Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself

Whit Honea — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 22:24:00 GMT

Plaxico Burress of the New York Giants was shot at a nightclub last night.

He's okay, but he might be a tad bit embarrassed. Here's why- he shot himself. Yes, he shot himself. According to the New York Post, Burress shot himself in the leg "while fumbling with a gun just after midnight near the VIP entrance to the Latin Quarters club on Lexington Avenue.

"The round went through his right thigh, and left an injury that was not life threatening. It was unknown how it would affect his career. Burress, 31, was released from the hospital at 2 p.m. today."

Burress has had a sometimes stellar and often troubled career thus far playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers before signing with the Giants in 2005.

Plaxico Burress has one son, Elijah, who will turn two in January. Elijah is named for Burress' NY Giant teammate Eli Manning.

While I'm very glad that Burress is okay I can't help but wonder, what the hell was he thinking? Why in the world was he carrying a firearm?

Calgary Flames Captain Jarome Iginla Talks Fatherhood

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:34:00 GMT

The Calgary Flames' captain, Jarome Iginla (Iggy as his many Calgary fans call him) and his wife Kara are now parents to three children - their newest edition, Joe, was born last month. Iginla says that looking forward to new baby's arrival helped speed up the hockey off-seaon.

Jarome told The Star Phoenix, "Yeah, we were looking forward to that the whole time. So summer was just flying, passing by till we got there."

Joe was named after Jarome (those close to the 31-year-old call him Joe), and baby joins older siblings, Jade 3, and Tij,2.

Iginla added, "Obviously, we're very blessed and it's been great. But also for hockey, it's been really good. It's one of those things you always hear about. As a player, you hear that it can help you take your mind away from it. I'm one of those players who can definitely see those benefits... and was sometimes thinking about hockey too much, or sometimes trying to get too intense or take it too serious.

"This helps balance things out and take a break away from the rink, away from theh game, which mentally, a lot of times, is good."

The pre-season starts September 23 with Calgary playing Florida Panthers and the regular season starts October 9, with Flames playing Vancouver Canucks. Go Iggy!

PS - That photo was taken by me a few months ago at the Flames Skills Competition.

Vince Young is a Mama's Boy?

Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans is, apparently, a mama's boy- not that there is anything wrong with that.

Strollerderby is running a piece on Young that explains no matter how old you are, or how big of a celebrity you become, you're still somebody's baby. Accept it.

Vince is having some other issues though, and hopefully he works through them quick and safe.

Dave and Megan Tollefson Have Giant Baby!

Tucker Niles Tollefson only tipped the scales at 7lbs and 4oz., but since his dad is Dave Tollefson of the NY Giants, he gets team membership from birth. It's a pretty sweet deal.

Beckhams Love Tom Cruise While Oprah Watches

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 20:09:00 GMT

There have been rumors printed (mostly here) that the Beckhams and Cruises were no longer chums. That isn't the case. I know this because Oprah proved it. Oprah is like the Chuck Norris of the heart. She gives and shares and if you don't accept it with a smile she'll roundhouse your ass.

Here is the Beckham moment:

TomCruise.com is NOT a Porn Site

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:29:00 GMT

It finally happened. TomCruise.com is up and running along Gore's green information highway. It was only a matter of time. The surprise is that the site isn't for the popular Tom Cruise marijuana that all the kids are digging (the sick kids, it's medicinal). Nor is it hawking anti-depressants or selling Xenu readiness packages. That's right, folk(s), it's an official Tom Cruise site featuring nothing but everyone's favorite Maverick. Hell, it doesn't even mention his kids or any of his wives. It's all Tom, all the time.

Now that Tom Cruise knows how to work the internet it's only a matter of time before he's reading FameCrawler. Hi, Tom! I was only kidding about you and Beckham turning business time into business time. Look, we're friends, I'll start the link love. Visit TomCruise.com today. It's official!

Tom Cruise and David Beckham in Bed Together

Whit Honea — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:07:00 GMT

No, I'm not trying to imply that they're going to polish off this little bottle of wine and then do things that Travolta only dreams about. Wait, that is what I'm implying, but it's just a joke. I'm fairly confident that Becks doesn't swing that way.

Not that there is anything wrong that.

The real point is that the two will be climbing into bed in the business sense, not the literal. Yes, it's business time.

Cruise and Beckham are considering buying a soccer team together, you know, because they can. Word on the proverbial street is that David is looking to make the leap from player to owner. Tom just likes to leap.

It seems rather curious that Tom and David are still going strong despite all of this and that. And this. I guess they're good like that.

"Team Britney" Steals My Pet Name for FameCrawler

Whit Honea — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 23:34:00 GMT

Welcome to Team Britney, bitches. The only thing sadder than the mess Britney Spears has made of her life is a group of people denying that it is happening. Team Britney, aka the board of Taco Bell shareholders, is a collection of Britney fans (judging by the photo I'd say it's a collection of all the Britney fans) that feel the star is being unfairly treated.

They also feel that the Holocaust never happened and that the moon landing was filmed in Burbank.

Membership is open to anyone with a love of Britney and a firm grasp on denial. That ain't a river, y'all.

Please send all dues and donations to FameCralwer, attn: Free $$ Department.
