Hollywood A-listers Matt Damon, Toby Maguire and Leonardo Dicaprio are being accused of being involved in a high stakes illegal poker ring, and now the scandal has infiltrated the sports world. Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is being investigated by the MLB in connection with the gambling ring. Poker pro Dan Blizerian revealed how things quickly got out of hand during a Beverly Hills high stakes poker game, “I would estimate A-Rod lost, like, a few thousand dollars that night. After everything that happened, he paid-up and left.”
ESPN New York spoke to a source within the MLB who said, “We’re talking to people involved in the investigation and we’re taking this very seriously. Because he had been warned about this before, I would say a possible suspension would be very much in play.”
The London 2012 Olympic Games has announced Sir Paul McCartney will headline the opening ceremonies. The committee wanted to honor British music with an all British lineup, but after the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin turned down the chance to play at the games.
“The hope was to have the cream of British music all in the lineup, but it now looks like Macca [McCartney] will be joined by some younger stars on stage,” reports the Daily Mirror. “But of all the people you would want, McCartney is No 1. He is the ultimate showman and guaranteed to get the Olympics off to a great start.”
While many Beatles fans were hoping the only other surviving Beatle Ringo Star would join him, the famous drummer will be touring in the US during the Olympics.
The London 2012 games will be compared to the Beijing opening ceremonies, who set the bar high with 15,000 performers and a budget of more than $100 million.
As if it were an episode out of the Hills or Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari posed in wedding dresses for Life & Style magazine just days before her Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler called off their engagement.
In the article on news stands now, Cavallari gushes, “I want a romantic, mystical wedding, with lots of flowers.” Cutler and Cavallari had picked a date and a venue for their July 2012 summer wedding. The couple had dated for 8 months before their April engagement. Trouble began because Cavallari was not willing to give up her TV career, and tension boiled over when she refused to fly back to Chicago after the July 21 photo shoot at the LA Mondrian Hotel.
According to a source, “Jay’s family was pushing Kristin to get pregnant immediately,” says the insider. “Kristin knows she’s too young for kids right now.”
While, Cavallari has remained bummed on the breakup with the exception of a few tweets, she did speak out against a report saying that she believe Cutler faked his now infamous NFC Championship knee injury. Cavallari blasted the gossip blog on Twitter, “I never said ANYTHING about jays knee injury. I’ve always backed him 100%. Stop trying to start s***. I knw he was seriously hurt.”
The lockout is over and so are Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari. After setting the date to their July 2012 wedding, the reality TV star and Chicago Bears quarterback have called it off! Cutler broke the news via Facebook when he changed his relationship status to single but defended his former fiance saying, “Thank you all for the support, but if you talk bad about Kristin I will delete and block you. It’s unnecessary and heartless.”
Many Bears fans dubbed Cavallari as the Yoko Ono after Cutler had to pull out of the NFC title game from a knee injury, but the normally standoffish quarterback told his critics “Also, don’t say now I can play football, I could play football when I had her compared to when I don’t. Football is the least of my worries, so have some respect.”
Cutler and Cavallari began dating in the fall and got engaged in April. The Hills and Laguna Beach star is not taking the news well, “She got dumped,” People.com said, She’s absolutely devastated. She can’t believe this is happening.”
Before Cutler, Cavallari dated Mark Sanchez and Matt Leinart… now that she is back on the market, NFL quarterbacks beware!
