Happy birthday Giggsy!

My favorite United player turned 40 today, and still going strong on the pitch. He gave a solid, full 90 minute performance in midweek against Bayer Leverkusen, with an assist for Nani's goal at the end of the game. I wish you a very happy year, and hopefully a few more years in that United #11 jersey.

Farewell, Mark!


Today's Brazilian GP was Mark Webber's last race in Formula 1. The 37 year-old, oldest on the grid this season, decided that he's had enough and would move on to endurance racing with Porsche for next season. It's a shame that he never got to be a world's champion, he surely deserves one. But, thank you, Mark, for all the memories. You will be sorely missed in F1. I do love his bluntness; saying whatever he feels to the media, as opposed to the younger, PR-trained kids, who say what they're supposed to say. I respect that, and I love that.

I'm just happy that at his very last race, Webber was able to battle a few drivers for position, and win them, and ended up on the podium. He had to overtake Alonso twice, because of a pitstop issue that put Webber back behind Alonso after his first overtake. These two has had great battles, and that's one aspect of the sport that I would definitely miss. And taking off his gloves and helmet during the cool down lap was definitely an image to remember. I understand that it's very dangerous, but it really humanized the drivers.

A few highlights from today's events:

I would love to see Mark Webber at Old Trafford


Carrick had just extended his contract to 2015, which goes against United's (or it could have been Fergie's) policy of 1 year extensions for players over 30. Webber is about to race his final Formula 1 grand prix this Sunday, at the Interlagos circuit. It's quite exciting, since this is looking to be the first and only wet grand prix of the season. The only thing is, the United game at Cardiff City is on at the same time as the race! I can watch one on my iPad and the other on my iMac, but it would have been much better if they were one after the other.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing Mark Webber at Old Trafford in the near future, especially since I won't be seeing much of him out of F1.

Jimmy Fallon + Justin Timberlake = high expectations SNL episode



I honestly can't wait. It'd be interesting to see which songs Justin perform. And even more interesting to see what sketches he'd appear in and if there will be any surprise guest appearances. I'm basically just excited for next month!

GQ's Man of the Year

Justin Timberlake is one of this year's Men of the Year, according to GQ (and I completely agree; he should be the man of every year). This means he appears on the cover of the magazine, accompanied by an article, and hopefully some more pictures from the photo shoot.

Congrats Chris Kirkpatrick!

Yesterday, Chris Kirkpatrick married his longtime girlfriend Karly Skladany in Orlando, FL. The *NSYNC members were on hand as ushers, as revealed by Lance Bass on his radio show Dirty Pop:


The most intersting tidbit, though, is that the boys were wearing the cheapest rented tuxes from Men's Warehouse, because that's the Chris thing to do. Imagine Justin Timberlake, who has pretty much been suited up by Tom Ford all year long, with a cheap rented tux.

Anyways, congrats Chris!! :D

Update, Chris tweeted:


Wonder what the advice was.
