Julia Mancuso & Lindsey Vonn Heat Things Up Off The Slopes!

On Wednesday Julia Mancuso finished runner-up to U.S. teammate Lindsey Vonn in the women's Olympic downhill, but as the competition heated up on the slopes, there is great competition off the slopes. Mancuso has her own lingerie line called " Kiss My Tiara," a play off that fact Mancuso wears one for good luck - including her fans.

As the Washington Post reported,

The tiara tradition began at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, when she was given one as a gag gift from a coach. It was a reference to her being the "princess" of the team.

Mancuso, who won gold in the giant slalom that year, has had fun with it, creating a business called "Kiss My Tiara" that sells a line of lingerie.

We can only guess this Silver Medal win will help business.

But not to be outdone Gold Medalist Lindsey Vonn also shed her clothes before the Olympics choosing a swimsuit instead of lingerie. The 25 year-old skier along with fellow Olympians, Clair Bidez, Lacy Schnoor, and Hannah Teter posed for the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (on newsstands now.)

One can only wonder what the next four years will bring for these two on and OFF the slopes, literally! Whatever it is - we're sure USA will have fun cheering them on!

Maria Sharapova At New York's Fashion Week

There's no real story here but we had to run with this photo of Maria Sharapova backstage at Herve Leger Spring 2009 Fashion Show on September 7th. The show was part of New York's Fashion Week.

We're assuming the guy with her is Herve Leger and not a Danny Divito impersonator.

Carrie Underwood Smitten With Michael Phelps

Apparently Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice didn't do it for Michael Phelps. Once out of Beijing it was back to the good ol' US of A and ready to work his butterfly magic on Hollywood's hotness.

Michael heard through sources that Carrie Underwood thought Michael was, "cute." The two have been texting each other quiet a bit and are planning a "secret" date soon.

A close friend of Carrie Underwood told the National Enquirer,

“Carrie needs someone who is going to stick by her, she was devastated when her relationship with Tony Romo broke. The last thing she needs is a relationship with another high-profile celebrity who’s going to end up loving and leaving her.”

An Amore editor attended a fund raiser in 2006 in which Carrie Underwood snubbed a small group of early teen girls who wanted her autograph in the lobby of the hotel where the event was taking place by walking past them and continuing to the elevators.

Seems like what goes around comes around for Carrie in reference to Romo.

This is how we do it in America- President Bush wanted to stress at this year's Summer Olympics Aren't we so fortunate to have such a great President?! Sense sarcasm? Maybe this is why other counties hate us?!

Just a little more then 5 months left. You know you're gonna miss this guy!

Tom Brady On Cover Of Esquire; Stipulations Involved

Tom Brady graces the cover of Esquire's September issue. Before you rush out and buy the issue don't expect to get any details of his romance with supermodel Gisele Bundchen, or ex Bridget Moynahan, and their 1-year-old son. The only way Brady agreed to the cover and story was that all above not be included.

However, he does talk about God saying,

“Look at the attention I get: It’s because I throw a football. But that’s what society values. That’s not what God values, he didn’t invent the game. We did. I have some eye-hand coordination, and I can throw the ball. I don’t think that matters to God.”
