Andy Roddick Found His Match

trix — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Andy Roddick is in Love and getting married. The tennis player is getting hitched this weekend to Brooklyn Decker, in a family affair in Austin,Texas.

Andy won Brooklyn's love after stalking her for months. He didn't really stalk her, but she is a swimsuit model and he got her number from his agent, who got her number from who knows and on and on.

Brooklyn said it was charming to be pursued with such determination and eventually fell in love with Andy and his charms. She told People magazine, "I was stalked. He'll tell you that, but "it was charming. He was charming. Eventually, I fell for it, and five months later I called him back and that was that."

Nice story, but now that you're getting married, be ready for the pregnancy rumors and questions. Unless of course she's already pregnant. ; )

Before & After: Kathy Ireland's Weight Gain & Loss (PHOTOS)

Sassy Smith — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:03:00 GMT

Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, CEO of a billion-dollar design empire, author and mom - Kathy Ireland - was so busy caring for others, she didn't realize she had gained 25 lbs., and when she saw a photo of herself, was shocked. Sounds like a lot of women, moms in particular - who have so many things on the go, they tend to overlook their own well-being.

Before & After pic after the jump!

Kathy's son had taken a photo of her baking cookies at their Santa Barbara home recently, and when she saw the picture, the image took her breath away.

"He said 'Mom, you look pregnant,' Kathy told PEOPLE. "I didn't recognize the person I saw. I saw someone who looked overwhelmed, overstressed, overweight, over-everything."

Ireland addresses, in her latest book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms, how mothers often put others' needs ahead of their own - just like she had, and had gained that twenty-five pounds without realizing it.

Kathy said, "I was not making enough time to take care of me." The 46-year-old, after enlisting the help of a friend who is a trainer and nutritionist, is almost back to where she was. But, she's realistic, and not trying to recapture her Sports Illustrated bikini days.

She added, "That's not my goal. I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids."

Kathy is married to Dr. Greg Olsen and they have three kids - son Erik, 15 next month, Lily, 10, and Chloe, 6.

Brett Favre to Retire... Again

Whit Honea — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:02:00 GMT

According to Sports Illustrated's Peter King it is once more into the breach for Brett Favre.

You may recall that we've been through this before. Brett has a wife and kids and a sore arm and many reasons to walk away from the game he loves, but has been dragging his feet a bit.

That said I don't want to keep writing this post on his retirement, so I'm just going to recycle the last one:

~~Sixteen~~ seventeen years. That's how long Brett Favre has been at the helm of the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets storied franchises. ~~Sixteen~~ seventeen years of drama, highs, lows, scares and bruises. He is the last of his kind and one of the greatest ever. He isn't just ~~Green Bay~~ New York, he is football.

I love football, but my appreciation of Brett Favre goes beyond the playing field. His character, strength and humor have been nothing short of inspirational. He is a winner that understood it was only a game. I can't help but think that football got more from Favre than he could have ever taken from it.

There is one less gunslinger in town and it the ~~Packer's~~ Jets' loss and it is our loss. It is his family's gain. Brett Favre has retired.

Good luck, Brett, and thank you.

Ex- NFL Player Shane Dronett Dead

Whit Honea — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:15:00 GMT

Shane Dronett, who played for the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons - including the Super Bowl team of 1998, was found dead in his home. He was 38-years-old.

Dronett is survived by his wife Chris and their two daughters.

Dan Reeves, Dronett's coach with both teams, said, "My prayers go out for Chris and her two daughters. You hate to lose anybody at any time but when your kids are high school age or younger it makes it tough, and it's tough for Chris."

The death was first reported as a suicide, but the official cause is still being investigated.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank stated: "The entire Atlanta Falcons family is saddened by the news of Shane Dronett's passing. Our deepest condolences are with his family during this difficult time."

Very sad news. Our thoughts go out to the family, friends and fans of Shane Dronett.

Carol Alt Naked in Playboy

Karl Erikson — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Carol Alt turns 48 years old next week, but that's not stopping her from appearing nude in the December issue of Playboy magazine. And holy schnikies, Batman, she looks fantabulous!

Says Carol of her naked photos: "There’s a saying I always remember when I started working: At 20, you have the face you’re born with, at 30 you have the face you work for and at 50 you have the face you deserve."

"The reason I showed my body is because my body would not have been like this if it hadn’t been for the fact that I had gone raw"

"I want people to know that after 40, it’s not the end of your life. Life goes on. You can feel good, look good, be beautiful and sexy and that’s all an attitude which comes from health."

You had me at hello, Carol Alt. Please don't ruin it by saying stuff.

Carol Alt, who has said she wants children, actually got divorced 7 years ago from her ex-husband, Ron Greschner, since she can't conceive. Because she had cervical and uterine cancer, Carol can't have children. Greschner now has 5 kids with his current wife. What a jerk.

Man, haven't you ever heard of adoption? Just ask Angelina.

Tiger Woods & Elin Nordegren Expecting 2nd Child

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:27:00 GMT

Fore! Tiger Woods and his wife Elin are expecting their second child. Daughter Sam, 1, was born on Father's Day right after the U.S. Open in 2007.

On his website, Woods announced that his wife is expecting their child in late winter. Two weeks after his U.S. Open victory this past June, Woods had reconstructive surgery on his left knee that put him out for the year.

"Elin is feeling great and we are both thrilled,'' Woods said. "While my injury has been disappointing and frustrating, it has allowed me to spend a lot of time watching Sam grow. I can't begin to tell you how rewarding it is being a dad and spending time with her and Elin. The injury has been a blessing and a disappointment.''

After he and Elin married in 2004, Woods said that he definitely wanted more than one child. He was an only child, and Elin has a twin sister.

Congratulations to Tiger and Elin!

Elle Mac.Fierce.Son(s)

Whit Honea — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:25:00 GMT

I know. Best. Title. Ever. See, Elle Macpherson was spotted at the Apple Store with her sons. The thing wrote itself, really.

Elle and her two boys Arpad Flynn Alexander Busson and Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson did a bit of window shopping at the store in London. What? They sell Windows for Mac, I've seen it. Of course it's like putting a lawnmower engine in a Porshe, but it can be done.

Naked & Pregnant - Supermodel Eva Herzigova

Sassy Smith — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 18:39:00 GMT

Supermodel Eva Herzigova - who's appeared in Victoria's Secret & Sports Illustrated - apparently jumped on the "I'm pregnant and I must have naked photos of myself" bandwagon. Who am I to judge?

NSFW photos after the jump

Oh and these photos are also about a year old, I think - Eva, 35, gave birth to her son on June 1, 2007, so either these just surfaced or she's pregnant again, but I can't find anything that says she is. Anyway, she and her boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj have a bouncing baby boy who's 10 months old and his name is George Marsiaj Herzig. If she is pregnant again, congrats (don't think so though). Oh and she did a recent interview for Tatler magazine and said she's never posing nude again - sorry guys. I've also included some not pregnant semi-clothed photos.

To see the rest of her full-on nudie pics, click here.

Sarah Murdoch and Son Kalan at the Beach

Whit Honea — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 17:36:00 GMT

Australian model (Wonderbra, SI) Sarah Murdoch and her son Kalan recently shared some fun in the sun at the beach.

I don't really know much about Murdoch, other than I appreciate the cuteness that is mother and child enjoying the company of the other, and the fact that she's in a bikini.

Every time I let something like lack of a point keep me from posting a picture of a hot mom in swimwear I die a little inside. I want to live, dammit!

Jeff Gordon and his daughter Ella enjoyed some quality time at the ol' racetrack. Ella took some time behind the wheel and a ride on Daddy's shoulders.

And then there is the subject of his wife Ingrid, who, it turns out, is really hot. Sports Illustrated knew it, and now we do, too. Thanks, SI!

I hope I look this good when I'm 38.

Kidds Having Kids

Whit Honea — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 17:30:00 GMT

It must be nice for Jason Kidd (left) to know that he can pursue a career in French politics once his run on the court is over. Like France's president, Nicolas Sarkozy, Kidd is freshly divorced (right), dating a "model" (Hope Dworaczyk-not pictured) and getting her pregnant. Sounds like an election year.

Brett Favre is Sportsman of the Year

Whit Honea — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 02:02:00 GMT

Brett Favre is the last of the gunslingers, at least the best generation of them. At 38 he has played sixteen seasons in Green Bay and this current year is one of his finest. Just a season ago he was being written off as a has-been. Now he is a must have.

I'm not a Packers fan per se, but I appreciate talent, character and competition. I have a respect for Brett Favre that I don't extend to many celebrities, be they of song, screen or field.

Sports Illustrated has named Favre the 2007 Sporstman of the Year, and they are right.

Congratulations to Brett Favre, his family and the Green Bay Packers. It is an honor deserved.

Matsuzaka Puts Pressure on Unborn Child

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 21:27:00 GMT

After a disappointing rookie season for Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka he has stepped up and said that he will be a better sophomore. He believes that having a second child, due this spring, will provide him some fuel to take it up a notch. I'm not sure what he thinks is going to happen when he and his wife have two kids in diapers under the same roof. Maybe the desire to be out of the house more? Is it an excuse to increase the workouts?

According to Yahoo:

"It will be the best source to give me power. I will aim for a second straight World Series title," Matsuzaka told a sponsor's event in Tokyo.

"Personally I will have to achieve more and I am convinced I can do better than what I did this season," he said.

And if that doesn't work, Daisuke, just have a third kid!
