CELEBRITIES AT 2011 KENTUCKY DERBY

Dialed In

Ah! The one day a year I actually care about Sports. This year marks the 137th edition of the Kentucky Derby, held annually at Kentucky's historic Churchill Downs.  The Race run the first Saturday every May, often is a precursor to championship honours for three year-old horses. And the Celebrities are out in full force partying-it-up.

At last night's Brownstable Brown Gala, some familiar names came out to partake in the festivities and seen were the likes of Bill Paxton, Carson Kressley, Maria Menunos, Niki Taylor, Kate Gosselin, Ian Somerhalder, among others.

Gosselin, who admits not to being a Gambler was seen telling Cameras "I had to bet. I just had to!".  This came after spending a day at Churchill Downs watching the Kentucky Oaks, the female version of the Derby held one day before the main event itself.  Meanwhile, Menunos Tweeted her picks for the Derby and she had three horses in mind, "Pants on Fire, Dialed In and Midnight Interlude". Somerhalder on the other hand is rooting for long-shot Animal Kingdom.

Not so coincidentally, The Village People are all rooting for Mucho Macho Man, one of the top Contenders this year who is trained by a female Trainer named Kathy Ritzvo.  Also supporting the Horse are Carson Daly and Christy Turlington.

Expected to be at the Track today watching the race are the likes of Jordin Sparks, Martha Stewart, Miranda Lambert, Nick Lachey, Chris Meloni and more!

BARBARA WALTERS' TEN MOST FASCINATING PERSONALITIES OF 2009

I don't watch much television, but on Wednesday nights I am sure to put aside the gym, light some candles, pop open a bottle of wine, cuddle on the couch with my dog Billy and enjoy a hot little hook-up named Glee. During a commercial break, I realized that Barbara Walters would be revealing her annual Ten Most Fascinating Personalities on ABC. I am always curious to see whom she picks and her eclectic 2009 list includes:

10. Lady Gaga - pop's new megastar; it turns out she's not a hermaphrodite (!) and that she enjoys sex with women. Out of respect, she took her sunglasses off for Walters.

9. Jenny Sanford - wife of adulterous South Carolina governor
8. Tyler Perry - director, actor, producer and cross-dresser who overcame an abusive childhood
7. Glenn Beck - Fox News' outspoken television personality
6. Brett Favre - recently retired and then not retired NFL star
5. Kate Gosselin - recently divorced mother of eight and reality television star
4. Adam Lambert - openly gay American Idol runner-up
3. Sarah Palin - former U.S. Vice Presidential candidate and now sexy author; her second time appearing on the list.
2. Michael Jackson’s Children - Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II ...the world is watching more closely than ever
1. Michelle Obama - American First Lady and trash television lover

Below are some pics taken before the Halloween festivities down in The Village here in Toronto. My good friend Habeyah and I decided to dress up as famed reality television couple Jon and Kate Gosselin of Jon & Kate Plus 8. We were a hit amongst the lesbian and seniors demographic. Cheers to that!
