Sports Buzz A blog tells the story behind all the athletes who placed last in various events at the Olympics. Sometimes, the losers are so much more interesting than the winners. This is, of course, coming from someone who’s kind of a loser.
TV Buzz The gold medalist has delivered NBC with some huge ratings, but he’s yet to trump The Golden Girls, which continues to hold the record for Saturday night numbers. People might like watching Michael Phelps in a Speedo, but nothing beats Bea Arthur in a mauve pleather pantsuit. There’s just no contest.
Sports Buzz Young wrestler Henry Cejudo, the son of unauthorized migrants, has just won the gold for the U.S. American nativists want him deported. Thanks to the Olympics, I’m having an epiphany that there are a lot of really racist people in the world.
A round-up of girls kissing at the Olympics. This photo deserves the tagline “Every Parents’ Nightmare” possibly more so than those Gossip Girl ads.
Sports Buzz The fashion model who is reportedly dating Michael Phelps, despite being linked to Amanda Beard, an Olympic swimmer who posed nude in Playboy. They both have such adorably crooked teeth!
Am I the only one who finds these Olympics gymnastics photos kind of risque? For the pedophile in all of us! No, just kidding. Stay away, Humbert Humberts!
Sports Buzz Disgusted with losing on points in the semi-finals against the later gold medalist Andrea Minguzzi, Abrahamian tossed his bronze medal onto the wrestling mat after receiving it and left. And then he pouted and harrumphed off to his room with his arms crossed.
Sports Buzz She’s the voice behind the patriotic anthem sung at the Opening Ceremony, performed by a cuter, more TV-friendly lip-syncer named Lin Miaoke. People are up in arms about this, but it’s not news that the world is a superficial place. Hasn’t anybody ever seen that movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs???
Sports Buzz The Chinese are suspected of fielding underage gymnasts, who are typically lighter and more audacious, to compete in the Olympics. Underage workers, they’re not just in sweatshops!
There are some awkward photos of George W. Bush hanging out with Olympic volleyball players at the Beijing Olympics. It literally looks like he’s about to tap that ass.
Sports Buzz The olympic gold medalist and world record-holder has positioned himself as an advocate and ambassador of swimming for reluctant black children. He’s only the third African-American swimmer to make the U.S. Olympic squad. So far, it seems like the sport of swimming manages to attract a lot of atypical, anomalous athletes (see also: Natalie du Toit, Dara Torres, and Laure Manaudou).
British athletes are showing off their nude bodies in a new advertisement for Powerade. Is it just me or is that blueish lighting really unflattering, kind of casting a dead monster light on Rebecca Romero?
Houston was photographed outside Tru Hollywood Nightclub in Los…
