Paulie is never going to be a knockout threat but he's wi...
Romo and the Simpsons Go South of the Border
The hand you see in the picture belongs to Jessica Simpson and the ass is that of the uber Cowboy, Tony Romo.

Oh Gosh Todd, You Shouldn't Have Said That
Male cheerleaders have their place in life, we suppose. Who else can we mock mercilessly and string up by the heels from flagpoles? I mean, who else who can't fight back?
