Last night the LA Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 83-79 in a close Game 7 matchup. It is the sixteenth championship the Lakers have won, not to mention a back-to-back title. Kobe Bryant took home his second straight Finals MVP, but Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who won his 11th title, said the MVP of the night went to Ron Artest. Artest helped the Lakers come back from a 13-point deficit and scored 20 pts.
The night was not just about the players but the jersey chasers too! Lamar Odom’s wife, Khloe Kardashian took to her blog saying:
“When the team was presented with their Championship t-shirts, hats and trophy, I was literally bursting with pride. I even cried of happiness. Seeing that huge smile on Lamar’s face seriously melted me — I will never forget that moment! It’s embedded in my mind forever and I am so grateful for this experience. The people, the confetti, the screams, the tears of joy! Such an amazing feeling.”
NY Jets QB Mark Sanchez attended the 64th Annual Tony Awards with his girlfriend Jamie-Lynn Singler.
The two have been dating since April when they met at the Tribeca Film Festival. In the past, the former USC quarterback has been linked to Kristin Cavallari and model Hilary Rhoda.
At the Tonys, Sanchez introduced a song from the musical “Memphis” and had this to say about his new hobby: “I’ve become a huge fan of musicals since I’ve come to New York, and I’ve taken some heat from guys on the team, believe me.”
Lady Gaga attended yesterday’s Mets/ Padres game in a black bra and leather jacket. Gaga is a longtime Yankees fan but took in the Mets game while in town for her sister’s high school graduation.
Gaga sat in the stands like the normal fan… well behind home plate, before her and her entourage moved up to a luxury suite. When Gaga was shown on the big screen she greeted her fans by flipping the bird. Lady Gaga was also seen kissing a female companion, and oddly enough it was not as big of a deal as when Miley Cyrus kissed a girl on Britain’s Got Talent.
The Mets played a doubleheader and lost their first game (the one that Gaga was in attendance for) 4-2 but won the night game 3-0.
Trautr.com handed out over 5,000 Khloe Kardashian masks to Celtics fans, but it was not enough to knock the Lakers off their game. LA took Game 3 winning 91-84 as they lead the series 2-1.
After lackluster performances in Games 1 and 2, Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom had his best performance of the Finals with 12 pts and went 5-5 from the field.
Before the NBA Finals, Odom revealed he was worried about Boston fans’ hostility and did not want his wife attending games in Boston. Despite the 5,000 Khloe Kardashian masks, the real Kardashian was in NY who appeared on Letterman to promote her upcoming E! Reality series, “Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami.”
Similar pranks have been used for famous jersey chasers like Kardashian. In 2007, RuinRomo.com passed out Jessica Simpson masks. Red Sox fans made Madonna masks for A-Rod’s high profile romance with Madonna in 2008.
