We see the usual suspects — Christina Aguilera, et al — all the time. But there are famous hot moms all over the world if you know where to look. Read more »
Rooneys want to keep Steelers in the family
Here’s a problem we’d all like to have: the Rooney family is trying to keep The Pittsburgh Steelers a family-owned NFL franchise for as long as possible. To do that, Dan Rooney and Art Rooney II are attempting to buy out their siblings. For about $35 million each. The idea is to keep local billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller from owning the team.
Part of the issue is that the NFL, with typical hypocrisy, wants to eliminate any connections to gambling interests. The Rooneys own racetracks, which Roger Goody-Goody-Goodell has a problem with.
The daddy-part of the story (other than that I wish the Rooneys would adopt me) is this:
Their father, Art Rooney Sr., was heavily involved in gambling and, according to legend, bought the Steelers in 1933 with $2,500 in racetrack winnings. But the NFL now frowns on any ownership association with gambling.
That last sentence is pretty funny, since NFL events such as, oh, I don’t know, the Super Bowl, generate insane amounts of money via gambling. As long as the NFL isn’t directly involved, I guess it’s OK, right?
My dad left me $1,000 which I never saw because my mother needed it for something. So, you know, I can’t relate to this at all. Talk about the DNA lottery. Not bitter, good for them, but sheesh. Come to New York and buy me a drink or something.

Father and son taser team get jail time
A father and son who Tasered each other with a stun gun the son swiped from a parked police car both pleaded guilty. The son got two years in prison; the dad will be sentenced in August.
I don’t want to judge, but this seems like a bad example to set. If my son ever shows up with a stun gun and says, “Hey dad! I just stole this stun gun off a cop! Want to shock each other, film it, and put the video up on YouTube?” I really don’t think my answer will be, “Would I???”
Reading is fundamental
Here’s what my allergy-filled eyeballs are looking at today:
* Thanks to Think Mama Think for linking to my Strollerderby post about Orgasmic Birth, specifically the video featuring men and women getting realllly excited during delivery.
* Wired tells us why we laugh (me, it’s because I’m watching old George Carlin videos.)
* If I ever get famous, I’ll be very happy I’m an only child.
* Ah, guys. (Originally found on Yahoo Shine.)
Cynthia Scurtis’ MySpace page
You know, the internets is a funny place. It’s tough to tell what’s real and what isn’t.
Case in point: the woman formerly known as C-Rod has a MySpace page.
A-Fraud (this one we assume is fake) says “Sorry Baby, I need someone more mature.”
We’ll have to check if Cynthia updates her profile. She’s going to need someplace to meet guys, right?

The family that spits together
When I spit, it’s gross. But when Brian “Young Gun” Krause spits, he’s a winner.
At least he is when he’s spitting cherry pits. Brian spit a pit 56 feet, 7 1/2 inches, which sounds like a lot to me. His father, Rick “Pellet Gun” Krause, was his closest competition. He spewed a pit 56 feet, 1 inch.
Lest you think this contest is limited to men, Amanda “no nickname” Jennings held on to the women’s title, hocking a cherry pit 43 feet, 11 inches.
