Half Nude Men in ESPN Magazine – Photos

October 14, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Do you really care why these fine male specimens are half naked and sitting around a locker room gabbing about Top Chef? I didn’t think so, but in case you want to read this “for the articles” here is some rambling for you.

ESPN has resorted to nudity to sell magazines. The cover of their Body Issues (mag issues not ‘does this helmet cover my dong and simultaneously make me look fat? body issues) feature athletes of various sports naked or near naked (never nudes). I have no clue as to who half of these people are. Unless it is Brian Urlacher (Call me baby. It’s ok you were Paris’ plaything. We will double bag it and get some Tilex.), celebrity athletes all look the same.

So enjoy the soft core ESPN porn.

Cristiano Ronaldo To Replace David Beckham

October 9, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Was the person who made this decision high as a kite? Italian fashion designer Armani says soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo will model underwear and jeans in a new worldwide advertising campaign, replacing current model David Beckham, in their spring-summer 2010 collection. *Blankly Stares* Yes, I can’t believe what my eyes are reading either… Beckham stripped down for Emporio Armani last year. He has also posed for the brand with his wife Victoria and the two currently head the Emporio Armani autumn/winter underwear campaign.

Per EiTB:

“This time it’s the turn of the international media’s favourite footballer; one that plays for Real Madrid, drinks champagne with Paris Hilton in Los Angeles and sails his boat around the Mediterranean,” concludes La Gazzeta.

Who’s idea of a joke was it to hire this greaseball? Ronaldo will be feature on billboards for Armani’s younger clothes section in all of Europe’s major cities as of February next year, with the advertising campaign will most likely taking place in Milan. This isn’t the fist time Ronaldo has replaced Beckham; he also replaced him in the United team in 2003 after Beckham signed for Real. But don’t feel bad for Beckham just yet — He is currently developing his own Beckham-branded men’s underwear line, hoping to launch by fall 2010, so his days of half naked billboards are far from over!

David Beckham Booed, Calls Out a Drunk Fan – Video and Photos

July 20, 2009 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

David Beckham was booed in his first game back in California in the LA Galaxy versus AC Milan match. The walking Armani ad didn’t please the crowd as he took to the field on Sunday. Fans yelled their disapproval and booed loudly. As his name was announced over the field the crowd sneered and voiced their distaste. After he first got his feet on the ball the audience again showed no mercy and continued their boos.

People held up signs with the words “Go Home Fraud” and “Hey Becks, Here Before You, Here After You, Here Despite You” in bold print emblazoned on them. People wearing his jersey with a line crossing through his number were also present. At one point David tried to confront a Galaxy fan from the playing field. He walked up and asked the heckler to come down to the field. Security had to pull the two apart.

He is lacking a positive fan base in U.S. soccer partly in thanks to his desire to return to the European football circuit because the level of play in the U.S. isn’t up to his standards. Meanwhile, he has failed to make a huge impression in the American team. He brings people to the stands, but isn’t winning games.

One soccer fan put it best when telling me:

“David is great for getting people’s attention. But that is just it. He is a celebrity first and a soccer player second. Which is said because there might be talent there beneath his polished and buffed spoiled ass.”

Paris Ditches Doug Reinhardt, Hooks Up with Cristiano Ronaldo

June 11, 2009 By Holly Stafford 2 Comments

Come on, who didn’t see this one coming a mile away? Serial dater Paris Hilton has called it quits with her flavor of the month, Doug Reinhardt, after the pair reportedly had a huge blow up at a club, leaving Paris running out to leave in tears.

Per People:

“In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy,” a rep for Hilton says. “They remain friends and we ask that you please respect their privacy. Paris will not discuss the relationship further.”

This comes as quite a turn of events, as Paris and Doug were talking just 3 days ago about how much they were looking forward to their anniversary. As recently as April, Hilton also declared that she’d wed Reinhardt. Yeah honey, think its time to put that wedding gown back in the closet until the next guy shows up…. But wait! The next guy HAS shown up!! Not even 24 hours after Paris ended things with Doug, she’s already shacking up with a new man – Soccer star Cristian Ronaldo. Paris and sister Nicky Hilton hit up club MyHouse where Ronaldo was out having a good time with some friends, and proceeded to sit themselves down at their table. Didn’t take long for Hilton and Ronaldo to get comfortable around eachother, as its being reported that the duo couldn’t keep their hands off eachother!

Per X17:

“Cristiano and Paris were all over each other swapping spit the entire night! His table needed every waitress in the building to service the large quantities of alcohol, and he spent an excess of 20 thousand dollars on champagne and drinks.”

After the club, Ronaldo left with the Hilton sisters to head back to Nicky’s place and was caught on camera leaving around 5am. Its no secret Paris has had her eye on the soccer stud for quite some time now, attempting to work her Hilton-Charm on him last July. Apparently then, Ronaldo had no interest in the sex-tape star. Wonder how long this will last….Given the pairs dating history, I give it a week.
