Despite winning 9 gold medals for the United States, New Jersey has banned former Olympian Carl Lewis form running for Senate. NJ Secretary of State Kim Guadagno has removed Lewis’ name from the June Democratic primary ballot claiming Lewis does not meet the state’s four-year residency requirement to run for office.
Lewis’ residency has been called into question because the he paid income taxes in California. Sports Illustrated’s “Olympian of the Century” plans to appeal the ruling saying, “I’ve been in competition for a long time so nothing surprises me,” he said. “What’s sad, though, is who’s talking about the people of the 8th District? The kids whose schools are struggling? The seniors who are having trouble paying their taxes?”
Lewis won 10 Olympic medals in track and field during the 1984, 88, 92 and 96 games. Maybe Lewis needs his long-form birth certificate?!?
Congratulations to Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler who were engaged over the weekend! The Chicago Bears quarterback popped the quesiton while the couple was on vacation in Cabo.
The pair have been together for just 8 months, but the Hills alumn has stood by her man during tough times… including a knee injury and disaterous NFC title game. Cutler gave Cavallari a 5.2 carat diamond ring.
The couple first met at a Chicago Bears preseason game, and apparently Cavallari has a thing for quarterbacks. In the past, she has dated Mark Sanchez and Matt Leinart.
David Beckham is being called out by critics who say a new video of him shooting three soccer balls into a trash can more than 100-yards away is fake! The viral video campaign is sponsored by Pepsi causing many to speculate its authenticity. But Becks told reporters otherwise saying, “I spent five or six hours on the beach so I had a lot of time to practice!” What do you think?
A judge has order David Beckham to pay In Touch Magazine’s court fees after he sued the magazine for $25 million over false accusations. The suit was dismissed by the judge over failure of evidence that the editors of In Touch published the story “with malice” intent after In Touch printed that Becks cheated on wife Victoria beckham with Bosian prostitute, Irma Nici.
Beckham refutes the dates and times Nici claimed she was with the soccer star. In the legal documents obtained by News of the World, Beckhman said: “As is my custom when I arrive at a hotel on a road trip before a match, a massage therapist came to my hotel room within a few hours after I checked to in to give me a massage… I recall that the therapist did not leave my hotel room until the very early morning. My security team was with me before, during and after the massage. After the therapist left I went to sleep. I have reviewed the daily logs prepared by my security detail which confirm my recollections.”
Becks has already filed an appeal but still must pay the $300,000 in legal fees for In Touch. Him and his wife Victoria are expecting their fourth child and first daughter this summer.
