Schilling closes season set with Yanks
On Sunday at Fenway Park, fans will witness a pitching matchup so steeped in the tradition of the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry that the stuff might as well be oozing through Gates A-D onto Landsdowne Street and Yawkey Way.
It's a formula part toxic and wholly beguiling: Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling, nemeses of the Red Sox and Yankees, facing each other from each side of the Boston-New York axis for the first time.
They are 45 and 40 years old, respectively. Yankees manager Joe Torre recalls catching Warren Spahn, who was a 42-year-old winner of 23 games in 1963. This is something else.
"That was remarkable," Torre said. "But he wasn't a power pitcher, and these guys are basically still power pitchers."
P. Diddy Hosts the VMA After-Party at LAX
September 9, 2007
LAX Nightclub was built for a king on Sunday night as P.Diddy and DJ AM hosted a star studded VMA after party. Entering the club wearing a jeweled crown and gold medallions, Diddy reigned supreme over the entire VIP stage. With DJ AM spinning hit after hit, Diddy grabbed the microphone and began his impromptu emceeing for the evening. With the packed house in frenzy from the duo of Diddy and DJ AM, Britney Spears entered the club and hung out with a small group before leaving for the evening. Seated at the table just next to Diddy was Paris Hilton who was joined by Palms owner George Maloof and local funnyman Jeff Beacher. As Hilton and her group danced at their VIP booth, she eventually made her way over to Diddy's table to spice up the party a bit. Surrounding Diddy in his entourage were singing sensations Eve, Ne-Yo, Cassie and Young Joc as well as Taye Diggs, Ray J and Los Angeles Clipper Shaun Livingston. While Diddy held court on the VIP stage, Tommy Lee and Criss Angel tore it up on the opposite side of the stage with a plethora of women and Ryan Starr of American Idol fame. The two buddies rocked all night and took in the electric vibe at LAX while fans tried to catch a glimpse and snap pictures. Son after Pamela Anderson dropped in to check out the nightclub and say a quick hello to Lee. Meanwhile the dance floor VIP tables were lined with celebrities including Adrian Grenier of Entourage who was joined by The Hills cast members Brody Jenner, Frankie Delgado, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port as well as hip hop legend Too Short, rocker Cisco Adler and actor Josh Henderson. Too Short decided to give Diddy a break and took the microphone for a few minutes to sing along as DJ AM blared his old school hits. Shortly after Diddy took the microphone back and addressed the crowd partying Sunday night at Las Vegas' top nightclub destination. Also making LAX the VMA after party of choice was musician Robin Thicke, actors Jesse Spencer of House and Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot.
