BNL hearts women's hockey, Dennis Rodman SOS, Serena Williams = ego

Canadian band Barenaked Ladies is doing something pretty cool in support of that country's very successful women's Olympic hockey program. BNL is playing at a benefit for the "Ladies First Hockey Foundation". It's nice to see the guys stepping up to help the Canadian women. Now...will some American band or entertainer do the same to help our strong women's team??? It's not like they're getting paid NHL money for being the best in the world....

By all accounts, former Piston Dennis Rodman is actually a nice guy...but he's made a complete mess of his life (and body). Friends, including Lakers coach Phil Jackson, and Rodman's family recently staged an intervention to get him into rehab for alcohol issues. Sadly, Rodman thought being on "Celebrity Apprentice" was more important than his health.

Say this for Serena Williams, the woman is rarely boring. But sometimes, Serena's ego crosses over from being cute to downright too big for her Nike britches. She's not No. 1 in the world right now, Dinara Safina is, but Serena feels she's really the best. Maybe this is an old WWF ploy to hype her upcoming matches.
