange took a little time off from admiring donuts and chain smoking Marlboros to appear on Michael Irvin’s radio show on Tuesday, and revealed what we’d pretty much assumed all along. His profanity-filled, over-the-top grossout performance during the debut airing of HBO’s “Joe Buck Live” last week was pretty much custom ordered by HBO […]

Sometimes a video comes along that’s so perfect, anything we add to it would be superfluous; the best thing we can do is just stand back and let the magic happen.

(We were tempted to photoshop a T-Pain hat onto Allen Iverson, but it would have been a little too esoteric.)
This would be one of those […]

In case you hadn’t noticed, and after these many years it’s okay if you hadn’t, Chris Chelios has been around forever. For-eh-vur. The 47-year-old has literally spent a majority of his life as a player in the NHL, breaking into the league with Montreal during the 1983-84 season. Yeah, back when “Jump” was the hot […]
