It’s pretty sick when you can be a dog killer and still be honored by your teammates and coach. Not only did the Falcons coach mention at Monday’s football game (the Falcons took on the Saints) that he hoped Vick would be back, playing in the NFL, after he is released from prison a few years down the road, but two of his former teammates have paid tribute to their fallen comrade. I don’t get the mentality of those who honor a man who so brutality killed animals, but that’s just me.

DeAngelo Hall, who held up signs and wore MV7 under both eyes as he played, had this to say about his former teammate.

We’re still blaming him for losses we’re getting as a team and he’s not even here to play,” Hall said. “It’s a catch-22 he can’t win.”

WR Roddy Hall made his own t-shirt, which he wore under his jersey during the game. At one point, during the first quarter, he lifted up his jersey to reveal the shirt, which clearly said, “Free Mike Vick” on it. The black shirt with white letters made a splash during another rough game for the Falcons, who lost to New Orleans 34-14. White spoke of the effect Vick’s absence had on the team after the game.

Just a week after finally announcing her pregnancy with husband/singer, Marc Antony, Jennifer Lopez has been hospitalized. The singer/actress reportedly noticed blood in her urine and was rushed to the hospital immediately. It has been reported that fear of something happening to the baby is part of what kept J Lo so hush hush despite a clearly evident baby bump that has been discussed for a few months now. Her due date is possibly in the Spring, though that has not been confirmed by the couple.

Jennifer and Marc have been touring North America together. It was at a Miami concert that Jennifer recently announced:

“Marc and I are expecting!

Now, a friend is saying J Lo has been petrified of harm coming to her child. Multiple Internet sources report the friend as saying:

Everybody’s favorite drug using record breaker may be ending up in the slammer instead of in the Hall of Fame books. Yes, Barry if you lie about taking steroids and they find out about it, you do get in trouble. Further insisting your innocence just makes you look bad. I mean, who else is Barry B.? It seems a little funny that his trainer just happened to have steroid injection appointments for Barry B. Bonds insists it wasn’t him. It must have been Barry Bottoms or Barry Booker. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Unfortunately for Ba Bo….a grand jury simply didn’t believe there was another Barry B. who wasn’t him. Smart jury! There is also allegedly more proof of steroid use by Bonds, which has recently become available. As a result, he has been indicted. The charges Bonds faces include perjury and obstruction of justice. Bonds had testified before a Federal Jury that he had never used performance enhancing drugs, a claim that is being disputed.

Anyone who bulks up 240 lbs. and suddenly is a super slugger has something going on in their life. The indictment came after an intensive, four year federal investigation. Bonds not only just broke Hank Aaron’s record (unfairly) and was supposed to reign as the home run king of baseball, he was also recently let go by the San Francisco Giants. Wow…thems the breaks Barry. Guess you shouldn’t have done steroids and then lied about it, eh?

Ellen has taken a lot of heat lately for her tearful plea to get a dog back that she gave to her hairdresser’s family. However, now people are saying when it comes to Ellen, this behavior is pretty common. Howard Stern claims that he knows of about nine dogs that Ellen has done this to, in the past. Granted, it’s Howard Stern we’re talking about, but he’s not the only one making these claims.

Kerri Randles is a L.A. producer who is telling Page Six that Ellen adopted her male dog Stormy two years ago. Randles says Ellen had the dog two months or less before she gave him away to one of her staff members.

TMZ contacted PETA to see if they could get a statement on the Ellen situation. For those that don’t know, Ellen adopted a dog from a shelter and gave it away to her hairdresser’s family when she realized the dog wouldn’t mesh with her cats. The agency has since removed the animal from the new family’s home claiming that Ellen broke the rules in the contract even though they made many exceptions (no application or home study) to give the dog to Ellen in the first place.

PETA told TMZ:
“At a time when so many people in Hollywood, like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, are making impetuous “pet” purchases, PETA commends Ellen for adopting a homeless animal from a shelter rather than buying a dog. Every animal purchased from a pet store is a virtual death sentence for an animal desperately waiting in a shelter for a home.”

Esquire Magazine has made Charlize Theron as the sexiest woman in the entire world. In the past this was a title that has been held by beauties such as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Biel, and Scarlett Johansson.

While I think Charlize is seriously hot I am not convinced that she’s the sexiest woman in the entire world. She certainly has her moments of WTF, though with her blonde locks and hot figure she does look great. She looks even better when you take her age into account.

So, what do you think? Does Charlize deserve the title of sexiest woman in the world?

Elliott Yamin has become a pretty popular guy since he was booted from American Idol a few seasons ago. It’s funny how that works. The winner, Taylor Hicks, is known for being the worst selling Idol winner of all time, yet the contestants that lost to him couldn’t be doing better.

While Yamin is still technically an independent artist, his first CD had the highest debut of an album by an independent artist ever. His single, “Wait for You” has also been the fourth most played song of the year. Yamin is set to release his second CD on October 14. This particular CD is featured by NBC’s Sounds of the Season.

NBC chooses individual artists to put their own spin on classic holiday songs. Yamin is one of three artists that were chosen. The CDs go on sale exclusively at Target on the 14 for $6.99.

When I think Bob Barker, I think Plinko and the scene were he beats the hell out of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. I usually don’t think about a sexist, racist kind of guy. However, someone seems to think that Bob Barker isn’t just sunshine and rainbows. He’s a jerk.

On October 4, a lawsuit was filed against Barker for wrongful termination and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed by Deborah Curling, a CBS employee who claims that Barker is guilty of sexual harassment and racial discrimination, which made the work environment incredibly hostile.

CelebTV is reporting that Curling and other employees (according to Curling) were “exposed to sexual and mental harassment, abuse, and racial discrimination. Defendant Barker created an atmosphere of terror on the show, as a result of which any employee who complained about the working environment or contradicted Barker was fired.”

Alex (A-Rod) Rodriquez and his wife Cynthia recently spoke to People about the joy they feel about Cynthia being pregnant. While the couple does not know the sex of their second child they are anxiously awaiting the news and will find out as soon as possible.

Alex is currently a third baseman for the New York Yankees. However, as a free agent there is speculation as to whether the Yankees will pay him enough to keep him in New York. Personally, as long as Detroit doesn’t offer him more money, I could care less where he goes.

When you’re a prince that has everything what do you do for fun? Sure, some might take up sports or womanizing. Others might take up drugs. For Prince Harry he has taken up vodka snorting. The Sun UK reports that Harry was seen snorting vodka as part of a drinking game.

In fact, he was captured on video inhaling around a cap-full of vodka through his nose while he was on vacation with his girlfriend, Chelsy. In the video footage, Harry’s friends all attempt to root for him as he ingests some of the alcohol and then spits it into the bottle cap.

Next thing you know, Harry is covering his right nostril and taking a huge sniff through the left. Once he took the hit he went into a sort of shock and began shuddering. His friends all stood around him and cheered.

Justin Timberlake was on Oprah recently and when he was he had a lot to say about new loves and old flames.
