Do you think Anna looks - you know - because of the weight loss, or something else? … a swarm of bees - on the highway! … clearly, we should be watching Battlestar Galactia … you know who’s gully? DMX. Giving a fake name to a doctor is straight gangster … Spitzer’s hooker continues to look fantastic in a bikini … the deeply flawed US housing finance system … one of the best media reporters in newspapers has written a book about his earlier life - as a junkie … no, this isn’t about USF, but look for a name you’re familiar with … as long as the traffic for Gawker’s blogs is up, there’s hope for the rest of us … Scarlett is supposed to be at the DNC next month … after the jump, Romo’s girl brings the daisy dukes …

Ooooh - very much enjoying both pictures today.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:27 am
looking forward to being able to sit down and read the entire story about the NYT writer David Carr. read the first page and it definitely has peaked my personal interest. thanks for linking that TBL.

BEES - You’re weapons are useless against them!

Anna K looks phenomenal. Jessica S. does nothing for me. She fills out those Daisy Dukes like my grandmother would.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:43 am
congrats to paddy harrington, that eagle on 17 was big-balls.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:44 am
BSG is a pretty good show with some good talent on it.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:45 am
saw the shout from Norman this morn in my local rag - very nice.
nice stems on Romo’s piece. is that bronzer/baby oil/lotion goodness?
July 21st, 2008 at 8:47 am
How old is that J-Simp pic? She is nice looking.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:47 am
Nate Robinson’s summer league jersey has been retired
i saw that and was shocked. Pretty sad to get your jersey retired for summer league.
The Keyon Dooling-to-the-Nets sign-and-trade isn’t quite a done deal
great backup for Devin Harris
July 21st, 2008 at 8:49 am
great picture of anna.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:49 am
whatever it is, it works. she performed somewhere over the weekend, i think.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:49 am
Jessica >>> Anna K
July 21st, 2008 at 8:51 am
nice stems on jessica.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:54 am
did anyone see Erin Andrews cleavage at the ESPY’s last night? wowzaa.
July 21st, 2008 at 8:54 am
i agree.
Benji - You really watched the ESPY’s? Seriously?
July 21st, 2008 at 8:57 am
TBL..Benji is the type of guy who would do a group “Soulja Boy” dance at a wedding so why does it shock you he would watch the ESPY’s..I figured you would be curled up on the couch next to SportsGal with a bowl of popcorn and being snarky as well
July 21st, 2008 at 8:59 am
As I read that it looks mean…there is much love TBL..but I figured you would be into the ESPY’s…was there a Gossip Girl Marathon on against it?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:00 am
TBL - i was watching the Angels/Red Sox game and immediately after that, they flipped over to the “Pre-Show” which was hosted by EA. I watched her interview Strahan for about 2 minutes but the cleavage was popping.

Talked the g/f into seeing Dark Knight on Sat. Friggin’ awesome movie. Ledger’s Joker is unreal.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:04 am
a couple of my friends went to see Dark Knight on Friday and sat near none other than Bud Selig. they said he smelled as old as he looked.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:05 am
Let’s try to curtail all dark knight talk until the post (after lunch)
RWH - Actually, there was a Dawson’s Creek marathon on cable, so i watched that.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:08 am
Dark Knight was bad ass. Wonder if they will do another one. I would think they would make at least one more with the Penguin. if i had only one gripe, Gotham looked a little to “normal.”
July 21st, 2008 at 9:10 am
shhhhh, quiet sparty
July 21st, 2008 at 9:11 am
I’ve read quite a few posts about Erin Andrews at the ESPYs last night. Can all our sources combine to find some pics?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:11 am
tbl - i realize you don’t have hbo, but you should “acquire” generation kill. only two episodes shown to judge by, but they have been top shelf. its the product of Simon/Burns aka The Wire.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:12 am
The Dark Knight was so fucking awesome that I haven’t seen it yet…I know I am one of four people..leave it in the afternoon post so I can avoid the talk.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:12 am
I haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet but I plan to this week. Isn’t harvey Dent a characted in this movie? If so, that’s a perfect lead-in for the next movie because doesn’t he become Two-Face?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:13 am
Lets hope this isn’t a bad sign, Wagner has shoulder issues. You aren’t planning on posting naked cheerleaders again are you?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:15 am
I’ll be needing a Man Card from you now TBL
July 21st, 2008 at 9:15 am
You phrase that question as if it’s a bad thing.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:16 am
Generation Kill has been very good so far.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:18 am
Um…
July 21st, 2008 at 9:19 am
am I missing something, hotdog?
July 21st, 2008 at 9:20 am
shut up roeth.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:21 am
nevermind, don’t tell me anything that’s in the movie. I haven’t seen it yet.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:22 am
@ miz: haven’t seen DK yet, but i’m pretty sure Aarron Eckhart (sp?) is Harvey Dent, and he’s turning into Two-Face in the trailer they’ve been showing on TV where half of his face is laying in acid…
July 21st, 2008 at 9:22 am
July 21st, 2008 at 9:23 am
Stupid quote tags - one of these days I’ll get it right
July 21st, 2008 at 9:25 am
@August - I haven’t even seen a trailer yet and I just heard that Dent was a character so I figured that was the logical next step, kinda like the joker card at the end of Begins.
@Roeth - thanks for not saying anything else. I probably won’t be reading the movie post later today.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:27 am
Listen…anyone who knows the comic book knows the basic story line, so that is not shocking but I really don’t want to know how the movie plays out…so I am putting my fingers in my ears and closing my eyes…na nanananananananananan..I can’t hear you…
July 21st, 2008 at 9:29 am
For those who saw it this weekend, how long did you have to stand in line to get in? We bought our tickets 3 hours before the show, left, and came back to stand in a line for an hour..rediculously packed but definitely worth it
July 21st, 2008 at 9:30 am
Bears beats Battlestar Galactica.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:30 am
before katie holmes turned whacko. sigh.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:32 am
@DR.C-not long. i bought my tickets online. picked them up at the electronic ticket booth at 7pm, got on the line for the screen it was playing on, waited about 10 mins and went in for an 8pm show.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:38 am
@ Roman & Miz:
***SPOILER ALERT***
For the 3rd movie Two Face is being reworked to reflect today’s new in-vogue duality and will be a mid-op transsexual named Double Junk… early casting rumors center around Kathy Griffin and Sara Jessica Parker.
/sincere
July 21st, 2008 at 9:39 am
Dr. C - Bought tix on Fandango, showed up 15 minutes before it started and walked right in. Surprisingly, out theater was only about 60% full for a 10 pm show Sat. night.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:41 am
Very solid movie…I bought tickets online…picked them up about 845 for a 935 showing…stood in line until they let us in about 920 and got fairly good seats
July 21st, 2008 at 9:46 am
My wife thought it was really good, which was a bonus. Got to the theatre at 1:00 for the 1:30 showing bought tickets and went straight in. Pretty good movie just a little long.
July 21st, 2008 at 10:33 am
Ashley Dupre looks great! Apparently she has “the most beautiful vagina on the planet.€
July 21st, 2008 at 10:52 am
Anna never, ever looks like a tranny… so Anna > Jessica
July 21st, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Nate Robinson’s summer league jersey has been retired.
Fucking stupid.
