I was shocked this morning when seeing a “tough” guy posing for the camera. It’s tough guy boxer Oscar de la Hoya in drag and I can assure you guys, that’s not a pretty image you’ll take when you go to sleep.

Oscar de la Hoya’s pics, which I first found on X17online.com - an online paparazzi agency - could be manufactured announced RadarOnline:

“When pics of pint-size pugilist Oscar De La Hoya started circulating around the Web, we smelled a rat. Now De La Hoya’s agent at CAA, Jack Tiernan, confirms as much.”

So from what I understand those really are fake pics of Oscar de la Hoya and the fishnet, but man they look so real. Guess we’ll have to see the outcome of that in next few days.

note: X17online owns the copyright of the pictures and you can see all of them here.

There must have been a collective sigh of relief as O.J. Simpson was arrested and held without bail this weekend.   Simpson was taken into custody Sunday morning and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy and burglary. If convicted he could spend 30 years in prison.

The alleged incident took place in a hotel room in Las Vegas where Simpson claims he went to a prearranged meeting to retrieve some personal memorabilia that he says was stolen by a former sports manager.  While police say Simpson was not armed, 2 guns were retrieve that are believe to be related to the incident.

Simpson is being held without bail until a hearing scheduled for Thursday.

Victoria Beckham, formerly Posh Spice and currently married to soccer superstar David Beckham, doesn’t seem to have the media appeal she did in England.Slated to star in a mini-series about life as a Beckham and her move to The United States, her TV reality show has been pared down to a single 1 hour show. Critics are not only panning the show but are actively bashing it.

The New York Post gave the show a zero-star review, describing Mrs. Beckham as “relentlessly self-promoting” with “vapid, condescending behavior” in a show described as “an orgy of self-indulgence.”After a successful career in the 1990s with The Spice Girls, Beckham, nee Adams, launched a solo musical career and launched her high end dVb denim collection. Married to soccer superstar David Beckham since 1999, the couple has 3 children. David Beckham recently signed a 5 year contract with the Los Angles Galaxy which took effect July 1, 2007. He is slated to play his first game for the Galaxy on July 21, 2007.

John Amaechi, former NBA player, became the first openly gay male athlete to snag an endorsement deal with a mainstream company. Tapped to promote HeadBlade Inc, creators of head-shaving gear, Amaechi signed a multiyear deal for an undisclosed amount.In February, with the release of his memoir, “Man in the Middle”, which is on the New York Times Best Seller List, Amaechi became the first NBA player to acknowledge his homosexuality. It is well known that sport stars try to keep their sexual preference a secret to avoid losing potential endorsement deals.

Amaechi gained fame for scoring the first NBA points of the new millennium and for turning down a $17 millions contract offer from the L.A. Lakers in 2000 choosing instead to return to play for the Orlando Magic for $600,000 instead. He played for the Utah Jazz from 2001 - 2003 and then was traded to the Houston Rockets.

John Amaechi is also an official spokesperson for the Human Rights Coming Out Project.
