Page 1 Consider (04/04)

  • Scared (From Being) Straight: I knew about the big serve, but who knew former German tennis star Michael Stich had such a dirty provocative mind? Since his retirement in 1997, the '91 Wimbledon champ has devoted much of his time to his AIDS foundation. I'd never heard of it -- until word spread about his new advertising campaign intended to prevent children from contracting the HIV virus that features explicit photographs of simulated sexual acts. (DW)


  • He's So Vain: "Shampoo" boy Warren Beatty probably thinks that song is about him. (M&C)
  • Blow Hard: It's not enough that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards admits to snorting his dad's ashes along with some cocaine, he's bragging about it. (MSNBC)

  • Mr. Clean: New York magazine profile Mets baseball cutie David Wright this week, claiming that the rich, young and handsome slugger is the perfect New York sports star -- almost too perfect. Funny, though. His teammate Paul Lo Duca -- a catcher -- doesn't agree at all, saying all his teammates wives want to marry Wright: "Hell, I want to marry the kid," said Lo Duca, "I said to my wife -- I said, 'Honey, if I don’t come back, it means I ran away with David Wright.' He’s helped bring the fun back to this team, OK? Which, believe you me, was missing for a long, long time." (Funny thing, though. Didn't Lo Duca already run away from his wife, but not with Davey?) (NYM)

  • Strife of the Party GOP darling and former gay porn star Matt Sanchez -- aka Rod Majors -- is kind of like yesterday's news, but it's still fun to watch Jack E. Jett toy with the helpless 36-year-old college sophomore. (Radar)
  • The Blogger Crack'd: After refusing to turn over his video footage of an anarchist protest to a grand jury and subsequently spending more than seven months in the slammer, blogger Josh Wolf has turned over video footage to prosecutors and is scheduled to be released today. Wolf says the 226 days he's spent in prison "was worth every second to get what I wanted from day one, which is that I will not have to testify before the grand jury about the events at the protest or the identities of participants." Seven and a half months in prison? If jail time were on the line I'd have given them anything they wanted in about seven and a half seconds. I'm no Judy Miller Mary Richards. (Romenesko)

  • Run for From 'The Hills': I haven't even gotten around to watching this week's episode yet, but the ever-reliable Us Weekly is reporting that Lauren "LC" Conrad and her best friend/roommate Heidi Montag of "The Hills" fame are no longer speaking. "Lauren and Heidi are no longer friends," a Hills source tells Us. "They never talk or hang out. Spencer achieved his goal and broke them apart." Time to call Audrina. (Us)
  • Pale Male: Newswoman Paula Zahn (finally) trades up -- and no, she isn't leaving CNN. (Radar)
  • New York Spoiler: Newport-smoker-extraordinaire Tiffany Pollard has tasted the flavor of love twice, but now she's dancing to her own tune. (ASL)

  • My Mama Told Me Not to Use It: Who knew movies had their own blogs? (HairsprayBlog)
  • David Beckham: When bad haircuts happen to hot men. (OhLaLaParis)

    There isn't a haircut possible that could detract from Beckham's hotness!
