Pam Shriver Asked To Pay Up For Poor Taste In Men

George Lazenby and Pam Shiver Is it Pam Shriver’s fault that she is so rich that it makes her estranged husband feel bad, and that his kids don’t take him seriously?

Though it’s been almost a year now, Shriver’s divorce case from her estranged husband still hasn’t been resolved yet. According to documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, 70 year old George Lazenby is now challenging a prenup agreement he signed before marrying the 46 year old Shriver, and asking the judge to award him $16,133 a month in spousal support.

Lazenby claims is that Shriver is “30 times a millionaire” and he doesn’t want to explain to their three young children why their mother has such a larger pair house than their father.

Andy Murray recently got a little border terrier and it appears that the pocket pooch has revealed some “issues” since moving in with the Scot and his girlfriend Kim Sears.

Maggie’s already been having “bladder issues” all over Murray’s new £5M home. Another time she got stung by a wasp (no word on who was bigger).

Now the poor thing has started eating rocks.

The “As Seen On TV” gold meltdown factory Cash4Gold that solicits bags of your unused jewelry and coins in exchange for a bit of cold hard quick cash is looking to melt down some Wimbledon trophies.

The company, who had formerly hired the now-deceased Ed McMahon and MC Hammer to star in a spot for last year’s Super Bowl, put forth an invitation today hoping Roger Federer and Serena Williams were hard-up or tasteless enough to appear in the next Cash4Gold commercial.

Or at the very least, to get an appraisal of their Wimbledon trophies.

Andy Murray the UK's Incredible Hulk

Mania for Andy Murray has reached epic proportions in the UK. Not only did the BBC scored unbelievable ratings for his fourth round match last night, but people were already queuing up to snatch tickets to his next match before that one had finished on Centre Court.

Nearly 13 million people tuned into BBC1 last night, as the network cleared its usual prime-time line-up to air the almost four-hour fourth-round victory over Stan Wawrinka live under Centre Court’s closed roof.

Reporters Should Maybe Sorta Stop Twitter-Stalking Tennis Players

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/i9uIC)
roddick's wimbledon tweets

The early-round tournament entertainment has really spilled offline. Andy Roddick, who took out Igor Kunitsyn in his second round match today, had to answer a slew of questions about Rick Astley.

Later, Roddick Tweeted (or in his case, Twatted) about how he feels like he’s now ‘answering more questions about Twitter than about tennis’.

That’s cuz they’re stalking you, homefry.

Like this dude points out, the media covering Wimbledon so completely lacks originality that they seem to have nothing else to talk the tennis players about.

Andy Murray Picks Right Before Wimbledon To Move

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/dvzJa)
andy murray's new house

Andy Murray’s been house hunting in London for a while, and he finally bought something.

For whatever bizarre reason he’s picked the days just before Wimbledon to move into his new crib.

Granted, it was like Britain’s golden boy was dragging a couch down a four-story walk-up with some buddies on the promise of beer and pizza, but you have to admit that the dude has timing cajones.

Murray’s moved out of his sparsely furnished riverside apartment and is moving on up in style and in with his girlfriend Kim Sears, who’s been assigned the task of organizing while he’s out hitting yellow flannels.

The new digs are nothing to scoff at. It’s an 11,000 sq ft new gated family house that was just finished this winter. It features seven reception areas; the master bedroom suite comes complete with his and hers dressing areas, seating/TV area, a Juliette balcony. There are five further double bedrooms, six bathrooms, a nanny suite ((cough)), an indoor swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna, and a gymnasium that overlooks the pool, a library and a movie theater.

This is big step up for the 21 year old Muzzah. The junk the movers pulled out of his apartment included “a huge cuddly toy versions of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore, a Space Invaders arcade machine, several PlayStations and a Team GB bag”.

If you think you should pop in to see Kim and Andy for tea or stalking, be aware that it’s rigged with a state-of-the-art security system, featuring video entry. Fortunately the police are used to coming by.

So how does Andy Murray get ready for Wimbledon? By moving house, of course [Daily Mail]
