Allen Iverson with the defiant sideways beret.

Crawford's the happiest, fastest guy out of the medals in the 100 : "Two years ago, in a meet in Milan, Crawford appeared in the starting blocks wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask. With the mask obscuring his vision during the 200-meter race, Crawford crept into the wrong lane and was disqualified.

More recently, he raced a giraffe and a zebra for Fox television's "Man vs. Beast" and emerged from the experience calling himself the "Cheetah Man."

"Tell the zebra I coulda whooped him," Crawford told ESPN magazine. "

Since when can the TLC arrest people? And what the heck are "peace officers"?
7Online.com: TLC Peace Officers Arrest Journalist Mike Wallace: "Mike Wallace is certainly no stranger to controversy. He was in the center of it Tuesday when he was reportedly handcuffed and hauled away by peace officers with the Taxi and Limousine Commission who claimed they had no choice but to arrest him."

Celebrity, here is thy sting: "And then Sunday at the Teen Choice Awards, she and fellow award show host Nicole Richie were attacked by a swarm of bees on the blue carpet. Their publicists and other stars watched as the two flailed their arms and screamed like little girls, but brave pop star Christina Milian helped shoo the pesky bees out of Hilton's Farrah Fawcett 'do before they had a chance to sting.

'Her hairspray is probably attracting the bees,' said American Idol runner-up Diana DeGarmo. But Marlon Wayans offered another theory: 'The bees just wanted to sting her head (because) she's annoying.'"

Britney is a Jets fan.
