When asked on a radio show (93.7 KRQ Tuscon’s Johnjay and Rich in the Morning) whether she is dating or has ever kissed Michael Phelps, Amanda Beard had very little to say other than, “Ewww” over and over again. Although to her (dis)credit she did also say, “That’s so nasty” and “Come on, I have really good taste.” Wow--that’s harsh, Aman

Dr. Gonzo, It’s no secret that athletes love beard growing contests.  Who can forget DeShawn Stevenson vs. Drew Gooden, or Chris Cooley vs. his blogging public?  D-Steve and Cooley have since taken the clippers to their respective beards, with D-Steve’s ending in success and Cooley not being as lucky.

There was a big and obvious change to Tyrannosaurus Rex on their fourth album, A Beard of Stars, as Steve Took was replaced by Mickey Finn, with Marc Bolan remaining the true captain of the duo act as singer and songwriter. Of more significance was the change in the band's sound, moving into far more electric rock territory with much greater use of electric guitar, though Bolan's songs were still often grounded in the fairytale-like musings of his earlier work. It was still a ways off from his glam rock approach, but it was definitely more accessible than the relatively homespun elflike folk-rock of the earliest Tyrannosaurus Rex albums. It also made some effective use of organ and somewhat more pop-friendly, conventional tunes like "By the Light of the Magical Moon," "Elemental Child," an

I’m really not in the mood to shave my facial hairs these days. Partially due to my indifference to some of my own aesthetic concerns and the other due to my own curiosity of how I look like with all these facial hairs. I firstly thought I’d look shabbier in person with both these moustache and beard untrimmed. But recently, I’m starting to see how I actually do look better this way, hahaha… I look more manly and more mature now. It’s perhaps unfortunate that, I must admit here, the real me isn’t a very mature young man to begin with. I still have a lot to learn…..

In last couple of days, there has been quite some buzz around Akshay Kumar sporting a beard for his yet another blockbuster in the making Singh Is Kinng. His rationale behind this? A beard of a Sikh is one of the five sacred insignia of his religion.However, Himesh Reshammiya is required to take an altogether different route for his still-to-come-on-floors film Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekkh Mudh Mudh Ke.Well, buzz is that Himesh, who plays a Delhite in the film, will be shaving off his beard for one of the crucial scenes in the film. Even though the film is in its pre-production stage, it has been finalized that Himesh would have to come under the razor for a scene in the film where he would be seen sans his trademark beard.To confirm if this indeed was true or just a speculation, we got in touch

My face is allergic to beards. I get rashes from facial hair. So I played the sardar in ‘Singh Is King’ with all the other requirements except the beard,” Om Puri, who plays Akshay’s friend in the movie, told IANS.However, for Jagmohan Mundhra’s “Shoot On Sight”, Om had no choice but to sport a beard.“It’s the role of a fundamentalist maulvi, a very powerful part with dramatic speeches, and I couldn’t

Depois, há os que gostam de visitar as praias africanas e de fazer "safaris" no Quénia e na Tanzânia, mas sentem pouca (ou nenhuma) empatia para com o continente; por fim, existem os apaixonados.

Yes, that’s right. To be the wife of the largest closet case in America, you have to be an A or B-lister, and still have to audition.

Everybody loves dessert and sweets, right? Well, if you ever venture into Aberdeen Mall in Richmond, as "Asian" mall, you will find one of the hottest franchises that have touched upon the shores of Vancouver. Some of you may have already heard of this chain, especially you foodies out there. It's called Beard Papa's, the makers of "fresh'n natural cream puffs" or also "The World's Best Cream Puffs".The franchise started in 1999 in Japan. Since then, its popularity has exploded and there are now over 300 locations around the world, including stores in China, Hong Kong, Korea (I don't know where the location is--someone fill me in), Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, the USA, and others. The location at Aberdeen Center has been constantly busy, with long line ups on the weekends. We were lucky enough to find the Beard Papa's location without a line up during the week. Let's take a closer look to see just how good these cream puffs really are.Here's the front of the Beard Papa's loca

November is ‘National Beard Month’. Now there are many reasons to grow a beard—curiosity, whimsy, lowness of character among them—but once the decision to grow has been brooked, one must choose from a dizzying variety of styles. Nonetheless, fear not! As a comfort to the boggled, and following the scientific and philosophic rule that entities should not unnecessarily be multiplied, I’ve prepared a small list of common beard types. Regular Beards These are bland beards that eschew excitement: fine if you want to look like a Fisher-Price construction worker, bad if you want to score. A nice variation is the Miami Vice five-day growth (also called the “Indiana J.”), which offers a slightly edgy look, but risks associating its wearer with people who are—never mind the insistent, boozy reasons—irremediably stuck in the 1980s. Long Beards These are your basic Santa Claus/ZZ Top full-facial hair shafts. Wearers account for 35% of official Sasquatch sightings each yea

A stunning journey into the world of Peter Beard: Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon, painted on by Salvador Dalí, and made diaries with Andy Warhol; he toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones, created books with Jacqueline Onassis and Mick Jagger - all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took Vogue stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones - most notably Iman - back to the U.S. with him. His love affair with natural history and wildlife, which informs most of his work, began when he was a teenager. He had read the books of Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) and after spending time in Kenya and befriending the author, bought a piece

Our first time here in Belize and both my husband and I have enjoyed our days here and we still have many more to come. So far we have experienced so much hospitality here at the Jungle Dome ~ everyone is so kind and friendly. First night in we relaxed by the pool with a yummy dinner and some Belikins ~ such great Belizean beer!We have done one adventure after the next. First day we did the ATM which was just fantastic ~ an experience everyone should walk away with. Today we drive with Luis to Caracol. Very good tour guide and great conversation. He had so much to say and share. Then we stopped by Rio Frio cave and the pool of waterfalls to swim in. It was all so much fun. Tonight we had our last wonderful meal with the Jungle Dome ~ best food on a vacation.We will miss the warm service and great food. Tomorrow we do the zip line and cave tubing and then off to the island but wanted to say many thanks to the wonderful stuff at the Jungle Dome. David is very friendly and fun to talk to

Posing nude in Playboy automatically makes you one of our favorite women sports stars, but now Amanda Beard is moving even higher up in our rankings as she professes to be a big fan of all things, Ultimate Fighting.From SI:[Says Beard,] I switched to an advertisement for a UFC pay-per-view featuring Royce Gracie. I didn't know anything about it but it looked cool so I said, 'Why not?' and ordered it. I was instantly hooked. I couldn't stop watching it. I immediately became a fan and I wanted to learn everything about it. It's been more than a year now and I'm still learning.Awesome. A hot chick who digs fighting and likes to take her clothes off. Does it get any better than that?Luckily, I found a boyfriend who liked it as well, so I didn't have to be that girl sitting in her house watching it by herself.Ohhhhhhhhhh. Point deduction - Miss Beard - boyfriend violation. Yeah, it must have been realllly hard to find a guy who likes the UFC and also wants to date a hot, female athle

Amanda Beard is one of the best female swimmers this generation of Americans has ever seen, but Americas sexiest athlete? I'm not so sure ... Yes, she has won seven Olympic medals, but the last time Beard attracted this much attention she was on the podium winning gold in Athens (that's more than most of us can say for ourselves.) This time? Well, Amanda will be featured nude in this months issue of Playboy magazine. She will be featured on the cover and in a revealing pictorial. When asked why she did it, Beard said it was simply a business/career decision. But was it the right one? She’s pretty good looking, but what really sets her apart from any of the of the other thousands of women who appear nude in Playboy is her accomplishments and we all know she got that great body from being active ... and honestly that's something I'm willing to support!

Amanda Beard has evolved from teenager in the Atlanta Olympics of 1996 to a powerful, beautiful woman in the Athens Games of 2004. While a model's figure and riveting swimming skills, Amanda Beard is a true star of the sport of swimming. 25-year-old American Olympic Gold winner Amanda Beard’s incredible all-wet spread for Playboy was finally out this week. Hope I will get those pictures soon.

I know it's not football related but a dog will stray. (I bet she has watched a football game...there!) I'm seeing that swimming hottie, Amanda Beard, is mentioned all over the net because of her spread in Playboy. Kudos to With Leather for digging up some great links for your viewing pleasure. I love you WL!It's amazing how much interest can be generated by removing 1/4 pound of clothing...wet. All of a sudden I'm looking forward to the Olympics again...Oh, and because everybody wants to see them, the photos from her Playboy spread are HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE (first four NSFW-ish), HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE (last five NSFW). You'll find that there's some unfortunate and excessive airbrushing, but there's plenty of nipply, toned-body goodness as well. Happy Friday everyone!(Much thanks to Rocco, who pointed out where I could find the Playboy spread. Of course, he was too lazy to provide me any links, but he gave me directions there.
