Remember those unflattering photos of the cellulite on Jennifer Love Hewitt’s rear? Well, she looks fine in clothes … just a heads up: there will be a small, brief political post on the New Hampshire this morning, so brace yourself or skip it … and here’s a candidate calculator, in case you feel like doing another … we have completed watching three seasons of the Office in under two weeks, and soon, we will move onto the Wire … smarty pants financial folks – so how much higher can gold go? … jarring photo, great headline … neat – from strippers to Christian activists … who needs a celebrity backer when you have a wookie in your corner …

Holy crap that Savannah St. score is hilarious. 4 points in the second half? Wow. I wonder if they could still beat the Heat though.

Jennifer Love Hewitt will always have one thing that most actresses don’t…
Okay, maybe two things.

Love looks amazing in nearly every photo. I think John Mayer wrote “Your Body is a Wonderland” in honor of her curves. A few enterprising photographers got the worst possible shots of her. All I know is , every straight guy reading this site would hit that. Come to think of it, a few straight girls might not mind some spooning either…

My favorite former Georgetown player is Bubakar Aw.

CoRM – Thank you for the pro-American Gladiators post. Not sure why people had expectations that didn’t include the show being cheesie, poorly scripted, awkward at times and generally ridiculous. That’s what it was like before!
Just because we all remember it fondly doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a sh*tshow previously. We loved it because it was ridiculous (and because we were kids…at least I was). It’s much the same now, and I love that.
Still, I plan to DVR it and watch it on Sunday afternoons. My memories of it always involve it airing on weekends around noon and it just doesn’t fit in primetime. It’s hangover programming for me!
January 9th, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Mike B, you liked the post and DVR’d American Gladiators, brother.

Did anyone see this winning streak come to an end?

Ronny is going to have to be your tour guide for all things Gladiators …. i confess to having never watched it. Then or now.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:43 AM
CoRM, I’m just going to do my best, make NYC proud and show those Gladiators who’s in charge! YEAAAAHHH!
/panders to crowd

My brother went to Savannah St. I’m sure he could’ve got 3 buckets himself in the second half, and he’s in his 40’s.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:50 AM
Re: American Gladiators, Hogan and Ali are no worse than your average sideline/courtside reporter. I mean, it’s a useless job asking someone, “Are you going to try to take the lead in this event?”
At least we get to laugh while Hogan says “brother” a lot and Layla struggles to decide whether she should look at the contestant or the camera.
January 9th, 2008 at 8:54 AM
I may have to watch Suburban Commando in the near future in the Hulkster’s honor. Brother.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:01 AM
Neo – I saw that story on ESPN.com – it took me 3 paragraphs to figure out what sport it was in.
To everyone: A career defining scene for Hulk.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:03 AM
I always confuse that with Arnold’s Commando with Alyssa Milano. He drives that Chevy Suburban down the side of that wooded mountain. Classic Arnold.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Hogan’s best show ever was Thunder in Paradise, brother.

My wife is about to take half my dough, my son is a douche who nearly killed some kid, my daughter is a talentless bimbo, and now I’m on TV interviewing roided up homosexual “gladiators”. Life sucks right now. Brother.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Dirty, I think the phrase is, “my daughter is hot, for a post-op.”
CoRM, it’s good to see my influence is spreading beyond the borders of TBL, and it was only 25 times, maybe 30, tops.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:19 AM
he still has his sweet entrance music tho, she can never take that.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:21 AM
That dress really covers up here HUGE ass. However, from that “belt” up she looks amazing. Her rack is monsterous in that picture.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:27 AM
Brooke Hogan has no talent, and may be a bimbo, but if she was interested in a night of passion in your backseat, I think many would oblige.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
@TBL
She scares me away with that jaw. It looks like that of a snapping turtle. I bet she could cut through tree limbs with that thing.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:31 AM
@Magglio: So I guess you would have to remind her to “lick, don’t bite” during foreplay.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:33 AM
Big rack, big ass, cute. I see no problems with that.
Don’t get me wrong TBL, just because she’s a talentless bimbo doesn’t mean I wouldn’t crush it. Talent/brains and backseat lovin’ are definitely not mutually exclusive.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Mike B – you’re forgetting that most contestants, espescially the women, have pledged to give at least 110% before every event. One was convinced she would give 200%.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:41 AM
It is my understanding that women hate Love Hewitt and are jealous of her.
Who gives a crap what they think, she is babe a licious
January 9th, 2008 at 9:42 AM
I’ve had girlfriends in the past that said if they ever saw her, they would kill her and I’ve had girlfriends that said if we were going to go for a threesome, it would only be if it was with her.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Ben60657 – You have dated some crazy bitches
January 9th, 2008 at 9:48 AM
@Dirty: Very well put. The only intelligence I require a babe to have for some backseat lovin is direction to her house so I can drop her ass off when it’s over with.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Ben60657 – you need to get the 3some girl back.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:50 AM
All you Hulkamaniacs out there, do yourself a favor and find yourself a copy of the classic smash hit, “I want to be a Hulkamaniac.” Not only does the Hulkster rap with effortless dexterity, but he delivers many a wise message to the youngsters out there, brother.
Also, just for the record, I am also a big Bubakar Aw fan. Best name ever.
January 9th, 2008 at 9:52 AM
Well, since she was in Chicago and I’m now in Denver, it’d be tough.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Best Hulk flick ever was Thunder in Paradise. Hands down.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
I have nothing against love-hewitt. I find it refreshing when you guys like women with curves versus some of the anorexic models you fawn over..
January 9th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
I think anorexic models are disgusting, give me a woman with curves any day of the week.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
One of the greatest disappointments of the past 10-15 years is that JLH didn’t do the Playboy thing while she still had her fastball. Damn, I would have liked to have seen those puppies.
January 9th, 2008 at 10:24 AM
I’m not into the anorexic look at all. If I take you to bed and look like I may break your arm, leg, rib, etc., that’s not hot. However, the opposite look is horribly unappealing as well. When a chick wears a tube top or tight 3/4 shirt and there is a gut hanging out…no thanks.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:10 AM
that boxing article is really fucked up.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Bubakar Aw is great, but I’m partial to Mamadou Ndiaye.
January 9th, 2008 at 11:59 AM
JLH looks awesome!! that is a wonderland

John Mayer’s mastery of poon is inversely related to his musical talents.
January 9th, 2008 at 12:09 PM
BTW…my candidate calculator produced Mike Huckabee as my match. I will now light myself on fire.
