Lotsa Lira for Victoria Beckham to be on Italian TV

The Italians really, really like Victoria Beckham. Here, ”really, really” is best understood as ”they’ve offered her $16M to do a reality show for Italian TV.”
That’s only the most money offered to any TV hostess in Italy.
Why the interest? David Beckham will be on “loan” to AC Milan in the LA Galaxy’s offseason to keep his soccer skills sharp. (Did that underwear […]

Beckhams’ Stuff on eBay?

Are you the type who got really excited when you found out that some of Gisele Bundchen’s ice was up for auction? Or are you the type who can’t understand why people pay big bucks to have second-hand stuff just ’cause it belonged to a celeb? (Guess which camp we’re in.)
Either way, we’ve got just […]

Now You, Too, Can Dress Like Victoria Beckham

Come on, all the cool kids are doing it. And you know you want to as well.
Who wouldn’t want to dress like David Beckham’s wife?
Sure, it means a daily caloric intake of about 700 calories and a permanently affixed expression akin to the one you had the day after your first pet died. But it’s a small […]

David Beckham’s Life As Told . . . In Showtunes

Move over Jesus Christ Superstar, The Who’s Tommy, and Godspell.  A new rock opera could be hitting London’s West End: David Beckham—The Theatre of Dreams.
(No, that’s not a joke. Heck, don’t you think we’d come up with a better title if it were?)
People.com reports that librettist Mark Archer is chatting with producers to bring his obviously unhealthy fixation […]

Awarding Olympic Medals to Athlete-Celebrity Couples

In honor of the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing, we decided to award a few medals of our own. The event is Athlete-Celebrity Couples, and they will be judged on Hotness, Likability, and Endurance Potential (each category is worth 10 points; a perfect score would be 30 points).
In no particular order: 
Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly
Hotness: 9.7  […]

New England Revolution Slide Tackles Naked Airline Passenger

Well, they didn’t literally slide tackle the guy, but members of the New England Revolution did help subdue a fellow American Airlines passenger who presumably thought the Boston-to-LA flight was clothing optional.
Cue the circus music. Or the Looney Tunes theme song. Or both, and then hit repeat.
The leading candidate for Whackjob of the Week honors […]

We’re All Feelin’ Good at b5 Sports

No, not that kind of feelin’ good. What do you think we are, a bunch of virtual party animals who show up on the blog with a buzz? ”Feelin’ Good” here means posts about something positive, charitable, or all around “Awwww!”.
Sure, it’s antithetical to our nature (and the frozen heart we keep in the freezer) to talk about […]

VIDEO: Player Invokes Hannibal Lecter, Bites Soccer Ref on the Chin

Who knew that Hannibal Lecter had long-lost relatives who played soccer in Delaware?
The soccer player in this news clip (1m, 3s) did his impression of McGruff the Crime Dog on Opposite Day: instead of taking a bite out of crime, he committed a crime by taking a bite.
Huh?
To him, getting thrown out of a soccer game […]

The tighty-whities campaign hit the billboards on Wednesday and is slated for Vanity Fair and other print media in August. Here are a couple of shots from the ladykiller ads, which are likely to inspire optimistic wives and girlfriends everywhere […]

The b5 Sports Channel on the Worst of This, That, and the Other Thing

Well, well, well. We aren’t the only tongue-in-cheek Debbie Downers around here; the rest of the b5 media Sports Channel had something to say about the “worsts” in sports, too. 
Here’s what the whole gang of us had to say:

Allison Boyer of BCS Frenzy reflects on last season with the five worst BCS teams of 2007.
Tony Baldwin of […]
