Got Hot Dogs? So how many did you eat yesterday…50, 60, or did you maybe even push the envelope to the mark of 70? I just wonder how many hot dogs Eva Longoria consumed yesterday. I bet she’s waiting for this Saturday as we all know this weekend, 07-07-07 is the day she gets to castrate Tony Parker. Castrate huh, curious to see where Tony’s extra, unneeded, parts will go? Will Nathan’s put a bid in for them, or will Ball Park be the winning bidder? At any rate, they can expect to pay a pretty penny…The wedding photo rights only were sold for a mere 2 million.
You got to love when athletes and celebrities tie the knot…Their weddings always become the ninth wonder of the world. Forget getting married in the normal settings…A church, at a Country Club, Skeeter’s Garage right down the road so that the paparazzi can get up on the racks instead of being forced to hover like the Coast Guard as they attempt a rescue on a man over board. For these two love birds, (yeah, let’s see how long that lasts) their backdrop will be at Vaux-le Vicomte castle in Maincy, near Paris, France for a small price tag of $45,000 per day. Of course it will, why wouldn’t it? Nothing but the finest! That pricetag…Well, that’s purely chump change, right?
In light of the red-hot story where 07-07-07 seems to be capturing couples, (or should I say the bride to be, because we all know the groom doesn’t get a say in anything…Nope! Just gets told where to be & when to show up) wanting to get married on a day where it looks more like a great winner for a Pick 3 combination in a state’s lottery and for the most part probably a losing lotto ticket will be better than putting that handcuff on the finger! Nevertheless Tony & Eva will become another celebrity-athlete couple to do such on Saturday…In doing so and honoring this momentous "castrating event", LastRowSports.com takes a gander at some notable and notorious celebrity-athlete hookups.
Joe DiMaggio & Marilyn Monroe – The retired New York Yankees star and the blonde bombshell. Nuff Said!
Mike Tyson & Robin Givens – This relationship was the real-life making of beauty and the beast. Or the classic boxer-boxer’s punch bag’s marriage.
David Beckham & Victoria Adams – One of the world’s most footballers ever and well, her claim to fame…Being tagged a former "Spice Girl". Is that such a good thing?
Andre Agassi & Brooke Shields – Before tennis’s badboy became Mr. Graf he was Mr. Shields.
Rick Fox and Vanessa Williams - Married 1999, but their five years of marriage came to an abrupt end just like his over glorified playing career after she (and everyone at grocery stands in North America) saw pictures of him on the front page of a tabloid canoodling with a young woman.
Chuck Finley & Tawny Kitaen - Anaheim and Cleveland pitching fame got hitched in 1997 to Miss Whiteshake. Miss Here I Go Again dancing-on-cars fame. Five years later, she was charged with spousal abuse and battery. Where did it all go wrong? Whitesnake is still trying to answer that same question!
Derek Jeter & (insert beautiful brunette here) - What do high-pitched songstress Mariah Carey, former Miss Universe Lara Dutta, actor and Yale grad Jordana Brewster, Entertainment Tonight reporter Vanessa Minnilo, cute-and-coveted actor Jessica Alba and Penthouse Pet Cassia Riley have in common? The biggest bachelor in NYC, of course.
Tom Brady & (insert piece of eye candy here) - What Jeter is to Bachelorism in baseball, Mr. All-American quarterback is to football! With a resume including three Super Bowl rings, not only dating, but fathering a child with Bridget Moynahan and now parading around with Victoria Secret beauty heartthrob, Gisele Bundchen.
Former NFL and CFL wide receiver Andre Rison and the late singer/rapper Lisa (Left-Eye) Lopes - so, your girlfriend burns your house to the ground and you take her back? Nothing else says true love.
Andy Roddick & Mandy Moore – This duo was as bad as her "Candy" video/song!
David Justice & Halle Berry - married in 1992…Ended in a 1996 divorce due to alleged infidelity and incompatibility. Or in plain English, he cheated on her and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Alyssa Milano –She found love on the diamond, teammate style with both major-league pitchers Carl Pavano and Barry Zito. You think they compared scouting reports on "Sam"?
Jason Sehorn & Angie Harmon – Your typical, average NFL cornerback and Law & Order actor coming together as one.
So now the question then becomes…Who did I forget? Any couple write-ins? And no, Anna Kournikova and singer Enrique Iglesias don’t count…Thus not making my list. Why? She never was a legit in her kraft!
Oh yeah, lets no forget the ever popular duo of Wayne Gretzky-Janet Jones tandem or the other mixed doubles combo of Pete Sampras-Bridgette Wilson-Sampras …The lovely Miss Veronica Vaughn
