I still can’t get over the fact that Allen Thicke’s kid is a singer/songwriter/producer, but I’m sure that you are. So instead of talking about his dad, here is one of Robin Thicke’s songs sung by Guy Sebastian of Australian Idol! I am nearly convinced that every country with locally produced television has an ‘Idol’. Thicke has also produced and co-written with Sebastian.

Before the election Young Jeezy said, “I represent the Democratic party. … I’ve never been nor do I ever plan to be a John McCain supporter.” Which sounds a lot like “I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the Communist Party.” In a word, hilarious. After the election he also angered Bill O’Reilly, again hilarious.

Tennis and Olympics

Serena Williams has officially been disciplined for the incident below:

She has been fined $82,500, half to be paid right away, while the rest will be paid out during the 24 months of her probation. Should Serena have another incident in the next two years she will face suspension from the US Open.

Also in tennis, Marat Safin has decided to retire as an elderly 29 years old. If you didn’t know Safin is hilarious, he is estimated to have  broken 48 rackets in 1999 and as of 2005 he said he had broken about 300. He is also somewhat famous of weird challenges.

The N.H.L. is thinking about scrapping its support of its players participating in the 2014 Winter Olympics. It seems the N.H.L. commissioner, Gary Bettman, does not believe that the Olympic coverage of hockey will be enough to warrant the disruption of the season. Understandably, Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins are not pleased that the league is reconsidering its participation in the games. Ovechkin has said in an ESPN interview, “Nobody can say to me, ‘You can’t play for your country in the Olympic Games.’ If somebody says to me, ‘You can’t play,’ see ya.” In another interview, Malkin stated“I completely agree with Alex. I would rather pay fines and still go.” Additionally, Ovechkin has been named the official ambassador of the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia.

According to a New York Times article, “The N.H.L. Players’ Association has strongly endorsed Olympic participation, and the issue could become a sticking point in negotiations over the next collective bargaining agreement. The current agreement expires in 2011.”

The article goes on to say, “Aside from concerns about the interruption of the N.H.L. schedule, the league might also be reluctant to commit to Sochi because of its dispute with the Russian Kontinental Hockey League over player signings, transfer fees and control of the potentially lucrative European market.

“None of that should matter, because these are the Olympics, and the best players in the world should be playing in them,” Alexander Medvedev, president of the K.H.L., said in a telephone interview. “For people to speculate about keeping the best players out, it’s destroying the Olympics and it’s hurting the growth of hockey.””
