What better soundtrack to this day of American independence, endurance cycling, competitive eating, and Serena’s big booty dominating in London than Queen’s 1978 classics: Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls. If you’ve been afraid to publicly profess your love of Queen for fear of your friends questioning your sexuality, tomorrow is your day to bump some classic Freddy Mercury. It’s perfect for a bbq, listening to in the car on your road trip, or whatever it is you’ll be doing this 4th of July.

Fresh off his hook up with Paris Hilton, Cristiano Ronaldo returned back to Portugal to spend time with his family. As they were headed out something fairly intriguing happened as a young “fan” was sitting in a car waiting for the Real Madrid star. The Daily Mail reports:

“Ronaldo was heading to an Elton John concert in the Portuguese capital with his mum Dolores Aveiro, 54, sisters Elma and Catia, and a group of friends.

The star claims the girl was with a photographer who had been stalking him, ’standing for days on end in front of my house, eating yogurt and waiting for anything newsworthy to happen.’

He says the photographer and the girl had followed him to his house from the Ritz Hotel.

When he spotted the girl filming him, he leapt out of his £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in a rage and kicked the car.

Cristiano Ronaldo smashed a car window as he lashed out in fury at a teenage girl videoing him in the street.

The 24-year-old former Manchester United star kicked the window sending shards of glass into 17-year-old student Sara Pardal.

The teenager reportedly told police she was sat in the car outside Ronaldo’s Lisbon apartment because she is a fan and wanted an autograph.”

Whether she was a part of the paparazzi or not you have to learn to control your aggression. How are you going to attack a young girl like that, especially in front of your mom?

I’ve never been to a Nascar event, nor do I know what seats are considered good. But, if it were me, I would stay as far away from the track as possible. People on hard drugs probably aren’t the best drivers. And they think spiders are crawling on them all the time.

In fact, the average listee earned $1.5 million dollars less this past year than he or she did in 2007.  In fact, the average income was JUST $23.6 mil for the 50 athletes included.

Tiger and Phil are numbers 1 and 2. (Some things never change.) The list includes 22 basketball players, 14 baseball players, nine NFL’ers, three golfers and a pair of Nascar drivers.

Frank Lampard is taking every chance to enjoy himself before the start of the new soccer season in six weeks. By that I mean he is doing what I want to be doing by ogling hot chicks and gambling the night away at the Wynn. The Sun even reports that Frank went on a tear at the tables.

“Soccer ace Frank Lampard has won a whopping £300,000 on holiday in Las Vegas.

The Chelsea star’s luck came in one night of playing roulette and blackjack.

A source joked: “This will pay for his trip.”

Why do these types of things never happen to me? Hopefully tomorrow we can have some of Lamps luck as Toph, Big G, and I put in a quick session at the tables before we cause havoc at the Jersey shore.

While everyone is making a big fuss over Chris Brown getting the boot from his performance at Sunday’s BET Awards, I want to focus on a certain Barbados beauty. Looks like she chose to hang out with a certain NBA player instead of attending the show.

“Rihanna’s absence from the event was just as noticeable as Brown’s. But while her ex fumed, the “Umbrella” singer was busy hanging out with her crush, Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis, in NYC. Says a rep for the beauty, “Rihanna was never meant to attend [the BET awards].”

Some guys just have all the luck. WTF was I doing Sunday? Probably watching “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.”

Apparently Enrique Inglesias’ girlfriend mixed it up with some female partygoers in Sin City over the weekend. As Page Six tells us:

“Anna Kournikova got into a fight Saturday night in Las Vegas after an unidentified woman threw a drink at the tennis ace. Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table “threw a drink at Anna. She felt Anna was invading her space,” our source said. Kournikova “sprung into action” and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. “It was a big fight,” the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck.”

Girls can be so petty. Although it seems that Anna got the worst of it, one thing I heave learned in life is to not mess with the Russians. They are some ruthless mothertruckers. (Especially when it comes to money)

BTW, hopefully someone caught this on video. I would love to see some hair whipping around.

Blake Griffin and Ricky Rubio decided to celebrate their newfound pro status differently Thursday night. According to Page Six:

“Financier Jonathan Blue, chairman of Best sports agency, took Rubio and other draftees Earl Clark and Jrue Holiday to Buddakan for dinner. “Ricky looked like a CEO himself,” our witness noted. Later, Rubio was spotted at M2 lounge on West 28th Street, where he was “sipping water and chatting with [R&B songstress] Brandy.” But Rubio’s fellow draft pick, Blake Griffin, left the club after bouncers told the 20-year-old he would not be served alcohol.”

Guess being picked number 1 entitles you to a lot of things. Apparently having a few cocktails at a NYC nightclub isn’t one of them.
