• Police have determined that 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi shot & killed ex-Titans QB Steve McNair, ruling the deaths a murder-suicide.

• Seems sadly ironic that McNair had filmed a PSA about suicide prevention just a few weeks before. And Steve’s wife was reportedly “blindsided” by her husband’s affair.

• Interesting that Sahel had recently put up all her furniture for sale. More interesting that her ex-boyfriend performed a rap about shooting someone.

• During Michael Jackson’s memorial service, Magic Johnson recalls his fondest memory of the “King of Pop” - sittin’ on the floor & eatin’ KFC.

We’ve been entertained by the amusing antics of Joanna Krupa, as the buxom blonde beauty berated teammate Terrell Owens during their debut appearance on ABC’s “Superstars”. (The network execs must have enjoyed it, too, as the J.K.-T.O. team were invited back on the show even after being eliminated.) If only there was another cute Krupa to care about.

Lucky enough, there is! Joanna happens to have a sister by the name of Marta - and she’s just as marvelous to admire as her T.O.-trashing sibling. Don’t believe me? Then check out more photographic evidence after the jump.

Much like the U.S. soccer team in the Confederations Cup, Terrell Owens and Joanna Krupa faced certain elimination in ABC’s time-wasting action-packed series “The Superstars,” only to come back in semi-triumph. Yes, America’s favorite couple are still alive, as you surely know from watching last night. What do you mean you read a book instead? This isn’t Russia! (It isn’t Russia, is it?).

The Dysfunctional Duo made us all chortle last week during the show’s debut, when Owens had a little trouble with the obstacle course and caused his team to be the first one eliminated. Krupa, not amused by T.O.’s clumsiness, went all Kate Gosselin on him, to everyone’s horror/amusement (pick one). Krupa talked about her meltdown recently on ESPN’s “First Take” with Dana Jacobson, video below. Read more…

In the end, Terrell Owens met his downfall the way that most great athletes do — tangled in cargo netting. Owens and teammate Joanna Krupa were the first team eliminated during Tuesday night’s debut of “Superstars” on ABC, which paired athletes with celebrities in a series of athletic stunts. And in a sort of glorious cosmic justice, Krupa spent most of the show cursing T.O. for his ineptitude.

Ha. The look on T.O.’s face is priceless, as you’ll see in the video below. Sample dialogue: T.O.: “Let’s go!” Krupa: “No ‘let’s go!’ You f***** up. We could have won.” (T.O. looks forlorn). Who is Joanna Krupa, you ask? Suffice it to say she’s a rather gifted model. Photos below. Read more…

Summer is just around the corner, and that can only mean one thing - a new series of ABC’s “The Superstars” will soon be upon us! The show that is to athletic endeavor what “Dancing With The Stars” is to … um, dancing, is set to kick off on June 23. (Although I admit I often get “The Superstars” confused with “Battle of the Network Stars”. Speaking of, when’s “BNS” gonna get it’s own 21st-century revival, huh?)

(Kent & Landry - kicking butt this summer on ABC!)

Anyway, Tom Hoffarth of FARTHER OFF THE WALL gives us the scoop on what agile athletes will compete in this season’s run - and who’ll be pared up with which “celebrity”. (Tom’s quotes, not mine - although I’d be inclined to agree with most of the upcoming examples.)

For instance, former L.A. Dodger/San Francisco Giant, Vin Scully hater & gay marriage opponent Jeff Kent will be on the program. So some folks may be enticed to tune in just to root against Jeff. But many others will watch probably because of Kent’s predetermined teammate: Ali Landry.

(More pics of Ali & others to pique your interest after the jump.)
