Shot in the Wild

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Time for another addition of shot in the wild.

Captured for our pleasure the other night is the lovely Miami resident Anna Kournikova dining with Grass owner and perennial SoBe resident Laurent Bourgade. The tennis star was served at Table 8.

“Bye Bye Bye” Birdie…

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007
Chris Kirtpartick Golf 6-23-07

This weekend was the “Deutsche Bank Presents 3rd Annual DJ Irie Weekend - Golf Tournament.” First, the celebrities partied at Cameo on Friday, with the golf tournament Saturday morning. However, not all of the celebrities made it to the event. Lesley reveals:

Paparazzi and paying folk were livid when Jamie Foxx and Kevin Federline were no shows at the DJ Irie charity golf tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club Saturday afternoon. According to our spy, sponsors and product placement types were “very, very upset” by their absences.

Wow, I questioned earlier just how much Foxx was being paid to host the party at Cameo. I wonder how much the golf tournament was part of the deal?

One celebrity that did show up was former *NYSNC member Chris Kirkpatrick. I like the photo, it reminds me of old Jackie Gleason pics.

UPDATE: Alfonso Ribeiro made the rounds too.

Another story about a pro football player getting arrested…

Sunday, June 24th, 2007
Miami Dolphins defensive tackles Howard Green (left) and Fred Evans (right) run a blocking drill during a mini-camp practice session on June 10, 2006
Howard Green and Fred Evans 6-10-07

No, this isn’t a story about south Florida resident O.J. Simpson. Rather, Miami Dolphins defensive tackle, Fred Evans, 23. According to police reports, Evans was arrested in South Beach early Saturday after refusing to vacate his taxi. The six-foot-four, 305-pound player resisted arrest and police tasered him twice. TSN tells us that:

Evans was charged with multiple counts of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence, along with single counts of disorderly intoxication and trespassing.

Ah, the rich and self-entitled. What is it this summer with celebrities and their inability to hold their alcohol?

The Herald has more.

I Call It Soccer…

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

14250951451press672007111528PM.jpg
The 2007 CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) World Cup kicked off Wednesday with a doubleheader at the Orange Bowl. The picture to the right is of Guadeloupe’s Michael Tacalfred (left) and Haiti’s Peter Germain (4) in action between Guadeloupe and Haiti. The game ended in a 1 to 1 tie.

The rest of the world calls soccer football, but I can’t get used to that.
