This is a lie very hard to believe. More like convincing someone that everything Leo Messi does is a pre-planned act, or even worse, UFC fights are fixed. Take out the “v” and you’re left with Lie-strong. I was very much attached to the brand that I made sure I never missed the Livestrong corner whenever I was in a Nike Store.

Great article about the King of Dope: Lance armstrong by Paul Kimmage – Independent.ie

He’ll be the most powerful man in Italy in the near future. Grandson of Gianni Agnelli, Lapo Elkann will soon be the President of Ferrari or maybe head of Fiat, Juventus, or whatever Agnelli left behind for his grandchildren. You might have never heard of Lapo, but I once saw him in the stands during a football match and the gentleman is everything about character.

He was responsible for the Fiat cinquecento (500) re-birth; something all Italians appreciate. But other than that, if you’re not a Juventus supporter you wouldn’t really have all that affection. But maybe you might when you see his denim interior Ferrari.

Wallpaper Magazine visited Lapo. Watch video here.

So I met Francesco Totti last night! I was at a cafe in Istanbul when my brother and friends left me behind because I wanted to have dessert. So Totti walks in sits at the table next to me. They were around 8 people and even Walter Samuel was there! I had a small chat with him, asked him about Roma and the new owners. I waited too long for my brother to come back but he never showed-up. Always loved Totti!

 I was looking for Totti’s official Twitter account before I slept. It was a great dream last night, the highlight of a dusty weekend.

Who’s the hottest celebrity that ever featured in your dreams? (FAH you can’t share your dreams, we know you even played soccer 13 times with Steve Jobs in your dreams!)

Born This Way has been trending everywhere lately! So Lady Gaga releases a new single which will be on her next album (album release: May 23rd). The issue here that she’s all over the Internet! Already a hit before anyone heard it, and guess what? She wrote the song in 10 minutes!!!

“I wrote ['Born This Way'] in 10 f**king minutes,” Gaga told Vogue. “And it is a completely magical message song. And after I wrote it, the gates just opened, and the songs kept coming. It was like an immaculate conception.” – via popeater.

I heard it will be on iTunes very soon in the upcoming hours I guess.

I wish I can make $100 in 10 minutes. Nothing more!

Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) tweeted around an hour ago: “I heard Kuwait won the Gulf cup, congratulations! I got a few friends from Kuwait and they keep going on about it – boasting!”

Thanks Ferdy, you’re a true friend! That was cool!

While I was sitting in the diwaniya and bored to bits, a friend approached me and asked whether or not my previous post regarding Steve Jobs’s Syrian biological dad was true? I agreed, and added that the post was over 2 years old!!! Steve was born to Abdulfatah Jandali and Joanne Simpson, a pair of 23-year old unwed University of Wisconsin graduate students(CNN). My friend became even more eager to fish for information around this topic, and so he used the most efficient research method in the 21 century: he GOOGLED it.. And this is what he got:

In 1955, the unmarried couple decided to give up their baby(Steve) for adoption, but what’s weird was that months later the couple got married and had another baby girl which they decided to keep!! So.. the couple decided to give up poor Steve for adoption and keep their new baby girl! They called their baby Mona. Four years later, Jandali abandoned his wife and 4 year old baby and started moving from job to job as a political science professor. His wife got married to another man and Mona then took her mother’s new married name, ‘Simpson’. Note that Steve Jobs still didn’t know that he had a biological sister yet. Years later, Steve hired a detective to find out who his true parents were and he found out that his real mother is called Joanne Simpson and that he has a sister called Mona. Mona is smart as well. She is a professor at UCLA and a highly acclaimed novelist and believe it or not, the Simpsons show was named after her!

I’m currently in San Francisco and many friends recommended that I try Dottie’s for breakfast/brunch. It’s a small place and it serves breakfast and lunch only. It opens from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm- Usually there is a long wait, but I guess I was lucky today, I went at around 2pm and found a table immediately. I ordered 3 Egg omelet with cheddar, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and peppers. I wanted hash browns with my eggs but unfortunately they don’t have hash browns; instead each order comes Dottie’s fries on the side. I also shared a pancake and french toast with my friend. The egg that I ordered was actually one of the best eggs I’ve ever tried in my life. I loved the cheese that they used and also the fries that came on the side. The fries turned out to be even better than the hash brown. The pancakes were good as well, but I liked the french toast more because they were crunchy. Some friends recommended that I try their muffins, but I was so full I couldn’t try anything else..

Oh and my friend spotted an actor called Dylan Walsh who happens to have new movie called Secretariat.

Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso recieved 10 million euros from Ferrari’s sponsors (Santander). The Spanish bank which insured each thumb for 5 million euros as part of a publicity campaign for accident and life insurance; just in time ahead of next week’s Grand Prix in Barcelona, Spain.

“Alonso’s thumbs are a symbol, as well as being essential for driving a Formula One car, in that they make a sign of victory and show that everything is under control and well protected,” the bank said.

If only Santander insured the fingers I use to write posts on Buzberry!

After 25 years, a number of artists gather again to remake ‘we are the world’ song but this time it’s for Haiti. The song was aired for the first time on the 12th of February during the opening ceremony of the winter Olympic games in Vancouver. It’s worth noting that the artists gathered in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios) and they have also added a part from the original ‘we are the world’ song where Michael Jackson was singing. Watch the official video below.

It all popped up at the right time, and don’t tell me it won’t affect the team, it has changed the outcome for Brazil, specifically in 1998.

Chelsea and (former?) England Captain (left) has been caught having an affairwith his [friend and ex-Chelsea teammate] Wayne Bridge’s (right) ex-girl Vanessa Perroncel (middle). A few months back , the same happened to Ashley Cole, who cheated on his wife Cheryl Cole. Now this is the scenario I have in mind: Although John Terry scored Chelsea’s winning goal last night, it does not mean he has put aside his personal issues, nor did Cole. Flipping the page to Manchester United, who I believe are fighting for all the 4 available trophies they can get their hands on and are fiercely fighting, one key player is on top of his game; Wayne Rooney and his Man Utd buddies are believe to be in their peak. If you don’t see what I’m getting to then here is it fair and simple. With Wayne Rooney being the indispensable player at the National and club stage - being all over the field from tonight until June, his engine might go bust and a garage visit is upcoming, if not now maybe tomorrow, maybe in April. In other words, with Rooney having his eyes on the February 28 Carling Cup final against Aston Villa, and a record 4th successive Premeir League title along with breaking his record of goals per season he is putting hell of a show and an injury is on the cards.

With Wayne Rooney possibly injured, Ashley Cole and John Terry focusing on personal issues, everyone is looking at a new leader in the form of Liverpool captain, Steven Gerrard. Oh but isn’t Liverpool suffering right now? If Liverpool fail to find form and qualify to the Champions League next season, Gerrard’s time at Liverpool would be at stake. As a result, underperforming in the World Cup is the least that could happen due to instability. 

Last time around, they[ENGLAND] had the full package but lacked the trainer. This time they have the best manager out there, but let’s hope that Rooney stays up, City remain fifth, and Terry a faithful husband.
