Looks like Khloe and Lamar’s rush to the altar last month was anything but smooth-sailing. Khloe Kardashian’s wedding to Lakers star Lamar Odom will be televised on her family’s E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, this Sunday, Nov. 8 @ 9/8c on E!
Here’s a sneak peek of some of the explosive moments leading up to the big day.
The Gators’ Brandon Spikes has some explaining to do. Did the tough linebacker try to gouge opponent’s eyes? A video clip has surfaced showing University of Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes digging inside the facemask of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey in a pile after a tackle during Saturday’s game in Jacksonville.
When sked about Spikes’ play on Sunday, Florida coach Urban Meyer responded: “I’ll talk to him today. [He is] a very emotional player, and if that’s the case, I’ll have a very serious talk with him.”
In his new autobiography, former tennis star Andre Agassi admits the lion mane-hairstyle he sported during the 1990s was actually a wig used to shield his baldness. Agassi said he wore a hairpiece held together with pins in his first Grand Slam final, the 1990 French Open final, and blames his concerns that it would fall apart for losing the match to Andres Gomez.
Before the match he prayed “not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off”, he writes in Open.
“Every morning I would get up and find another piece of my identity on the pillow, in the wash basin, down the plughole,” he writes. “I asked myself: you want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court? I answered myself; what else could I do?”Read the rest of this entry »
The cast of FOX’s musical smash Glee performed our National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” before Game 3 of the World Series — New York Yankees vs. Philadelphia Phillies — at Citizen’s Bank Park in The City of Brotherly Love on Halloween night.
Series star Amber Riley (”Mercedes”) belted out the lead, while the rest of the kids contributed background vocals. Great job, guys!
After a 24-hour delay, Brooklyn native Jay-Z and Harlem’s own Alicia Keys got to perform their hit hometown anthem, “Empire State of Mind,” before Game 2 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies the Bronx on Thursday night.
The gay community aren’t the only ones baffled by Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson and his rash of homophobic tirades earlier this week; Larry has also hurt his father. Larry Johnson Sr. remembers his childhood in the Jim Crow American South and understands inequality and discrimination all too well.
“I went through that,” he said. “My generation.”
As a young man, he vowed that he would teach his children to treat everyone with respect. He says he raised them to consider everyone equal, regardless of race, gender, beliefs, or sexual orientation. That’s why the 56-year-old is so ashamed that his son used gay slurs in public two times in just 24 hours. Larry — who was indefinitely suspended by the NFL on Tuesday — hurled the “f-word” at reporters in the Chiefs’ locker room on Monday. He also posted disparaging anti-gay remarks about coach Todd Haley on Twitter.
Andre Agassi’s upcoming autobiography, Open, available Nov. 9, contains the revelation that the eight-time Grand Slam champion used crystal meth in 1997 and lied to tennis authorities when he failed a drug test.
From the confines of a page-turning autobiography premiering next month, tennis legend Andre Agassi will reveal that he used crystal meth during his playing career, according to a publicist for Knopf Publishing House, a division of Random House.
Larry Johnson, sit’cho ass down! Homophobia is so ’80s — too bad someone forgot to give Larry Johnson that memo. The Kansas City Chiefs running back is in trouble with a capital T with GLAAD over his use of the “homophobic f-bomb twice in the last 24 hours.” Johnson has been suspended by the Kansas City Chiefs while they investigate his distasteful Twitter outburst against head coach Todd Haley and gay slurs he hurled at the media.
In case you missed, Larry’s little tirade, Queerty has plenty of petulant quotes for your viewing. On Monday, Jarrett Barrios, the president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, calling for the NFL to take action against Johnson. Read the rest of this entry »
