Bob Kraft's Girlfriend Didn't Get The Part In That Movie, Despite Her Weird Bikini Audition
It's important to remind everyone that Ricki Lander's audition for The Internship did not require a bikini, nor playing off a 71-year-old man, but she thought it would better her chances to include both.

English Soccer Having Another Dumb Racist Twitter Thing
When a student was jailed for racist tweets directed at Fabrice Muamba, it was an opportunity to discuss the British justice system and the perils of online anonymity.

The Patriots Want Rob Gronkowski To Stop Being Rob Gronkowski
From the moment he hit the dance floor in the hours after the Super Bowl, we've loved everything about Rob Gronkowski's offseason. The last five months have been such a sweaty blur of shirtlessness and beer-stained Zubaz, we never really gave much thought to how The Gronk Show was being received by ...

The Day Britain Finally Learned To Love Andy Murray For Andy Murray
British tennis fans are kind of awful, and I say this as a British tennis fan.

Surprise, England: The Racist Was You All Along!
Boy, we all got psyched for some old-fashioned Eastern European racism, didn't we?
