Is it just me or does Hull City AFC manager Phil Brown actually look a lot like House actor Hugh Laurie? To me they look like twins...

See for yourself...

Phil Brown





Hugh Laurie

I wonder if Phil Brown is like 'House' and that's how he is getting those amazing results out of the Hull squad?

What do you think?

Its no wonder Angelina and Brad keep on littering the globe with new kids is it? I mean, if magazine's will bid $15 million for exclusive photos of the babies who wouldn't just become a kid factory? $15 million more than pays for raising those kids, paying for college and hell, even allows you to dump them off with a nanny so you can get down to work making more babies...

Frankly, it is sick that anyone would pay $15 million for a baby photo. The Pitt-Jolie clan should donate the cash to charity since they hardly need that kind of cash.

Anyone interested in my baby snaps? I'll consider offers over $500!?

Anyone a Rugby fan? Do you recall the streaker at the All Black versus Ireland game in June 2006? Well, her name is Lisa Lewis and just recently she became the first naked news reader on the New Zealand Naked News Flash. I'm stunned that a country like New Zealand would even have a naked news service but apparently it does and Lisa became something of an overnight celebrity reading the news naked.

The fact that she was formerly an erotic dancer was known to the media and her employer but just a few days after her nervous first news read it was also revealed that she is a hooker! She admitted that she knew tis news might come out sooner or later but was surprised it took so little time? Lisa Lewis it seems is a $7000 per night private escort. She charges $2000/hour and $10,000 per weekend.

She says that she does make a living that way to pay for a 'super education' for her 3-year old son. Yes Lisa.... we believe you.

I had to laugh at the story the BBC is running on Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo. He must be one very embarrassed man. Apparently, after dropping his girlfriend off for the evening, he picked up three prostitutes for 'fun'. However, when things got hot and heavy, he discovered that all three were, well, men - transvestites. There is a photo of one of these 'ladies' in the BBC article and all I can ask is this - if Ronaldo can see a soccer ball so well then what the hell is he thinking picking up 'women' that look like a shemale? Is he actually blind?

The article poses many more questions than it answers. For example;

1. Why would someone so wealthy and famous solicit street hookers in the first place?

2. Why would someone so wealthy and famous who relies on his fitness to make money risk getting AIDS?

3. Why would someone so wealthy and famous risk extortion by these three transvestites and any other person who learned about the incident?

4. What the hell does his girlfriend think?

What is it with famous people? Recall Hugh Grant and the prostitute ? George Michael and the toilet incident.... the list goes on and on....... Are they bent on self destruction or something?

Brazilian football star Ronaldo has been caught up in a sex scandal with three cross-dressing prostitutes.

Having dropped off his girlfriend at her house in Rio de Janeiro on Monday night, the 2002 World Cup winner picked up three prostitutes.

When they all booked into a motel, the AC Milan striker discovered that the prostitutes were in fact men.

According to Rio police, he alleges that the transvestites then tried to extort money from him.

Brian May of Queen is in the news today after being installed as Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. But it's not that fact that makes me want to congratulate Mr. May... it's that he finally finished his PhD and is actually Dr. Brian May - Queen Guitarist.

May did complete his undergraduate degree and started a PhD in Astrophysics before deciding to pursue a career with Freddie and crew as part of Queen. Congrats for making in retrospect a wise career choice because I imagine he has made a lot more cash than a University Professor would and likely had a lot more fun while doing it. But he didn't give up on his PhD. He actually returned to his research and completed his PhD in 2007 after a gap of 30-years. Now that is amazing.

What a life these rock stars have. First he gets to be a real rock star and then the academic he always wanted to be... even becoming a University Chancellor in the process.

Congrats Dr. May and may your guitar forever rock! I guess you can fund your own research too?
