What Maria wants, Maria doesn’t always get. (We aren’t even talking about a Wimbledon 2008 trophy, which her second-round loss renders null).
Russia put the kibosh on tennis player Maria Sharapova’s request to carry the flag during the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.
Gasp! Could it be that they think the Siberian-born 6′3″ blonde is too Americanized and […]

Whoever said sports don’t pay clearly didn’t spend some time perusing Forbes’ Celebrity 100. To be honest, we’re not even sure if anyone ever said that, but if they did, boy, would we have a bone to pick with them.
Tiger Woods (2—and still holding his own at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines) and David Beckham (5) […]

Man, have the celebrities been snubbing us when it comes to their birthday parties. (Was it something we said? It’s OK, we can take it. Really).

In our previous post, we promised a return to the usual snark. We weren’t a-bluffin’.

In honor of Maria Sharapova’s 6-1, 2-6, 6-0 win over Vera Zvonareva at the Qatar Open, we’ve decided to give the people what they want: A Maria montage.

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week, we’re in the mood for matchmaking. Here are 6 hook-ups in the sports-celebrity world that we’d like to see (for blog foddah purposes, natch).

Whew! We dug up so many fun items for our end-of-year list that we split it in two. In Part I, we listed the Best first. Here we’re shaking things up a bit—because shaking invokes “shaken,” which puts us in the mood for NYE martinis—and putting Worst at the head of the line.
