By oddJoe ⋅ October 2, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Move over Danica Patrick and whoever your name is with the huge fake boobs: It looks like GoDaddy.com has a new celebrity spokesmodel and it just might be swimmer Amanda Beard.
According to founder and CEO Bob Parsons: “Next week at a formal news conference I will announce our newest celebrity Go Daddy Girl! Here are […]

Note to Amanda Beard: Yes, you are sexy

By oddJoe ⋅ September 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s no bigger turnoff than a sexy girl who knows — and who lets you know that she knows — that she’s sexy. On the flip side, there’s nothing sexier than a good looking girl who doesn’t realize how smoking hot she really is. So the news that Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard sees herself as […]

Amanda Beard Is Rich And Still Smoldering Hot

By oddJoe ⋅ September 7, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Training to be an Olympic swimmer sure doesn’t pay the bills (a lot like blogging, no?), but being a smoking hot medlaist does afford some opportunities to make a little coin.
According an article in Smart Money, Amanda Beard is working towards building a $100 million business empire over the next three years, and she’s off […]

If Holding Your Breath Was An Olympic Sport, David Blaine Would Miss The Podium

By oddJoe ⋅ May 9, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Okay, maybe “Street Magic” and stunts aren’t technically sports, but watching a guy nearly drown himself in the middle of the Lincoln Center Plaza is probably more entertaining than watching Bolton beat Birmingham 1-0, so we’re counting it. Anyway, magicien de rue David Blaine failed last night in his attempt to set a record for […]

Amanda Beard: Poolie & Hottie

By oddJoe ⋅ November 26, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

If they gave Olympic Gold for being smoking hot, Amanda Beard would win every time. As it, though, the Olympic committee only hands out medals for winning actual events, but even there Ms. Beard hasn’t done too shabbily. She won gold and silver medals in 1996, took home the bronze in 2000, and in 2004 […]
