NO VIEWING PARTY, NO FUN


The Lakers have been hosting viewing parties at Staples Center for the away games during the Finals where they play the game on the Jumba Tron. It beats being squished between beer-bellied bar regulars at Barney's Beanery. I was planning to go to watch Game 6 there and write a story about it, but the viewing party has been canceled due to security concerns. Apparently there was a brawl or two at Game 2 between some Celtics and Lakers fans and now the Lakers are calling the whole thing off. Here's what the Lakers PR said:

"After meeting with law enforcement and city representatives, we have agreed to not open STAPLES Center for a public showing of any upcoming playoff games from Boston. Because of concerns for resources needed to ensure the safety of fans throughout Los Angeles on nights when the games would be played as well as potential financial burdens on various City departments, we came to this decision. On behalf of the Los Angeles Lakers, we encourage all of our fans to enjoy the upcoming games with friends and family and celebrate the championship run in a safe, responsible and respectful manner."

Fights break out all the time at games and the brawlers are quickly kicked out. Games don't get canceled. This is Los Angeles, folks. This is a city that films movies on the streets of Hollywood, hosts rock concerts, red carpet soirées and events on an hourly basis. If any city can handle safety at large events, it's L.A. Has L.A. become too stingy? Will more events in Hollywood be canceled because L.A. doesn't want to foot the bill for security?

What a disappointment. I would understand if they canceled the viewing party because nobody was showing up, but they've had a strong turnout. Are they saying the L.A. police department can't handle the security? Law enforcement has handled events with ten times as many people. Perhaps they didn't want to secure the event because they couldn't get any police officers to work tonight. Don't be surprised if you see a few cops at Barney's Beanery checking out the game.

DODGERS GET A STAR!



On Friday, the Dodgers will get their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Following in the footsteps of Michael Jackson, the Olsen Twins, Bob Hope, Will Smith, Ricky Martin and countless other celebs who have bought - I mean earned - their star on Tinsel Town's infamous, tourist flooded street, Hollywood Blvd.

The Dodgers are the first sports organization to receive a star, which is a huge deal! Stars on the Walk of Fame are legendary. The Lakers don't have one. The Angeles don't have one (well, I still consider them the Anaheim Angeles anyways being from the OC and all). The Dodgers decided this would be a perfect way to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. I'm still curious to see what logo they'll get on their star since there's never been a sports team. There's the actor logo, the radio logo, the music logo, the directing logo ...

Does this mean we should expect other sports teams to follow? Perhaps. I'll be there at the ceremony on Friday along with manager Joe Torre, Vin Scully (who I just heard speak this weekend with John Wooden. I love them. Great guys) and Jaime Jarrin. Let's just hope they get a good spot on the Walk. Once you get too far East on Hollywood Blvd., you hit the clubs. And when you hit the clubs that means lots of drunk scenesters will be stepping (occasionally peeing) on your star at 3am. Show some respect to the legends.

THE SASHA SONGS



I realized today that I was never able to post the Sasha Vujacic makeup song for you all to listen to. It's amazing. Basically, ESPN 710 radio's Dave Dameshek show wrote a song about Sasha, he didn't like it. I wrote about how he didn't like it. It became a huge on-going joke and the radio show wrote two songs to makeup for it. This is because the Dameshek crew is amazing.

In this tribute, I even get a shout out! It's Sasha's makeup song to Beautiful.

This is the second song, to Beat It. This is where Sasha becomes a verb. To make a nice 3-point shot is to Vujacic it, Vujacic it good.

COULD'A SHOULD'A WOULD'A DONE THIS YESTERDAY



Tiger's win today may go down as his greatest victory yet.

They had to go to the 19th hole in sudden death, but why not have just done that yesterday like I suggested? I still like my add another hole like you add another inning theory (also known as sudden death apparently), because nobody was able to watch the match today anyways unless they were actually at Torrey Pines. What a waste of a good showdown! Sure, we all watched the Sports Center clips but where was the actual broadcasting of the match? I couldn't find it all morning!

(Editors update: Ok, so apparently they showed it on a cable channel Monday morning.)

Other things that makes no sense in the world of sports:



-Why is it that Olympic men's soccer is the only sport that has weird rules that basically guarantees the best players will not be competing (besides a few exceptions in the past like Ronaldo). They have to be under 23 but the team can have three guys who are older than 23. Why just a couple? I don't get it. Basketball doesn't do that. Women's soccer doesn't do that. Swimming doesn't do that. The under 23 rules has been in effect since 1992. Apparently some rule makers don't want the Olympics to interfere with the World Cup, but isn't the Olympics suppose to be the competition of all competitions? No wonder basketball athletes don't take the Olympics seriously.



-Why is it that in the NBA, the schedule is different for the Playoffs and the Finals? In the NBA, teams play 2-2-1-1-1 in the Playoffs but in the Finals they play 2-3-2. For example, in the best of seven series in the Playoffs, they'll play two games at home, then two games on the road, then a game a home, a game on the road and then a game at home (if the series goes that far). So why are the Finals are different? Why are the Finals two games at home, three games on the road and then two games at home (or visa-versa)? Why not just be consistent with the Playoffs and the Finals? I have yet to find an explanation to this inconsistency that makes sense. I get that traveling is a pain, but pick a way that works and stick to it! I don't have a strong opinion about which way I prefer, but I do believe that rules should be consistent throughout the Playoffs and the Finals. It's like the rule makers couldn't make a decision and this was the compromise. Stupid.

BABIES AND BASHES

STAYIN' ALIVE, AH HA HA HA


Smile for now, but pray for Tuesday.

Instead of playing Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." as they usually do after a win, they should have played "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. The Lakers barely hung on to beat the Celtics 103-98 in Game 5 of the series, which Boston now leads 3-2. Before the Finals started I picked Lakers in 6. I'd like to scratch that and pick Celtics in 6. Not that I want them to win but I have a hard time believing the Lakers can win two games on the road. They have yet to play consistent for an entire game in the series, they aren't aggressive enough, they've blown huge leads in the last two games at home and now they're heading to Boston, one of the toughest stadiums to play in.

While I would rather be at the game, the good thing about being at home is that I get to watch the halftime reports, which included an emotional chat between Bill Walton and Luke Walton, who spent much of his childhood hanging around the Celtics and Larry Bird. During the talk Bill told Luke he wanted his son to win the Finals but was actually picking Boston to win. Harsh. But honest - just like a dad should be.


Also Stayin' Alive today was Tiger Woods at the U.S. Open. His performance was insane. Tiger has the same mental toughness as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. And while people get on Kobe for screaming at the refs and getting upset in a game, Tiger threw his golf clubs not once but twice on that last hole. But no one says anything because it's everyone's favorite guy, Tiger Woods. Athletes like Tiger and Kobe get frustrated because they care. When they stop throwing clubs or getting pissed off at a bad call, we should worry. It's like when Carlos Zambrano threw a tantrum in the dugout at Dodgers stadium last week and was hurling jugs of Gatorade around after he gave up a homerun and was taken out of the game. After the Cubs lost, Lou Piniella says, "I’d rather have a guy that gets upset than a guy who does it with a smile like he doesn’t care. So truthfully? No, I don’t have a problem with it."

Also, I think that instead of having Tiger and Rocco Mediate play an entire 18-hole round on Monday, they should just add another hole to the round today. It's like stopping after nine innings in baseball if the game is tied and saying, "Oh, we'll just play another game tomorrow." No! Just add another hole like you add another inning to a baseball game. Just my thoughts ... Happy Father's Day!


QUOTE OF THE GAME


"The Celtics have them right where they want them."

-Announcer right after Lamar Odom makes a 2-point shot to bring the Lakers lead to 31-15 in the first quarter as the Celtics take a 20 sec timeout.

THE FAST LANE IS BACK!


Did you miss me? I missed the Fast Lane. I missed it like crazy. But I'm back. I was sitting at home watching the Lakers-Celtics game - yes, I am stuck at home and not at Staples Center - and I heard the announcer say an amazing quote after Doc Rivers took a timeout in the first quarter and I thought, "Oh my god, did anyone else just catch that? That is so going on the blog." And at that point, I ran upstairs, grabbed my computer and within minutes the blog was back.

Why did I take down this blog you ask? Oh, for many reasons. It would be too weird to not address things at all. "Tutu-gate" pretty much explains it; a term I've heard used. I won't say much more. I will say that it's pretty bizarre how much attention this little blog I started got. I mean, honestly, who would have thought? Perez Hilton, USA Today, US Weekly, the LA Times, Dead Spin, LA Observed ... crazy, right?

I'm not doing any huge announcement. I'm just back. I was going to start from scratch but I had all of my posts saved in cyber space and some of the stories were just too good to delete forever. Who knows how long I'll keep writing the blog. I just want my friends that enjoyed this before to enjoy it again. Lucky for me, stories have a very short shelf life. Two and a half weeks seems like more than enough time in a town where Lindsay Lohan shopping for groceries will make headlines. Laura Lane who?

You'll notice a few things different. A few blogs are missing from the archive, but I promise not too many.

Oh, and one more thing ...

I'm moving to New York.

LOVE YA, BRO

"I need to buy new shirts. I've been working out a lot and now all my shirts are tight. It's these big muscles - or maybe I just leave my shirts in the dryer too long."
-my little bro

THAT CUTE KID FROM JERRY MAGUIRE



Remember that adorable little kid from Jerry Maguire? The one that says, “Did you know the human head weighs 8 pounds?” Well he’s all grown up! Jonathan Lipnicki is 17 years-old and is graduating high school soon. Being a huge Jerry Maguire fan, I couldn’t wait to chat with him. We talked about filming Jerry Maguire, getting made fun of in school and how Tom Cruise didn't try to convert him to Scientology (hard to believe, right?).

How often do you get called, “The cute little kid from Jerry Maguire?”

It’s happened less and less in recent years and that’s kind of why I’ve stayed out of (the spot light) a little. I want to do this for the rest of my life and I don’t want to be known as one character. Yeah I’m really thankful for Jerry Maguire and Stuart Little and all those movies. It was a great start but it’s not a great end.

Does it bother you when people say that?

No, I mean I get it so much at school anyways. My friends used to make jokes. I used to play water polo for three years in high school and there was a dead mouse sitting outside the pool once and I walk by and they’re like, “Johnny, it’s Stuart Little!” Stuff like that all the time.

When is the last time you saw Tom Cruise or Rene Zellweger?

The last time I saw Tom Cruise was the War of the Worlds premiere but he’s always been a great guy to me and I appreciate everything he’s taught me.

Did you guys stay in touch after the movie?

Yeah, we did. He’s one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met. Everyone asks me, “Is he weird?” No, not really. He’s just a very excited person and he’s really happy about everything. Honestly, if I were that happy I would like to show people that too.

Did he try to convert you to Scientology?

Not at all. He loved that I was Jewish. He sent me a very nice letter on my Bar Mitzvah. “Mazel Tov, Jonathan. This is great that you’re becoming a man.” He’s always respected my religion and never said anything to me about Scientology.

What is your favorite memory from Jerry Maguire and how did you memorize all of those lines when you were so young?

Well I couldn’t read until I was like six or seven and I was five. And so my mom would read them to me and I would have to memorize them all. I have to say my favorite memory from the whole thing is just me and Tom had a lot of fun. I’d always talk about Top Gun with him because I loved Top Gun. It was my favorite movie at the time. He was just really great. I can see why he’s such a great dad.

Did you realize when you were that little how big a part this was?

My parents never really put that pressure on me because they were really cool but other people would let me know. “Oh, Tom Cruise! You know you’re working with him? How is that?” It didn’t really faze me. It was Tom. It was just a great guy I was hanging out with. That scene where I cry in the movie, sometimes they say to little kids, “Pretend your dog died.” All they had to say to me was, “Pretend you never saw Tom again.” And that made me sad enough.

IS DEREK JINXED?


Derek Fisher went 0-1 behind the 3-point line in yesterday's loss to the Spurs. He's convinced that he's jinxed. Here's what he said to me after Game 2 in L.A.:

“I still haven’t shot a 3-point shot in the series. I’m a little concerned I’ve been jinxed from behind the 3-point line after everybody’s told me all this great stuff about how good I shoot 3’s. We’ll see what happens the rest of the way. It’s there, but the Spurs don’t really double team a lot so you don’t really get a lot of good open 3-point shots against this team."

How to break the Derek Fisher 3-point jinx?

KOBE IS IMMORTAL

Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player of our time. He is also the craziest (crazy in an awesome way). This is a video he shot with the crew from Jackass. This is why he is so amazing. He looks like he's never had more fun in his life in this video (besides when he won his MVP award, of course). He slam dunks the ball at the end of this clip while jumping over a pool of snakes. Don't believe it? Watch for yourself.



You might have already seen the one where he jumps over an Aston Martin but is it possible to watch it too many times?

POLITICAL MAKEOVERS




Christian Siriano is my hero. He is just as hilarious in person as he was on Project Runway. Not only are his designs incredible but he also has a huge celebrity following that includes everyone from Victoria Beckham to Whoppi Goldberg, who he dressing at the Tony awards. I met up with him at a Declare Yourself event and asked him how he would dress the political candidates and first ladies. His answers are legend:

Hillary Clinton

"I’ll tell you that Hillary needs a new wardrobe. I just think that Hillary should be a little more fashion forward and be more casual. A boring business suit every day? I know it’s great for Washington but appeal to like the fabulous people like me! Like wear some pumps from Louboutin; wear a fabulous jacket and a feathered something."

Barack Obama

"I want him to be in like a motorcycle bomber jacket and like patent leather suit and like crazy really cool jeans with zippers on them. Something crazy."

John McCain

"That’s a serious situation. Maybe I think his suit just needs to go from like boring businessy suit to like a cool suit like Burberry. More tailored. It’s a little frumpy frump."

Cindy McCain

"I think she knew she was going to be really in the spotlight so she went really crazy and turned tranny and I think she needs to tone it down."

Michelle Obama

"Oh my god but I think it’s kind of fabulous (looking like Jackie O). She’s being very Washington DC and I’m from Maryland so I kind of love that. She just needs a pair of boat shoes."

WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE


Here’s some notes and fun behind-the-scenes fun from Game 2 that you might not have seen on TV:

-Max Lucado’s “For the Moment” daily bible in Ime Udoku’s locker.

-Derek Fisher shooting 20 for 25 in practice before the game, hoping to break his 3-point jinx.

-Tim Duncan watching film from Game 1 in the quite Spurs locker room and scheming about layups with Tim Thomas.


-Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing the National Anthem with a trumpet while free stylin’ at certain parts in the song. Flea and Anthony Kiedis wrote two songs about the Lakers on their 1989 album Mother's Milk, called "Salute To Kareem" and the "Magic Johnson" which features these lyrics:

Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
Cause they got more moves
Than a bowl full of jelly

Flea also used to blog about the Lakers. Even though the announcer says, “Please remove your hats,” he's still sporting a yellow Lakers hat during the song. Fans don’t seem to mind at all. They’re loving his rocker-trumpet version of the epic tune. Afterwards he jumps up about 5 feet in the air and then runs over to the Lakers players and high five’s them all.

-There’s a sign in the crowd that says “Kobe Diem.” While it’s no secret that Kobe is a big fan of Latin, having spent much of his childhood in Italy, perhaps this is because his favorite saying is, “Carpe Diem, Carpe Diem, Carpe Diem.” I know this, because we talked about it after a game.

-The regulars are here, of course: David and Posh, Tobe Maguire, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson.

-Ronny Turiaf yelling at the top of his lungs, dancing and singing "Sashaaaaa Vucacic, Sasha Vujacic!" after Sasha scores.


-After the game a hundred or so fans stick around to watch Kobe do a TNT post-game show with Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and a couple TNT guys. There are a ton of fans snapping pics, screaming “Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!” and “MVP, MVP, MVP!”

-For the first time in a while Trevor Ariza is surrounded by five reporters. Earlier before the game a reporter had asked Phil Jackson if Trevor would play or not. They’ve been asking all season and then sure enough, he played!

THE SASHA FACTOR

I can’t say it enough how Sasha is one of my favorites. We have the best pre-game convos ever. He always says hi to me and chats. He's also happens to be an incredible player. Here's another fun Sasha pre-game convo:

ME: What do you do before the game to get mentally prepared?

SASHA: Pick out socks. (He says as he folds some in his lap)

ME: Which ones are good to wear?

SASHA: It doesn’t matter, they’ve just got to match.

ME: You just need to get all the same socks so they always match.

SASHA: Yeah, but it’s the washing. They become grey after awhile. Seriously, I’m not kidding.

ME: Is Pau your best friend?

SASHA: I don’t know. Ask him. You never know what he’s going to say. He’s Calderon.

ME: Are you excited to go to San Antonio?

SASHA: Yeah, are you? Are you coming?

ME: No, they don’t send me.

SASHA: You’re going to party in OC, right?

ME: Uh, huh.

SASHA AND I ARE COOLIO, MANU AND I ARE TOO



The first Western Conference Finals game was yesterday and my boss at E! was getting ready to go to NY for the Sex In The City premiere (eh hem, jealous) so it was a busy day. But a fabulous one, nevertheless.

Not only did the Lakers come back from a 20-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs - the biggest deficit in the playoffs since 2002 - but I chatted with Sasha Vujacic. As he was combing back his long locks, he says:

"Hey you! How you been? Good? Everything okay?"

If was a lot of questions at once, by yes, I am proud to say we've reached "Hey you" status. (Either that or he forgot my name, but he calls me "OC" anyways).

SIDE NOTE: I've heard the Diglio make-up songs for Sasha - yes songs - there's two of them and words can not describe the amazingness of these tunes. The Dameshek Show on 710 ESPN has had just as much fun as I have making this Sasha song crisis an on-going joke. It's amazing.

(EDITORS UPDATE: Here's one of the new Sasha songs!)

I totally lucked out yesterday and caught Manu Giniobili walking down the hall to the bus by himself while he was munching on pizza. Manu was more than happy to chat about the game, being stuck on the tarmac and tell me he is reading an Argentinian history book right now. Fascinating stuff.

Okay, so now on to my Sasha chat:

ME: I won't bug you about the song.

SASHA: Don't worry about it! I like the song.

ME: Yeah, right.

SASHA: Don't ask me about the song.

ME: Ha, I won't. Okay, so do you think it was more that they ran out of gas in the 3rd quarter or you guys stepped things up?

SASHA: I think we stepped up and I think we stayed within the game plan. We knew what we were supposed to do, which was good.

ME: They'll have a bit more sleep come Friday, are you worried at all they'll have even more energy?

SASHA: We're never scared. We are never worried about what's going to happen. We want to come in and protect our - Sorry I am doing this -

(he says as he brushes his hair while looking in the full-length locker room mirror)

SASHA: So its going to be like, you know, we've got to protect our home court. There's a reason we play two games and it's great.

ME: You sealed the game at the end with those two free throws.

SASHA: Yeah, it wasn't me; it was the whole team, the way we played and I just got an opportunity to make those two free throws and that's what I love. My teammates were there for 48 minutes and we just played great.

BECKS MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER


Oh yes, Becks was at the game again.

He is the best friend in the world. My friends don't even read all my articles and David not only gets decked out in Lakers gear but he comes to every single game!

So I thought I would give him love on my blog.

REPORTING FROM ... LAKERS/SPURS GAME 1 (PART A)

It was the ultimate dual showdown in L.A. Wednesday night. The No. 1-ranked Lakers took on the Spurs for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals at Staples Center, while across the street, David Cook took on David Archuleta in the No. 1-rated TV show American Idol's season finale at Nokia Center.

One person who wouldn't have made the cut on Idol was the National Anthem singer at the game, who forgot some of the words to that sacred song—which happened to be on the Jumbo-tron; particularly helpful for those who don't know the tune.

In addition to being a traffic nightmare, both events saw the enventual winners returning from considerable deficits. In the biggest playoff comeback since 2002, the Lakers rallied from 20-points down to beat the Spurs 89-85. While across the street on Idol, 25-year-old Missouri bartender David Cook beat 17-year-old front-runner David Archuleta with 56% of the vote in the much-anticipated finale.

For some of the Hollywood set, the Lakers game was apparently the better of the two spectacles. Teenage heartthrobs the Jonas Brothers performed at Idol and then ditched the rest of the show before the winner was announced to meet up with Disney star sweethearts Selena Gomez and Brenda Song for fourth-row seats at the game.

Click here for the rest of my article on ESPN.com's The Mag Daily!

REPORTING FROM ... LAKERS/SPURS GAME 1 (PART B)



If American Idol can teach us anything, it's that fans are important to the game. While they may not be able to vote on the Western Conference Final winner, they can certainly have their say and offer words of wisdom and support. Starting with the worst seats in the house and working our way up to some of the best, here's a sampling of fans at Staples Center last night:

  • Richard Sarabia West Los Angeles
    • Games Attended in '08: 10-12
    • Paid For Ticket: $150
    • Seats Nosebleed. "But during the regular season $150 usually gets me section 200 which is in the middle."
    • Why You Don't Mess With Lakers Fans: "At Game 2 against Utah, a Jazz fan kept yapping and yapping until one of the Lakers fans just threw a beer at him. The Utah fan wanted to fight so security came and kicked the Utah fan out of the game. He was the one that got the beer thrown at him! Everyone was screaming, "Kick him out! Kick him out!" And the guy who threw the beer got to stay in the game."

  • Dave Carrillo Glendora, California
    • Games Attended In '08:: 12
    • Paid For Ticket: $125
    • Seats: Section 306. "It's not against the wall but it's pretty up there."
    • Why Fans Matter: "We play a big role and the players know it. They feel good, they have more confidence and they want to play harder for their fans. It's a big difference."

  • Stella Diaz Palm Springs, California
      Games Attended In '08:: 3-4 in San Antonio
    • Paid For Ticket: $140
    • Seats: Section 218 "They're decent."
    • Why She's Not A Traitor: "I enjoy the way San Antonio plays. They're so team-oriented. L.A. Isn't known for that but they're getting better. I've been getting booed all night long, but it's all fun and games. Everybody here pretty much understands being a fan to a team and being loyal to it. They just give me a hard time."

  • Rory Darvel Los Angeles
    • Games Attended In '08:: 6-7
    • Paid For Ticket: $120
    • Seats: Lower level
    • Why Dress To Impress: "I have to represent for the playoffs so this is my poncho and matching sombrero and underneath I have a uniform just in case Phil might need some additional help out there. I came by myself but in this outfit you make friends pretty quick."
    • Why Not To Be A "Flashy" Fan: "One time one of the fans flashed the Jumbo-tron. When they pan the crowd looking for fans people get excited. I guess she got a little too excited and forgot where she was."

KARDASHIAN PROPORTIONS



My co-worker Danielle, who writes for the Style Network's website, just came over to my desk to tell me about the newest product she tried for the "test drive." The test drive is where co-workers and friends try different products and write up a review. She's had me try a ton of stuff before like lotions, oils, toothpaste, etc.

"Oh my god, my butt looked just like Kim Kardashian!" she says to me as she pulls up Mystyle.com to show me her article.

Then she holds up a pair of butt-padded-booty-shorts.

"I got one for you," she tells me. "Pink or yellow?"

Honestly. Who comes up with this stuff?! I graciously pass on the shorts before quickly changing my mind and choosing a pink pair. These will make for a fabulous gift for a friend's birthday. God I love my job somedays.
