OK Obama, why not make it a regular thing every Thursday evening in the rose garden? Here’s my suggested schedule for the next five weeks.
August 6: Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador
They tolerated each other during the Tour, but after its conclusion their true feelings came to light. Some excerpts:
Contador: “My relationship with Lance Armstrong is zero. He’s a great rider and he did a great Tour. Another thing is on a personal level, where I have never admired him and never will.”
Contador: “It was a tense situation [competing on the same team]. We didn’t have fluid communication despite the fact that we were the two main riders on the team. And this meant the rest of the cyclists and the technical staff also felt a bit of tension. Wherever I go [in 2009] I will look for a teammate who is with me 100 percent.”
Armstrong (Twitter): “Hey pistolero, there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’. what did I say in March? Lots to learn. Restated.”
Armstrong (Twitter): ““Seeing these comments from AC. If I were him I’d drop this drivel and start thanking his team. w/o them, he doesn’t win. A champion is also measured on how much he respect his teammates and opponents.”
August 13: Entourage and Seth Rogen
In a recent episode of Entourage, the characters had made references to Seth Rogen’s “ugliness” in discussing Rogen’s chances of landing a babe like Katherine Heigl in real life. Rogen shot back:
“Yeah, those guys are assholes. I actually ran into Matt…Kevin Dillon in a Starbucks. And he’s like ‘you know, I’ve got to kind of apologize because apparently the guy who created our show doesn’t like you so much.’ And I said ‘well I have reason to believe because I think [showrunner] Doug Ellin is a moron from all I can understand so it makes sense he doesn’t like me.’ And I’ve kind of said some disparaging things about the show. Although in our defense, [producer] Mark Wahlberg called us misogynistic in an interview, so I think they kind of started that…It’s on. Luckily I never have and never plan on watching Entourage.”
August 20: Jamie Foxx, Miley Cyrus, and Radiohead
This one’s complicated. Miley Cyrus was all mad over Radiohead’s refusal to meet with her at the 2009 Grammys. The upset teenager then threatened to “ruin them” and “tell everyone.” Jamie Foxx commented on her little tantrum during his radio show:
“She’s gonna ruin Radiohead’s career? The same Radiohead that gets paid a million dollars just to sample their songs? … Make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat.”
August 27: Christian Bale and Shane Hurlbut
This was just too vintage not to include. How can we forget Christians rant over Shane’s “ameteur” set behavior.
September 3: Sarah Palin and David Letterman
Letterman’s referred to Palin’s “slutty flight attendant look,” and the often-replayed Alex Rodriguez and Eliot Spitzer jokes about her daughter.
