Lenny Dykstra: Charlie Sheen is not as wild as he seems

July 25, 2014 By Larry Brown Leave a Comment

Charlie Sheen developed a reputation for being one of the wildest and craziest celebrities of the 21st century, but Lenny Dykstra says the actor’s public image does not reflect reality.

Nails was on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia as a guest during the All-Star Thursday show and talked about Sheen at one point. Nails was quick to set the record straight on the Hollywood bad boy.

“Charlie Sheen is a very, very good person. A generous … (the party reputation) is way overblown. Way overblown,” said Dykstra.

Dykstra then revealed his secret to judging people.

“The eyes tell everything. You can look at someone’s eyes and tell if they’re a weird, perverted dude. The guy is a rock-solid, cast-iron generous, great friend.

“The perception of him is waaayyyyy wrong.”

Well, if there’s anyone whose instincts we should trust, it’s a guy who went bankrupt, was convicted of fraud and money laundering, bounced a check to a prostitute, was accused of having housekeepers give him oral sex on Saturdays and a guy who was accused of sexually harassing a 17-year-old girl. When Lenny Dykstra speaks, you listen, because that guy knows what he’s talking about. And I’m sure Sheen appreciates the character endorsement from Nails.

Dan Bilzerian talks sex, guns, poker, Instagram fame in Howard Stern interview

July 23, 2014 By Larry Brown 2 Comments

Dan Bilzerian is living the life most people dream about. Check that: most peoples’ dreams probably wouldn’t compare to his lifestyle.

Bilzerian is a professional poker player who also is a venture capitalist and part-time actor. He’s gained fame over the past few years by posting pictures on Instagram of his surreal lifestyle, which includes partying with beautiful, half-naked women, firing guns, and traveling to exotic locations via private yachts and jets.

The 33-year-old, who estimates his net worth at around $100 million, was on “The Howard Stern Show” Tuesday to promote his role in the movie “The Equalizer,” which is due out in September.

But mostly they just talked about Bilzerian’s incredible life.

Bilzerian comes from a wealthy family — his father was once estimated to be worth $400 million and made his money as a corporate takeover guy following a successful run in the military and schooling at elite universities such as Stanford and Harvard business school. Bilzerian, like his father, did not finish high school and entered the military. He actually spent 510 days in Navy SEAL training before being kicked out two days before graduation.

The 510 days in SEAL training was spent over two stints. Bilzerian says the first stint did not go well because he entered with a stress fracture, and the second time he got a safety violation.

Because he moved around a lot in high school and was training so much with the SEALs, Bilzerian did not experience the sexual fun that he has now. And he’s more than made up for it since.

Chris Pratt challenged Dave Bautista to fight while on Ambien (Video)

July 23, 2014 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

Dave Bautista is a very, very large man. Chris Pratt isn’t exactly a small guy, but the actor would be squashed like a pesky insect if he ever went toe-to-toe with Bautista. That’s why the thought of Pratt challenging the 6-foot-6, 278-pound WWE star to a fight is hilarious.

During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to promote their upcoming movie “Guardians of the Galaxy,” Bautista and Pratt told a funny story about Pratt texting the six-time WWE champion and telling him he could take him.

“I get this text … Chris and I were both amateur wrestlers and I get this text one night … it’s the sweetest text in the world,” Bautista recalled. “He’s telling me how much he loves me and he says he’s so proud of me. He’s amazed I’m doing such a great job, and then the farther you go down … he’s calling me out in this text saying he thinks he could take me and he said nobody has to know!”

Pratt then explained that he had no recollection of sending the text because he was under the influence — of sleep medication.

“He came up to me and goes, ‘Chris, I want to talk to you about this text you sent last night,’ and I was like, ‘what text?’” Pratt said. “I had taken an Ambien the night before. It was like a drunk text.”

Bautista was obviously forgiving of the boneheaded challenge, otherwise Pratt would no longer be with us.

Christian Ponder named daughter after Bobby Bowden

July 22, 2014 By Steve DelVecchio Leave a Comment

Christian Ponder and his wife Samantha Steele welcomed their first child into the world over the weekend. The couple took the birth of their new daughter as an opportunity to pay tribute to a Florida State legend.

According to ESPN’s Ben Goessling, the Ponders named their little girl Bowden Saint-Claire. That’s Bowden as in Bobby Bowden, and that is indeed why Christian and Samantha chose the name.

Christian owes much of his success in life to Bowden. He was a star at Florida State and has been below average at best with the Minnesota Vikings. Had it not been for Bowden, Ponder probably would not have been drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. That means he would not have made as much money to this point and maybe he would not have even had a chance to meet his future wife.

Congratulations to Christian and Sam on the newest edition to their family.

Katherine Webb and her bikini enjoyed their honeymoon

July 21, 2014 By Steve DelVecchio 1 Comment

Katherine Webb doesn’t post photos on Instagram all that often. We wish she would, and the photo she posted from her honeymoon on Sunday reminded us why.

Webb, who married Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron last weekend, felt the need to post a quick selfie to thank Sports Illustrated for her new leopard print bikini.

“Thank you @siswim! Loved wearing it on my honeymoon,” she wrote.

For some reason, it feels like we should be the ones saying thank you. Doesn’t it seem like those breakup rumors were years ago? The internet really knows how to toy with our emotions.

Husband sends wife angry email with sex frequency spreadsheet

July 19, 2014 By Larry Brown 4 Comments

A frustrated woman posted about her marital problems in a thread on the relationships section of Reddit Friday, and her post went viral.

The woman says her husband sent her an email Thursday complaining about the lack of sex in their relationship, saying that’s the reason he wouldn’t miss her while she was away on a trip. As part of the email, he attached a spreadsheet detailing all the attempts he made to initiate sex and the reasons why he was rebuffed by his wife.

The woman, known on Reddit as throwwwwaway29, posted her explanation of the situation on this thread. Here’s what she says happened:

Yesterday morning, while in a taxi on the way to the airport, Husband sends a message to my work email which is connected to my phone. He’s never done this, we always communicate in person or by text. I open it up, and it’s a sarcastic diatribe basically saying he won’t miss me for the 10 days I’m gone. Attached is a SPREADSHEET of all the times he has tried to initiate sex since June 1st, with a column for my “excuses”, using verbatim quotes of why I didn’t feel like having sex at that very moment. According to his ‘document’, we’ve only had sex 3 times in the last 7 weeks, out of 27 “attempts” on his part.

While withholding sex from a spouse for a lengthy period of time is a relationship-breaker where I come from, keeping track of the lack of sex in a spreadsheet only to throw it back in the spouse’s face is an all-time loser move. This is the same guy who probably prepares for his fantasy football draft 8 months in advance and complains to the commissioner about every trade being unfair.

Instead of running to your lack-of-sex diary anytime your wife denies you in bed, why not spend that energy trying to figure out what you can do to make the sex happen?

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 reportedly shot down

July 17, 2014 By Steve DelVecchio 1 Comment

Another tragedy has struck the families of passengers flying on Malaysia Airlines. A flight that was en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam has crashed in eastern Ukraine, according to various major media outlets. The Boeing 777 had 295 passengers and crew on board.

Malaysia Arilines tweeted on Thursday morning that it had lost contact with flight MH17, with its last position being in Ukrainian airspace. Shortly thereafter, reports surfaced indicating the plane had crashed near the border between Russia and Ukraine.

Multiple reports indicate that the jet was shot down, though that has not been confirmed by Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. The plane is said to have been hit by a Ukrainian missile while flying at its cruising altitude of 33,000 feet. All of the passengers and crew that were on board are believed to be dead.

Tensions have increased between the Ukraine and Russia in recent months. On Wednesday, a Russian military plane shot down a Ukrainian fighter jet in Ukrainian air space.

Thursday’s Malaysian Airlines flight crash comes roughly four months after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared somewhere over the Indian Ocean.
