Cycling gets all wrestlemania on us! UPDATE

FROM CYCLINGNEWS

With 800 metres to go, former track sprinter Theo Bos (Rabobank Continental) put his right hand on Impey’s shoulder and caused the crash. The panel of UCI commissaires watched the TV replay several times but chose not to take action against Bos for his involvement in the accident as it was unclear whether or not he did it aggressively.

I was unfair in saying that the Rabobank Cyclist did it on purpose and I do apologize.

Also, Impey won despite the crash! HOLY COW!

>Daryl Impey won the 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey but he didn’t enjoy the post-race celebrations due to injuries suffered in a crash with 800 metres to go of the final stage. Impey remained on the ground for 20 minutes before getting back on his bike to cross the finish line.He was taken to the hospital in Alanya where the doctors reported a fracture of the third disc of his lumbar vertebra, a micro-fracture of his neck, facial trauma, a few broken teeth and a deep cut in his lips.

For those of you who don’t know about the world of cycling, many mistake it to be a simple hop on the bike and ride with friends. It can’t be further from the truth! Cycling can be a rough tumble sport with elbows and knees flying especially when cameras and judges aren’t looking.

Today in the Tour of Turkey was a show of unsportsmanlike behavior. While we don’t know what preceded the incident, near the finishline a Rabobank rider threw the Yellow Jersey INTO A BARRIER! WHAM!

See the 3:35 mark. That was a physical feat if I do say so. To throw another man into the barrier and keep going yourself!

Real Life Pacman


PAC MAN (REMI GAILLARD)
by nqtv

When I was little, I LOVED Pacman. Well, I both loved and hated Pacman. I hated those little colorful ghost and how they would topple me and my video game ability.

Well, someone in France loves Pacman so much more than I do, and made it a live action game, little super fruits included. Nothing will stand in their way, not grocery displays, golfers, or poolhalls.

Can we do this please? It looks like so much fun. I mean with the exception of getting beaten with a golf club.

Lisa Rinna told to STOP working out for Playboy shoot

How often would you have to work out to have a photographer say, Stop working out and don’t diet before the shoot? That’s an awful lot my friends. I mean, I’d need two months at least to get to a state of being anywhere near the bunnies.

But that is just what Playboy’s photographer told Lisa Rinna before her shoot that appears in the newest issue of the gentlemen’s magazine.

Rinna, 45, tells Usmagazine.com that photographer Deborah Anderson gave her the specific order.

“She knows that I’m a workout fiend and she said, ‘Lisa, I don’t want you to work out, and I don’t want you to starve yourself before the shoot, because I know you will,’” Rinna tells Us.

When she agreed to bare all, Rinna says she thought, “‘OK, I’ve really got to limit my food intake and be really good. I’ve got to workout everyday, twice a day, like crazy.’”

But Anderson told her she didn’t want her “muscular, hard, sinewy.” She needed to look “soft and beautiful,” Rinna recalls.

Says the star, “At first I was like, ‘Oh, forget it!’ But then I listened to her and said, ‘You know what? I’ve got to trust her. She’s an amazing photographer.’”

“I had to really remind myself every time, and go, ‘It’s OK to eat!’” Rinna tells Us. “She would email me constantly, ‘Are you starving yourself?’ and I would email back, ‘No.’”

Ok, I have seen the photos of Lisa for Playboy, and HAWT DAMN! She looks FABULOUS! Want to see them all? Click here! Obviously NSFW

Sam

Ah moms. They can sometimes be the best promoter of you after a split, telling anyone who will listen just how fabulous you are. Samantha Ronson’s mom, Ann Dexter Jones, is no different.

“She’s doing great,” Dexter Jones, told PEOPLE when asked how Ronson is faring after her high-profile breakup. “She’s really, really well.”

“She’s always working. But I don’t pry,” said Dexter Jones. “I’m giving her her space. She’s strong and smart and with a great heart.”

As for her thoughts on Lohan, Ronson’s mom would only say, “Sam is a strong, fabulous girl … But I think it is good that I don’t comment on Lindsay.”

Yes, don’t comment on Lindsay Lohan, especially after you tried to get a restraining order on her.

So what do you think of Samantha’s mom talking to the press?
