Springsteen’s Toothless Surfin’ USA

by The Editors on March 14, 2008

According to PR-inside.com:

Rocker BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN stunned his musician pal STEVEN VAN ZANDT when he took to the waves to show off his surfing skills – and knocked his front teeth out.

Hard to believe that’s possible. Leave it to the boss.

A Quiet Valentines For The Hawks

by The Editors on February 17, 2008

If you were the most recognizable skateboarder in the world where would you have Valentines Day dinner? A quiet, out-of-the-way restaurant? Nope. Maybe a romantic dinner at home? Wrong again. If you’re Tony Hawk you’d choose to have dinner at the most paparazzi stalked steak house in all of LA: STK. You know, because that’s where all the stars are having dinner.

Shaun White’s New Ride

by The Editors on February 12, 2008

Shaun-Whites-Lambo

Robust Flavor spy cam operators grabbed some shots of Shaun White’s new ride. It’s a Lamborghini Murcielago and here are the it’s stats:

It sports a 6.2 Liter version of the legendary Lamborghini V12 engine, a six-speed manual or six-speed sequential automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. It also has a rear spoiler that can be raised to an angle of 70 degrees, side mirrors that fold in to improve aerodynamics, and side scoops that automatically open to the needed size to let in just the right amount of air needed to cool its engine.

Kinda reminds us of something our favorite former NFL playing rap artist F-a-m to the o-u-z said: “just look at me now, I’m gettin’ it . . . on the Lambdy Lambo, as many bad bitches as a nigga can handle. . . ”

Tony Hawk on TMZ

by The Editors on February 10, 2008

Hawk-Vs-Stork

We’re glad Skate and Annoy is all over this Tony Hawk celebrity spotting stuff, otherwise we’d miss it completely. We especially like their comment “expecting his fourth child from his third wife.” We know what they meant.

Anyone Else Over “The Dingo?”

by The Editors on February 6, 2008

Riders-Poll-02 L

We guess all sports need a mascot, but it seems like The Dingo would get tired of being the mainstream media’s cartoon character idea of “what snowboarding is all about, right there.” Don’t get us wrong: he’s a great guy. Nice, cool, friendly, we’d never say anything bad about him, just let us know if you’re, you know, a little over the whole “Dingo” schtick.

Bleiler Knocks Off The Nudies

by The Editors on February 6, 2008

2669584Apparently, all those scantily clad images of Gretchen Bleiler from FHM and ESPN are a thing of the past as the high queen of the u-jump decides to stop listening to those people who kept trying to get her to sell her sex.

These days, Bleiler wants to show substance beyond skin, and the shift in attitude is the first signal that she has begun to transcend the sport.

“I feel like in the past I felt pressured to bring exposure to myself as well as my sport. I had those opportunities and maybe didn’t have the best advice and went along with it and never really felt like it was ‘me,’ ” she said. “But now I’ve come so far and am so much more confident in who I am and the path I need to follow, and I won’t be a part of those types of opportunities anymore.

“It’s cool, though. It shows that I have come a long way. It’s too bad that when you are a woman in sports that those are the opportunities you get, to show your skin. But it’s a fact of life, and I’ve learned about it along the way. It won’t happen again.”

Exactly. Thanks for taking the high road, Gretchen. Maybe some of the other girls will follow your lead.

0,,5873547,00After his last girlfriend Cheyenne “where the bloody hell are you” Tozzi ran off with American oil playboy Brandon Davis many in the Australian gossip scene thought Taj Burrow would never recover. He was reportedly beside himself with anger. “F . . ., I can’t even think straight. I’ve seen so many photos of her with that c . . .. I can’t get it out of my head,” Burrow ranted to surf mag Stab.

Luckily, he’s found “PR whiz” Sara Bray. It’s good to know Taj keeps those sets rolling in.
