Sergio Garcia Climbs Tree, Hits Golf Ball Out

Sergio Garcia pulled off one of the great golf highlights this weekend. After hitting his ball into a tree on the 10th hole of Florida’s Bay Hill Country Club Sunday, he climbed up, found it, and successfully hit it back into play! Watch the Spaniard’s amazing one-handed shot below: Sergio Garcia Hits Ball Out of Tree Perhaps even more amazingly, Garcia double-bogeyed the hole after the fact, and withdrew from the field. So this was the highlight of his day for sure.

Huge Hefner Has Slept with HOW MANY Women?!?

It may have taken awhile, and it may have included one canceled wedding, but Huge Hefner is now happily married to Crystal Harris . And the Playboy founder tells the new issue of Esquire that, contrary to popular opinion, his union could not be more ideal. “All our friends think it’s made in heaven,” Hefner says . “It’s only people who don’t know us who simply use us as stereotypes in terms of age and beauty. I just feel very, very fortunate to have found her at this stage in my life. I saved the best till last.” And just how many women came before Harris? “Over a thousand, I’m sure,” Hefner said of his magic number, though he’s quick to tell the magazine: “There were chunks of my life when I was married, and when I was married I never cheated. But I made up for it when I wasn’t married. You have to keep your hand in.” Well, sure. But the better question would be: How does this 86-year old keep a certain other body part up ?

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush: The Pre-Divorce Meeting?!?

Reggie Bush and the Miami Dolphins lost to The New York Giants, 20-17, on Sunday afternoon. But did the former number-two draft pick win back an ex-girlfriend?!? Sources tell MediaTakeOut that Bush met up with Kim Kardashian on Saturday afternoon at BAR MASA, a sushi restaurant in New York City. Kris Humphries was in Minnesota at the time and Kim was reportedly ” excited ” about seeing the man she dated for over two years. Interesting… Over the summer, tabloids claimed that Bush was frantically texting Kim , hoping she’d call off her wedding. It seemed ridiculous at the time, but, hey, the tabloids called Kim’s divorce from Kris in this case, didn’t they? Moreover, if living arrangements really were an issue for Kardashian with Humphries, they would not be in this case: Bush resides in Miami. Next to whatever red carpet event is lining her bank account, that city is Kim’s second home.

Jessica Simpson: Totes Cool With Weight Gain

Jessica Simpson, who confirmed her pregnancy Monday, is happy with her body, according to the new issue of Lucky magazine. That is a very fortunate thing. “Everybody fluctuates, but I’m open about my weight and confident,” the 31-year-old mom-to-be with the cute baby bump says. “I don’t cry about it too much.” Expecting her first child with fiance Eric Johnson, she adds: “I like the way I look.” Jessica Simpson’s frame has gotten thicker over the years . According to the str, who has to be fairly well along at this point (we knew Eric got Jessica Simpson pregnant in September), being curvy is good for business. YA THINK? “I got so much scrutiny for putting on extra pounds … but I think that the decision not to make myself anorexic was actually great for branding,” she explains . She’s referring to her billion-dollar fashion and beauty empire, of course, adding, “‘Cause when you’re really, really skinny, not everybody can relate to you.” SO true. Jessica Simpson is nothing if not a role model.

Lindsay Lohan Cleared in Rehab Fisticuffs

Lindsay Lohan can cross one thing off her list of legal worries. Officials with the Riverside County District Attorney are not filing charges against the star for her December 12 altercation with Dawn Holland in rehab. The case was dropped “due to insufficient evidence” against LiLo, who was accused by Holland, then a Betty Ford Center employee, of all sorts of stuff. After she allegedly caught the actress drinking and violating curfew, Holland claimed Lohan threw a phone at her, a charge that Lindsay later denied. The train wreck’s mom, Dina Lohan, said her daughter, who also faces trial for felony grand theft after rejecting a plea deal , was elated at the news. “Lindsay didn’t know until Tuesday night when I texted her the good news. She texted me back, ‘Great, Awesome! Thanks Mommy. Goodnight!'” “We are all just so relieved , we were all waiting for the truth to come out that Lindsay was innocent. Lindsay has been working on her sobriety.” “She has been following the Betty Ford program and they have been supportive throughout this entire experience. They stood behind her.” Who knew the program included non-stop partying ?

It’s a Boy For Elizabeth Banks!

Elizabeth Banks and husband Max Handelman are now the proud parents of a beautiful boy named Felix, who was born via gestational surrogate. “I have been very fortunate in life both professionally and personally,” the 30 Rock star, 37, wrote on her website in a post announcing the birth. “The one true hurdle I’ve faced in life is that I have a broken belly,” she added . “After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy.” “From that came two miracles. The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity.” “The second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman.” “Felix means ‘happy’ and ‘lucky’ in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life,” she concludes. Congratulations to the happy parents! [Photo: Fame Pictures]

Colorado

We had a really busy day in Colorado last week. Our schedule was packed with TV interviews, stops at local HQ offices to thank supporters and even a few book signings were thrown in for good measure. Through it all, it never ceases to amaze me how wonderful everyone has been. I can’t thank you all enough for the work you’re doing to get Dad elected. I know it sometimes seems like an uphill battle, but as anyone who has followed my dad knows, he always loves proving the experts wrong. The best surprise of the day was catching up with Mom at our hotel where she surprised me with this really cute jacket for my birthday. As we head into the final week, stay tuned. There will be some surprising things ahead! Song of the Day: “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat” by Bob Dylan

Musings on Politics from a Pop Culture Girl

When I started the Blogette last year, I wanted to show people what happens behind the scenes in a national campaign. I did this because I love my family and I knew that it might surprise people to see how normal this experience can be. I know this has been a difficult campaign for a lot of people. I know there are many who just want to get past the last eight years. And I know there are people who are so desperate for change they will do anything to get what they think is a better deal. I make no excuses for the state of politics today. But I want everyone to know that my dad is more than ready to be the President this country needs right now. Everyone always assumed Iraq would be this campaign’s number one hurdle. The only thing I respect more than people’s opinions about how to proceed in Iraq are the men and women who are bravely serving our country in harm’s way every single day. My Dad is the only candidate with real military experience who has the support of an overwhelming majority of current service members. And if you really want to know how much I trust him, remember that I have two brothers who are serving, one of whom is about to redeploy. Of course, all of this is easy to miss, because this election is clearly about moving past the current administration and fixing the economy. If you honestly think someone with extremely limited experience will solve the severe problems we have in this country then, by all means, vote for Senator Obama. If you want to give complete control of our government to the Democrats who have made a real mess of things over the last two years they’ve controlled Congress, then go ahead and vote for Senator Obama. And, if you really believe that our taxes should be higher and that government should have a bigger role in our lives, vote for Senator Obama. Some of you have asked me how I can support my Dad or call myself a Republican when times are so tough, especially since my own personal beliefs don’t always sync with the GOP. Well, I have asked myself that same question a lot. But I support my Dad through it all because I know this: my Dad will be unlike ANY other Republican president. My father has the experience, leadership skills, and proven dedication to serve. I only wish people could understand that Dad will bring about the change everyone is so hungry for in a much more real way than Senator Obama could ever possibly hope to do at this stage in his political career. So, forget everything you’ve heard or seen. Just know this: everyone wants change. And while some people can only talk about it, my dad will bring it. Don’t give up on him. He is never going to give up on you. And by you, I mean every American. Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or political ideology; a vote for John McCain is a vote to change our country for the better. Don’t hope for a better future. Vote for one. Song of the Day: “Believe” by The Bravery

More Cowbell

We spent another day in Colorado, where the unique persona of the West is really front and center. From the bales of hay to the cowboy hats, you know exactly what part of the country you’re in. Everyone has been so friendly and supportive at these events, and I know how much this energy means to Dad. We’re going to have a report soon on our travels through Nevada with Linda Ramone, so stay tuned! And a special word of thanks for the overwhelming positive responses to yesterday’s post .

Linda Ramone Part 2

It’s been an amazing week! Linda Ramone was kind enough to join us for a few days as we did interviews and visited HQs throughout Nevada and Las Vegas, which is one of my favorite cities. The energy in Vegas is fantastic, and it’s been a dream to get to know Linda. We ended the day with an incredibly fun event at the Hard Rock and followed it up by recording a segment for MTV News, which was exciting to say the least. I cannot believe we’re less than five days away from the election. Thanks again to everyone for your words of encouragement. We’re going to make it!
