Padraig Harrington kept pouring in birdies as he tried to separate himself from everyone else at the Bridgestone Invitational. He arrived at the 18th green with a three-shot lead, happy with his day.

Then he glanced at the leader board for the first time Saturday. Suddenly, that lead felt a little smaller.





His closest challenger was Tiger Woods, the world's No. 1 player and close to unbeatable at Firestone.







He was surprised, yeah. he didn't know he was up there, who made four birdies on the back nine for a 3-under-par 67. "Okay, he's in second place. There he is, 7 under par. There you go, three-shot lead.







Is that enough? Probably not. I was trying to put as much room between me and the field. But at the end of the day, there's probably never enough room between you and Tiger.





he know,he has to play well tomorrow if I'm going to win.

Pop star Shakira is terrified the video for her new single is too sexy, fearing the raunchy promo will shock her parents and neighbours.

The stunning Colombian singer dons a flesh-coloured leotard to writhe around in a cage in the video for She Wolf.






But Shakira was worried about how the footage would be received by her loved ones.
My parents texted me to say they had watched it and really loved it. A bit provocative, but they loved it. But my mother was just a little bit concerned what the neighbours were going to say.






No matter how famous you are, you always wonder what your parents and neighbours will say. Parents are like your conscience. My mum saw some of the images before the edit and said, 'Oh my God, is that really you?' My dad said it was very artistic. I have their blessing.





And Shakira's fiance Antonio De La Rua, the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, was also wary of her appearing to bare all in the video.






He was at the shoot and he watched me walk out in the leotard and said, 'Hey, why don't you wear a scarf? Put a scarf on!' Then he closed his eyes and just let it happen

Madonna regrets breaking up with Guy Ritchie because she's bored schtupping young men. Kate Major's still talking, for some reason, about Jon Gosselin. Leighton Meester went shopping and the SWAT team was called in. Here's your Saturday Morning Gossip Roundup

Madonna regrets breaking up with Guy Ritchie, supposedly. Also, the novelty of dating her A-Rod proxy, Jesus Luz, has worn off, which is besides all of her Kabbalah friends being like, OY, A GOYIM NAMED JESUS?! Madge, babbeleh, step off it.







Anyway, now that Madonna's learning the whole Big Yellow Taxi Theory firsthand, maybe she will stop tearing down trees/divorcing husbands who are probably good for her in the long run and shtupping men who're half her age.






Also, getting to write about Madonna and Kabbalah reminds me of this 1998 where she did this ridiculous Shanti chant that segued into "Ray of Light." Two things: (1) in retrospect, this moment makes so much sense on the Timeline of Madonna Being Ridiculous as it was clearly kind of an important one and (2) the VMAs, man: they just don't make them like they used to.






Watch Lenny Kravtiz get on stage with Madge for "Ray of Light" and come to terms with the fact that you just don't have it in you to be as ridiculous as Madonna.





Jon Gosselin needs to be alone right now, and I think Kate Major needs to go to a decompression tank or something. She's the succubus of celebrity reporting.

French actress Catherine Deneuve was booed during a stage performance in Italy by people demanding a refund.

Deneuve, 65, and Italian actor Michele Placido performed a reading in French and Italian at the cultural festival in Marina di Pietrasanta, Tuscany, which was greeted by whistles and boos,







Police had to intervene to calm down about 200 people shouting, "Thieves. We want our money back, Organizers responded by offering free tickets to another show at the La Versiliana festival as compensation,





Deneuve declined to comment, while Placido, who also is a director, downplayed Wednesday's incident.






These things happen, Placido also suggested it might have been "a mistake" to have Deneuve read her part in French without subtitles.





The two actors performed a reading from George Perec's book "Je me souviens" - a recollection of memories from postwar decades accompanied by music.

Deneuve was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 1992's "Indochine."

Filmmaker John Hughes, who made some of the most memorable teen comedies of the 1980s and turned Macaulay Culkin into a major star, died suddenly of a heart attack in New York on Thursday. He was 59.

Hughes, who had largely turned his back on Hollywood in the past decade to become a farmer in the Midwestern state of Illinois, collapsed while strolling in Manhattan, where he was visiting family.







His films, such as "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," are considered standard-bearers of the teen genre, exploring American adolescent behavior with warmth and affection. He supplied his awkward characters with natural dialogue, allowing audiences to empathize with their travails.





Hughes worked with Molly Ringwald on both "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club," as well as 1986's "Pretty in Pink," which he wrote and produced. He also made a star out of Matthew Broderick, the fearless hero of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" who makes good on his determination to miss a day of school.







Many filmmakers portray teenagers as immoral and ignorant with pursuits that are pretty base, he was about to release "The Breakfast Club," his second directing effort.




They seem to think that teenagers aren't very bright. But I haven't found that to be the case. I listen to kids. I respect them. I don't discount anything they have to say just because they're only 16 years-old

Don’t be surprised to read image still matters to Andre Agassi.

Cameras rolled when Agassi entered a canopy to promote tennis in Newport Beach. No commercial shoot for the world’s former No. 1-ranked player to pitch a camera, just answer questions from reporters.







Agassi noticed the image inside lacked the right tone.
“Why is everyone so depressed?” Agassi asked before the Newport Beach breakers played host to Agassi and the Philadelphia Freedoms.








Agassi fired the first question before taking any Friday. At the end of the night, Agassi failed to answer the call for Philadelphia when it needed him the most.







When Agassi was a pro and became the only male tennis player to claim all four Grand Slams and an Olympic singles gold medal, his nickname was “The Punisher.”






The 39-year-old didn’t live up to it in the final set against Ramon Delgado.
Delgado hammered Agassi in men’s singles, leading the Breakers to a 23-18 victory in front of a sold-out crowd of 2,000 at Breakers Stadium.

Three times champion Andy Roddick cruised to a 6-3, 6-2 second round victory over Benjamin Becker in the Washington Classic on Wednesday in his first match since his five-set loss to Roger Federer at Wimbledon.

I wanted to get out there and make him play a lot of balls and get my feet under me and not overplay out of the gates, "I wanted to work way into the match, get some rallies going and try to do the basics well






The world number five needed only 55 minutes for the triumph over the German which saw him through to a third round meeting with fellow American Sam Querrey on Thursday.





there were no concerns about his fitness after a four-week layoff and that his right hip, injured in a fall during his nail-biting loss to Federer in the Wimbledon final, was fine.






I didn't serve very well, "But if there's one thing that's a little rusty that I'm not worried about coming around, it's my serve.





The match against Querrey could be more of a challenge.
"He's in form, having won in LA last week, "He's had a month of good matches behind him, so it's going to be a tough one."
The 16th-seeded Querrey advanced with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Igor Kunitsyn of Russia.
Fourth seed Fernando Gonzalez of Chile and fifth seed Robin Soderling of Sweden also moved forward but ninth seed Mardy Fish was beaten

Michael Phelps having to compete in a supposedly inferior swimsuit. The Serb even offered to buy his American rival one of the latest models if that’s what it takes to even the playing field for their rematch in the 100-meter butterfly.

coming after both swimmers easily advanced in Friday morning preliminaries, sets up a tantalizing rematch of their memorable race at the Beijing Olympics, which Phelps won by a hundredth of a second on his way to capturing a record eight gold medals.





Phelps has no choice except to stick with the Speedo LZR Racer because of sponsorship commitments is “a complete lie.







I know he’s making a lot of money from Speedo, “It’s loyalty. But throughout all my experiences, I’ve learned this - free will is a gift with a price tag, and whatever you choose to do you’re going to pay, but how much you’re going to pay is really dependent on you.







Arena would provide Phelps one of its polyurethane suits “within the hour.” The X-Glide and a similar suit by Jaked are considered fastest at these championships, where a staggering 29 world records were set through the first five days.

A Denville golf memorabilia dealer is suing one of the nation's largest sports card
companies, saying it lost six pin cup flags used at past Masters golf tournaments that he mailed to the firm to get autographed by Tiger Woods.

Robert Zafian, co-owner of Green Jacket Auctions, in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Morristown, he mailed six flags used at previous Masters tournaments on Feb. 28 to the Upper Deck Company, which was supposed to get the flags signed by PGA superstar Tiger Woods.





he's gotten flags signed by the California-based company before and still has an account with them.







More than anything I would rather have those six flags back (and) signed, "I'm in business to sell this kind of stuff, and I don't have it








He's suing the company for $40,000, claiming gross negligence was involved in losing his product, according to his Howell-based attorney Philip D. Tobolsky.
