Image
  **** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. Harding **** Lance Armstrong THE ARMSTRONG LIE --- Last night we caught a special sneak at the Sony screening room of Alex Gibney’s much anticipated and talked about new movie, The Armstrong Lie. In 2008, filmmaker Gibney set out to make a documentary about Lance Armstrong’s comeback to the world of competitive cycling. Armstrong had brought global attention to cycling as the man who had triumphed over cancer and went on to win bicycling’s greatest race, the Tour de France, a record seven consecutive times. More than just an athlete, Armstrong had come to embody nothing short of the possibilities of the human spirit itself.  In 2013, Armstrong had admitted to using performance enhancing drugs and an investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency effectively stripped Armstrong of all seven of his previous titles and banned him from all sport for life). Setting out to chronicle his comeback, The Armstrong Lie (ope...

GREGORY LOUGANIS ON LANCE ARMSTRONG

Image
**** With all the drama surrounding the Lance Armstrong interview,expected to run in two parts this week on OWN Network, Olympic Champion Greg Louganis went to his Facebook account to give us some insight and his view on the drug scandal. I must say, Greg opened our eyes on a few things. The real champ here is Greg Louganis! **** Lance Armstrong From Gregory Louganis Facebook Page. I don’t usually chime in with a lot of “gossip” or “public opinion” of celebrities, but I myself was challenged to figure out how I felt about the whole Lance Armstrong situation. Am I disappointed he cheated? Yes, I “feel” for those competitors who were “clean” and competing. I am also not so naive to think Lance was the only one. I do have to say, all of the interviews and what I saw and the public saw, was a humble and gracious winner in Lance. He became a spokesperson of hope for Cancer, the “Live Strong” campaign; he gave hope to many when some may have felt hopeless. He didn’t...

Armstrong explained it all in a post on his Twitter.com page . He wrote, "Cops at house. Someone dialled 911. After interrogating the kids we figured out yours truly misdialled (Bolch) whose number starts with 913 .. Doh!!" Photo By: Sara De Boer/Retna

WHY LANCE ARMSTRONG LEFT SHERYL CROW

Lance Armstrong Bike rider Lance Armstrong blames singer Sheryl Crow's biological clock for their relationship breakdown. Lance and Sheryl dated for three years and were engaged to be married, but went seperate ways in February 2006. Armstrong has three children from another marriage to Kristin Richards, but is insisting he wasn't ready for kids with Crow as he was still recovering from his divorce. In his upcoming tell-all book Lance, he admits the pressure of Crow's advancing years finally broke them apart, according to New York gossip column Page Six. He writes, "She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn't want that, but I didn't want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I'd just had kids. Yet we're up against her biological clock -- that pressure is what cracked it."Because if somebody wants a child -- man, that's the greatest gift you can give to a woman -- so who are you to stand there and say...

Biker Lance Armstrong is still denying his romance with Hollywood star Kate Hudson after he was quizzed about the relationship during a television show interview today. The couple have been romantically linked since they were spotted kissing and cuddling during a party at the Cannes International Film Festival in France last month, but neither star has spoken out about their rumored romance to date. And when the famous athlete was put on the spot on chat show The View, he politely declined to answer the four female hosts’ inquiries as to his single status. Armstrong says, "Number one, I know you have to ask that question. And it’s my right not to answer it. Number two, I think when you’re happy about something or proud about something, I think it’s natural in human nature to talk about it."But I’m not going to answer it. Next question." Hudson appeared on the show last week, laughing when asked the same question before saying, "Ask him." Photo By:Christopher P...

A source tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, "Kate and Lance have been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was really funny when people were writing recently that she was engaged to Owen, because the reality was that they had split again and she was secretly seeing Lance."She and Lance are both physical, passionate people -- she's never been happier."

LANCE ARMSTRONG ON EX. SHERYL CROW

Image
Sheryl Crow's ex-boyfriend Lance Armstrong has vowed never to discuss his private life in public after his high-profile relationship with the rocker ended last year. Armstrong, who split with the singer last February, believes speaking out about potential partners puts "unnecessary and unrealistic expectations" on a couple -- and he intends to stay silent over any future love conquests. The 35-year-old cyclist says, "We are not going to talk about whoever is involved or whoever is in my life. If somebody takes a picture they can put two and two together. "It's so hard. It puts too much strain and unrealistic expectations on a relationship when you put it out there. "It's tough when you love somebody and you want to be with them, you want to talk about them. It's not easy, but I think it is by and large better not to talk about it."

Matthew joked to Details magazine: "We tried it. It wasn't for us."A lot of people don't understand friendship and brotherhood. I have a great friend in him. I'd do anything he asked me to, even though he'd probably never ask me to, and he feels the same way."Seven-time Tour de France cycling champion Lance - who called off his engagement to singer Sheryl Crow earlier this year - admits he and Matthew had no idea their bond would develop into something so strong. He explained: "Our friendship just kind of developed. He got out of a relationship and I'd just gotten out of a relationship."I think people see pictures and they think we're these overgrown frat guys, but we all have those kinds of relationships - and relationship isn...
