I Smell Smut

Ok, this kid is cracking me up.  Here is Shaun White at the Vanity Fair party in some hilarious pants and totally owning his individuality.  Way to rock it, Shaun.

Apparently this kid is like the Tiger Woods of snowboarding.  He won an Olympic gold medal in 2006 and 2010, blowing his competition out of the water.  He is also the only athlete ever to medal in both the summer and winter X-Games.  I guess he is a skateboarder too.  Additionally, Red Bull built him his own half pipe in Colorado that he needs to be airlifted into.  Pretty sweet, eh?

Anyways, I was trying ot find a video of his Olympic run but found this video from when he was just 11 years old.  Sometimes people are just born to do one thing.  It looks like this is it for him.

Tanya: Props to Shaun for being a little ‘out there’ but I don’t think this fits into the Oscar Party dress code. And it’s the same thing he wore for his Rolling Stone cover which makes me think he wore those pants so people would know who he is.

So my favorite story from the entire Olympics is that of my favorite gossip blogger, Lainey, being accused of getting Scott Lago kicked out of the Olympics after he won his medal.

So the story goes, Scott Lago won a bronze medal for the USE, then was photographed out later having some chick doing some inappropriate things to the medal.  The US Olympic commission caught wind of it and asked him to leave.

Separately, last week at the Olympics, Lainey of laineygossip.com, was invited to Micahel Phelps’s Olympic party.  If you have been reading our blog long enough you will know that we always talk about our Freebie Five which is a big part of Lainey’s blog, and her #1 during the Summer Olympics was Michael Phelps.  So Dan Levy and Jessi Cruickshank of MTV Canada (whom I love) were on CTV with her before said party and dared her to try and kiss him on the check when she was posing for a picture with him.  Bonus points would have been allotted if she could find out what type of cologne he was wearing plus more if she could get his phone number.  Lainey blogged about the experience and it was pretty funny.  Unfortunately, Lainey had no luck on the kiss but Jessi was able to get much closer.

Then Scott Lago went on Jimmy Kimmell to talk about the fact that he was asked to leave by the US Olympic committee.  All was good until he explained that his friend who is also friends with Michael Phelps, recognized the girl in the photos with him as the same girl that was trying to “make out” with Michael Phelps during his party.  See photos above for reference.

Ummmmm…..

Clearly not the same person.

And what is funny is that a bunch of gossip sites jumped on the story and started blaming Lainey for this guy getting kicked out of the Olympics, which she was all bent out of shape about.  Lainey, I totally love you, but you have to admit that the irony of the situation is pretty funny.

However, for Scott Lago, this makes him look incredibly ignorant.  Firstly, Not all Asian people look the same.  Maybe before going on national television and blaming one person for something that someone else did, he should get his facts straight.  Secondly, maybe he should try taking responsibility for his actions rather than placing responsibility on someone else.  Because this is classic spoiled athlete/celebrity behaviour.  Hey!  Its not my fault!  That girl over there made me do it!  I am an innocent victim.

Why not just say “Hey, I made a bad decision.  I am sorry.”  Because now not only does Scott look like a brat, he also looks like a bigot.  Icky.

Its pretty funny though how Lainey managed to get tangled up in all this.  The blogger becomes the bloggee.

Tanya: This feels so Perez Hilton-y. Calling people out and then getting upset when they call you out = uncool. It’s funny because it’s not really her and I don’t blame her for defending herself. Sorry for laughing at your expense Lainey, but it is a pretty funny story

Because I am so proud of all of our Canadian athletes, I need to take a minute to brag about the 14 gold medals that were won at the Vancouver Olympics.  Way to go Canada!  Thank you to all of the athletes who trained so hard and dedicated so much of their lives to competing on behalf of our country!  Congrats to all the athletes who won a medal and thank you to each and every one of the athletes who competed at the games.  You made us all proud!

And because I am super biased to hockey, particularly men’s hockey, how awesome was that game yesterday?  Double Gold (men’s and women’s) on home soil!  The entire country is in one big mass celebration today.  So proud of our boys to go out there beat our arch rival and bring home the big prize!  It was a pleasure to watch the best our country has to offer on the ice at the same time.  Even though we may hate some of the players during the regular season, you can’t help but love them a little when they brought us home that gold!  Woohoo!

I am kinda sad the Olympics are over though.  We just recently got cable at our house so that we could watch the Games.  What am I going to do now that they are over?

Tanya: Yay Canada!! I didn’t watch much of the Olympics but what I did watch filled me with Canadian pride We did AWESOME! And how great was the men’s hockey game to finish it all off? Olympic overtime for the gold. So amazing. The only way to get more patriotic is to cook up some bacon, slather it with maple syrup and wash it all down with some local beer while wearing your “Canada” jersey/jacket/body paint. Mmmmmm. I think I need to go make some breakfast….

Click here to see a super funny video with The Iceman, Chuck Liddell, and his super hot companion working out butt ass nekkid.  Too funny!  Unfortunately, we are unable to post it here as both You Tube and TMZ have disabled the ability to copy the embedding code.

Is this a new trend?  Working out in the nude?

I hope not.  I barely like working out clothed let alone nude.  I think that this would be bad for my self esteem.  Mostly because lighting in gyms is generally pretty bad.  It tends to create lumps and bumps where there aren’t any to begin with.  And quite frankly, I don’t need to see any men working out nude.  There are just certain areas of the male body that this would not do any favors for.

Thanks to my hubby for findng this super funny video. Apparently, this is for a Reebok campaign.  All you need is your Reebok shoes?  I don’t know.

Tanya: If everyone were in great shape like these two it might not be so bad but most people at the gym are not fit like that. It would be rolls and hair everywhere. Can you imaging getting on a stationary bike after someone *BARF*

The grossest part of the video is the cameraman’s heavy breathing. It made me feel uncomfortable.

This is a great marketing strategy though. We’re talking about it

Just wanted to give a shout-out to our ladies hockey team for bringing home the gold and for being a bunch of baad ass b*tches who are in trouble with the IOC for drinking beers and smoking cigars on the ice.

Hats off to you ladies for kicking ass and keeping it classy, the Canadian way.

Stacey:Firstly, I would like to say that I am so proud of them for winning gold.  And while I think its ok to celebrate (hell, they won Olympic gold!)  I also feel that you need to do it in a way that is respectful to your competitors.  And while we can get into a huge debate over whether or not athletes are roll models, the fact of the matter is when you are on they Olympic team, you are an ambassador for our country.  This was inappropriate.  I would be ashamed if this was how the world viewed us.  This is something that I would expect from the Americans (remember how they put our flag on the floor of their dressing room), not the Canadian girls.

So Tiger Woods just go through with his “apology”…did you see?

In case you didn’t, let me recap it for you:

I’m sorry…blah blah blah…I did something bad…yadda yadda…I’m sorry to the kids all over the world who look up to me…*yawn*…there is no one to blame but me…fake cry, pause for dramatic effect…aaaaand scene.

Ya, that was pretty much it.  And it was lame-o.  He read from a piece of paper, stumbled over his words, seemed contrite and like it was staged and fake.

Sorry Tiger, but I didn’t buy it for a second.  Maybe try showing some real emotion.  Maybe try seeming sincere. Maybe try to appear less like a robot and more like a human.

Noticeably absent was his wife, Elin.  Good for her.  Obviously, he would have needed her to be there in order for most to forgive him.  If she could forgive him, so should the rest of us.  But she hasn’t forgiven him.

We’ll see if everyone else does.

Tanya: My favourite part when when he got a flicker of anger in his eyes and demanded that people leave his family out of it. Think they’ll listen? I’ve also held the belief that Elin attacked him with a golf club for so long now that when Tiger said there “has never been an episode of violence” in his marriage I don’t really believe him.

Here’s Brad Pitt and Maddox (who is in his New Orleans Saints jersey) headed to Miami to go watch the Superbowl. The Jolie-Pitts have a house in New Orleans so I guess that makes the Saints their home team.

Go Saints!

Update: Turns out Angie joined them too.

Stacey:Ahh yes, after all the break up rumors, they show up at the most watched television event of the year.  How convenient.  And now the Brangeloonies will be claiming that awesome and healing love of The Brange and Maddox helped the Saints to a Super Bowl Championship.

So unless you live under a rock you have probably heard all about Tiger Woods and his alleged “transgressions”.  So far, 13 women have come forward claiming affairs, some of which include porn stars, escorts, and strippers.  At first, he wasn’t coping to anything, pretty much denying anything.  But since these woman have voice mails, pictures, texts, he has had no other choice but to admit what has happened.  And since then, some of his biggest endorsement deals have dropped him; Gatorade and Gillette have been the first.

This weekend Tuger released a statement saying he is taking a break from golf:

I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.

I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.

After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.

Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.

So the question is, if he ever comes back, will the world forgive him?  We forgave Kobe didn’t we?  And will his wife?  Or is this too little too late after being embarrassed in front of the whole world?

Tanya: Gatorade dropped Tiger before this whole thing happened, and Gillette is “limiting” his sponsorship after he said he’s taking an indefinite leave from golf so I don’t think it’s fair to say that all the sponsors are dropping him because of the cheating. If he was still playing I’m sure his sponsors would keep him around, albeit in a limited role.

I’ve gotta say I feel bad for Tiger for how this whole thing has just been HUGE. Yes he brought it upon himself and there is no excuse for his actions but not many other athletes get hounded to this extent when they get busted cheating. Even Kobe who had rape charges against him. And I feel even worse for Elin. It’s got to be devastating to learn of your husbands infidelity, but to have a whole ho train on national television? Not cool. Maybe now the media will back off this for a bit.

Stacey: I don’t feel bad for him for one second.  Sleeping with all those women and, if the rumors were true, without protection.  He was being reckless and irresponsible and put his wife in a position where she couldn’t choose whether or not she wanted to be in a relationship with someone who is sexually promiscuous.  Its selfish and dangerous.  What if he had contracted an STD?  Sorry, but feel bad for Tiger?  I think not.

And I don’t believe for a second that Gatorade was already thinking of dropping him.  And his first major endorsement dropped him over the weekend as well, Accenture.

And while Kobe was accused of rapping that women, I don’t believe he actually did.  Just like Kobe, f Tiger plays well when he comes back, all will be forgotten.  We love winners.

Tanya: “The decision to drop the drink, called Tiger Focus, was first reported by trade publication Beverage Digest in an issue dated Nov. 25, two days before the incident at Woods’ home in Florida. The publication’s editor, John Sicher, said he learned of the decision the week of Nov. 9.” Huffington Post

(Video: Us Weekly)

Unless you live under a rock you have probably heard about the whole Tiger Woods cheating/wife chasing him with a gold club incident.  Well, turns out this wasn’t the only time.  Us Weekly reported yesterday that another woman has come forward claiming a 30 month affair with the golf star.  My first thought was “ya right”.  You know how it normally goes; once there is one claim of an affair, every hooker under the sun comes forward trying to make a buck.  Well, turns out, there may be something to this one.  This new girl has a voicemail where Woods begs her to change her voicemail as he fears his wife is onto him.

Can I speak for every woman out there who has been cheated and say “asshole”!  Its bad enough to be cheated on but to now be embarrassed by having every raggedy ass mistress come out of the wood works to say they banger your husband?  Ouch.

My hubby said he couldn’t understand why Tiger cheated, his wife is “so hot”.  Well, we all know that isn’t really what cheating is about.

And Tiger must be kicking himself now.  He is known for being fiercely private.  Now we now why; He’s a two timing pig.  He is going to have to work extra hard if he ever wants to get back in the public’s good graces.  I wonder how much money he stands to lose from endorsement deals?  What an idiot.  Risking it all for some extra marital pooty tang.  What a douche.

Tanya: I dunno… Tiger is very private, and this whole situation is a PR disaster. I don’t know where his people are but someone needs to step up and do something. The more secretive he is about this the more we’re going to want to know and the more we’re going to believe something is going on. What’s also weird is that the first alleged mistress that was reported last week is denying the whole thing but she’s also hired a really high profile lawyer. Not sure why she needs it if nothing happened – maybe she’s going to sue the National Enquirer? (lol, I was just able to listen to this – SO BUSTED!!! LOL!!!)

UPDATE: Tiger has released a statement on his website:

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

This post is for my wonderful, amazing, spectacular co-blogger.  Today is her last day at work before moving on to her next gig and it has been a slow week.  So here is some Derek Jeter love for her to get her through the last day.

Good news, Her Yankees won last night, still in the hunt for the World Series Championship.  While I can’t share her enthusiasm for baseball (I’d rather watch paint dry) I can share her enthusiasm for Derek.  He is ever so dreamy.

So Tanya, I hope you have a great last day!  xoxo

Tanya: Awwww! Thanks Stacey!! Last days are always bittersweet – happy to move on but sad to leave all the awesome people you’ve made friends with, and I am leaving behind some really awesome people. The new gig is with an online pharmacy so I guess you could say I’m “into drugs” now. Posts will probably be light from me the next few weeks as I get settled.

GO YANKEES! WoooO!
