This years awards have an overwhelming 37 categories with Michael Phelps leading the way with 4 nominations of his own. (Guess weed-gate is the thing of the past)

Yes she made Bruce call his old contacts and so called ran into matt leinhart who "dated" Paris Hilton (wait who on the planet, white male has not dated Paris) ..Matt was Reggie's BF. Dont know how true the story is. I may go I've made THREATS to a family member have not asked him for the mass of other tickets he could have got for me. But its the parties..etc where you meet them soo who knows if it will even do me any good I dont want to see kobe,the swimmer this year's draft class kind of sucks..soo

.....for now. Do yall really really think he's gonna stay retired? He has such an ego. Plus, I'm sure he still yearns for a championship and would like to be back on top where he once was. What happened? I remember when he was drafted. He was #1...

Men love the thrill of the chase (make the guy chase a little longer next time). Take it as a learning experience. He may be sincere or he may be telling you what you want to hear (false hope). Hopefully you'll come out on top the next time around...
