Couldn't Get a Ring? Join the Olympic Team!

Check out the roster for the U.S. Basketball team:

Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Jason Kidd,Tayshaun Prince, Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Michael Redd and
Deron Williams.


Notice who's missing from this list? Wonder why?

Personally, I think it's poetic justice that the non-champion winning players (including some who thought they should have gotten the NBA championship on a silver platter) go into Olympic exile and spend the next several weeks trying to forget that they have crappy teammates. Especially since the last time Pierce was on an Olympic team, he (and Allen Iverson to a degree) were universally blamed for not winning the gold for being to (insert euphemism for "black").

Well, these guys are fairly nice and safe (excluding the legal troubles of Anthony and Bryant). They should bring home something worth bragging about...after all, they have the time now.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
