Leaving London Hotel, Rihanna Ducks Chris Brown Questions


Rihanna, the lovely famed singer who’s equally famous for her row with rapper Chris Brown, was just seen leaving a London hotel in a mosh of fans and press (which are the same thing, now-a-days).
This just happened: a Twitter user by the name of Jesal Parshotam put out a photo on Twitter (which is putting it in the public domain) and said in two Twitter tweets, he tried to get Rihanna to talk about “her relationship with Chris Brown” but she was having none of it.

Hope Solo’s First Thanksgiving With Jerramy Stevens


Hope Solo has been really busy. In the space of less than two weeks, she had a party, went to court to get the man she planned to marry out of jail after an alleged domestic violence incident, married him just hours later, then flew to Tampa to fish with him, traveled to Chicago for a show, flew back to Tampa, and then, on Thanksgiving Day, settled down to eat and by her own admission do the impossible: get fat.

Santa Claus Is In The Air, At An Airport




The people you meet in airports. In the middle of a hectic, stressful travel day where this blogger waited four hours to board a delayed flight that switched gates three times, Santa Claus showed up.

No, Santa Claus didn’t have his sleigh or eight reindeer, but he did have a calling card: his calling card. It read Santa Claus. Read about the rest at Zennie62.com: Santa Claus Is Headed To Hawaii

SF v Miami v Houston For Super Bowls 50 And 51

The competition for future Super Bowl host cities for Super Bowl's 50 and 51 was established last week, when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell set San Francisco up against first Miami for Super Bowl 50, and then Houston for 51, should Miami win for 50.

That places San Francisco, which is building a new stadium for the 49ers, in the position of being behind against a legendary Super Bowl host, and one that, having hosted it once, is hungry to get it again.

The legendary host is, of course, Miami. "South Florida," as the NFL calls it, has hosted the Super Bowl 10 times, a record matched only by New Orleans. Houston hosted the Super Bowl in 2004, and having done a very good job, wants to host it again, and has been at the plate fighting for the right to do so once more before this time. Houston's hungry.

What both Miami and Houston have in their favor are coordinated efforts that are joint ventures. In Houston's case, the bid is a combination of the resources of the Houston Texans, the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Harris County/Houston Sports Authority, and Reliant Park.

What San Francisco has in its favor is the new stadium, a number of top-quality hotels, and a good regional infrastructure. But what San Francisco does not have in its favor is that it's never hosted a Super Bowl, and it never bid for one - the last time, Oakland did.

That effort was ran by this blogger.

Stay tuned.
