Oops. So we were a little premature in reporting Maria Sharapova’s newest outfits back in March. We’d hoped that the blue Nike dress would make a Miami debut. Instead Masha opted to wear Gator colors that week and waited until the French Open to parade this new outfit.
The dress — reminiscent of what Stella McCartney designed for Maria Kirilenko at last year’s Wimbledon — can be worn with the black leggings. And Masha did that for her first round match. But she chose to go bare for the second round (photo, left). Yowza!
Also, that embroidered visor is a nice touch.

Mostly sunny and breezy with high temperatures in the low to mid 80s and low temperatures in the upper 60s.
Today’s wacky forecast: Serena Williams will easily win the Sony Ericsson Open, being held on Key Biscayne this week.
This will be despite the fact she devotes a lot of time to fashion design and her new jewelry line – rather than full attention to the demanding sport of tennis.
Er, wait a minute.
Maybe that wasn’t all that wacky. Serena is an adept multitasker. And she’s a proven champion.

Maybe a wackier forecast is that Maria Sharapova (who is bypassing the Sony because of an injury) will give up that grunt thing in favor of a giggle.
The giggle, in turn, will have a devastating psychological impact on her opponents, leaving them completely helpless.
Either that, or they’ll be to properly serve and volley.
Disclaimer: The “wacky forecast” features my own personal predictions, which sometimes wander outside the realm of weather – and, admittedly, are rarely correct.

Maria Sharapova attended the premiere for 10,000 B.C. at the Chinese. It still cracks me up that all these photos of dolled-up celebs have the neon lights of Baja Fresh and Coffee Bean in the background. Only in Los Angeles, I guess. (In case you’re curious, the movie is about a prehistoric mammoth hunter trying to secure the future of his tribe. It stars Masha’s gal pal Camilla Bell.)
Thumbs up: Masha walked down the red carpet in a layered Lanvin dress, gold hoop earrings, and two-tone pumps. She looks good considering how much she’s traveled recently. WTB calculated that the jetsetting Russian has flown 48,237 miles in the last two months. Le sigh, we bloggers have too much time on our hands.

In TV commercials for her sponsor, Canon, Maria Sharapova encourages viewers to “make every shot a power shot.”
A Maria Sharapova crotch shot probably isn’t what she meant.
The head of a Japanese ad agency secretly took crotch shots of the tennis icon as she posed for a Canon ad in 2005, according to a new federal lawsuit.
The gist? Toyo Shigeta, CEO of Dentsu Holdings, snapped the Maria Sharapova upskirt pictures to satisfy an obsession with women’s private parts, according to the suit filed by Dentsu’s former creative director, Steve Biegel.
Well, you know, to paraphrase one of the classic Seinfeld quotes, a woman’s body is like a work of art, while a man’s is like a Jeep - serving utility purposes only.
This Maria Sharapova crotch shot is not the one in question.
“Taking closeup crotch shots of women is a personal obsession of defendant Shigeta,” Steve Biegel says of the Maria Sharapova photos in his lawsuit.
Biegel, 44, said the company actually fired him after he complained about Shigeta’s propensity for pornographic picture taking.
Biegel also says he was forced to go to a bathhouse and a Prague brothel, where Shigeta urged the married Biegel to have sex with a prostitute.
And the alleged Maria Sharapova crotch shot? It’s attached as physical evidence to Biegel’s complaint, and labeled as Exhibit B.

You may need a scorecard to follow this story, but here goes. Envisioning himself as the next Enzo Ferrari, British entrepreneur Arash Farboud founded an exotic sports car company, called Farboud Sports Cars, in the late 1990s with the goal of producing a supercar to rival some of the best in the world. After several attempts, he developed a concept for a car he called the Farboud GTS. But realizing he was stretching himself too thin, and preferring to focus his attention on auto racing as well as managing his family’s pharmaceutical company, Farboud brought in British automotive designer and producer Chris Marsh to oversee the company and produce the GTS.
However, in moving the mid-engine supercar from paper to production, Marsh made a number of critical changes to the car’s design, mechanics, and powerplant. For instance, Marsh opted for an easily acquired Cosworth-tuned, 3.0-liter Ford Duratec V6 that produces 262 bph (British horsepower) and is capable of driving the GTS from 0 to 60 in just under 5 seconds. That car is currently in production at the automaker’s small factory near Bath, England.
Okay, fine so far, but here’s where the twists begin. After Marsh made changes to the GTS’s design, Arash Farboud became disillusioned with the car, since it had strayed too far from what he had originally envisioned. So he launched another car company, which he called Arash Cars, a few years ago. Fearing there might be some confusion (are you confused yet?) in the minds of prospective buyers, Marsh, who remained at the original company, decided to rename his car. And so was born the Farbio.
Granted, it’s an odd name, a sort of Italian twist on the Farboud name. But the Farbio GTS is indeed about to make its way out onto the British, and perhaps American, roadways. The two-seater features a full carbon-fiber body, a steel-tube frame, a complete flat underfloor that helps the supercar stick to the road, and a six-speed manual gearbox. Inside, the Farbio GTS features an ergonomic design, with Sparco Milano reclining seats, a touch-screen navigation system, and bespoke leather organizer pouches, as well as the standard air conditioning, sound system, and power everything.
Pricing for the Farbio GTS will be 59,525 pounds, or around $121,500. A supercharged version will be available for 71,675 pounds, or about $145,000 and change. Reports indicate that the GTS will be available in the U.S., possibly sometime in 2008.
And what of Arash Farboud and his new company? Never content to be left in the dust, he’s in the process of launching the Arash AF10 (below) which, oddly enough, bears a striking resemblance to the GTS, although with a slightly different rear deck design and a more Ferrari-esque front end. No official word yet on when it will be available, but at least it’s nice to know that if you have the bucks, you’ve got a choice of British supercars.

Despite an achingly long roll-out, the first cracks in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG dam have begun to appear, courtesy of CarPoint. Due to be revealed at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show, the 300SL-inspired "Gullwing" is packing a front/mid-mounted version of the venerable 6.3-liter V8 fitted to the majority of AMG's offerings, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox channeling 563 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Weight is pegged at around 3,500 pounds, allowing the SLS to run from a rest to 60 in 3.7 seconds. Top speed is 197 mph and optional carbon ceramic discs should bring the party to a halt with supreme authority

"Our intention was to design an exotic sports car that gracefully combines advanced technology and strong emotion," according to Jon Ikeda, principal designer of the Acura Design Center.
"The technical, machined surfaces and keen-edge design are balanced with sweeping curves and dramatic lines, all of which results in the ultimate exotic sports car."
Wide and low to the ground with a 2763mm wheelbase, the concept is anchored by grippe 19-inch front and 20-inch rear performance tires mounted to custom billet-machined, polished aluminum wheels.
Braking is via powerful, ventilated carbon ceramic brakes with eight-piston calipers. Bold wheel arches and flares add to the concept’s aggressive appearance.
The low slung cabin is constructed entirely of tinted glass and sits flush against the body. Door handles are also flush mounted, allowing the sports car to retain a clean and aerodynamic appearance.
The car has a carbon fiber under body and the rear is finished with aggressive quad exhausts and integrated rear diffusers.

According to Acura, we can expect future products to be influenced by it. Indeed, if the right design cues are carried into production, the aggression will be a shot in the arm to future Acura sedans. Like most concepts, no powertrain lies underhood, but designer Dave Marek says it’s sized such that “a large, powerful engine lurks beneath the surface.” Considering that today the largest, most powerful engine in Acura’s stable is a 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, perhaps this comment hints at the future of Honda’s powertrain group.
I could tell you all about the 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels, the brake calipers, the cooling ducts and any number of other well-meaning features on this design study, but I’m distracted by the aesthetic catastrophe that is the Acura Advanced Sedan Concept.
The show-stopping Acura ‘Advanced Sports Car Concept’ made its world debut today at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. The dynamically styled concept provides a preview of the design direction for the successor to the Acura NSX.

Created to take exotic sports car styling to a new level, the concept is designed to incorporate a powerful front-mounted, V-10 engine and a new high- performance, rear-wheel-drive based version of Acura’s exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD™).
‘The Acura brand will always be a home for people who love to drive,’ said Takeo Fukui, president & CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. ‘As we advance toward building a car like this, I can tell you it will feature advanced technology matching our passion for performance.’
The concept’s exterior demonstrates a dynamic fusion of advanced technology and emotion. The long, pronounced hood features deeply sculpted lines and embossed air vents, both of which hint at the powerful engine beneath. The exterior lines run the length of the body, creating a ribbon- like effect from the front headlights to the rear wheel arches, evoking a feeling of movement and power.

When the prices of gasoline reached its peak over the three dollar mark last year, it changed the landscape of the auto industry. With more and more consumers wary of an impending increase in the prices of gasoline, fuel efficient small cars are now in demand. This resulted to lesser sale of SUVs and other large cars.In this way, the price of gasoline changed the auto industry wherein car manufacturers are now focusing on the development of small cars which are commonly fuel efficient. There are still SUVs being introduced in the market for those who need the capability of these large cars for their lifestyle or business. There are also large trucks with hybrid versions which are aimed at those people who want a big car with good gas mileage. Aside from this, another aspect that the increased gas price affected the auto industry is in the sale of used cars.Recently, more and more consumers are selling their scarborough used car sales on the Internet rather than settling for a trade-in. This is because auto retailers are offering lower prices. The reason behind this is that they are still struggling to sell the large number of SUVs that consumers have been turning their back on at the onset of the oil price hike.The trend in using the Internet to sell scarborough used car dealer gained momentum last year as the prices of gasoline started soaring. Analysts argue that retailers are focusing on selling new SUVs which have seemed to lose its appeal on most car buyers.By the end of last year, 34 percent of the used car sale market is attributed to personal sale of used cars. This trend will likely continue as there are still old vehicles that needs replacing because of the increase in the price of gas.The use of the Internet as a selling tool is a logical step for consumers who want to sell their used cars. The Web is full of online vehicle stores which facilitates the sale of used cars. By using the Internet, consumers have access to a large number of people who are looking for used cars to buy.

A simple definition of a sports car is “a small cheap cars with a high-powered engine, and generally seats two people”. This is more or less a “textbook” definition but gives us an idea of what the public perceives to be a sports car.
The Houghton Mifflin dictionary defines a exotic sports cars as: “An automobile equipped for racing, especially an aerodynamically shaped one-passenger or two-passenger vehicle having a low center of gravity and steering and suspension designed for precise control at high speeds”. This dictionary definition does not seem to capture the general perception of what the public sees as a sports car.
The Houghton Mifflin definition of the “two seat rule” seems out-of-date. Many exotic sports cars today offer small back seats (sometimes referred to as 2+2 seating) and there is a current movement underway to increase the seating room in models long considered exotic sports cars by most automotive experts.
Insurance companies use their own formula in classifying automobiles and often the presence of two doors automatically makes any car a “sports car” in their eyes. This perspective, of course, is as overly simplistic as the standard dictionary approach to defining a sports car. One can certainly think of any number of two door vehicles that fall far short of being an actual sports car. Economy cars and even larger two-door vehicles that are not built with power and performance in mind should not qualify as true exotic sports cars.

Some car buffs will refer to high-performance muscle cars and other larger vehicles as exotic sports cars. Others, however, draw a distinction between these vehicles and “true” Exotic sports cars. These individuals will claim that a car can be a “sporting car” or simply “sporty” but still fall short of being a true sports car. Thus, “regular” cars may be outfitted with a “sports package” and/or accessories to make the car sportier, but may not fit a strict definition of a sports car.
Not all automotive enthusiasts, however, embrace this restrictive view of exotic sports cars. In many circles, a sports car is any car offering greater performance or power than more standard offerings. This school of thought will consider muscle cars and other larger vehicles designed with performance in mind as exotic sports cars.
Others will maintain that the distinction between a sports car and any other type of car lies in how the car’s suspension and handling are addressed. Technical debates rage over whether various suspension packages qualify as belonging to true “exotic sports cars“.
Some will argue that a sports car can be defined by its intentions. If the car is designed for performance more so than for utility, they say, it is a sports car. This intent-based definition, however, provides little guidance in determining whether a car is a sports car or not. Particularly in the modern era, the notion of designing a car of any sort without significant consideration of its feasibility and utility seems unlikely. Any commercially viable vehicle, regardless of its performance, must retain significant utility.
Road and Track, a leading automotive publication, summarizes the sports card definition debate with a simple observation: “Ask five people the exact definition of a sports car, and you’ll likely get five different answers”.
There is no clear-cut definition of what really is a sports car. The restrictive definitions of the past seem ill suited to categorize today’s’ diverse automotive offerings and common usage of the term runs contrary to most long-held definitions.
There is, however, a common thought that seems to run through almost all of the outlooks on the meaning of “sports car”. If a car is designed with high performance or race-like capabilities in mind, it can probably be safely termed a sports car. Some purists may balk at such a liberal perspective, but alternative definitions fall far short of accurately distinguishing exotic sports cars form regular production models.

Apparently, fellow Mavs teammates were leery of Dirk Nowitski’s fiancé all along, cautioning and advising Dirk to hire a private investigator to do a background check on his fiancé Cristal Taylor. The young woman was arrested at the Mavs player’s Preston Hollow estate Wednesday morning (while the Mavs were returning from Denver) and after police received a tip from an FBI task force officer. And the story gets even stranger. The young dancer apparently has been using over eight different aliases and has outstanding warrants in two counties. Friends of Nowitski have confirmed that Taylor is pregnant and the two are engaged (Dirk apparently bought Taylor a $250,000 ring.)

Dirk Nowitzki has a little bit more to worry about than just a crazy stalker.

The chick he sent to jail for breaking into his house is, or at least was, his fiance. Now she definitely knows that she is pregnant with Dirk's baby.

Or at least she's claiming it's Dirk's baby.

Dirk Nowitzki was able to laugh and call it 55 minutes of intense basketball fun.

Joaquim Gomes was on the verge of tears as he talked about his team’s heart and effort.

Those who saw Germany’s 108-103 triple-overtime victory over Angola on Thursday in the first round of the FIBA world championships will never forget it.

Nowitzki scored 11 of his 47 points in the third overtime to give Germany (4-1) the win in the first triple-overtime game in the history of the world championships and second place in the six-team Group B.

Angola (3-2) finished third, but added to the respect the African champions have earned in the tournament.

“That was just a fun game to be a part of for the fans, coaches and players,” said Nowitzki, the 7-foot star from the Dallas Mavericks who had 16 rebounds and went 17-for-17 from the free-throw line while playing 49 minutes.

Holy cow that must’ve been an awesome game, first 3OT in history, and damn… Dirk is just unstoppable. A seven footer who can hit threes and goes 17 for 17 from the line?

A very deserving MVP winner from last season. Dirk Nowitzki seems to have solid seasons every single year. He’s a competitor, shoots the lights out, and has learned to play some descent defense.

The annual NBA.com is out, and they're hit-and-miss when it comes to Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki. Of the seven ballers picked as MVP contenders, ain't one of 'em named Dirk; instead, the GMs' early-season picks are, in order, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade and Yao Ming -- yow, indeed, especially since Nowitzki is the reigning league MVP. But at least Dirk places on the list of players GM would pick to flesh out a new franchise: Of the five players listed, Dirk comes in at ... fifth, garnering a meager 3.7 percent of the vote (compared to LeBron's 59.3 percent.)

Dirk also places at the bottom of the list of the six top players who force opposing coaches to make the most adjustments, coming in after Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, LeBron James and Shaquille O'Neal. But he is the third best power forward in the league, behind Duncan and Garnett, so at least he's got that going for him

Well...not really -- at least, not so far. But according tojust posted at RealGM.com, Dirk Nowitzki did snatch the Most Valuable Player award, just edging out Phoenix Sun and former Mavs teammate and drinking buddy Steve Nash. Dirk got 17 first-place votes and eight second-place votes for a total of 109 points, while Nash came in second with 82 points.

Pause the obituary and fast-forward the optimism, because Dirk Nowitzki just saved his ass and his team’s season with a comeback of Staubachian proportions. Just as another passive performance was shoving his Mavericks to the brink of an unthinkable elimination, Nowitzki suddenly summoned one of in NBA playoff history. With Dallas trailing Golden State 112-103 with 3:10 remaining, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, blocked a shot, hit another three and climaxed his climax by making six of seven free throws in the Mavericks’ unfathomable 15-0 run and 118-112 Game 5 victory.

Its MVP candidate resurrected, Dallas is back from the dead in a best-of-seven series that moves to Oakland for Thursday night’s Game 6. And, yes, after a memorable, magic night at the AAC, remains a viable conclusion. And while were busy doling out blame and digging Dallas’ grave, I joined the largest crowd to ever watch hoops at the AAC and got busy watching an instant classic.

For a change, Mavs fans were a positive factor. Despite the building’s artificial ambience and non-stop cues for when to be rowdy, loud and proud, the crowd stood most of the game, acquiesced to P.A. dork Billy Hayes’ constant demands of “Let’s Go Mavs!” and even generated their own “You Suck!” chant toward Baron Davis during a fourth-quarter free throw. The fans even stayed awake despite life-force-draining shenanigans to start the fourth. Seriously, a midget first dancing to an Al Green slow jam and then stepping onto a scale to weigh himself is supposed to get the home bunch jacked for the stretch? WTF?

And you know what else: Owner Mark Cuban was great too. With his team down 109-103 and the building in stunned silence, Cuban calmly bobbed his head to “Crazy Train” and moved to the edge of his team’s huddle to clap encouragement and offer vocal support. Not wild, animated suggestions, mind you, just a good old-fashioned one-man pep rally. Bravo.

Despite all the positive vibes, man, did it get bleak. When an off-balance Davis hit Golden State’s 16th -- yes, 16th! -- three-pointer of the night, Dallas was in a nine-point hole and the dude with the hood and the sickle was limbering. Dirk, however, wasn’t ready to die. “Our whole season was swimming away,” he would say later.

That’s when, just in time, he stopped thinking and started playing. A catch-and-shoot three got Dallas within 112-106. A block on Matt Barnes earned another possession and another three, this one after a nifty pump fake to trim the margin to 112-109. Like some of us predicted, Nellie and his band of underdogs totally wilted as frontrunners. The long jumpers that seemed so effortless all night came up woefully short in the last three minutes, as Golden State missed its last eight shots. Devin Harris made a driving layup, Dirk grabbed two key rebounds and calmly sank free throws after ensuing fouls and, finally, Dallas breathed a sigh of relief.

Dallas has been stagnant and downright ineffective more often than not in this series, and here’s hoping the improbable comeback came complete with an illuminated light bulb over Dirk’s noggin. At the ends of Game 4 and 5, with seemingly nothing only the line, Nowitzki swished four out of four three-pointers. If he plays loose Thursday, Dallas will force a Game 7 Saturday at the AAC that just might be as exciting as last night’s Game 5Which means absolutely nothing: The GMs also chose the Mavs' Avery Johnson as their Coach of the Year -- a day after Toronto Raptors' head coach Sam Mitchell.
