Carmelo WAS wearing clothes, David Cook wants YOU to always be his baby and a THIRD Roomie for LC?
It's the mid-week entertainment report CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP
This story is a few days old now, but Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets forward, former Syracuse MOP, and "rapper" was pulled for DUI recently. According to Colorado law, you aren't automatically arrested for DUI when pulled over. If someone is willing to come to where you are and pick you up, you are turned over to their custody without being arrested or charged. (WOW on that note.) But apparently his girlfriend LaLa was NOT willing to come and pick him up. Yeah, she wanted to sleep at 2 in the morning opposed to come and pick up her man, who is paying for the house FYI....... But the reason for this story was, originally I thought the story said he was naked at the time he was pulled. But that story has been shot down. So he WAS wearing clothes. That would have put this story over the top for me. Not just that his girlfriend WOULDN'T come and pick him up, but if he had been nekked! Alas, no.
I caught this week's Hills last night. Nothing much to report except that Heidi is an idiot about Spencer. He had a good point. SHE brought up "Relationship Vacation" which meant she wanted a break. She was going to clubs every night (if you believe the show) and Spencer was sitting at home. So SHE is allowed to go out on girls' nights and no doubt flirt with guys, but he isn't allowed to go and flirt with girls? Heidi, Hypocracy is holding on line one for you. But the real story is Audrina went out with Heidi and then lied about it to LC. Then in the previews for next week it looks like LC and the 40 year old Lo are thinking about moving into a house together and Audrina is shocked. I guess Heidi was right. DON'T CROSS LAUREN. She will just MOVE OUT on you. If LC is THAT torn up about Audrina dating Justin Bobby again and then talking to Heidi again, then WOW. LC is slowly crossing friends off her list. She is down to just the 40 year old Lo, and Whitney. (I also thought it was funny that LC was so excited to get a job offer from Whitney's place. She does realize she PROBABLY won't just be able to text and IM at that job like she does at Teen Vogue, right?)
Finally on Idol last night. I try not to weigh in too much on this since EVERYONE else on the web does, including seanowensullivan.blogspot.com, but I wanted to give my thoughts on last night. The guys were all great. The girls all sucked.
David Cook's version of Always be my baby was fantastic. I wouldn't have recognized it as Mariah Carey, had it not been her night. That was a great song.
Jason Castro sang yet another Fratastic song that will be making the Sorostitutes swoon next year on his nationwide campus tour.
David A just did ANOTHER Disney movie song. Just what he will do his entire career. He is the next Josh Groban, just glad the AJC guy FINALLY picked up on that. I've only been saying it since Hollywood week.
As for the ladies, I actually think Kristy Leigh Cook will be safe this week. She turned that Forever song, a song she couldn't have done straight up, but throw a country twang into it, and it worked out.
Carley and Syesha and Brook will be bottom-fishing this week.
Carley has been largely disappointing, but Brook does the same thing every week and it is getting boring.
And Syesha is just stubborn. The judges KEEP telling her to stop with the Whitney and Fantasia and Mariah because while she is a solid singer, taking on those songs will only have people compare you, and she can't stand up to those gals. She needs to STOP trying. She is only hurting herself.
I think Carley goes home

Hey JK, QUIT MAKING SUCH A FRIGGIN' PRODUCTION!
JK Rowling is suing an American for his Harry Potter Lexicon and in the process she is saying that she is losing the "will to write."
First off JK, how many times are you going to bust out this line of "I am losing the will to write" "I want to stop writing because I don't want anything to happen to the characters" "I just can't finish it"
But you ALWAYS keep writing, why? THE MONEY. Don't pretend like you "couldn't possibly finish it" because then you wouldn't get paid. I remember you once saying that you "wanted to break your arm" so you wouldn't write the next part. Ummm then you would have just had to wait until it healed.
I have an idea, you don't want a character to die, DON'T KILL HIM OFF IN THE BOOK. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR. YOU HAVE CONTROL.
(Continuing on this note, we knew you were never going to kill off Harry. Then your cash cow would be dead. Even though you said this was your last book, you didn't kill him off, just in case your money somehow ran out I am guessing. If you really wanted that to be it, kill the dude off. But you didn't. SHOCKER!)
But back to this law suit. You are angry that a guy in America is making money off your Harry Potter character by "plagiarizing" your work. Hmmmm interesting. Move along from the fact that he is simply putting your works into an encyclopedia-like form. Nothing wrong with that. What you are REALLY pissed about is he is doing it now and you wanted to do it in 2-3 years (according to the AP article) but you are afraid people will buy his and not want to buy yours. Ummm you wrote the books and made all of the money already. Someone else in a different country wants to do this where your copyright laws don't have grounds and you are angry.
Interesting.....
You know what JK, go ahead and lose the will to write already. I am sick of your drama that YOU like to create. I guess you were out of the spotlight for too long, so you jumped back in by creating this story.
And the worst part of the article...reading that you had three kids, but it was a ficticious character that brought you sanity. From the salon.com piece.. "In sometimes emotional testimony, Rowling recalled starting work on the first book in 1991 when she was 25 and so destitute that she sometimes had to choose between buying typewriter ribbon and food. She said the Harry Potter characters helped her escape from the hard work of raising a child on welfare.
"It was a place into which I liked to vanish, and it was a discipline that was very important in keeping me sane," she said.
That is kind of messed up. How about you love your kids the way you loved Harry. Buy them food when they are hungry, maybe? Or did they eat the paper when you messed up an episode of the Golden Child Harry?
All I am saying JK is just admit that you are a spotlight whore and this is all it is. You want MO Money, even though you have more than anyone could EVER want. You want for everyday at 8:13am for people to think about you for 12 minutes. You know you do. I am just sick of your constant need for attention.
Write a book or don't. but make a decision QUIETLY and get on with your life so I can get along with mine without yahoo putting your lastest fart on its homepage!

Reality Show pitch
The wedding is mere days away and my future in-laws have made it into Atlanta and will stay with us until we depart for Athens on Thursday. They were telling us last night about how the renters in one of their Tucson properties has moved out and they are trying to decide what to do with the property. Well with myself marrying the younger daughter and the older daughter getting married in 3 weeks, I think there is only ONE THING TO DO HERE!!!!!
(In deep announcer voice)
These two are newly weds (Picture of bride-to-be and me)
These two are newly weds (Picture of bride-to-be's sister and her beau)
These two are sisters (Picture of bride-to-be and her sister)
And these are their landlords.....and their parents! (picture of my in-laws)
Find out what happens when the newly weds move in together and have to deal with "Dad"
Thursdays on W.E.
Think Everybody Loves Raymond meets Survivor meets the Real World, with a little Hills thrown in there.
We would have to move to Tucson and find new jobs, plus we would be "competing" to be better than the other couple (covertly, of course) and then for the first year of marriage, we'd have to deal with the in-laws RIGHT THERE THE WHOLE TIME! Dogs would be involved, new stresses of marriage, both ours and theirs.
This show could NOT FAIL! You know you'd watch.

Our Masters' reporter, Paul Mac!
He was there and we had him give us his thoughts on the weekend.
A tradition unlike any other...Paul Mac blogging...
I was there, the course was very fair for a championship major golf course. Everyone roughly had the same opportunities and the field was very close together. The problem was they started too late in the day obviously for TV. The early players from Friday to Sunday had it easier because the greens were damp and slower and there was far less wind. You can't do anything about the wind.
There is no rough. It's certainly not 3 inch US open rough, you can almost get backspin from the second cut. As far as accuracy is concerned by the time you're a
pro... take off the diapers and hit it strait, it's far form being unfair the long hitters hit it long and strait and just goofed their second shots or pulled putts. Tiger over read almost every putt in the weekend he took to long and he pressed he made all kinds of amazing shots from the fairway and off and just nutted up when he took the putter out. Most of those he'll tell you were unforgivable. Brand Snedeker chipped and putted at times unbelievably from all kinds of distance.
Blame the players... not the course for the poor play. Last year it was frigid and not conducive to scoring which is not the fault of the course design, this year it was windy at times but that doesn't forgive having to chip to the 10th fairway or the 9th fairway on 18 because you couldn't hit it strait or you miss hit it. The course was not unfair. It's a major and it's difficult and it should be. The emphasis at that course has always been shot making, you aren't so much
penalized for hitting in the second cut or even the pine straw which is far nicer than most of the countries fairways. Immelman double bogeyed 16 because he put it in the water mainly because he had a brain fart and hit it left with the wind coming down the hill that way.
The major difficulties at Augusta National to the pro player besides elevation change; natural undulations and weather are the greens. People whine about pin placement but largely these guys have seen this course forever... They know where to play if they want to stay up and what's out of bounds, it's classic risk reward and it adds to the drama when players are playing well (tigers chip on 16)
By far all week the best shot maker and the player who put himself in consistent positions for success won the tournament. That's the way it's supposed to be in a major, they can blame the wind if they want, surely it was a factor... but you have to earn it in a Major
Tiger had his opportunities as did Snedeker and others... they just didn't make the putts they needed when they had the opportunities. There were plenty of roars all over the course this weekend they just didn't follow it up consistently... well except for Immelman who was brilliant. The shots he made on the 13 green were unreal. He also got a little luck from the weather, without the rain dampening the course and the wind dying that shot on 15 would easily have been in the water.
I said 66 or 67 for tiger on Saturday and he shot 68. Had he shot 69
on Sunday... (3 measley 4ft putts) we go to sudden death. By all rights,
his iron play put him in position both days to shoot 67 or 68 easily and his putter let him down.
Yeah he missed everything, he couldn't find the hole from 4 ft with a shotgun. It was really disapointing. I don't mind Immelman winning it, just give me a show dang it. We were of course on 15 when he nearly spun it off. The weather was damn near perfect Friday and much of Saturday after the rain, Sunday was really nice too just windy. The course was really fair and really beautiful, a lot of guys simply hit
poor shots or misread putts. Disapointing definitely but the best man won. Tiger, needs to go back to the drawing board putting, he was killing drives Sunday though 359 I think was the longest he could have been that far too as well.
I thought snedeker was going to do it when he sunk the really long Eagle on 2. Nice to hear the huge roars across the course again. That was fun. As always... I hated to leave.

Hey Kiper....SETTLE DOWN!
The draft isn’t until next week, but I thought I would weigh in now just in case Thomas Dimitroff is listening to suggestions now and will cut off all media next week. Draft Glen Dorsey DT of LSU and don’t think twice about it. You are probably hearing everyone from Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr, to some media “experts” from here in Atlanta yelling that YOU NEED A QUARTERBACK. Well they are right, as Chris Redman, DJ Shockley and Joey Harrington don’t exactly strike fear into the hearts of your division rivals, but that doesn’t mean you have to take one. Don’t JUST take the “top” QB because you need one at the moment. Don’t you think the Texans would love a redo back in 2001 when they selected David Carr over Julius Peppers? They could have taken Carson Palmer the next year. He was a worthy first pick QB, not Carr. And you could tell that as they were coming out of college.
If you step back from the draft order this year and simply rank the top players in an order of “who is the best regardless of position,” is Matt Ryan in the top 10? Shoot, is he in the top 15? No. So don’t take Ryan at No.3 just because. And don’t trade some of the picks you have acquired to move into the late first round to grab Flacco or Henne only because “you need one.” It isn’t worth it. Take one when the time is right and he would fit your system. If that means waiting until next year, so be it. Don’t hurt the rest of the team to take that QB. You have a chance to build this team the right way: from the inside out. Don’t sacrifice that because society and the “experts” say take a QB! That’s why those guys are breaking down the draft and not taking part IN the draft.
Therefore start with the lines, both offensive and defensive then work out from there. I would take Chris Long, but he most likely will be gone. CHRIS LONG? you say. But you just took Jamal Anderson in the last draft! No. Rich McKay took him in the last draft and that is why McKay doesn’t call the shots anymore, because he screwed up enough of these things to be replaced. Chris Long is a guy you can draft to makeup for that pick, plus, depth never hurt anybody, especially when John Abraham is on the other side. The guy made plays last year, registering 14 sacks, forcing two fumbles, intercepting a ball and racking up 79 tackles. But assuming CLong is gone, take Dorsey and his 12.5 tackles for loss, and four pass breakups. He led his team to the BCS Championship, despite facing double and triple teams all year and having Auburn trying to take out his knees. If those two are gone, then go for Jake Long. While considering him, remember Robert Gallery. I don’t think Long is “can’t miss” but I’d take him over Matt Ryan.
Bottom line, I’d take a guy to solidify my core and watch my team get better. Matt Ryan might come in and move some jerseys. (He will need a bunch, since he’ll have grass stains all over his every week from getting sacked.) Glen Dorsey though will sell out the Dome by winning as he is the first step to rebuilding this defense. (And the team can take its franchise QB next season in when the QB class looks a lot deeper)
The old regime would have taken Matt Ryan with the No.3. I don’t believe this new regime will do that. Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it. Dimitroff is smarter than putting all of his eggs in the basket of a guy that isn’t a sure thing, since the last all-eggs-in guy is now playing out The Longest Yard. Dorsey IS a sure thing. Go with that!
If you step back from the draft order this year and simply rank the top players in an order of “who is the best regardless of position,” is Matt Ryan in the top 10? Shoot, is he in the top 15?

adding insult to injury....
The Braves lost today 5-4 after taking the first two games of the series with the Nationals, but the bigger issue may be Tommy Glavine's leg injury. He was forced to leave the game in the first with an apparent leg injury and you just have to wonder how long he might be out. Glavine was brought in to Atlanta to be the team's third starter and hopefully to turn Chuck James into Glavine Jr. But Chuckie is down in Richmond right now and Glavine may be on the shelf for a week or two, depending on this injury.
Bennett came in and held the fort as best he could for the second time in two weeks (the Hampton start as well) but the team couldn't contain the opposition and overcome the loss of a big-name pitcher.
You just have to hope that Glavine can come back soon, otherwise it will be Smoltz and Hudson and pray for rain, like it was last year. Having those two can get you wins in the postseason, but first you must MAKE it to the post-season.
That said, the Braves were down 5-3 in the 8th and Frenchy ran hard with two outs and scored on the error by Wily Mo Pena (I REALLY like that name. Wily Mo Proctor for my first born, regardless of gender!) Then in the ninth after Bryan Pena K'ed and KJ popped out, Yunel worked a walk (really maturing. I like it) and Chipper doubled, but Yunel wasn't running on the play and couldn't tie the game up. A walk to Big Tex (thank goodness his rep is preceding him because he STILL isn't hot yet) chased the Nats' closer and in comes a guy BMac is 0-8 lifetime against. Make it 0-9 as he swings first pitch to hit a lazy fly to end the game. Oh well. I like that the Braves are not giving up this year, but they need to not get in so many holes and they need to COME THROUGH more often. BMac. Make the pitcher at least throw twice before you swing. Make him find a rhythm. But YOU are the professional and I'm just the hack beat writer.
Overall, let's just get Tommy healthy and be glad we took the series. Now finish strong on this roadtrip and get hope in a hurry!

That's what I am talking ABOUT!
To quote Frank Costanza....
The Braves bats FINALLY woke up, much like I asked them to do this morning. Frenchy hit two shots and totaled 7RBI (nice work, but did you look at the GM and yell PAY ME?) Chipper played (thank goodness) and scored a run in the first. Good Work there Chip. And Big Tex even got into the early action, singling in a run.
I can't say enough about Matty Diaz and his hustle. Pete Rose was Charlie Hustle, Diaz should be called Matty Hustle. Even on routine grounders, he runs hard because you never know. He is that one kid in little league that wasn't as talented as others, but he made the all-star team as a coach's pick because he hustled his butt off. Great example Matty.
McCann continues to impress from the plate as he hit a homer and went 3-4 if I recall correctly (sorry between Augusta and the technical difficulties Sports South had it was hard to keep up)
But what a job by Smoltzie. 6 innings after laboring for 50 pitches after just three innings. The guy's arm is close to falling off, but he just goes out there and toughs out a win. (Attention Mike Hampton. Read the last sentence) Smoltz also got an RBI thanks to Diaz's hustle.
And finally, I know Oh-MAN finally gave up his first run of the year, but he looks like he could really be something out of the pen. And Acosta got the final few outs. The pen has pieces. Once Gonzo gets back and Soriano can drop to the 8th inning, this thing has a chance.
Good work on the bats today Bravos. Now let's win one for Glavine tomorrow to make up for last Monday. 5-6, let's get it to .500! Take down the Marlins!

McCann continues to impress from the plate as he hit a homer and went 3-4 if I recall correctly (sorry between Augusta and the technical difficulties Sports South had it was hard to keep up)
But what a job by Smoltzie. 6 innings after laboring for 50 pitches after just three innings. The guy's arm is close to falling off, but he just goes out there and toughs out a win. (Attention Mike Hampton. Read the last sentence) Smoltz also got an RBI thanks to Diaz's hustle.
And finally, I know Oh-MAN finally gave up his first run of the year, but he looks like he could really be something out of the pen. And Acosta got the final few outs. The pen has pieces. Once Gonzo gets back and Soriano can drop to the 8th inning, this thing has a chance.
Good work on the bats today Bravos. Now let's win one for Glavine tomorrow to make up for last Monday. 5-6, let's get it to .500! Take down the Marlins!
