WILL OPRAH MAKE A COWGIRL FLICK?


Oprah Winfrey is so impressed with the gay love story Brokeback Mountain that she wants to produce her own TV or film version — with two married women as the lead characters, a source close to Oprah, 51, tells Star People. "Oprah said that she's already cast the movie in her own mind. She wants Halle Berry and Charlize Theron, as she sees them both as 'very brave actresses.'"

I'm all for it! Halle would be cool, not really feeling Charlize...like her tho!

I would love to see Oprah and her longtime love Gayle, they are naturals for the roles

Shani Davis became the first African-American to win an individual gold medal in Winter Olympic history Saturday, capturing the men's 1,000-meter speedskating race!!!

Just goes to show, we can do more than run, jump and slam basketballs. Hopefully, his efforts will encourage our black youth to become more involved in winter sports.

Ok, I know how we fair in extended periods of cold weather... yea we get ashy, but that's why they make baby oil

Congratulation Shani!

Short Track skater Apolo Anton Ohno is such a cutie!

Although Ohno didn't begin his short track career until 1995, it took him less than two years to become the best short-track skater in the United States. At 14, after training under Pat Wentland in Lake Placid for just six months, Ohno claimed his first overall title at the U.S. Championships. Ohno's success made him a likely candidate to make the 1998 U.S. Olympic team, but the American struggled with his fitness throughout the 1997-98 season and finished 16th at the Olympic Trials. Ohno committed himself to making the 2002 Olympic squad, and by the 2000-01 season he was one of the world's best skaters. The Seattle native won the World Cup title in the 500m, 1000m and 1500m en route to winning the overall crown, making him the first American to win a World Cup title at any distance.


What's in a name?
Ohno was not named for Apollo, the Greek god of sunlight and prophecy. His unique first name was given to him by his father, who combined the Greek words "Ap," meaning "steering away from," and "lo," meaning "look out, here he comes." Yuki says his son's middle name, "Anton," means priceless. Ohno also goes by the nickname "Chunkie," a holdover from his youth, when he was one of the stockier members of his roller skating team.

Neve and Gliz are the Torino 2006 Mascots.

She is a soft, friendly and elegant snowball. He is a lively and playful ice cube. The shapes of their bodies and the sounds of their names, Neve and Gliz remind us of the two vital elements for practising winter sports: snow and ice.

Together, they sum up the highest Italian and Olympic values: friendship and enthusiasm, loyalty and fun, design and the capacity to innovate.

If you really look at the image above it looks like Neve is giving Gliz a hand job Just leave it to me!

Jack-off or not, I'm thoroughly enjoying the 2006 winter Olympics!
