We Are The World is back
Saturday, February 13th, 2010 | General | No Comments
So after 25 years they did a remake of We Are The World, and all of the Hollywood crazies showed up. I was very surprised at some of the people they asked to be in the song, Justin Bieber? No one is going to know who this kid is in 2 years, but I really don’t care that much. I think the original one was way better. Check out everyone yelling below.
Lindsey Vonn – Olympic Hopeful Battling Leg Injury & Critics
Saturday, February 13th, 2010 | Olympics Vancouver, Sports, Winter Olympics | 1 Comment
It has been an eventful few weeks for woman’s Olympic skiing hopeful Lindsey Vonn.
First Vonn took heat for her “risque” pose on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Olympics preview issue 3 weeks ago. Take a look above and judge for yourself?! Considering Vonn is in that position for about 75% of the time that she’s flying down the mountain on her runs, I find it hard to believe that liberal women’s groups are really suggesting that the pose is rude, offensive and sexist. Come on – get your minds’ out of the gutters and take a look at what she does on the snow that makes her so special. When you also consider that only 4% of SI covers have featured woman over the last 50 years, women all across the world should be thrilled that SI decided to feature Vonn on the cover of the Olympics preview instead of Bode Miller or a bad player form the US men’s hockey team.
Second, Vonn took heat for posing in SI’s 2010 swimsuit issue that just hit newsstands last week.
Now, Vonn is dealing with a bruised shin that is extremely sensitive, even to walk. She injured the shin during her Olympics training, but just disclosed the injury this week. Vonn has used painkillers and numbing cream to try to dull the pain as much as possible, and she did finally ski down the mountain on a free run on Thursday. Vonn said it was still sore, but that she would be able to participate in training sessions scheduled for Thursday and Friday. Steady rains have canceled those sessions, however, so it is unclear how often she will be able to test her leg leading up to he 1st official race on Sunday.
Vonn is considered the favorite to win the Gold in the downhill and Super-G and should be able to snag 1 or 2 other medals along the way. But the injury has thrown a wrench into those hopes.
We’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear anything further on Vonn’s injury and the Olympics skiing schedule given the rainy weather. Let’s hope Vonn can perform at a high level despite the injury and the pain so that she can bring home a few Golds for the United States!
