WAG Danielle Lloyd, host / former Arsenal hitman Ian Wright and Bianca Gascoigne competed in the Celebrity version of Gladiators on SkyOne.
Lloyd donated all of her appearance money to buy a breast scanner for the Linda McCartney Breast Cancer Center.
Can’t go wrong with the Wallclimb and Hanging Tough.

England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and his WAG Coleen McGloughlin are now Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Rooney after marrying in Italy this week.
Nothing like taking advantage of the disappointment of missing out on the 2008 Euros by getting married during a week long celebration.

File this under the “This is why you have to pay your taxes” category. Wesley Snipes has been convected of three misdemeanor cases of not filing his taxes, and was subsequently sentenced to 36 months in the slammer. With tax day just passing a little over a week ago, this serves as a cold reminder about why we have to file our taxes. So with this sentece handed down, here’s a video portraying Wesley in one of my favorite roles he has played, Big bad Nino Brown from New Jack City.
I gotta say I never saw this one coming. Lil Jon, best known for his crunktastik hit songs, the signature yell and his own energy drink, “Crunk”, has entered the wine game. Lil Jon has set up Little Jonathan Winery and as you can see above, there will be a Chardonnay, Merlot and a Cabernet. For those of you that would like to toast the good life from a pimp chalice, this might be your best bet. Cheers.

So I’m at the grocery store tonight, Trader Joe’s to be exact ( if you don’t have one of these you are missing out) when I see Erik Estrada out of the corner of my eye. That’s right Ponchorello is there buying some groceries and talking on his cell phone. I used to be a big CHiPs fan so on some dorky level I thought this was kind of cool. Although I gotta say the dude has fallen off since his heyday.
About three minutes later I’m in line checking out, and there is Marcus Allen. I don’t know if it is the rain that was bringing out these dudes tonight, but it was like some weird 1980’s flashback or something. If only Alfonso Ribeira had been there the cycle would have been complete. On another note, word around the campfire is Marcus Allen is looking to get himself involved in soccer in a pretty big way. We can’t say too much more than that at this moment, but stay tuned on this one.
If you are anything like us, then you are counting down the days until Semi-Pro comes out. To keep you at bay until the film is released, check out these Old Spice commercials, eight of them in all, featuring none other than Jackie Moon, AKA Will Ferrell. Class.
