Does Michael Phelps have to worry about some potential competition between the Russian Premier and him somewhere in Siberia's cold waters?

Not soon. 

What happens when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin hits the trail?  He truly goes out to fish, swim and display his macho torso.  He also makes sure that his submarines leave for an international mission in international waters on the East Coast of the U.S. 

What to make about all this bare-chested, rough edge type of machoness?

Putin wants to become the eye candy of the world for the ladies.  Some of them may take the bait.  Others may turn him down despite all his powers and wealth.  They are just not into him" they may say.

Fresno's Lopez twins who are playing for Stanford are going to be in the news.  Robin Lopez is reportedly dating golf phenom, Michele Wie whose parents appear to give the go ahead. According to those close to the power couple, Michele saw the tall product of Fresno and started inquiring about him. 

The 2006 graduate of Fresno's San Joaquin Memorial High school is turning head wherever he goes.  Both brothers are tall attractions wherever they appear.  Now their father who walked away from their mother and the twins would like to get back into their lives.  It may be a little too late.  Kudos to the mother who raised two fine young men who are giving lots of joy to Stanford fans and the rest of the NCAA fan base. 

 

"Robin Lopez is young, famous, gifted, in the Sweet Sixteen, and dating Michelle Wie, who is legal, loaded, and should Robin see this as a benefit, often far away from home."

What happened to the Obama Campain tonight?  Hilary Clinton won Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas.  The former first lady has just become a "comeback kid" just like her husband, Bill Clinton, who has been campaigning very hard for his wife. 

After winning Vermont, Obama got stuck.  He was not winning anything.  He may get some of the delegates' vote but Clinton will get the share.

What happened to Obama's camp? 
Would the closer look by the network close the deal for Mrs. Clinton?  She appeared at the end of the skit on SNL.  Where did Bama go wrong?  Did he see it coming?

Any way, presidential candidate Hilary Clinton has a chance to stay in the campaign.  What does this mean for her?  Who is going to get the nomation?  For now, we know that John McCain has already clinched the nomination for the Republicans.  It will be just a matter of time.

It was horrible for Gisele.  Tom Brady could not do any magic to save his team.  Now fans are blaming the loss of the Patriots on the presence of Gisele.  Does this make sense at all?

New York is good to Gisele.  Soon, Tom Brady will receive some good mending from Gisele in New York.  The cameras will continue to follow him.

For sensationalism, Congressman Jefferson is accused of hiding several bills of $100 in a freezer.  Why would a powerful congressman do something like that?  Money is the answer.  Power is the other answer.  Nobody was watching.  Yet, he was apparently caught.

Now he is willing to sell everying he's ever owned to defend himself and his family.  He stepped down from the powerful Arms and Means Committee.

Young, rich and powerful Hollywood celebutantes are learning the teeth of justice.  Irked by Hilton's early release from jail at the hands of the probation department, the judge threw the book at Hilton and ordered her back into jail.  All the money that her family has could not buy her freedom.  Besides, the audience, fans and others would be unhappy if the parents could her freedom. 

Paris Hilton is learning that justice does not know celebrities.  Lindsay Lohan would better wake up to smell the coffee.  Doors are closing on celebrities' nose all over the  place.  Celebrities who are misbehaving in public are being treated poorly by judges from New York to California. 

The DreamGirls cast continues to be in the news.  After a good performance at the Golden Globes Award, Eddy Murphy and his co-stars are heading out to the Oscar.  This time, they have eight nominations.  Babel, The Queen and DreamGirls  are this year's top movies.  "Dreamgirls'.  For best picture, we have Babel, Letters from Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine, The Queen and the Departed.

``Dreamgirls'' garnered nominations for best supporting actor for Eddie Murphy and best supporting actress for Jennifer Hudson, a former ``American Idol'' contestant. The film, which follows the rise of a trio of black singers similar to the Supremes, won three Golden Globes, more than any other movie, including the award for best musical or comedy, best supporting actress for Hudson and a supporting-actor nod for Murphy. "

Here is the Complete list of the 79th Annual Academy Award/Oscar Nominees for 2007

 

Rosie is now convinced that Donald Trump is obsessed with the way she looks.  She joked about the whole insult launched at her and other people in her conditions.  ""It's the way I look. He can't resist. I love when people say you're fat like you don't know," O'Donnell joked Monday on ABC's "The View." "... It's always the first comment of someone who disagrees with you if you happen to be on the plus side.'"

"O'Donnell said she went shopping recently and "all of these plus-size women" with "tears in their eyes" approached her with words of support.

"He wounded millions of women by saying that I was fat, you know?"

Trump is the owner of the Miss Universe Organization, which includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.

The new season of his NBC reality show, "The Apprentice," premiered Sunday night."

Find out how the feud started by checking the video here!

Folks, it is not over!  Will women who are on the plus side watch the Miss Universe shows, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA?  How the Apprentice?  It is time that Donald stops insulting and fighting back.  He has overdone it.  It is time to stop the insult.  Keeping his name in the news won't endear him to women, most women.  Female consumers see a powerful white male dishing out on a female.  It is not a good image Donald wants for his companies and media. 

Donald Trump shot a few answers back at Rosie who only quipped her lips in response.  Watch the video of Donald!

Shakira Calls the Shots, "I'll Marry You, Antonio de la Rua, if you Sign This Pre-Nup Rejecting Your Rights to My Riches, Properties and Toys
There is no doubt that Shakira loves Antonio de Rua but she loves her fortune more.  The Colombian bomshell's lawyer said that it would be a grave mistake for Shakira to marry Antonio de la Rua without signing a prenuptial agreement excluding him from the Colombian singer's treasure trove.  It is ok if he brings his own money, but he can not expect to come in and inherit something he did not work for.  He will have to sign this agreement relinquishing his spousal rights to the the superstar's fortune, properties in various countries and cars.  Shakira has assets worth more than $66 million.  She has homes in Barranquilla, Colombia; Miami Beach, Bahamas, Punta del Este, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.  Getting married is the next thing to do.  The couple has been living together for quite some time.  This is the evolution of things.  She just hopes that married life is the same as living together.  "We aren't in a hurry for the State or the Church to declare us husband and wife because we already act as if we were," said the singer.  We would like to know what the Catholic church has to say about that.</DIV><BR>

Who wants to Watch Rocky Balboa Fighting any Bouts?  Watch Rosie and Donald's Bouts on Moral Compass for Young People

After watching Rosie's roaring comments on The View, I knew Donald's comments were coming.  Rosie took some good shots at the  Multimillionaire the other day.  Trump, owner of the Miss Universe organization, had to decide on whether to say "You are fired" to this year's winner, not-yet-21-year-old Tara Conner who was caught drinking alcohol and partying hardy all over town and uptown.  Rosie felt annoyed by all the publicity the old man was receiving.  She felt he should not have been in this position to determine what is right or wrong for 20-year-olds considering his past performance.  What did Rosie say that got Donald Trump, owner of Miss USA, Miss Teen  and the Apprentice?

Let us let her go to Donald's throat, "Left he first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair.  Had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America."  Audience laughed.  I was surprised.  She must have had a beef with the man.  "Donald, sit and spin, my friend," she added.  "He inherited a lot of money.  Wait a minute, and he's been bankrupt so many times where he didn't have to pay...I just think that this man is sort of  like one of those, you know, snake oil salesmen in 'Little House on the Prairie.'"  Wow, that was loaded.  Supercharged!

Of course, it did not take Donald long to file his own response to Rosie's comments.  Folks, believe me.  Things are not going to be rosy for Rosie O'Donnell.  Donald went at her with deadly blows to her inner person and what she looks like on the outside.  He did not find any good and pretty in Rosie.  "Rosie O'Donnell is disgusting, I mean both inside and out," Trump quickly shot back on The Insider.  "Take a look at her; she's a slob.  She talks like a truck driver.  Her show failed when it was a talk show, she failed on that.  The ratings went very very low and very bad and she got essentially thrown off television.  Her magazine was a total catastrophe, she got sued..."  Donald tried to rectify the matters.  "I never went bankrupt, but she said I want bankrupt.  So probably I'll sue her because it would be fun.  I'd like to take some money out of her fat-ass pockets."

Folks, this is not the end of the bouts between Donald and Rosie.  Tune in for the second round of blows.  We only have a few days left in 2006.  Do not miss this match of words and wits! 

We all know that Britney said that she was sorry for the recent behavior.  She is sorry for going out to party with her friends without wearing underwear.  She also shared with her fans that she has found the new line of underwear by Victoria's Secrets.  Britney appeared to have shown the symptoms of many women who break free of a relationship.  They go out to party, but most of them do not pantyless.  Maybe it is time that Britney's parents and entourage start reminding her that she exercises an influence on her fans, mostly little girls who want to grow up to like her or who emulating her antics.  If she wants to sell more music to the tween, she needs to get their respect too.  Furthermore, she is now the mother of two young boys.  They would not like to see these pictures spread all over the Web when they grow up.

If Britney wants to be a classy lady, she needs to abide by some social etiquettes.  She needs to remember how to sit in public.  Even if she wanted to go out without panties, she could try to close her legs when sitting down.  Or she could wear pants or a longer dress.  It is not new in Los Angeles and Hollywood area.  Most of the actresses, specially the young ones, often take the liberty or licence to go out without underwear.  But when these stars know they will have to face paparazzi who will want to photograph them in unbecoming ways (upskirting etc), they may want to dress appropriately.  Many people are saying that these antics were publicity ploys.  Still, they show that the social etiquettes rules were not practiced.  There is a deficiency of values in this area.

Britney Spears's pictures and videos show the length a star is willing to go to get noticed.  These days, she has no dogs/pets picture time to call attention to her projects and herself.  Where are the Chihuahua pets?  Where is Paris Hilton's pet?
