The Hits Continue for Lance Armstrong

Oh, it was good to be Lance Armstrong a few years back. Young, athletic, and attractive, Armstrong won the Tour de France, the grueling, yet historic annual multiple stage bicycle race, seven years in a row. Seven. In a row. Heck, even cancer couldn’t beat him. After chemo proved successful, he formed the Lance Armstrong Foundation, now known as the Livestrong Foundation, to help others defeat cancer and live a healthier lifestyle. He dated a rock star (Sheryl Crow from 2003 until 2005) and has fathered five healthy, beautiful children. Yes, it was good to be Lance Armstrong…until now. Armstrong … Continue reading →

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. The 36-year-old cancer survivor announced today that he plans to come out of retirement to cycle professionally. “I am happy to announce that after talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden,” Armstrong said in … Continue reading →

Lance and Kate Split

The whirlwind romance that sucked in Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson has apparently spat them out. Numerous reports say the actress and athlete called it quits this weekend shortly after Armstrong hinted that he might run for office. Contrary to popular belief, friends of Goldie Hawn’s daughter say Armstrong’s commitment to public service was not what drove a wedge between them. Rather, New York Post’s Page Six gossip column reports that the pair mutually decided their relationship was just not working. On top of the distance factor—-Armstrong lives in Texas and tours the country raising awareness about cancer and Hudson … Continue reading →
