BASEBALL LOVING ACTRESS GETS DREAM JOB
I always pegged Alyssa Milano as a girly girl. I know; she played a tomboy on ABC’s hit show “Who’s the Boss?” But, that was on screen. The rest of the time I’ve seen her decked out in glamorous gowns with flawless make up and beautiful shoes. And that’s not just at Hollywood events. I’ve seen numerous paparazzi shots of Milano cruising around L.A. with nary a hair out of place.
Now, word comes that the actress has landed what she considers her “dream job,” and it’s not working as the muse of top fashion designers. Instead, the 34-year-old actress is teaming up with MLB.com. MLB… as in Major League Baseball! Milano recently signed on as a post-season correspondent for Major League Baseball’s new broadband channel, TBS Hot Corner.
Little did I know that Milano is a lifelong baseball fan and Los Angeles Dodgers season ticket holder. Given, her passion for the sport the actress says she “hopes to give fans an insider’s perspective” while covering post-season action for both the National and American leagues. The “Charmed” star will reportedly interview players and coaches and host lifestyle segments.
In addition to her new role with the boys of summer, the actress is adding another line to her growing resume—fashion designer. Milano just launched a clothing line, which features fashions for female baseball fans and is sold in stadiums and on MLB.com.
By the way, Milano fans don’t fret, the actress hasn’t given up her day job. She will appear in several episodes of “My Name Is Earl” beginning in October, as well as in the film “Pathology,” which is scheduled to debut later this fall.
EXPLOSIVE AFTERSHAVE CAUSES INJURIES
If you thought wearing Brut aftershave was fashionable perhaps you will think again after learning about one wearer’s fate.
According to news reports, a Milwaukee man suffered serious burns during a camping trip in which he wore Brut aftershave on his neck and face. (Now he’s suing the company—-surprise, surprise.)
Federal court records show that the 81-year-old man was camping with his family when he applied Brut to his neck and face after shaving. The report goes on to say that after exiting the bathroom, he walked to a fire pit to cook breakfast. When he was starting the fire, the body parts that had Brut on them ignited, charring 30% of his body. Records show the man suffered second- and third-degree burns and needed skin grafts in some areas.
As I mentioned earlier, the man is suing the makers of Brut and Wal-Mart (where he bought the product). I’m not going to harp on the pending lawsuit, I just offer the story as a warning to all you Brut wearing individuals and the loved ones of any Brut wearing men out there.
Just so you know, all Brut products come with a written warning explaining that they’re flammable and shouldn’t be used while smoking or near a fire.
Of course, the man’s lawyer is arguing that doesn’t suffice because the camper didn’t actually use the products by the fire. They maintain that the product should say that once you have applied Brut you remain flammable for a period of time.
Either way—don’t say you weren’t warned.
