> The Yankees' Jason Giambi revealed to Portfolio.com that when his batting is going badly he dons a gold lamé tiger-stripe thong for luck.
The first baseman says, "I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out
of a big slump." Giambi also claims that he's shared the thong with
teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robin Ventura, and Robinson
Cano, and asserts,
"All of them wore it and got hits. The thong works
every time." OK -- we admit we just got a whole lot more interested in
baseball, but we can't figure out why the Yankees don't make the thong
a required part of the official team uniform.
> Charlize Theron is tired of journalists claiming she's been amping up the ugly to receive extra praise for taking on gritty roles. She tells W magazine that she didn't do anything to play down her looks for two of her recent films: "North Country was dirt. That's what happens when you go into a mine. In
the Valley of Elah -- that's when I took real offence, because that was
just my real hair color and me with no makeup." The actress continued, "It really irks me that people think I choose these roles because, if
I'm not looking attractive, they will take me seriously. I'm sorry, but
if I'm going to play a cop, I'm not going to be wearing eyeliner." We hear you Charlize -- but for the sake of some of our dear dyke readers, we'd appreciate it if you didn't say or do anything that might jeopardize the possible rise of a platoon of high femme police officers.
> Lindsay Lohan is looking to make a little dough off her 22nd birthday party. A new website targeting corporate sponsors recently went live and promises "a branding opportunity for an international media worthy event." Sponsors will receive "inclusion in gift bags, logo on the invite, and images of Lindsay and VIP guests with the product." Of course it goes without saying that all of this is dependent upon Lindsay not spending this birthday in rehab with entirely different kind of sponsor.
