Evan Lysacek: Still Dancing Even with Two Broken Toes

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Evan Lysacek will be facing greater challenge in Dancing with the Stars. It will be a tougher competition now that he has broken two toes. The day after the show, Evan and Anna began rehearsing for their next dance which is the quickstep. While rehearsing, the Olympic skating star felt a bit of an ache, and then a throbbing pain in his left foot. He had it checked and was told that two of his toes were broken. Although Lysacek had broken his toes, he’s still in to give a terrific performance on the next show. He’ll tape his broken toes and hit the dance floor with the same 100 percent effort he gives in his training. Lysacek is such a professional that he won’t let the pain keep him off the ice, nor it will keep him off the dance floor.

Stephen Colbert Can’t Cover The Olympics Without Getting Sued

Posted on February 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Stephen Colbert's coverage of the Olympic games hit a snag Monday night when he was informed that NBC has a stranglehold on everything Olympic related. NBC's grip is so tight, he can't even show any geometric shapes of any size or color without getting sued. If he wants to show the Olympic rings, they must be pixelated. If he wants to say “Olympic coverage,” he…well he can't. Luckily he's come up with a better name for the games: “Quadrennial Cold Weather Athletic Competition.” Click link for video added by: Future_America
