At its core, King Kong is a love story. We recently plunked down the $10.50 to watch what was actually a decent movie. It was a bit mushy though, with all the love. The gorilla's love for the cute Naomi Watts, her love for the beast and Jack Black's love of money (his was probably more greed than love, but you get the picture). Coincidentally, two beautiful female athletes are in love, which might upset some of their fans.
Olympic softball sensation and lad mag hottie Jennie Finch is pregnant.
Her rabid following -- she's probably got more shrines on the Internet than Britney Spears or Anna Kournikova -- must indeed count this as a sad day, as it means you'll see very little of Finch on the scene in 2006, and you surely won't see her looking like this in the near future.
If you're curious who the father is, the answer is occasional Major Leaguer/frequent AAAer Casey Daigle, who married Finch last fall. He probably has to deal with at least five comments a week about how his wife will always have a lower ERA than he will.
While Finch was (is it wrong to mention her in the past tense just because she is pregnant?) that incredibly-hot goddess who could flash a smile and make you think you had a chance, one female athlete who always seemed attainable was the loveable Jamie Sale. (We use attainable in an extremely loose sense. For instance, if seated next to her on a cross-country flight, more than a few of our friends think that they could kick enough game to at least get her number).
Perhaps we're partial to brunettes, but in a gun-to-head situation, it's Sale over Finch. Want to argue with us? Think again.
Ever since Brandon Walsh dated a figure skater back in his 90210 prime, we've always thought it'd be nice to spend time with some girl who flips and twirls through the air for a living. Let's face it, Walsh not only had a good eye for talent, but he was an extremely likeable character. Plus, he was good at basketball.
That's why it saddens us to report that Sale is officially off the market, as she recently got married to her figure skating partner. Talk about a lucky guy.
The best we can hope for is that one day we'll have a daughter and we'll send her to figure skating classes where Sale is the teacher.
T.O. vs. Shawn Chacon (and other Vegas stuff)
Who had the better New Year's Eve: New York Yankees pitcher Shawn Chacon or ex-Philadelphia Eagles receiver Terrell Owens? You be the judge.
Chacon partied at the Hard Rock hotel and he was surrounded by the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton and Scarlett Johansson. Not a bad crop of 20-something hotties. You'd think Chacon was Derek Jeter!
Meanwhile, Owens and 20 of his best friends hopped in a limo after the ball dropped and took a $200 ride from Caesar's to the Palms. Then, they didn't pay. Is that how the big dogs roll now?
