Lance Armstrong Comes Clean to Doping

The other night, I was in bed, looking for something to watch on television.  I know, I know, experts say you shouldn’t have a television in your bedroom, but I find it comforting to watch a little before I go to bed. I was channel surfing when I came across the Lance Armstrong interview on OWN.  I didn’t realize this was the first airing and I am not a huge cycling fan, but something compelled me to watch. It has already been leaked to the media that Armstrong would confess to using performance-enhancing drugs to Oprah, but I wanted to … Continue reading →

Babies, Babies, and Splits

Sandra Bullock already has her bouncing baby boy Louis, but two more celebs announced today that they have bundles on the way. Lance Armstrong, who in 1996 was diagnosed with testicular cancer, has announced that he and girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting their second child together. And, how do you tell the whole world you are expecting? By tweeting it, of course. Armstrong tweeted, “Getting ?’s today about someone I’m following, a certain @Cincoarmstrong. What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!” @Cincoarmstrong’s first post? “I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and [I’m] 2 … Continue reading →

The State of Texas Wants to Cure Cancer

The Lone Star State is looking to become a leader in cancer research and prevention over the next ten years — and is investing three billion dollars to do it. That three billion dollars would make Texas the holder of the second largest bank of cancer research funds in the nation — second only to the National Cancer Institute. And Texas is already home to some leaders in the fight against cancer, like the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The idea to create the Cancer Prevention and … 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. Reports say Armstrong went down about 12.5 miles from the finish line during the first stage of the … Continue reading →

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. Ordinarily, this type of star baby news would garner a few lines under the “milestones” portion of celebrity rags, but not with Armstrong. 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. 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 →

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 →

The Ex’s Speak Out

Just days after Gwyneth Paltrow flat out refused to wish her ex-fiancé Brad Pitt a hearty congratulations (or anything that resembled best wishes) on the impending births of his new twins his partner’s ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton didn’t hold anything back when speaking to the press. Angelina Jolie’s ex excitedly passed on his congratulations to the “Tomb Raider” actress upon finding out that she and Pitt are expecting a double blessing later this year. In fact, Thornton – who divorced Jolie five years ago – tells OK! magazine he is “thrilled” with the news. “I think she was always meant … Continue reading →
