IS ARod plugging Madonna?

According to US Weekly, ARod has been making visits to Madonna's Central Park West apartment. That means he's probably "getting down" with the Material Girl. Mr. Rodriguez has shown two traits that also support the veracity of the claim. He's cheated on his wife already ... with a stripper in Toronto. The other piece of evidence is his penchant for women with manly builds. I think if you check out the two pictures below, you can see what I'm talking about. If you were the best player in baseball, who would you choose? Pictures are below...


Joslyn Morse and Madonna... practically work partners


NY Post Comes Second to OCD

When I saw the headline "Tossed Salads Becoming More Popular As A New York Food," I wasn't surprised. A co-worker (thanks Lindsay!) sent me this link to a New York Post article from June 18th about chop't in Midtown. Loyal readers may remember that I made a similar post about chop't on May 21st.

Even though I know they didn't copy me, I can't help but feel ripped off. It's true: I didn't get deep into the story about the "fierce loyalties" in chop't patrons. I also did not investigate to find out that the bite-sized pieces were the selling point. But I did convey the simple message that this place is stupid busy at lunchtime. Would you stand on the street to get a salad? In any case, I think that you should continue to get your news from OCD. I'm just wondering when the first series of Mario Lopez articles will pop up in the New York papers...

OCD Breakdown: European Flair

I hope that you all had the chance to catch some of the Euro the past couple weeks. It really was an amazing tournament with Spain taking it all. I didn't see everything, but I was lucky enough to catch Turkey's comeback against Czech Republic. I was also watching when David Villa scored 2 minutes into stoppage time off of a clear. But nobody cares about soccer... so I'll get to the point.

Euro soccer has been the source of numerous regrettable trends in recent years. Fashionable mullets and anything related to David Beckham (double ponytail, cornrows, etc.) come to mind immediately. The fashionable mullet (usually faux-hawked-out to some degree) is not to be confused with the standard "fabio" that's a favorite of many Italian and Argentinian players. Soccer players don't wear helmets or hats... so they have a lot of hair options.

I spotted two emerging trends at this year's Euro -- two daring players with two vastly different statements. Luca Toni, who my brother and I believe to be one of the laziest players in the world, has gone with a totally 80's look. He's got the throwback 'stache and the locks to match. Boswinga takes another approach with his disregard for grooming his massive brow. The bold eyebrows give him an imposing gaze for all to respect. Both players have blazed the way for other players to jump on board with these trends. I expect that they will both be quite popular at the Olympics and World Cup 2010.
