Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong…

Michael Phelps.

For the first time in the fifty-five years Sports Illustrated has bestowed the title of Sportsman of the Year on an outstanding athlete, this year it went to a swimmer; our future baby daddy, Mikey Phelps.

It’s “not for the victory alone that he is honored. Rather, it is for the quality of his effort and the manner of his striving,” that an SI Sportsman is chosen (we have to ask, is there ever a SportsWoman?).

First Yves Saint Laurent, and now Bo Diddley? June is getting off to a rough start.

Rock n’ roll pioneer Bo Diddley died today at the age of 79. He was surrounded by friends and family in his Archer, Florida, home when he passed. The cause of death was heart failure, according to his spokesperson. Diddley survived a heart attack in August 2007, three months after suffering a stroke while touring.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
