Unfortunately, Jenn Sterger is back in the news after sitting down with Good Morning America about her "ordeal" over the whole Brett Favre scandal. The interviews will air this week.
Excuse me, but this whole ordeal was brought on by herself and herself alone. She reportedly sold the photos of Brett Favre's junk to a website after she was "frustrated" by the NFL's lack of action against Brett Favre.
Well boo hoo.
I'm surprised Sterger hasn't sued Brett Favre personally yet over this "awful ordeal." And, let's be real here. Brett Favre didn't just send photos of his wang to Sterger unsolicited. There was clearly something going on behind closed doors.
Only in America can a no-talent bimbo like Jenn Sterger get famous and profit from something so sordid.
I won't defend Brett Favre either. His hands are anything but clean. At the least he engaged in some sort of extramarital conduct by texting photos of his wang.
But, Sterger is clearly the gold digger she claims she isn't.

Many people throughout the United States are living and are affected by Multiple Sclerosis.
Individuals have been coming together throughout the US to participate in fundraising walks to raise money to help create a world free of MS.
This year, Philadelphia will be adding a brand new MS fundraising event. Zumba is taking over the city. And more specifically, the Philadelphia Art Museum steps.
In the tradition of Rocky, 33 Zumba instructors are leading their teams to fight MS, rocking out the art museum steps.
Zumba enthusiasts are registered for thirty three teams, which amounts to about 350 people to be part of this history in the making. The event is happening simultaneously with the MS Walk.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Greater Delaware Valley Chapter is looking for your help in increasing the awareness of MS and your help to eliminate it.
“MS is a disease that needs as much support as possible,” says local Zumba instructor Lauren Cardonick. “I couldn't imagine what people go through when someone close to them is suffering from MS. Some of my Zumba students have family members and friends with MS and it is important to me to be able to give them my support. What better way than to Zumba with these students on the Philadelphia Art Museum steps where Rocky made his history, and have a new tradition to continue to raise awareness for MS.”
Cardonick, the team captain for Zumba Phanatics, gives much praise to Kimberly Stoeckley, a certified Zumba instructor, employee of the MS Society, and team captain of Team Salvaje.
“Kim came up with the idea for the Zumbathon at last year’s walk at the Art Museum. She was helping out with the MS Walk as an employee. And then the music started playing. She was just looking at the Art Museum steps thinking that this would be a great place for a huge Zumbathon. Kim ran the idea by development and they told her to run with it. From there, she reached out to Instructor, Marianne Giosa, captain of Team Zumba Mama's, who hand-picked Zumba Instructors who she believed would fight to prevent the disease and raise awareness as a whole.
In fact, Stoeckley believes that the possibilities of expanding Zumbathon is a tremendous possibility.
“We are looking to add Zumbathon to next year’s MS Walk, possibly adding it to additional sites as well, since this has gained national exposure, as adding an adaptive Zumba component for those who need a seated or gentler style.”
If you would like to make a donation and be part of the Zumbathon, please go the National MS Society website at: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?pg=teamlist&fr_id=16032
When donating,make sure you specify a team or individual to donate to!
People can also volunteer with vendors if you’d like to be part of the day. All you need to do is just sign up at the tent.

Manny Ramirez has called it quits on his 19-year career after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs (otherwise known as PEDS) for a second time. The phrase "Manny Being Manny" was always uttered whenever Manny Ramirez did his own thing.
Ramirez is a player who always marched to the beat of his own drum. And, when told he would face a 100-game suspension, he threw in the towel on an otherwise brilliant career.
However, he now will go down as a fraud and not one of the greatest hitters in history. When you look at Manny Ramirez's overall statistics they are sick: lifetime .312 average, 555 homeruns, 1500 runs, and 1800 RBI. Only Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, and Manny Ramirez had as many homeruns and had an OPS over 1.000. Turns out Babe Ruth is the only one who wasn't a fraud.
Manny Ramirez joins a list of frauds which include Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, and Rafael Palmeiro.
The shame of it is - millions including myself were led to believe Manny was the real deal. In his prime, he was the most dominant hitter in the game. Back in 2008 when he was traded to the Dodgers he hit nearly .400 during that second-half run. He torched the Phillies in the NLCS, but we ultimately triumphed. Even then I thought he was for real.
Turns out Manny was just being Manny, but not the Manny we thought he was.

The 2011 NCAA Final Four got underway tonight as Butler outlasted VCU 70-62 to make it back to the National Championship game.
Butler's squad (led by coach Brad Stevens) came within 2 points to beat Duke last year, but have another shot to take home the prize this year.
VCU was the proverbial cinderella team this year, making it to the Final Four as an 11th seed. It marked the first time since the field expanded to 64 that an 11 seed (VCU) faced an 8th seed in Butler.
VCU head coach Shaka Smart has vaulted himself into elite coaching company in just his second season. Smart is also one of the youngest coaches in the NCAA at just 33 years old.
Butler's Matt Howard led the Bulldogs down the stretch. Howard finished with 17 points and 8 rebounds.
Butler will take on the winner of the Kentucky-UCONN semi-final game. UCONN currently leads Kentuck 27-19 with 4 minutes to go in the 1st half.

President Obama has unleashed a brilliant energy plan that even has Wall Street smiling as Natural Gas futures have surged.
In Obama's energy speech at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama called for cutting U.S. oil imports by one third. Added to that, Obama is calling for the boosting of U.S. oil and gas production as well as alternative fuels.
Investors are paying attention to a couple other key parts of his energy policy, which include a pledge to have federal agencies buy only alt-fuel vehicles by 2015 and a promise to expand U.S. oil exploration and production.
The U.S. Government is weighed down by backroom deals, but you cannot deny that Obama has a heck of a vision in store. It will be exciting to see this hopefully come to fruition.

Jackie Chan is the latest Hollywood celebrity to fall victim to the Twitter death rumor. Thousands of people were tweeting that Jackie Chan was dead and issuing R.I.P. Jackie Chan tweets.
Jackie Chan also personally set the record straight that he's alive and well.
Remember folks, the first rule of thumb when you see something on Twitter trends is to check TMZ or OhNoTheyDidn't. From there, ye shall find the truth on whether or not a rumor is bunk.
