Hayden Panettiere, the cute blond from Heroes, may or may not be dating heavyweight boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko. As impossible as this sounds, Panettiere and Klitschko were photographed poolside in Miami this week. She’s 5-foot-1 and probably 100 pounds; he’s 6-foot-6 and in the neighborhood of 240 pounds. Three more photos of the couple after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

And assuming rain isn’t a factor, there’s also that hockey game at Fenway.

Happy New Year! We did this on Jan. 1 2008, and again last year. It was inspired by the paper that does this best, the Washington Post. We’d like to thank you for your support in what was a banner 2009, and we can only hope for more of the same in 2010. There will be no rhyme or reason to our posting this weekend; expect the frequency to pick up as our hangover wears off. Monday begins anew with the roundup, NFL playoff chatter, and the anticipation of the college football National Championship. Read the rest of this entry »
