Nuts & Bolts: Cheryl Cole, Louise Redknapp, Hillary Duff, Kelly Brook, Anna Kournikova

In this edition of Nuts & Bolts: Cheryl Cole legs it up, Louise Redknapp goes strapless, Hillary Duff’s side tat is explained, Kelly Brook is not wearing a bikini, Anna Kournikova gets wet, another pathetic “first pitch” at Dodger Stadium, Chris Cooley burns a cow carcass, why athletes score, Carrie Milbank at the NHL Awards, and Kendra cashes in.

CHERYL COLE LEGS IT UP

Via Daily Mail:

Perhaps taking style tips from fellow Chelsea WAG Carly Zucker, who is known for her love of backcombing, Cheryl showed off her bouffant semi-up do as she waved to fans.

Cheryl, dressed in a tiny orange mini skirt, with an unbuttoned purple shirt and dark brown Christian Louboutin heels, looked thrilled to be lavished with attention for the day.

That blue balloon has an excellent view

LOUISE REDKNAPP GOES STRAPLESS

I hope someday a newspaper will publish the fact that I opted to wear white shorts.

Via Daily Mail:

Louise, dressed in a strapless patterned bikini, laughed happily and was clearly enjoying spending some quality time with her husband, who opted for white shorts.

The 34-year-old, who gave birth to her second son Beau in November, looked in great shape as she showed off her post-baby body on the beach.

She's the hottest midget I've ever seen

HILLARY DUFF’S SIDE TAT DECIPHERED

Because I know you were all wondering.

Via JustJared:

Last week, Hilary Duff vacationed in a little black bikini on a beach in Hawaii.

The 21-year-old singer/actress showed off a new tattoo on the right side of her rib cage that read “ma petite amie.”

The Duffster’s new tattoo likely refers to a close female friend, meaning either “my little friend” (literally) or “my girlfriend” (proper meaning). The tattoo probably is not referring to boyfriend Mike Comrie, so who could Hilary be referring to? Older sister Haylie Duff perhaps?

Foreign language tattoos are hip

KELLY BROOK IS NOT WEARING A BIKINI

We hate it when she leaves, but we love to watch her go.

Via JustJared:

British actress/model Kelly Brook and her hunky boyfriend, rugby player Danny Cipriani, enjoy the heat wave at London’s Wimbledon Village on Tuesday (June 30).

The couple was seen leaving Knight Franks Estate Agents before heading for a healthy sushi lunch at Maki Yaki restaurant on Merton Road.

We'll let you know when she hits the beach again

ANNA KOURNIKOVA GETS WET

Enrique Iglesias tried to fight the woman… but lost.

Via Page Six:

ANNA Kournikova got into a fight Saturday night in Las Vegas after an unidentified woman threw a drink at the tennis ace. Kournikova and her pals were partying at Lavo after attending the Hardbat Classic table tennis tournament when a woman at the next table “threw a drink at Anna. She felt Anna was invading her space,” our source said. Kournikova “sprung into action” and starting screaming at the woman and shoving her. “It was a big fight,” the spy said. The woman was kicked out only after leaving Kournikova with some vicious scratch marks on her neck. Kournikova’s rep didn’t return calls.

ANOTHER PATHETIC FIRST PITCH AT DODGER STADIUM

Cool!

Via JustJared:

Chuck star Zachary Levi throws out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Monday (June 29).

Before the first pitch, Zachary cuddled up with his girlfriend, singing sensation Caitlin Crosby. Her new album,
Flawz is available on iTunes now!

That is one random dude

CHRIS COOLEY BURNS COW CARCASS

Cooley, you so crazy.

Via FanHouse:

In “news” sure to get someone’s panties in a bunch, Chris Cooley posted an interesting, we’ll say, entry on his personal blog recently. Apparently on his land in Wyoming, the Redskins tight end stumbled upon a cow carcass. Naturally, he and his cohorts set the already-deceased animal on fire to “get rid of it.” Cooley has teased a video of the fire, but it’s not yet posted. Until then, he has posted two pictures.

WHY ATHLETES SCORE

Kevin @ WAGRankings breaks it down.

Via WAGRankings:

The researchers got a bunch of girls together and gave them a picture of a dude. Each girl received a description of the dude in the picture, but not all the descriptions were the same. Here are a few samples descriptions (mine) to give you the idea:

1. The dude is a star athlete & is well respected by his team
2. The dude leads the Young Republicans club and is well respected by the members
3. The dude is on a sports team but never plays because he is crazy horrible
4. The dude is an active member of the Young Republicans club but he’s really a Communist and nobody in the club likes him

The girls then rated how willing they’d be to have sex with the dude on a 1-7 scale. Not surprisingly, their responses varied depending on the description of the dude that was handed to them. The super-jock was by far the most popular choice for a mate.

CARRIE MILBANK AT THE NHL AWARDS

I would make a “spank bank” joke, but I’m above that.

Via Gunaxin:

Carrie Milbank of ‘The NHL Show’ patrolled the Red Carpet again this year at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas. Carrie interviewed many players and stars before the big event, but then afterward she was interviewed herself, by Sarah Spain of Mouthpiece Sports. The interview took place poolside at the Palms, with Spain discussing the event with the fabulous Miss Milbank. I find it curious that they used a photoshopped version of a Milbank Photo in the piece, but the interview was well done. I especially appreciated the slow pan down to Carrie’s “shoes”. For more from Sarah Spain at the NHL Awards show, check out her interview with Capitals Owner, Ted Leonsis.

KENDRA CASHES IN

Ridiculous.

Via PerezHilton:

Us Weekly signed a $120,000 deal for exclusive rights to Kendra Wilkinson’s and Hank Baskett’s wedding photos.

But, just as the ink was drying, Michael Jackson died, which, of course, changed their cover plans.

Now, the mag is reportedly trying to somehow back out of paying them that much, but that dotted line was sealed with a signature!
