My bowl runneth over
I’m a sucker for all the alternate bowls inspired by the Super Bowl this time of year. It’s nice to see Bud Bowl going strong, of course. And the results of Wing Bowl, a Philadelphia chicken-wing-eating contest, are in: 22-year-old Joey Chestnut first qualified for the event by chugging a gallon of milk in 41 seconds, and then heartily consumed 173 wings to take home the title (and a very silly-looking crown). The AP story notes that many strippers were in attendance, as well as “several sickened contestants.‿
The Animal Planet channel has scheduled Puppy-Bowl II to compete with the big game. Yes, adorable puppies, rolling around in a pretend-stadium, instant replay at the ready. I don’t want to say too much about the half-time show; I will tell you that the press materials promise, “It’s kind of like kittens gone wild.‿
And then there’s Lingerie Bowl III. Disappointingly, Jenny McCarthy and “American Idol’s‿ Ryan Starr are not competing. Thrillingly, my favorite post-modern celebu-tart is: Trishelle Cannatella!
You know her from “The Real World: Las Vegas,‿ “The Surreal Life 2,‿ “Battle of the Network Reality Stars,‿ “Kill Reality,‿ “Celebrity Poker Showdown,‿ “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno,‿ “Playboy: Girls of Reality TV," and “William Hung: Hangin’ With Hung.‿
If you don't know her, then I don't know you.
Her official Lingerie Bowl biography highlights the fact that she was captain of her sorority’s flag football team. Her official Lingerie Bowl photograph captures her -- oiled up -- in pink kneepads.
She’s going to destroy the cotton-candy competition. Go NY Euphoria!
