The Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight has gotten even uglier

The Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao match promises to be the largest-grossing boxing match in history, yet it keeps taking one bizarre turn after another.  In the lastest turn, Pacquiao threatened to initiate a libel suit after he accused the Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer of telling a Filipino journalist that Pacquiao used performance-enhancing drugs.  On Tuesday, Mayweather went so far as to issue a statement demanding “Olympic-style drug testing” administered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.  Pacquiao said he will not participate in such testing and threatened suit against Mayweather, his father, Schaefer, and Golden Boy Promotions.

We hope you had Mele Kalikimaka just like the Obamas

The United States' first family, the Obamas, spent the Christmas Holidays in Oahu celebrating quietly with their extended family.  President and Mrs. Obama did not exchange gifts this year, according to White House spokesmen.  Instead, they focused the holiday on giving to the children and service to the community.  Mrs. Obama, along with her daughters Malia and Sasha, and the First Dog, Bo, delivered cookies to the Children's National Medical Center earlier this week.  The Obamas celebrated the holidays with the President's sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family and will extend their Hawaiian trip into January.

There is nothing else like Christmas in Hawaii.  If you ever have the opportunity to visit Oahu at the holidays, jump on it.

NBA investigating Gilbert Arenas for storing guns in his locker

Washington Wizards say its guard, Gilbert Arenas, stored unloaded firearms in a container in his locker at the Verizon Center.  The team said the firearms were unloaded and there was no ammunition in the locked container.  Arenas told The Washington Times he took his guns to the Verizon Center after his daughter, Hamiley Penny, was born this month. Approximately a week after her birth, he says he handed the firearms over to team security with a request they turn the guns over to police.  Arenas told the newspaper. “After my daughter was born, I was just like, ‘I don’t need these anymore.”

This is not Arenas' first trouble with firearms.  He was suspended for Washington’s season opener in 2004 because he failed to maintain proper registration of a handgun while living in California in 2003.  The league’s collective bargaining agreement allows for players to legally possess firearms but prohibits them at league facilities or when traveling on any league-related business.

Band Aid "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

I can remember watching this everysingletime it came on Mtv. Every time. Did you know Kool & the Gang and Jody Watley (Shalamar) were the only Americans to participate in the collaborative effort? Other attendees included U2, Boy George and Culture Club, Duran Duran, Wham!, Bananarama, Queen, Phil Collins, and Sting. This was right up there with "We Are The World" for me.
