jlo is not happy with michael phelps media fuzz…

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

there are rumors that jennifer lopez isn’t please with the michael phelps fuss!!!

according to an msnbc insider, the singer was overheard blabbering about the swimmer on the set of her monday morning appearance in good morning america.

jennifer “couldn’t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer,” according to a gma spy. “she couldn’t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner michael) phelps’ name, and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that was the big story right now, not ‘the swimmer.’ ”

hello?!!!

how self-centered can you get?!!!

terry porter to be suns next coach…

Monday, June 9th, 2008

terry porter will be the new suns coach, ending the search for a successor to mike d’antoni.

phoenix general manager steve kerr said that he had agreed to terms with porter, who is previously an assistant with the Detroit pistons.

porter, 45, played in the nba for 17 seasons…

“He’s got a great combination of leadership skills,” Kerr said in a telephone interview. “He’s a great communicator. And his coaching experience, two years as a head coach, is important to me. The fact that he’s sat in that chair, that was a key factor. He’s very tough-minded.”

 

porter is expected to sign a three-year deal estimated worth $7 million…

with porter in suns…i hope they kick some butts next season…

i hope…

steve nash…

Monday, April 28th, 2008

 

aside from lewis hamilton, i also have a crush on steve nash.  the first time i saw him play…i was very impressed because of his playmaking, ball-handling skills and shooting .  nash was lauded for his unselfishness on the basketball court, and being “just a nice guy”…unlike kobe. 

 

he is also a two-time nba mvp, nash is only the second point guard (along with magic johnson) to win the mvp award multiple times and the third guard in nba history to earn back-to-back mvps (joining johnson and michael jordan).

 

nash was instrumental in transforming the suns into one of the top teams of the western conference. he led the suns to the western conference finals in the 2004–05 season.

 

as long as nash is on suns…i will be a suns fan.  eventhough it’s now 3 to 1 in the playoffs, in favor of spurs…i still believe that they can turn it around.  miracles can happen you know…

lewis hamilton…

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

isn’t he cute?! lewis hamilton is one of the current drivers of team mclaren. he just started last year and was he superb.  on his rookie year he had the most pole wins and was the one to beat but kimi räikkönen beat him by one point.

 

lewis’ life is also inspirational. at the age of six he finished second in the national BRCA championship the following year. lewis said at the time “i was racing these remote-controlled cars and winning club championships against adults”. that led to Hamilton sampling kart racing for the first time. aged six, his father bought him his first go-kart as a christmas present and would support his racing career as long as he worked hard at school. when supporting his son became problematic, his father took redundancy as an IT Manager and became a contractor - sometimes doing up to three jobs at a time to support his son’s career - and still found enough time to attend all his races. he believed in his son…and now…look at lewis’ accomplishments.
