Uppity Women of Shakespearean Times

Soldiers, spies, businesswomen, lobbyists, those Shakespearean women really knew how to live. Outspoken and daring, all while keeping their heads during a time when women could be flogged for speaking harshly to their husbands, or in the case of King Henry VIII, loose their heads for not producing an heir, the women portrayed in this book are proud, passionate or just trying to make a living. Uppity Women of Shakespearean Times is one of a series of books about groundbreaking women of history that really got lost in the shuffle. You won’t find the famous, at least not today, but … Continue reading →

The Ultimate Hollywood Odd Couple

Remember the good-looking guy in high school that every girl wanted to date? He was the older, untouchable senior who made sophomore girls swoon and never had a steady girlfriend because, well, he didn’t have to. With so little of him to go around it wasn’t prudent for him to commit to a single female. Then, one day it happened. Stud muffin got a girlfriend and she turned out to be the equivalent of America Ferrera’s character on ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” That’s when his stock plummeted and tongues started wagging. That’s about the only analogy I can come up with … Continue reading →

Lance Armstrong and Matt Lauer Injured in Cycling Accidents

No, Lance Armstrong didn’t run over Matt Lauer during a training ride. Rather, the two quasi-celebs, who happen to share the same haircut, were involved in two separate bicycle accidents, which left them both hospitalized. Armstrong reportedly remains hospitalized in Spain following a crash this morning. The seven-time Tour de France champ was participating in his first professional race on European soil since winning his last yellow jersey when he got caught up in a massive pile-up involving dozens of other riders.

Lance Armstrong Defies Odds Again

The words “super” and “sperm” come to mind right about now. If you haven’t already heard cycling champ Lance Armstrong and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting their first child together.

The uber athlete, who won seven straight Tour de France crowns after battling testicular cancer, is back on the front page of major publications because of his superior swimmers. According to Armstrong’s handlers, the superhuman cyclist, who has the lung capacity of a whale, has defied … Continue reading →

Lance Armstrong Set to Ride Again

Back in the saddle again… and for once I’m not talking about Lance Armstrong’s love life. Rather, the man many considered the “King of Fitness,” is straddling his bike again on the road to what he hopes will be his eighth Tour de France title.

Numerous reports say the actress and athlete called it quits this weekend shortly after Armstrong hinted that he might run for office.

Lance Armstrong’s Run for the White House?

I willing admit that I find Lance Armstrong attractive. How can I deny it now when I’ve already publicly professed my feelings for him in numerous blogs. However, I have never been keen on the way he handles his love life. From splitting with his wife (and the mother of their three young children) to walking out on his former fiancée Sheryl Crow, then dumping his last celebrity designer girlfriend, hooking up with Hollywood nymph Ashley Olsen and now actress Kate Hudson (who is young enough to be his daughter—okay, I’m exaggerating). All that drama aside the guy is an … Continue reading →
