Everybody Loves a Hummer
In case you missed this, here is a hilarious deleted scene from the new film "Knocked Up." Let's hope the undeleted scenes are half as funny!
Seems Like Old Times
Hottie Newcastle striker Michael Owen says he's happy to have his former Real Madrid teammate David Beckham back on the England squad. The pair, who spent a season together at the Santiago Bernabeu before Owen transfered to Newcastle, will play together for the first time since last year's World Cup in Saturday's friendly against Brazil. Now if only Michael would become David's Kato Kaelin on the Beckhams' new Los Angeles reality show ... now that would be worth watching.
Washington, We Have a Problem
Republicans are abuzz with the hope that former actor/senator Fred Thompson will come to the rescue of the whimpering GOP, whose leading presidential candidates so far are a crackpot, former New England governor/male-model Mormon and a thrice-married, pro-choice / pro-gay-rights crossdressing New Yorker. But as good as Thompson sounds on paper, is Christian America really ready for a trophy wife in the White House? Thompson, who turns 65 in August, has three kids with his first wife, whom he divorced in 1985 after 26 years of marriage, and one with his current wife, Jeri Kehn, whom he started dating when she was in her late 20s. He's more than old enough to be her father -- and finally married in 2002 when she was 35. (NYP)

Brad (and Kenny)'s Hair Ups and Downs!
As I flipped through this photo essay about Brad Pitt's ever-changing hairdos yesterday in the new Us Weekly, I couldn't help but think: Wow, he sure has changed his look a lot over the years. And I've had the same exact haircut since I was about 4. Then I thought about it a second longer and I remembered, well, except for that bleached-blond omelet I had back in '87. Oh, and the razor cut in '97. And the embarrassing and totally didn't work on me long hair I had last summer (you can see where this is going) ... I'm putting it all out there, so why don't you e-mail me your biggest hair don'ts and I will post them next week. :-)
Take Me Out
Michael and I had a fun time last night at Shea Stadium, although the Mets couldn't buy a run to save their lives, losing 3-0 to the San Francisco Giants. It was fun seeing Barry Zito, even if the crowd still holds a grudge against him for not joining New York -- and even more fun hearing the crowd lay into Barry Bonds every time he ... well, pretty much every time he did anything.

Tom Brady Does Details
I see Patriots QB Tom Brady is on the cover of the new Details. I thought subscribing to the magazine would give me early access to this monthly, but I've come to realize I get mine about nine years after I see it on the stands. For now, I'll share these photos from their Web site ... perhaps more will follow in late August. I'm curious to see if he addresses his rumored "Irish twins" x 2 with Bridget and Gisele.

French Toast
Marat Safin tried every trick in the Nadia Comaneci Handbook and still came up a straight sets loser to Janko Tipsarevic, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5. French favorite Richard Gasquet also lost in straights, to Belgian Kristof Vliegen, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-1. And Robby Ginepri, the one remaining American in the men's draw, put up a valiant fight before going down in five to Argentine Diego Hartfield, 6-4, 1-6, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. No major upsets in the women's draw, although 2004 champion Anastasia Myskina's 6-1, 6-0 loss to Gainey Ranch 2001 ladies' club champion American Meghann Shaughnessy in the first round has to be one of the saddest results in the open era.
Stray-Rod
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez sure has some explaining to do to his wife, Cynthia (you remember her, the mother of their 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Natasha). And when did Lizzie Grubman start using steroids? I wonder if Bud Selig is going to weigh in on this one ... (NYP)

French Postcards
These sexy photos of Malik are courtesy of my blogging pals Steph & Alek over at OhLaLaParis. The boys produced this photo shoot for DNA magazine with the photographer Fred Goudon. The results speak for themselves ... ooh la la!

Digging 'Diggers'
Watched the director Katherine Dieckmann's new film, "Diggers," with Michael over the weekend. It stars cutie Paul Rudd and Maura Tierney as a working-class brother-sister coping with the death of their clam digger father on the South Shore of Long Island circa 1976. The "realizing you're really an adult once your parents die" theme isn't groundbreaking, but the smart script and outstanding performances -- particularly by Tierney and the hilarious Ken Marino (the former "State" star who also wrote and co-produced the film) as the siblings' hyperfertile friend Lozo -- make the film worth seeing. (It was fun seeing Lauren Ambrose in a small part that is decidedly not Claire Fisher, although her inner art student rises to the surface in the end!) One question though: what happened to the Strong Long Island accents, guys? Buy "Diggers" on DVD here.
Footnote: "Diggers" received a limited theatrical release on April 27, 2007, and also premiered on HDNet on the same day, and the DVD came out days later, on May 1. It's an interesting strategy for a "little movie" given the expense of marketing and getting a film distributed in wide release. I wonder if we'll see more "simultaneous releasing" options as the digital age continues.

How Embarrassing
And now it's off to rehab (again) for Lindsay Lohan. I certainly hope this doesn't get in the way of their being a "Herbie Fully Loaded 2" -- she's such a gifted actress. People keep saying it's just inevitable that she end up like this because she's been famous since she was a young child. But I don't buy into that crap. Hilary Duff was twice as big a star before her and doesn't act like this. Alyssa Milano was a star since she was a child and never had any of these problems. This is a reflection of her, not society.

An American (Massacre) in Paris
It didn't take long for 2007 to become the worst American performance at the French Open in at least 30 years. Eight of the nine Americans entered lost in the first round -- including our top players, James Blake and Andy Roddick. And the win-challenged Robby Ginepri is the only remaining American left in the draw -- mainly because his match was suspended. Another person whose match was suspended is Carlos Moya, whom I'd marry to give him U.S. citizenship any old time.
