We land at a school and set up a smokeshow splinter cell. Now within two weeks no girl at Roger Williams will be able to call themselves hot unless we've officially said so. And Nicole is clearly hot.

Manny Ramirez might get his meeting with John Henry, but the Red Soxprincipal owner will have a hard time giving his slugger any sympathy.Henry responded via e-mail to Ramirez’ statement in The Herald yesterday saying that he hoped for a postseason meeting with ownership to clear up their plans for his future.

“I want no more (expletive) where they tell you one thing and behind your back they do another thing,” Ramirez told The Herald. “I think I’ve earned that respect, for a team to sit down with me and tell me this is what we want, this is what we want to do.”

"I find remarks that we have been anything other than completely straightforward to be personally offensive,” Henry wrote.

Thank God for this. Because we've been forced to endure, what... two weeks?... since the last media-fueled Manny controversy. Which is like sitting through five minutes of a Michael Bay movie without an explosion. As with the previous 5,000 of these dust ups, there's really nothing to this thing.

It's simple. Manny wants the Sox to sign him to a long term deal. (Which is news to the Boston press corps who have been insisting for eight years now that he was doing everything to get out of town short of tunnelling out from behind his Raquel Welch poster.) The Sox have two one year options on him that they don't have to pick up until mid-November. And they're in wait-and-see mode. So what's the controversy here? That Manny would like the ownership to tell him what they're thinking? That's not an ureasonable request, but the Sox really don't owe him anything. They're perfectly within their rights to pick up the option whenever they damned well please, even if it's a minute before midnight of the deadline. That's the privilege you get when you've shelled out $160 million. Dan Duquette's Manny deal was a fixed rate mortgage on a house that was way above market in the early years, but now is a steal. The Sox are calling the shots because they've paid the tab.

None of which should be taken as a slight on Manny. He was open and honest with the Herald (which is what his bashers in the press are always complaining he doesn't do) saying he'd like the team to re-up him, which is fine. But the team has the luxury of waiting so they'll wait. Flat out Ramirez has not only been the best free agent signing in baseball history, he's been the best free agent signing in any sport, period. But that doesn't mean his numbers haven't declined the last three years running, and holding off on deciding whether to bring him back is the prudent thing to do. Both sides are posturing because this is business, not personal. If there's a huge controversy here, I guess I'm missing it.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Nine British women were facing prostitution charges after being arrested at the weekend for taking part in an oral sex competition in the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos, police said on Monday.

Six British and six Greek men, including two bar owners, were also charged in the incident, which took place at Laganas beach in the south of the Ionian island, which lies off the west coast of mainland Greece, police said.

The women, who came to the popular resort on holiday, had been paid to take part in the competition, which was video recorded and was to be posted on the Internet, police said.

The men were charged with encouraging obscene behavior.

Wait a minute, how are the guys in trouble here?  All they did was show up a wild Greek bar and by the grace of God - a blowjob contest broke out.  Listen I’m no Judith R. Margolin, but how is that illegal?  I mean this is like arresting the hot dogs in the Nathan’s Hot Dog contest.  It just doesn’t make sense on any level.  And by the way, what are the odds you show up a bar and a blowjob contest breaks out?   I go to a bar and hope for dollar drafts and if I'm lucky - maybe a Golden Tee machine.  These dudes enter their wangs in a blowjob competition.  As they say, it’s better to be lucky than good.

NYPost.com - ALEX Rodriguez's teammates must wish they could divorce him too. "He's become a huge distraction with the Madonna fiasco," a source told Page Six. "It's always all about him." That explains why none of his fellow Yankees went to the All-Star bash he hosted at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club Monday night.  Instead, his mommy, Lourdes, and his new best friends, Guy Oseary and Ingrid Casares, were by his side in a corner booth as he threw back shots. Over at Marquee, the more likable Derek Jeter threw a bash filled with pals like Billy Crystal and Michael Jordan. Jeter also brought his latest fling, Minka Kelly. Meanwhile, Mets third baseman David Wright hosted a Vitamin Water party at Hudson Terrace, where Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Paul Rudd and Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain listened to a midnight performance by 50 Cent.

Alex Rodriguez must get the worst advice of any human being in the history of earth.   From announcing he would enter the free agent market during the middle of the World Series to throwing rival parties against Derek Jeter and David Wright, he always makes the wrong move.    Honestly what did Arod think was going to happen here?    He’d have a tough time drawing people if he had the only party in town and all the other bars in the city ran out of alcohol.    I mean wake up dude.  Everybody hates you.  You’re like a fucking pariah.   But more importantly why are Arod and Jeter throwing different parties to begin with? This is like the old 25 players and 25 cab routine with the Red Sox and we know how far that got us.  Listen,  I’m not the biggest proponent of team chemistry when it comes to baseball, but it’s painfully obvious that the reason all of Arods teams get better the second he leaves is because everybody hates his ass so much.    He just ruins the entire mojo in the clubhouse and nobody gives a shit about anything but themselves.

PS - Who is this Ingrid Casares chick Arod is nailing now? Dude at least mix in a good looking chick every once and awhile. I mean this bitch is beat.

Bam! This is Helen Mirren showing off her bikini body at a cool 63 years old. Bring it Grandma! Time to rate this Supercougar. And I'm not talking on the old lady scale either. This is a straight up 1-10 vote. With Megan Fox as a 10 and some fat chick from Southie as a 1.

NYPost.com - The mayor of a two-bit Jersey beach town has been trash-talking Staten Island - kicking sand at helmet-haired, bar-brawling women, clueless blondes and loud-mouthed "guidos" who flock to the resort's seaside, bars and rentals. Belmar Mayor Ken Pringle says his four-page rag on Staten Island visitors was simply tongue-in-cheek, but visitors are seething, with one calling the parody pure misogynist racism.  "If it weren't for Staten Islanders, there probably wouldn't be a Belmar," fumed firefighter Kevin Erkman, 25, from St. George. "I think the mayor should shut his face."  The maelstrom was set off by Pringle's zingers in the July 4 edition of "Belmar Summer Rental News," a flier he personally publishes about tourism life in his 6,000-resident town - where the population swells to around 50,000 on some summer weekends. "We think of Guidos as a kind of rare bird: They flock to our shore towns during the warm months, and are as welcome as, oh, Canada geese," he wrote.  "They're always tanned to the color of coconut shells, and easily identified by their plumage: satin shirts and shirt skirts on the females; Armani Exchange T-shirts and artfully distressed jeans on the males." He added: "The call of the Guido is bellowing, and frequently slurred, invariably starting with the sound, 'Yo,' followed all too often by some creative variation on an expletive beginning with the letter 'F.' "

Wait a minute where have I heard of Belmar before?   Hmm, think Dave think.   Come on….come on!    Oh I remember!   Going to Belmar in my car….B-E-L-M-A-R! 

NYPost.com - Kim Kardashian became famous for her bodacious booty - but her man wants to trim some of the junk in her trunk. A source tells Page Six that Kardashian, who will wrestle Carmen Electra in the new flick "Disaster Movie," has been working out extra hard these days at the request of her boyfriend, New Orleans Saint Reggie Bush. "He's been pushing her to work out hard," said our source. Sunday, Kardashian was overheard telling a friend at the opening of FUSE nightclub in Nashville that Bush made her run the dunes at Manhattan Beach in California.

Reggie Bush is making Kim Kardashian run the dunes at Manhattan Beach?  Good for fucking him!    I can’t even get the First Lady to do suicides in our back yard never mind run the dunes on the Cape.    She’s always giving me some mumbo jumbo about how as long as we live at her mom’s house I can’t boss her around, but I digress.  I bet the reason why Kim jumps at whatever Reggie says is because of that sex tape she made.   I mean that’s like permanently having two strikes against you in a relationship.   After all who wants to date a chick they saw get demolished by another dude?   So now to try and keep her man, Kim is forced to do whatever he wants whenever he wants.  It doesn’t matter if it’s threesomes, public blowjobs or running the dunes of Manhattan Beach.  Once you make a sex tape you lose all power in your next relationship.   It’s dating 101.

First things first. Honey you're not Giselle. Yes you're hot, but there is only one Giselle in the modeling world and you're not it. Anyway this is an interesting idea. The builder is basically giving away this condo right? I mean it's not like he expects to get enough 50 dollar entries to recoup his loss. So the only reason he can be doing this is to get sites like Barstool Sports to give him free advertising and build some buzz about this place. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. But why does he have to give the place away? Couldn't he just have sexy models talk about the units and strip down without giving one away and accomplish the same thing?

BOSTON -- Two more women are claiming that state Sen. James Marzilli behaved inappropriately toward them.  In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Middlesex Superior Court, one woman alleges he made lewd comments and rubbed against her at a political rally for Gov. Deval Patrick in 2006. Another woman alleges that while spending the night in Marzilli's guest room last September, she awoke with Marzilli on top of her. The woman worked for a nonprofit organization headed by Marzilli's wife, who was away at the time. The suit asks the court to bar Marzilli from harassing his alleged victims and any other women.

Dude what is going on with the James Marzilli persecution in this state?   Enough already!  We get it.  He likes to inappropriately touch chicks.    Big deal.   I mean who hasn’t rubbed against a woman at a political rally before?  Shit happens in crowded situations.   And what’s with this chick who is complaining that she slept over Marzilli’s house and woke up with him on top of her?   What did she think was happen?  Everybody knows sleeping in a man’s guest room is code for I’m going to dry hump you.  How naive can you be?    It just seems unfair that now because of a couple borderline incidents the courts can suddenly say he doesn’t have the right to harass women anymore..  Let the man live for god sakes! 

If you don't feel bad for this midget chick than you have no soul. I mean all this poor girl was trying to do was to gain some respect in the world. You think that comes easy when you're a female midget in Mexico? No fucking way. So god bless her, she put her life on the line to fight a bull. People had to respect that. That was until the bull had to go and hump her ass. I mean it just doesn't get more degrading than that. Gore me. Kill me. Tear me from limb to limb. But whatever you do please don't hump me. You know this poor midget was on the ground thinking to herself. "No, not the hump, anything but the hump!" And am I crazy or did the clowns take their sweet ass time to break it up too?

I think alot of people think I hate the Dropkick Murphys. Not true. Granted somebody did once write an article in our paper entitled "I hate the Dropkick Murphy's", but it wasn't me. And I admit I don't love Tessie, but Shipping Off To Boston more than makes up for it. I mean it's the best anthem that any city has right now. And I like this new song. Sure they overlooked a line about how real Bostonians get all their sports and entertainment news from the Stool, but maybe next time. Anyway Click Here To Listen

JULY 16--Comedian Andy Dick was arrested this morning by California cops on drug and sexual battery charges. Dick, 42, was nabbed around 2 AM in a Riverside County parking lot after he allegedly groped the breasts of a 17-year-old girl and then pulled the teen's tank top and bra down, exposing her breasts (the incident occurred outside the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant). During a search of Dick, police discovered a small amount of marijuana in his pants pocket and a single Xanax pill for which he did not have a prescription. An "extremely intoxicated" Dick was booked into the Southwest Detention Center, where bail was set at $5,000. In May 2004, Dick was arrested on a pot possession charge while attending the Coachella music festival, also in Riverside County. (2 pages)

You know I'd like to give Andy Dick the benefit of the doubt here. After all what happens at Buffalo Wild Wings should stay at Buffalo Wild Wings. But what is going on with that mug shot? I spit out my coffee when I saw that thing and I wasn't even drinking coffee. Are we sure he just groped this chick? Because based on that photo I find it hard to believe he did anything less than have anal with her.
