Poor Prince Harry! Â Seems a guy can't even enjoy an innocent game of strip poker these days without every girl there wanting to snap a picture with her cell phone.
On another note Nike says Lance Armstrong is "still their man" and that they have absolutely NO intention of cancelling their contract. Â Kudos to them!
Appears Gaby Douglas is the big winner right now in the endorsement deals following the Olympics. Â She has already signed multi-million dollar contracts through the same agent who represented Shannon Miller and Shawn Johnson. Â Suppose we will soon be seeing her on "Dancing With The Stars" as well.
My question is, "What about Ali Raisman? Â She was the best gymnast on the team, winning two golds and a bronze while Gaby only managed two golds with Aly, the team captain constantly steadying her nerves with pep talks during her all-around competition. Â I hope she does not get overlooked by all of Gaby's publicity.
By the way, Â Gaby sat down with Oprah recently, claiming the reason she left Virginia to train in Indiana was because she was being bullied by the white gymnasts in Virginia. Â She went so far as to play the race card, claiming she was bullied because she was black. Â P-u-leese! Â
We all know why she went to Indiana. Â She wanted to train with Shawn Johnson's mentor because she thought she'd have a better shot at the Olympic team. Â Nothing wrong with that; but let's leave the race card out of it.
As for Missy Franklin, the 17-year-old swimming phenom from Colorado who won four golds in London, she is turning down endorsement deals worth $5 to $10 million over the next four years in order to remain an amateur and eligible to swim for her college swim team. Â She says she wants "the college experience." Â Hope she doesn't suffer a catastrophic injury before Rio.
